College stories; Sports stories; Yale University -- Juvenile fiction
Undergraduate life was a thing of the past, and as our three
friends walked slowly back to their room to begin packing for
their departure, there was little joy in their bearing. Even the
irrepressible Codfish was temporarily subdued.
"Well, was it worth it, eh, Frank?" said Turner as he began throwing
things into his trunk.
"Was it worth it? Why, Jimmy, it is worth half a man's life to be
here four years."
"My sentiments, too," broke in the Codfish.
"And mine," said a deep voice at the door. It was David Powers, one
of the big forces in the undergraduate world, who had won his way to
prominence in literary work while his friends were climbing athletic
heights.
"Let's pledge ourselves, then, to old Yale," said Frank, and the four
boys grasped hands.
"We may never meet like this again, fellows, but let us not forget
that wonderful old line----
"'For God, for country and for Yale.'"
THE END.
