Glee Club in the 1905 Corks and Curls
Corks and Curls was the yearbook of the University of Virginia from 1888 through 2008. The name was explained as having come straight from late 19th-century speech:
The student who flagrantly failed to reply correctly to the questions of his professor in the classroom was said to have been ‘corked’ … if he answered with a grand flourish of pertinent information, he was said to have ‘curled.’[1]
