Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Plastic Age" by Percy Marks is a novel published in 1924 that follows Hugh Carver, a student navigating life at the fictional Sanford College. The book depicts 1920s campus culture, including hazing, drinking, parties, and romantic relationships. Its controversial content made it a bestseller and got it banned in Boston, while also costing Marks his teaching position at Brown University. The novel offers a revealing composite of Jazz Age college life drawn from traditions at Dartmouth and Brown.
