Here in the Catalog Dept. of Moody Library, Baylor University, we have had some odd things going on for years--tables being moved overnight, typewriters being moved, materials on desks being moved, the online system doing weird & strange things, papers disappearing and then mysteriously reappearing days later.

We jokingly blame it on Uncle Miltie. Miltie was a big-time donor to the university, and after he died and was cremated, his family donated the money for a small garden area which we can see through the library windows, just outside the Catalog Dept. It's very nice, with benches, wisteria vines trailing from brick posts which have inscriptions from the classics inscribed in marble.

Miltie's ashes are also buried in the area, under a bronze marker, a fact that many students who have picnic lunches in the garden don't seem to realize. We blame everything that goes wrong in the Catalog Dept. on poor Uncle, and the screensaver on our dept. Mac displays messages supposedly from him. What can I say--we're easily entertained.
