Humor means, if anything, an irrepressible, sensitiveness to incongruities, and contradictions in things, unspirited, be it added, by any immediate desire to correct them. Its expression is a revelation to itself, a, sudden unexpected sparkle and flash refracted from some absurdity. College humor, moreover, should be provincial...
