Is there any non-ancedotal evidence of students of any university wearing them over knickerbockers? Plus fours aren't much different from normal trousers to begin with, and when you add the usual collegiate sweater and maybe a sport coat, there would be so many layers over the middle that no amount of looseness through the hips would hide it, particularly if they were tweed. Also, the blousing of the plus fours over the knee, even with the narrower styles of the '20s, would ruin the drape of the long trouser leg and be visible except with the 'comedy' ones Two Types mentioned.
