Merger proposal

[edit]

Reason to merge: Student Rags includes the same topic as this article, sometimes with more detail. There is no valid reason to have two articles that describe the same thing. Truthanado (talk) 15:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems fair enough to me. Stefanjcarney 15:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed per Stefanjcarney's comment. — E talkBAG 04:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The merger has been completed. Truthanado (talk) 00:10, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bentham

[edit]

I've removed all reference to Bentham being one of the 'founders' of UCL (he wasn't). I've also deleted the section which claims that KCL students used Bentham's mummified head as a football - this is another of the big Bentham myths. The head is extremely fragile - hairs fall out of it whenever it's moved even slightly, and it would disintegrate following any kind of impact.

Hope that's all okay!
