Some of the Universityβs most remarkable graduates β daring doctors, stellar scientists and international adventurers β never actually existed.
There is something about ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ that captures the imagination β or so it would seem given the many times the University finds itself mentioned in works of fiction.
βComing of ageβ stories, featuring young, university-aged adults fumbling their way through the world, have always held appeal, so thatβs probably part of the allure. The fact that so many ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ graduates go on to make their mark in the world of literature β βwrite what you know,β creative fiction teachers have long counselled β is likely another factor.
In any case, there is no shortage of fictitious ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ characters lining the shelves of bookstores. Authors as varied as Clark Blaise, Dany LaferriΓ¨re, Brian Moore, Kathy Reichs and William Weintraub, BAβ47, have incorporated ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ into their works. Heck, even Marvel Comics got in on the act β the hulking Canadian superhero Sasquatch once taught physics at ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ.
