"I'm a modest man so I wouldn't want to take the credit for it," said Gilbert Pattan, author of the numerous "Frank Morriwell" stories, "but it is a fact that enrollment at Yale has increased since Frank first entered those hallowed halls of old Eli."
Young Merriwell, whose meteoric rise to glory was capped with leadership of four major sport teams and membership in Yale's most sacred societies left Yale in his Junior year much to the bitter disappointment of many, many hero-worshipping Elis.
"Frank set the standard," concluded his author, "that I understand all true Yale men to this day have lived up to--not to drink, not to smoke, and never to swear."
