[Rarebooks] Alice's Adventures at Harvard... 1913

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

I think that I may never see,
an undergraduate snorting tea...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Evarts, R.C. & E.L. Barron. "ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN CAMBRIDGE" Cambridge;
The Harvard Lampoon: 1913.

Genial hijinks from the staff of the Harvard Lampoon using the popular
theme of Alice in Wonderland, and illustrated with amusing Tenniel-like
pen and ink drawings. One might suppose that such undergraduate buffoonery
would be unintelligible to people unfamiliar with Harvard or Cambridge,
but, although there is certainly a certain amount of humor pertaining to
Harvard of the day, there is also quite a bit which is applicable to
college and scholarly life in general -the chapter on the Student Council
Meeting, for instance, will be readily recognizable to almost everyone...

Hardcover. 5.25"x6.75", 67 pages, b/w illustrations; pictorial covers;
front cover with a crease and it appears a mend; a little internal soil
and very light spotting to the preliminaries. [03579] $100.00
