The Top Ten College Pranks of All Time
by Molly McCall

The Museum of Hoaxes proudly presents this roll call of mischief and mayhem stirred up by young so-called scholars. And though "of all time" may be stretching it a bit, this collection of spectacularly impish behavior does cover the 20th century, with award-winning instances of lampoonery and exuberant lack of sportsmanship cropping up during the Great Depression, the mid-1950s, and, the post-hippie '70s. Needless to say, nothing is sacrosanct. The Statue of Liberty, the Republican Party, the Olympic torch, the Rose Bowl, and a sacred cod have all, at one time or other, suffered the consequences of college students' endless talent for trouble (and utter disregard for pomp or circumstance). Sadly, the list stops in 2000, so recent tricks pulled with the aid of the Web have not yet had their crack at the top 10. Regardless, the document stands as a testament to the brazen tomfoolery that the young adult brain is capable of cooking up.
