Slight antedating of "crew(hair)cut" (1935)

[Fred Shapiro]

Here's a pre-Gertrude Stein citation:

1932 _Harvard Crimson_ 30 Nov. (Crimson online archives)  Today, three men
enter the portal. One is elderly, white, and bent with age, one is a man
in his fifties, the third is an undergraduate with crew haircut.
