Description by OLDIES.com:
The Freshman was Harold Lloyd's most financially successful movie during the silent era, and would be one of the few of his films to still be available after he pulled most of them from circulation following the advent of sound. It started a craze for "college movies" that lasted for the rest of the 1920s. (Not to be outdone, Buster Keaton did his own, 1927's College.) The football scenes were later reused by director Preston Sturges in his pseudo-sequel The Sin of Harold Diddlebock (1947), which turned out to be Lloyd's last picture. This film has no connection to the later The Freshman (1990) with Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando, though it does bear striking similarities to the Adam Sandler-starring The Waterboy (1998), leading to a lawsuit in the year 2000.
BONUS: The Relay (1927): The Freshman inspired a series of two-reel campus comedies from Universal called The Collegians, most of which were filled with risque humor. In The Relay, resentment builds on campus when the freshman girls beat the sophomores in the big relay. At the big dance, tension between the classes erupts into an all-out melee that won't end until nubile young coeds are hurled into swimming pools!
