Abstract:
Manning explores the reasons why colleges and universities across the nation often carry on the same traditions within their social structure, including inauguration ceremonies of presidents and chancellors, establishing days which recognize the founding of the institution and myth-making behind the founding itself, and how types of behaviors (protests, initiation rites, honors ceremonies, religious displays) are similarly conducted.
