Gallaudet University is a school in Washington, D.C. dedicated to the educational needs of deaf students. The appropriately-named blog Library Shenanigans described a vicious and cruel prank played on the beleaguered library staff in January of 1940.
During the night, a cabal of hardened student criminals penetrated the library's security and turned every book around so that the spines faced inward. The above photo from the university's archives shows students examining the wreckage of their library before setting it to right by reversing the books.
Now, 85 years later, the criminals must have long since descended to their graves and to pay for transgressions in an eternal torrent of brimstone-scented shushings.
