Sophomores created the Freshman Grind as an alternative to the Freshman Handbook, published by the Smith College Association for Christian Work. In the slang of the day, a grind meant to poke fun at someone. As this (and other grinds in our collection) publication suggests, first year students (Freshman-a, pg5) bore the brunt of many upper class jokes. This is the grind presented to the Class of 1918, as they entered college. [Class of 1918 records, Freshman Grind folder, Box 1907]
