Book excerpt: For over a century, through wars, prohibiton, the automobile, the airplane and final exams, college students have always found something to laugh about. And, quite naturally, most of the nonsense deals with the standard fare of liquor, sex, professors and academic pursuits. In this collection of 100 years of college humor, ou will find the best - and sometimes the worst - of over 95 college magazines. The material is arranged by decade and designed to resemble the look, in type and layout, of any college magazine which came out during those years. This survey course in college humor traces campus wit from the early years through the wild twenties, the depressed thirties, the confused forties, the "who cares?" fifties and the critical sixties. Hundreds of writers, poets, artists and thieves - many of them anonymous - are represented in this volume. Those who admitted authorship can be found in the index.
