Marjorie Dean's Romance

"Marjorie Dean's Romance" by Pauline Lester is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Marjorie Dean, who is now a post-graduate at Hamilton College, working on a biography of its founder, Brooke Hamilton. As she navigates her academic pursuits, Marjorie's friendships and relationships with her classmates, particularly her charming and lively friend Jerry Macy, play a significant role in her life. At the start of the story, the sun breaks through a gloomy afternoon as Marjorie engages in her writing in Brooke Hamilton's study. The balance between her focused ambition and the light-hearted banter with Jeremiah Macy introduces readers to their close friendship. They share a playful exchange about campus life and the impending arrival of their friends, setting the stage for a social gathering at Wayland Hall. Through the interactions, we learn about Marjorie's meaningful connection with Miss Susanna Hamilton (the founder's great-niece), and her commitment to preserving the legacy of Brooke Hamilton, while hints of drama and ambition within the student community begin to unfold.
