The earliest the saying goes is :
(Darwin 1959:46). He was also joining his older brother who was already immersed in medical studies. Darwin agreed to give it the "old college try" for a time but he again became bored, disgusted, and revolted. Darwin, a sensitive and loving spirit, was not prepared for the bloody horrors of nineteenth century medicine.

Maybe from the old black and white movies from the 40's and 50's! I have heard that term said in those movies! I have heard Mickey Rooney's character say that in some of the movies he was in!! No, I'm not old!! I just like watching black and whites...we could learn alot from them...!!!
