From the open window of his rooms on York Street Frank Merriwell heard
the distant chorus of a rollicking band of students who had been having a
merry evening in town.
Frank had passed his examinations successfully and had been admitted as a
student at Yale. In order to accomplish this without taking a preparatory
course at Phillips Academy, he had found it necessary to vigorously brush
up the knowledge he had acquired at the Fardale Military Academy which
was a college preparatory school.
Professor Scotch, Frank's guardian, had been of great assistance to him, for
the professor knew just about what would be required at the entrance ex-
amination, and he had kept the boy digging away away at the propositions
in the First Book of Euclid, had drilled him in Caesar, caused him to spend

weary hours over Virgil and the Iliad, and made him not a little weary of his
Xenophon.
As he passed without a condition, although he had been told again and again
that a course at Phillips Academy was almost an absolute necessity, Frank
was decidedly grateful to the professor.
Professor Scotch's anxiety had brought him to New Haven, where he re-
mained till the agony was over, as Frank expressed it. The little man bub-
bled over with delight when he found his protégé had gone through without
a struggle.
Having secured the rooms on York Street, the professor saw Frank comfort-
ably settled, and then, before taking his departure, he attempted to give the
boy some wholesome advice.
Don't try to put on many frills here the first year, he said. You will find
that freshmen do not cut much of a figure here. It doesn't make any differ-
ence what you have done or what you have been elsewhere, you will have to
establish a record by what you do and what you become here. You'll find
these fellows here won't care a rap if you have discovered the North Pole
or circumnavigated the globe in-er-ah-ten days. It will be all the better
for you if you do not let them know you are rich in your own name and
have traveled in South America, Africa, Europe, and other countries. They'd
think you were bragging or lying if you mentioned it, and-
You know well enough that I am not given to boasting about myself, pro-
fessor, and so you are wasting your breath, said Frank, rather resentfully.
Hum! ha! Don't fly off the handle-keep cool. I know you have sand, and
you're made of the right kind of stuff; but you are the greatest hand
