In this post she says grades were invented at yale.

"In order to inspire obedience and competition amongst students, and to save time and money, holistic written evaluations were scrapped in favor of linearly ranked evaluation. And those impersonal, maddeningly un-calibrated and mind-numbing grades, 4.0, ABCD, grades…WERE INVENTED AT YALE.
