Features: A letter from a self-made businessman to Harvard students. The author, George Lorimer, was a renowned American writer, editor-in-chief, and founder of The Saturday Evening Post. This book is a collection of dozens of letters written by a successful businessman to his son studying at Harvard, achieved through self-effort. After its publication, it topped the American bestseller list for two consecutive years. The book imparts valuable insights on how to live a meaningful college life, how to acquire knowledge, how to interact with others, and how to enter society, making it a classic guide for young people's growth. Charles Eliot, the second president of Harvard University, praised the book: "This book is a precious gift for all current and future students—whether in high school or college. These letters reveal many principles of conduct and behavioral norms that our schools often overlook, yet they are anything but dry and rigid."
