Perhaps not as big a story as "Man Bites Dog" but "Socrates Bites Coed" made the front page of the
Kentucky Kernel 50 years ago this month. Thankfully, student Mary Menge was not injured badly by the bite administered by UK President John Oswald's dog Socrates. There is absolutely no evidence that the dog bite at Maxwell Place hastened President Oswald's departure from the University. Neverthless, he resigned only two months later in April 1968.
