Piled Higher And Deeper

the folklore of student life

Plot

College isn't just a training ground for life, it is life-a society and culture unto itself, with its own customs, jargon, legends, jokes, and beliefs. In Piled Higher and Deeper, folklorist Simon J. Bronner takes a long, engaging look at the experience of American campus life, and how it shapes the cultural and social values of all who pass through it. He draws his material from a variety of campuses for a work broadly representative of America's colleges and universities.
