| Summary | "Ralph Osborn--Midshipman at Annapolis" by Edward L. Beach is a fictional narrative set in the early 20th century. The story follows the experiences of Ralph Osborn, a determined young man aspiring to attend the United States Naval Academy. It depicts his journey through the competitive examination process, his deep desire to become a naval officer, and the challenges and friendships he encounters along the way. The opening portion of the story introduces Ralph's fervent wish to join the Naval Academy, emphasizing his mathematical aptitude and a compelling conversation with his father about funding his education. Ralph learns of a competitive examination for an appointment and expresses confidence in his abilities. The narrative also hints at a complicated family dynamic involving Uncle George, who re-emerges in Ralph's life as a potential ally. This sets the stage for Ralph's admission into the Academy, paving the way for his adventures and the trials he will face as he navigates the rigors of midshipman life.
