My favorite Everett Collier story.

Some years ago when a certain college changed its name to a university, Mr. C apparently laid this one on two Ph. D. neighbors in the vicinity of Campus Drive-Campus View. He informed them that the former college-now-university had requested that the post office change the names of the two drives to something like "University Drive" and "University View."

After all, the university officially named the path leading to College Hall "University Drive." So, why not change Campus Drive and Campus View?
