Late 19th century american college slang
Hello - I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a good source book for American college slang, Ivy League specifically, from the 19th century. I realize this sounds rather specific, but I'm writing a piece set at that place and time and really need some help.
Thanks for your help.
