Excerpt from The Path in the Ravine
When Russell Hillson entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, from one of the New England States, his resolution was that of almost every young gentleman admitted to that institution; he would graduate at the head of his class, which numbered 103. This is a commendable ambition, since it ensures the best efforts of the cadet, but, inasmuch as only one budding general of the army can attain that distinction, it follows that the others must be disappointed.
