Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 60: May, 1895 Spectacles and an armful of text-books should not to-day imply that the owner knows but the well trodden path from study room to lecture hall. That the grind, as such, is a butt for ridicule is a Yale myth that needs exploding quite as much as that Yale ever owned the Hillhouse property - and well for the grind could he realize it, and leave his books long enough to jostle up against his classmates! Then, when he has crept out of his shell and basks in the same warm sunshine, he will cease to be a college misfit.
