This situation comedy was highly 6ucces5ful on Broadway and was also made into a movie. The Male Animal is a farce and not a problem play or a play of social criticism. It touches on two perennial problems of American colleges�the proper place of ath-letics in college life and the more serious matter of academic free-dom. It also brings out a problem of perhaps even greater concern� the continuing adolescence of the college-bred American long after his college days.
