For a period during the 1920s, there was a faddish craze in which college songs were recorded frequently, partly in hopes of widening the audience for hot dance music. This 1996 sampler CD has 18 examples of tunes geared toward that potential market. There are selections by George Olsen &His Music (best known is his hit "Varsity Drag"), the early Kay Kyser, Ted Weems, Charles Dornberger, Jesse Stafford, the Six Jumping Jacks, Irving Mills' Modernists, Hal Kemp, Harry Reser's Syncopators, Gene Kardos and Johnny Davis.
