	[[Image:Stphil-2.jpg\|thumb\|Saint Phil lazing on a snowy day]] Saint Phil's story begins when he was student at Brandeis and Goldfarb Library was much younger (though this has little significance to the story).		[[Image:Stphil-2.jpg\|thumb\|Saint Phil lazing on a snowy day]] Saint Phil's story begins when he was student at Brandeis and Goldfarb Library was much younger (though this has little significance to the story).

	Actually, it begins 20 years before that, in the ghettos of Worcester where Phil grew up, the offspring of countless generations of exterminators on both sides of the family. When he was but a wee lad, there wasn't a household pest Phil couldn't defeat; even by the time he was in the 6th grade, he had depestified not only his school and all his friends' ~~houses--not~~ a bug or rodent dared enter any place he'd been!		Actually, it begins 20 years before that, in the ghettos of Worcester where Phil grew up, the offspring of countless generations of exterminators on both sides of the family. When he was but a wee lad, there wasn't a household pest Phil couldn't defeat; even by the time he was in the 6th grade, he had depestified not only his school and all his friends' houses—not a bug or rodent dared enter any place he'd been!

	By the time Phil got to Brandeis, he'd had experience with hundreds of species of insects and rodents. Not a day after he'd been on campus, he heard from his room in North Quad ominous rumours of pests coming from the direction of East Quad. He talked with all his friends about it, and they were really excited that they could count an exterminator among their fellow students. But alas, Phil was soon loaded down with homework and papers from his UWS and USEM classes (not to mention Syntax and Chem lab!), and never got a chance to get over to East to check it out.

	It is said that that very afternoon, on the one-day anniversary of Philina's death, Phil unsolidified himself from his awkward chemical-dropping position, and went all across Brandeis squashing east bugs. Later that evening, on the one-day anniversary of having become a statue, it is thought that Saint Phil returned to the library, and lay down in a reclined position in the spot where he had stood the night before.

	And so, with Saint Phil of Worcester being encased in copper by the library, immortalised for generations of Brandeis students to remember him, we celebrate the anniversary his story of woe and tragedy on March 18th every year, and on March 19th, we celebrate his victory over the east bugs.
