1806

 

FROM the Yale Alumni Magazine, we have proof that the good old days were never as good as they seem: 

A full-scale riot, the first of many fought with fists, clubs, and knives, breaks out between off-duty sailors and Yale students. Townspeople refer to the leader of the Yale mob, Guy Richards, as the “College bully.” Soon thereafter, students turn the title into an elected undergraduate position until it is outlawed by the faculty in 1840. (See also: 1841, 1854, 1858, 1919 and 1959.)
