1966 - GE College Bowl - Part 3 of 3

Always watch this program when I was a kid.
Remember Kevin Bacons scene in Diner watching College Bowl.

The study of Western Civilization is considered passe now, that's why few students could answer these questions today, English Lit and History have given way to useless politically correct garbage.

actually, college quiz bowls still ask lit and history questions. what people are able to answer simply depends on what they know and how well they remember it.

Actually, as someone who participated in College Bowl, these questions are for the most part considerably easier than nowadays. These are closer to high school academic bowl difficulty.

LOL at 4:36..."Who first postulated the parallel postulate?"

B*tch slap 'em ladies. This is why I love the South and can't stand the smug, provincial, bastard Yankees who ar just so sure their poop doesn't stink. Worked with them all my life,never could stand that dog...THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting them in their place.

15 points is hardly a decisive victory. How sexist and racist your rant is.

Congrats to the ladies (not girls!) from Agnes Scott, but Princeton got hosed in the first part ..... the answer explaining the speed of sound should have been as acceptable as the one given. Of course, Princeton should not have answered so quickly with the narrow lead and time running out.

Wonder if this partly inspired SCTV's "High Q" parodies with Eugene Levy as a particularly ill-tempered "Alex Trebel."

The person who answered the last question is blind.
