Frank Armstrong at College

"Frank Armstrong at College" by Matthew M. Colton is an engaging tale of youth coming of age in a university setting. The narrative introduces Frank Armstrong and his companions as they embark on their academic journeys at Yale, facing typical college experiences like settling in as first-year students, engaging in sporting contests, and establishing lasting friendships. Frank, with his spirited attitude and resolve, actively engages in events from wrestling bouts to football games. The story begins by painting a colorful picture of students arriving at Yale to start the school year, beginning with a custom freshman welcome. We are introduced to Frank Armstrong, his buddy Jimmy Turner, and the extremely enthusiastic 'Codfish', who bravely competes in a wrestling match despite his lack of physical ability. As the freshmen form bonds, they face the everyday challenges of college life, heightened by the possibility of adventure and fun. The excitement of starting college, the thrill of competition, and the expectation of forming strong bonds combine to create an interesting introduction to the dynamic realm of Frank's college years.
