From the October 14, 1998 of the Argus:
OH, thank you, thank you, dear initiator (chicken or human)!
I am so delighted, so thoroughly, thoroughly pleased, with a perfect arrangement of eggs upon the steps of our beloved library, Olin, (slip and fall, drop to your knees!) where we walk up and down with scholarly books, but tonight we had to stop and look! To stop and look! A surprise, a fragile, prophetic surprise … Eggs! In a square on the stairs! For whom, from where? And the students asked, ‘what does it mean? Did you put these here?’ and searched for signs. And searched for signs. One scrutinized a blurb about Columbus Day, which, I’m disturbed to say, would blend into the rest if not for this brilliant test! Be bold, friends, behold: A whole network comprised of surprise, interrupting familiar brick and concrete assemblages with color and shape and a mischievous wink, to make us think! To make us think!
