| Summary |
"Frank Merriwell's Strong Arm; Or, Saving an Enemy" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the early 20th century. This engaging story follows Frank Merriwell, a well-known athlete and moral paragon at Yale, as he navigates a series of challenges and confrontations, particularly with those envious of his success. The narrative explores themes of friendship, bravery, and integrity, showcasing Merriwell's character as he engages in sports and faces physical dangers. The beginning of the novel sets the stage for a lively spring day at Yale, where students, particularly seniors, are caught in a wave of youthful exuberance. We are introduced to Frank Merriwell and his peers spinning tops in a moment of nostalgia, reflecting on their impending transition to adulthood. Tension arises between Frank and the Chickering Set, a group that seeks to undermine him out of jealousy. The plot quickly escalates when a chaotic scene unfolds involving runaway horses, prompting Frank to heroically step in to save two women from imminent danger. This opening portion effectively captures not just the vibrant atmosphere of college life but also hints at the conflicts and rivalries that lay ahead in the story.
