[Rarebooks] FA: 1913 Harvard 'Alice in Wonderland' Spoof

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

We have a cool spoof on "Alice in Wonderland" set at Harvard ending today 
on Ebay.
The auction has no reserve, because reserves make me sneeze.

Alice goes down a rabbit hole and comes out in Harvard Square...

"ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN CAMBRIDGE" By R.C. Evarts. Illustrated by E.L. 
Barron. Published by the Harvard Lampoon in 1913.

Genial hijinks from the staff of the Harvard Lampoon using the popular 
theme of Lewis Carroll's (aka Charles Dodgson's) Alice in Wonderland, and 
illustrated with amusing Tenniel-like pen and ink drawings.

One might suppose that such 1913 undergraduate buffoonery would be 
unintelligible to people unfamiliar with Harvard or Cambridge of that era, 
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 
Harvard, and also college and scholarly life, in general -the chapter on 
the Student Council Meeting, for instance, will be readily recognizable to 
almost everyone... The authors cleverly, if not subtly, adapt several 
classic Carrol poems as well. Great fun.
