When Dr. William S. Carlson, 52, became president of the 2½-year-old State University of New York in 1952, he took over what is probably the most outlandish educational hodgepodge in the nation. From his Albany office, which is not even on a campus, he watches over two medical schools, a forestry and a maritime college, four community colleges, a fashion institute of technology, six technical institutes, six more technical-and-agricultural institutes, twelve teachers colleges.

There are 100,000 known Shulmaniacs currently at large in the U.S. This cultish tribe spends easy ($3.50 per spindly copy of Rally Round the Flag, Boys!) and laughs easy-at soggy puns, campus wheezes, G.I. antics and leering badinage about the hot-and-cold war between the sexes. As a humorist, Max (Barefoot Boy with Cheek) Shulman is a kind of roadhouse Wodehouse, a breezy, rattlebrained funnyman whose books can and probably should be read with...
