That is apocryphal.
Also not true, since at the time the term was coined all of the institutions had
been in existence for quite some time.

The term comes entirely from the ivy covered walls of the old English style

After fumbling with the pedals, getting saddle
sores from a too-small seat, and struggling

first place.
