I guess that means you were in college in 1951 or earlier, because it's been called Murphy's Law at least that long, and possibly a lot longer.
Let's see, if you started college at age 18 in 1951, you're 82 now, right?
Of course, as humor the idea was stale and trite at least as early as 1880; but it's possible (by no means certain) that it was first called
Murphy's law in 1951 at the latest. That is to say, certainly by 1951 by hard evidence, and possibly earlier.
