A Williams senior comically crashes into Hellzapoppin for three minutes prompting a staged cake swap with a newspaper reader. The piece lampoons entrance exams and Harvard deanery skepticism, then surveys at University of Rochester Women’s College and class dynamics with professors and apple polishing, all in a cheeky, era tone.
