Instructions from a father to his son on entering college
Gellert, Christian Fürchtegott, 1715-1769 translated and published in 1823

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_F%C3%BCrchtegott_Gellert

The publication of the following letter was recommended in the assurance that it was calculated to make a salutary impression on the mind and heart of ingenuous youth; and that all considerate parents would feel pleased with having it in their power to present their children, when going either to the Academy or College, with a little book containing the most affectionate, serious and judicious advice.
