#1: Student napping at Main Library, 1971

We dare you to look at any of these photos and deny that you’ve ever struck one of these poses when studying at the Libraries. It’s Winter quarter, and even with the practically balmy weather we’re having, it’s hard to stay awake at all, much less while studying at the library.

These images are of a few former students who clearly have felt your pain. And with these photos we kick off a new feature called “Buckeye-D,” through which we hope to identify more of the people, places and happenings at OSU that have remained so far unidentified in our photographic collections.

The photos we’ve posted today are merely to get your attention about the feature, but our main goal is to get your help in putting names to faces, as it were. If you can identify any of the people in this post – and in future posts – please send a message to: archives@osu.edu  Be sure to tell us which numbered photo you are identifying.

And thanks for your help!
