Originally an expression used by British Army Intelligence during WWII, then adopted as a motto by U.S. Army personnel, this mid-20th century sign hand-painted with a mock Latin inscription translates to “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.” It was later adopted for an unofficial school fight song, “Ten Thousand Men of Harvard” at Harvard University in 1953.
