Erik Larson
“I went to Harvard for examination with two men not as well prepared as I. Both passed easily, and I flunked, having sat through two or three examinations without being able to write a word.'

The same happened at Yale, Both schools turned him down. He never forgot it.”
Erik Larson, The Devil in the White City
