The Great Monkey Capture of 1976

On a day in February 1976 the exciting news spread across the campus that a mother monkey and her infant had escaped from the Memphis Zoo and had taken refuge on the roof of the Burrow Library.   How they got out of their cage and across a busy Memphis road is still a mystery.
