and enterprise is a most likable young fellow."

your appreciation of how a boy would enjoy this book.... The author
preaches cleanness and fairness in classroom and on athletic

_The Fugitive Freshman_

--_Philadelphia Ledger._
"Wherever he goes he takes with him the college atmosphere, and while
away engages in many entertaining adventures."
--_Boston Globe._
"Ralph D. Paine has never told a better story for boys than in 'The
Fugitive Freshman.' His young hero disappears from college because he
fears his father's wrath over the debts he has piled up and has all
kinds of adventures. It is an excellent book because the author is
never sensational. He points good morals without any preaching."--_San
Francisco Chronicle._
