A ROMANCE OF COLLEGE LIFE
THE TORCH
By
HERBERT M. HOPKINS
This novel of American University life presents the struggle
for life that goes on wherever men are gathered. It is a tale of
the battle of men for leadership, of strength and craft, of wealth
and competition. It is a story full of battle and defeat and
victory. The Torch is as engrossing as a romance of derring-do.
—New York Mail and Express.
The book is clever and entertaining, and likely to be found
so by every class of readers. Its theme is novel, its incidents
unhackneyed, and its interest of the live and up-to-date sort.
College men in particular should read it. The author is to be
congratulated on having produced a novel of originality and
distinction.—Indianapolis Journal.
There are scenes in The Torch that will be numbered among
the few scenes in American fiction that are really a pleasure to
remember.—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
As a picture of University life of today from the standpoint
of the men who mold it, the book is admirable and full of keen,
unprejudiced observation.—Boston Herald.
The Torch is an admirably well written novel of sustained
interest and cumulative force.
