  • The basic idea for Federal Express was submitted as a term paper at Yale... and only got a C.

  • Campus pundits Porn ‘n Chicken (a club devoted to watching pornography and eating fried chicken) made the first Ivy League pornographic film. The Staxxx is set in Sterling Memorial Library's Stacks (home to millions of dusty books) and has a cast comprised of Yale students.
