This is Kathy, who belonged to the family of Carl Wischmeyer, EE professor and first master of Baker:
Many thanks to Mary Grace Wischmeyer Hamill for the great photo.
Kathy was the first dog to live in Baker House but here she sits at her desk in Abercrombie. I don’t think they let her teach; probably only graded papers.
Bonus: Good. Grief. It’s contagious.
That’s a beautiful dog.
On the subject of dogs, have you ever written about Sobie?
Hmmmm. I’m not acquainted with Sobie. Please tell me more.
This was in the mid 60’s and I believe Sobie resided in Weiss. He had an entry in the 1967 (?) student directory. Sobie was a diminutive of Son-of-a-Birch. Well, I didn’t want to be obscene.
“Bonus: Good. Grief. It’s contagious.” Maybe a visiting acting troupe performing “The Leaning Italian Cypresses of Rice”? (Drat! I wish I’d learned Italian…)
Was Kathy left pawed?
If so, the inkstand was placed on the wrong side.
Does anyone else detect that look in her eyes that says, “Good grief, why do humans make us take these idiotic pictures?)
?” NOT ?)
