The UW student newspaper, The Daily, posted an article today about an overdue library book.  Ralph Day Major checked out Antigone by Sophocles; it was due back to the Suzzallo Library on 5 March, 1909.  Overdue by exactly 100 years, it was returned to the library yesterday by Ralph's great-niece, Katie Dale.

The library waived the $18,000 late fee.
