Someday We'll Look Back

The ACL discussion list has had a few anecdotes about mischief in a library as a result of a posting at another library. Now toilet papering a library is tame stuff. I can tell stories, like pigs in the library or plastic frogs stuck all over the place, but I won't. In almost every college some alum gets up at a meeting and recounts similar incidents much to the delight of his fellow classmates. No one talks about the problems with cleanup or the inconvenience to the other students at the time (usually Finals Week). Maybe if these students become successful alumni and contribute to the school, we will have had the last laugh.
