Summary

Miskatonic University is a small, seemingly typical New England college nestled in the bosom of conservative Arkham, Massachusetts. A poor cousin to such hallowed institutions as Harvard, Brown, and Princeton, Miskatonic nonetheless offers coveted degrees in a wide variety of subjects and boasts high academic standards.
