Book Description
Excerpt from Frank Merriwell at Yale 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 remained till the agony was over, as Frank expressed it. The little man bubbled over with delight when he found his protégé had gone through without a struggle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
