About This Book

A series of comic, self-contained sketches portrays life at an imagined small college through pranks, athletic contests, fraternity initiations, courtships, and faculty-student clashes. The narrator's wry, affectionate tone alternates between reminiscence and exaggeration, and the campus functions less as a fixed place than as a mutable stage for recurring episodes. Each chapter supplies its own little plot, together sketching a portrait of camaraderie, youthful mischief, and the absurdities of campus routine.
