A Summary of the Emperor's Club
William Hundert is an instructor at St. Benedict's School for Boys, an exclusive private academy on the East Coast. Hundert strongly believes moulding his students by using principles from Greek and Roman philosophers. The students here are the children of rich men. The purpose of the school is to mold them into leaders.
Hundert finds himself with a group of challenging students like a party-minded Fred Masoudi , an aintroverted Martin Blythe , an intelligent but mischievous Deepak Mehta , and rebellious Sedgewick Bell who is the son of a powerful politician. Bell always undermine Hundert opinions by questioning the importance of the material, flouting the school's rules, talking out of turn in class, and devoting as much time to his interest in girls as in his studies.
One day, the school is holding its annunal academic competition for the title of Mr. Julius Caesar (Emperor’s Club). Hundert sees a potential on Belll, and encourages him to take part in this competition. During the elimination round, Hundert changes the rules in scoring to favor Bell . At the final round Hundert figures out that Bell is cheating. Hundert did not expose Bell, instead changes the questions so that it's different from what he prepared, unluckily Bell doesn't know the answer, but another bright student does and he wins. Hundert is very disapponyed with Bell and they part ways.
Years after, the Hundert reunites with many of his old pupils. As a reunion event, they decide to have another Emperor's Club elimination. Bell, together with his son, who looks up to him, was there too and both Hundert and Bell meet again. They begin the Emperor's Club elimination again, but Hundert finds out that Bell is cheating again. Hundert confronts Bell inside the bathroom and Bell loses his temper, admits cheating and saying things like 'winning is all that counts,' no matter what you have to do. Hundert is very disappointed again. Without their knowledge, Bell’s son heard and saw their
