The chaotic condition of the library remained from July to September, as students combated congested aisles and dis- combobulated books.

The smell of barbeques perme- ated the air on Friday afternoons. In June, elderly Citizens, babies and housewives sud- denly became visible. Oxford families and professors strolling through uptown were common sights on summer evenings. By September, the townspeople had re- ceded into the background and the students took over.
