Book excerpt: Excerpt from Decennial Record of the Class of 1896, Yale College There were five peas in a pod; they were green, and the pod was green, and so they thought the whole world was green, and they were perfectly right! And the weeks passed, and the peas grew yellow, and the pod grew yellow. The whole world is turning yellow! Said they, and they had a right to say that - Hans Christian Andersen, Five Peas in a Pod.
