Busy School Burlesque Sheet Ribs Trans-River Dignitaries

All men before being commissioned as officers in any branch of the armed forces will be trained at the Harvard Business School, proudly announced "The Business School Bugle," a bootleg, burlesque paper which Friday leaped into lurid prominence in the world across the Charles.

From the brazen front page assertion that "We Thinks This Place Stinks" the four-page, bile-orange colored paper went on to claim that it was "Loathed by the President, Loved by the Fellows of Harvard University."

Although the place of publication was a thinly disguised "Bawston," other figures in the articles such as "Pinkie" and "Patsy" and "Panther-Puss" were less easy for the novice to identify. Neither personalities nor departments of the University were sacred to the whimsical and anonymous editors who labeled one cut as "The Dean Shovels It Out to First Year Suckers."
