"The Land of Joy" by Ralph Henry Barbour is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John North, a college student returning to Harvard for another academic year, and introduces his responsibilities as a mentor to Phillip Ryerson, a fresh and somewhat reckless newcomer from Virginia. The narrative sets the stage for themes of friendship, mentorship, and the challenges of college life as the characters navigate their relationships and the expectations placed upon them. The opening of the novel depicts John North's return from summer vacation to a sweltering Cambridge, where he reflects on his college experiences and the changes he has undergone. He eagerly anticipates the arrival of his friend Phillip, whom he is expected to look after, a task he initially finds burdensome. As John prepares his space and interacts with his surroundings, he expresses a mix of nostalgia and apprehension. The eventual arrival of Phillip introduces a dynamic that promises both humor and conflict, as John learns more about his new ward's background and temperament, setting the stage for their unfolding relationship against the vibrant backdrop of college life.
