A skeleton is present at meetings of the University of London

Even though he died in 1832, philosopher and man-of-letters Jeremy Bentham still attends meetings at the London University. A box containing his skeleton, adorned with a wax head and his clothes is wheeled out at important council meetings. He is noted in the minutes as “present but not voting.”
