"Two College Friends" by Frederic W. (Frederic Wadsworth) Loring is a tale set in the late 1800s about college days and choices. It follows Ned and Tom, two tight college buddies, as they navigate classes, friendship, and the start of war. The story looks into their strong relationship, shows the true meaning of loyalty, and deals with the hard parts of growing up in a time of conflict.

In a funny but also serious scene, Ned worries about Tom’s friendship with another student, acting a bit jealous. This gives us a peek into their world, suggesting there's a strong connection and affection as they move through college and into their futures, as the professor sees their destiny intertwined as students and beyond.
