Deering Series by Latta Griswold

The Deering Series is a set of five books that relate the adventures of boys/young men at prep school and college. The stories are well illustrated with numerous glossy pictures and were published by Macmillan. It was one of only three pre-1930 series listed in Mattson. The books of this series are very hard to find in dust jacket.

Latta Griswold (1876-1931) authored the series. Griswold attended the Princeton Theological Institute and graduated from the General Theological Seminary in New York in 1905. He was a rector at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Lenox, Massachusetts at the time of his death. In 1926 he founded the Lenox School.
