Philosophy 4: A Story of Harvard University

"Philosophy 4: A Story of Harvard University" by Owen Wister is a lighthearted tale set in late 19th-century Harvard. It playfully examines college life through the lens of a challenging philosophy course and the antics of its students. Two sophomores, Bertie and Billy, find themselves hilariously unprepared for their Philosophy 4 final and enlist a serious classmate to help them cram. As the trio wrangles with Plato and Berkeley, their contrasting personalities lead to witty banter and absurd interpretations of complex ideas. Their unexpected journey results in a surprisingly good exam performance, outshining their tutor and proving that understanding can be found in the most unexpected ways.
