“The Thing in Itself” is the translation of the title of this little gem published by the Senior Class of 1908. What makes it even more memorable is the fact that this phrase was found in and used repeatedly in Kant’s “Critique of Pure Reason”.
Hmm, a little jab in the title, not just the content!
The sarcasm and wit as the Senior Class skewers fellow classmates, teachers and the institutions of Knox is wonderful. I am going to have to put up the class rosters one of these days so we can put real names to the pseudonyms used here. Read through the advertisements. Only about half of them are legitimate adverts. The humor runs through to the end.
The class of 1909 published the Phpa-Hotep book, which can be read as a response to this book.
