Nine letters follow a freshman through the gates of Oxford. Berens covers the choices that actually decide a university career: companions, expenses, study, amusements, and the habits that survive graduation. Quiet, practical counsel from an older head who remembers being eighteen. Two centuries later, anyone starting college will recognize every temptation on the list.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
