Summary "At Good Old Siwash" by George Fitch is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the antics and adventures of college life at the fictitious Siwash College, particularly focusing on characters such as Ole Skjarsen, a Norwegian giant with a heart of gold and a knack for football, and his experiences navigating the chaotic and comedic world of college fraternities and sports. The tone suggests a nostalgia for the carefree and sometimes ridiculous nature of student life. At the start of the novel, the author introduces us to the whimsical chaos that characterizes Siwash College. The preface humorously establishes the premise that the college itself is a fictional amalgamation of various institutions, with no clear boundaries or identity. The opening chapter introduces Ole Skjarsen, who is preparing to play a crucial football game, showcasing his physical prowess and unique personality. As Ole begins to adjust to college life and football under the guidance of his coach, Bost, readers are immediately drawn into a comedic exploration of teamwork, the absurdities of initiation rites, and the distinct challenges of fitting in at college, setting the stage for the delightful escapades ahead.
