Name of the university

I've been through this whole book and there isn't one chapter on farting.

That is very interesting to hear about!

Well, yes -- kinda outa place in Memphis.

Until the past five years ago or so, Midtown Memphis, TN had a viable arts community, lots of trees, and the Rhodes campus fit in. It's a very Collegiate Gothic / Tudor style campus.

I'd like to reiterate, however, that this is DEFINITALY Rhodes college in Memphis, and was called Southwestern at Memphis until 1984. This movie was filmed in 1982, at Southwestern (now Rhodes) at Memphis. It DOES look a lot like Canada or upstate New York, and as I said, Rhodes college does EVERYTHING first rate -- its most menial employees are polite, respectful, and helpful, the students hold doors open, everyone is polite, freindly and helpful while still being very Ivy League and upper class. The campus has less than 2,000 students probably more like 1300.

In real life, the setting has come under attack by those claiming to speak for non-whites who somehow feel their culture is not represented on the campus. In truth, Rhodes is a VERY involved, socially active school, its students volunteering 100s of hours in tutoring and mentoring throughout the city. A lot of neighborhood centers get a lot of helpful volunteers out of Rhodes -- and yes, it is a very WASP-y type school

There is no way a Rhodes student could possibly live on Elvis Presley Boulevard, however -- it would be a long commute, - it's not as bad now as it was, but Elvis Presley Boulevard is Carjack Alley. Memphis is one of the most violent cities in the U.S. and the crime on Elvis Presley boulivard is horrendous, though not as bad as it was in the 1980s and '90s.
