Peer review: The writing on the (bathroom) wall

The writing on the (bathroom) wall: Since 2007 Quinn Dombrowski, AB’06, AM’06, has been documenting Regenstein Library graffiti. In November Dombrowski, emerging-technologies coordinator for the University’s NSIT Academic Technologies, self-published selections from her 700-plus photographs in Crescat Graffiti, Vita Excolatur: Confessions of the University of Chicago. The photo at right is from the B-level men’s room—“the geekiest place on earth,” writes Dombrowski on crescatgraffiti.com.
