Following his graduation he went to New York to visit with one of his classmates for a short timebefore returning home. He was a very self-satisfied Jimmy, nor who can wonder, since almost fromhis matriculation there had been constantly dinned into his ears the plaudits of his fellow students.Jimmy Torrance had been the one big outstanding feature of each succeeding class from hisfreshman to his senior year, and as a junior and senior he had been the acknowledged leader of thestudent body and as popular a man as the university had ever known.To his fellows, as well as to himself, he had been a great success-the success of the university-andhe and they saw in the future only continued success in whatever vocation he decided to honor withhis presence.
