Title	1900: Holland M. ("Howling Mad") Smith
Description	This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 68: Holland M. Smith disliked the dull military routine as an Auburn cadet about 1900. But he read everything the college's small library had to offer on Napoleon's tactics, learning principles that served him as well as Marine General "Howling Mad" Smith. He also was a prankster, Mike Jernigan wrote in the Alumnews. His favorite prank began by helping move an outhouse into the street at Toomer's Corner under cover of darkness. The cadets then took a human skeleton from a vet school lab and seated it in the outhouse. The next day, townspeople "who were curious enough to open the door were startled to see the skeleton leaning forward on the seat, a piece of paper in one hand and his chin in the other."
