That is a fantastic find!
I suppose you wouldn't want to put that on 2-hour reserve so my students can paw at it. How can I use this in a class?
According to ">this website, recently a copy of this paper sold at auction for $2000.

Oh my goodness... look halfway down the article on the far right. Looks like there was a lot of pressure in the newsroom that day.

It's frightening how happy that makes me, haha. I cringe in horror when I find mistakes that missed my radar after publication in The Setonian. Granted, technology has come light years since then, but it's nice to know that every publication has slip-ups.

And on second thought, it'd be great to have to opportunity to pick through such forgotten boxes. I think the finds would make for an interesting editorial.

Sounds like a great idea, Stormy.

This is an awesome discovery! Thanks for the super large JPG, too. It was fun to comb over this massive blunder.

Wow, I know I'm a little late commenting on this, but that's awesome. Love the upside down text!
I wonder what other cool things are hidden in the library... I hope you'll share more as you find them!
