- Summary:
- An unknown person, perhaps an employee, devised six images on selected window-panes in the 4th floor stacks. These panes were originally painted to keep out light. The "artist" used some sort of instrument (maybe even just a finger) to make humourous carcicatures and cartoon figures on four of the windows--and abstracts for the remaining two.
