Colleges and Universities Trivia

By Lance D. Williams

There's a long history of higher learning institutions. There are a lot of interesting traditions, research breakthroughs, athletic accomplishments, dissertations, and so many other things. There are over 25,000 universities around the world. There are over 200 million students and millions of faculty members, so there's plenty to learn about colleges and universities. When helping my daughters select an institution that would be the right fit for them and going on college tours, we learned about many places and people. I decided to do extensive research and put a trivia book together so other people could learn about things they might not know about. Whether you're looking for a school or just want to learn interesting facts about institutions, this book could be helpful.
