A collection of satirical short stories about the outstanding men, women (and one very well educated dog ) who made the mythical State University one of the 300 top public institutions in the United States. Leaders described here include Professor Boris Lebkuchen, father of the gastrointestinal (G.I.) theory of history; Willard Bright, inventor of the flameless jet engine; and Melvin Moulder, whose development of carrier bees revolutionized military intelligence during World War II.
