Rinehart (Harvard)

The cry of Rinehart! (more fully Oh, R-i-i-i-n-e-HART!) 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 (1875-1954; Harvard class of 1900). 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" (music by Tab Smith), recorded in 1941 by Count Basie and included on the compilation The Count Basie Story, Disc 3 - Harvard Blues (2001, Proper Records).

Rinehart & Company

Rinehart & Company, an American publishing company, was the successor to Farrar & Rinehart, Inc. In 1946, following the departure of John C. Farrar, the company was renamed Rinehart & Company. The brothers Stanley M. Rinehart, Jr. and Frederick R. Rinehart continued to operate the company until its merger with Henry Holt and Company and the John C. Winston Company in 1960, to form Holt, Rinehart and Winston. The Rinehart brothers were the sons of the famed mystery writer, Mary Roberts Rinehart, whose books were published by the company. Indeed, Rinehart had supported her sons by leaving Doubleday, Doran when they (with Farrar) established Farrar & Rinehart in 1929; her bestselling mysteries were a mainstay of the new imprint.
