From the introduction: Hello. I take it you’re new? This is Miskatonic University, the most prestigious university devoted to occult science in the world and, oddly enough, one of the safest places on earth. You wouldn’t know it, what with entire departments being wiped out all at once, but trust me. The rest of the world is much worse, though some of the greater threats to mankind have been subdued. Of course, what with the nature of our prestigious university, new ones always have a chance of popping up once in a while. Ah, I see you have a scholarship. That’ll help you quite a bit here. Most normal people don’t tend to do well here, but I can tell already. You aren’t normal. Maybe more so than our other newcomer, Charlotte LeStrange, but not by much. Anyways, I’ll get this paperwork and you can be on your way.
