For a glimpse into university life in the late 19th century, this complaint letter from May 26 1893 from the Brighton School of Art archive. Needless to say campus life in Brighton has come a long way since then!
A typed letter that reads, 'May 26 1893, Dear Sir, I have if you will remember complained more than once of the great nuisance caused by the childrens playing on the school steps, & throwing rubbish, dead cats & fish etc. down the front area: the caretaker has just called my attention again to the state of the area; there are at present six heads of mack[erel] with a quantity of other fish refuse on the ground together with a rotten herring on one of the window panes, & a quantity of entrails hanging from the brickwork of the other win[dow]. Cannot this state of things, constantly re curring be put an end to? or would it be advisable [to] write to the Watch Committee about the same. Yours faithfully

A round robot sitting in front of a laptop so only its eyes are visible peering over the side of the desk on which the laptop rests. It's stretching its slender, jointed arms up and cracking its knuckles in preperation. The Small Robots Remastered logo in the bottom left actually reads, "SMALL ROBOTS REM*******", as if it's a password partway through being typed. In the bottom right is text reading, "suggested by @theaardvark.bsky.social".

NASA are offering $3 million for anyone who comes up with an idea which will solve the problem of human poop in space. There are currently 96 bags of it littering The Moon. The mind boggles that the issue hasn’t had a resolution yet, what with the amounts of money involved in the program.
