AT DePAUW UNIVERSITY
The school is named after it's founder, Adam Webb, whose completely illogical analogies astounded the entire university. Though he was only a freshman, Adam Webb heavily influenced the thinking of everyone from fellow freshmen, to upperclassmen, to professors. Within a matter of weeks, the entire campus was beginning to say things that were nonsensical.
While most schools honor their top ten graduates, the Adam Webb School of Analogies does something different. So, to begin a tradition, here are the "Adam Webb School of Analogies Top Ten Analogies of the Year".
