Winfield<br/> (Edward Stratemeyer)<br/></p> <h2 id="id00012" style="margin-top: 4em">INTRODUCTION</h2> <p id="id00013" style="margin-top: 2em">My Dear Boys:</p> <p id="id00014">"The Rover Boys at School" has been written that those of you who have never put in a term or more at an American military academy for boys may gain some insight into the workings of such an institution.</p> <p id="id00015">While Putnam Hall is not the real name of the particular place of learning I had in mind while penning this tale for your amusement and instruction, there is really such a school, and dear Captain Putnam is a living person, as are also the lively, wide-awake, fun-loving Rover brothers, Dick, Tom, and Sam, and their schoolfellows, Larry, Fred, and Frank. The same can be said, to a certain degree, of the bully Dan Baxter, and his toady, the sneak, commonly known as "Mumps."</p> <p id="id00016">The present story is complete in itself, but it is written as the first of a series, to be followed by "The Rover Boys on the Ocean" and "The Rover Boys in the Jungle," in both of which volumes we will again meet many of our former characters.</p> <p id="id00017">Trusting that this tale will find as much favor in your hands as have my previous stories, I remain,</p> <p id="id00018">Affectionately and sincerely yours,</p> <h5 id="id00019">EDWARD STRATEMEYER</h5> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
