"it's good to see that current generations do not have a lock on odd behavior. This poll from the 1898 version indicates that feeding robins or fondling kittens, seeing crazy people or boys wearing dresses were 2nd and third in rank in order of recollections. Now it's all on youtube!" comment from an Edinboro faculty member.
How about this, from the December 1898 issue of the Dial: "Several intelligent visitors who recently visited the library remarked that it was the finest Normal school library that they had seen anywhere in the state. We are all proud of our library, but we hope to see it still further improved during the year. We certainly do not need to take second place when our large, handsome and well equipped reading room is taken into account."
