Oxford University is famed for the intelligence and innovation of
its students. However, not all the undergraduates have devoted
their talents to academia; instead they spent their time devising
ingenious and hilarious pranks to play on their unsuspecting dons.
This entertaining volume recalls some of the greatest stunts and
practical jokes in the university's history, including those by
Oscar Wilde, Percy Shelley, T.E. Lawrence, Richard Burton, and
Roger Bacon. Ranging from the stunt that gave Folly Bridge its name
and a nineteenth-century jape that resulted in the expulsion of all
the students from University College, to the long-running rivalry
between Town and Gown and the exploits of the infamous Bullingdon
Club, "Oxford Student Pranks" will amaze and enthrall in equal
measure--and may well prove a source of inspiration for current
students wishing to enliven their undergraduate days.
