The Lawrenceville stories
From Conservapedia
The Lawrenceville stories are a series of novels by Owen Johnson, relating student life in Lawrenceville at the end of the 1900s. They include The Prodigious Hickey, The Tennessee Shad, and The Varmint. The latter centers around the life of a character named Dink Stover, whose story is continued in Johnson's later novel, Stover at Yale.
The series invites comparison to Kipling's Stalky and Company; both belong to what is practically a small genre of boarding-school fiction, beginning with Hughes' Tom Brown's School-Days and most recently including J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels (which combine elements of traditional boarding-school fiction with the genre of "swords-and-sorcery" fantasy).
