rine·hart

The cry of Rinehart! was a meme of Harvard University student and alumni culture in the early decades of the 20th Century. The cry references an unknown undergraduate's call, from ground to dormitory window, for John Bryce Gordon Rinehart. His cry of "Oh, R-i-i-i-n-e-HART!" drifting across Harvard Yard was inexplicably and spontaneously taken up by hundreds of students and echoed from the open windows of dormitories surrounding the quadrangle. This occurred on June 11, 1900. For the next forty years or so, cries of "Oh, R-i-i-i-n-e-HART!". described as "Harvard's rebel yell" could be heard at random times and around the world, wherever Harvard men traveled or congregated, sometimes signalling the start of merry revelry. John Barrymore mentioned the "Rinehart!" cry in the 1939 movie The Great Man Votes. The call was included by journalist George Frazier in his 1932 song "Harvard Blues", recorded in 1941 by Count Basie and included on the compilation The Count Basie Story, Disc 3 - Harvard Blues. Thomas Pynchon describes the cry in Against the Day:
