The Great Wall of Reference
Steve and Tim were at it again today… Who knows what tomorrow will hold?
Think That Elk’s Had Enough?
Some may argue that Tycho Brahe wasn’t such a colorful guy: Danish astronomer (but there were probably many of those), nose cut off in a sword fight and replaced by a silver and gold prosthetic (things happen), possibly poisoned by his assistant (certainly had the means and the opportunity). But did you know he had a clairvoyant dwarf jester and a beer-swilling elk? (either of which would be an excellent name for a rock group)
An article in the November 30th New York Times suggests a feature film may be in order. Read Murder! Intrigue! Astronomers? And, of course, the Mudd has scads of books about Tycho.

Summer in the Mudd
I hope you’ve been over to the library and noticed some of the fancy news screens developed by our fabulous circulation staff. If not — or even if you have, and you want to relive the magic — here’s a Flickr slideshow of some of our greatest hits…
Public Art resource guide
If you attended the recent Summer Seminar on Public Art: Process and History — or even if you’re just interested in the topic — your friends at the Mudd have developed a handy Public Art resource guide.
Lots of useful links to images, public art resources, books, and articles.
More canine fun
Another fun-filled Canine Therapy event occurred on Monday, June 7 at the Mudd. Seven dogs and several dozen students bonded, romped, and relaxed during Finals week at Lawrence.
One happy student: “I love this event! Love it! Love it! Love it!”
One happy dog: “Woof!”
