I now know that on April 14, 1899, L.S.U. faced down Texas in baseball. The final score was Texas 8, L.S.U. 6. I know this because while weeding my section in the library, I came across an old botany textbook, and doodling in one's textbook was apparently just as common in 1899 as it is today. Mr. Quin has also informed me that his schedule Spring session 1899 is as follows:

Monday 1st hour Recitation
Wednesday 1st hour Recitation
Friday 1st hour Recitation
Tuesday 1st hour Lecture
Tuesday 3rd and 4th hour Laboratory
Thursday 1st hour Lecture
Thursday 3rd and 4th hour Laboratory
Friday 6th and 7th hour Field Work

He was also apparently to omit section XI of the book from his homework. He is fond of underlining important points, checking off areas studied, and placing 'x's next to parts that won't be on the test.

Making little discoveries like this is one of the reasons I love this job. Now to send this book over to Special Collections.
