Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Soldier's Progress, From the War Letters of Carnegie Tech Men
Early this morning, some thirty moments before the sun, I dressed and Slipped from the house to go for a dip in the pit, an abandoned stone-quarry nearby. It is about a third full of spring water, twenty or thirty feet deep, and blue-green as only spring water can be. After my plunge I scaled the cliff-like walls naked and perched high on a stone, waiting the sun. I busied myself by drawing on the dew-covered leaves of a mullein the initials of all my friends. That mullein, a lusty one, did not have leaves enough for all the people I could think of with pleasure. True, some people need several leaves, for they contain many lovable persons in one. Then the sun came up, a magnificent rose of yellow. With all of this I am back at home writing my good-byes before any of my lazy family are apparent.

Excerpt from The Soldier's Progress, From the War Letters of Carnegie Tech Men
To achieve a narrative of this composite kind, it has been necessary to pass by much of interest. But there are times when the commonplace tells a deeper story than does the extraordinary. Our sacrifice of the unusual, in the sense of the curious, the intensely personal, or the exciting, has been well advised if, as you read the following pages, your imagination, engaged with their quality, perceives in them occasionally the presence not of different young men, but of all young men, of Youth itself, prince of Adventurers and Crusaders.
