Probably a raccoon. I just poked around for more info about this, hasn't taken the world by storm, nice find! I *think* I had a Shakespeare class (I think I just needed an English credit) in the Ag building (Morrill Hall) a couple of doors down.
Hmm, not germane to the story, but the class was in Cook Hall, up the stairs, first door on the left, corner classroom, good fit for me, all the bldgs where I got my K-8 ed were older than me, one was older than my parents. :^)
Hmm, really not germane to the story, but the class probably was in Morrill Hall, since the one that now bears that name was constructed (sez here) in 2013. No wonder it wasn’t quite a visual match to my ancient memory of the place.
