Bulldogs were not the only animals featured at the opening of the Yale University tercentennial year on October 21. Open House visitors were among the first to see Connecticut artist Zora Janosova's "Cow-to Book," a cheerful and bookish example of public art recently acquired by the Yale Library at a charity auction and presented to the University as a decidedly lighthearted tercentennial gift. In its first venue, "Cow-to Book" was seen on Hewitt Quadrangle near the entrance to the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Following the tercentennial open house weekend, "Cow-to Book" was moved to Sterling Memorial Library's Selin Courtyard, and library and University representatives envision that the fiberglass figure will move to other campus and New Haven venues periodically.
