When I'm feeling particularly hopeless about the future of professoring as a profession, I try to remind myself: That's what they want. They want us to not want to be professors anymore.

Eye scans, licence plate readers, spyware: technology used to catch criminals and terrorists is being repurposed to fulfil Trump's pledge to deport 1mn undocumented migrants this year. Critics fear it’s the thin end of the authoritarian wedge.

A friend just gave me "The Mathematicians' Library" - early xmas gift. It's a beautiful looking tour of great books of mathematics from history. Lovely reproductions. Can't wait to properly read it.

Just to be extra clear. Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump DO NOT have the right to execute suspected drug runners. Even if we arrested them and they were found guilty, they would not be executed. Beware of Trump pardons to those who follow their illegal orders.

The late 1950s through children's imagination - pop culture, aspirations, tea and sudden death

The 'Lollard Children's Magazine', linked with the Lollard Street adventure playground, gave Lambeth kids a space to express themselves on the page #HistChild

mrc-describe.epexio.com/records/LAH/...
Page from 'Lollard Adventure Magazine', written by Lambeth children in the 1950s. It includes a drawing of a 'Teddy Boy' with accompanying text: "This is a real Teddy boy. There are lots of Teddy boys in Lambeth. I think they look smart. They have all sorts of styles in their hair. They are all stuck up, but quite stupid in their ways. I am never going to be a Teddy boy. David Jones." "Once a Teddy boy and a Teddy girl were walking along the road when they met each other and they said to each other, "Where are you going?" and they said, "I'm not going anywhere". Then the Teddy boy said, "Come to a dance at the Royal Log hotel". When they were there, they said, "Will you marry me?" So the next week they got married and they weren't a Teddy boy and Teddy girl any more because they liked to live ordanairy." "THE TEDDY BOY. Once there was a Teddy boy and he was a little shrimp but he could fight very good. He used to go and show off. One day he broke into a bank and took a thousand pounds. He was chased and caught and on the way he killed a man and he was caught and got hung. Leslie Presley." Page from 'Lollard Adventure Magazine', written by Lambeth children in the 1950s. It includes a drawing of five children doing the 'Six five hand jive' and text: "Rock 'n Roll. I'm crazy about Pat Boone, He just sends me like a balloon. Maureen Sullivan." "When I grow up I want to be a typist and type fast at the typewriter. I go to Walnut Tree Walk School. I want to get ten guineas from work and work over London somewhere. When I've got all that money I will spend it on clothes then take a holiday. Then I will spend the other that I have left. I will spend it for food and things. Carole Brookman." Page from 'Lollard Adventure Magazine', written by Lambeth children in the 1950s. It includes a drawing of the head of a 'Teddy Boy' with accompanying text: "The Teddy Boy. I saw a 'Teddy Boy' last night. His great big razor gave me a nasty fright. His turned-up velvet collar And his jutting out cigar Made him look like a villain His drain-pipe trousers And his awkward looking shoes Made me hurry away - Hurry, before he did chase me If he did choose. A. Pritchard." "My Birthday. My birthday was on Sunday And I am ten years old I have got six birthday cards And four birthday presents. A bucket bag, A tin of toffees, Seven and six, And a box of handerchiefs. But I did not have a party I could not have a party For my baby sister's illl. Anne Sweeny." "Rain Rain! Rain! Rain! Fall upon the house tops Fall upon the green grass Hang like beads On the flat leaves But don't rain on me please! Maureen Sullivan" Page from 'Lollard Adventure Magazine', written by Lambeth children in the 1950s. It includes a drawing of a country cottage in a field, with smoke coming out of the chimney, and accompanying text: "Trip to the country I went to Sevenoaks on Sunday to see some lady and I came home at 7 o'clock and I went at 3 o'clock and it was a nice day down there and I had tea with Mrs. Rook. Billy Long." "The Red Spotted Car One fine Spring day, a car drew into our village of Townsend. It was a bright yellow car with red spots on - quite an unusual car. It stopped outside our house and out stepped a queer looking little man. He got up onto the top of his car and started ringing a bell. Everyone came running out of their houses to see what was happening. When everyone was quiet, the little man began to speak. He said, "I wish to marry our Queen Caroline. If she refuses to marry me I will bring disaster to your town and everyone will be killed." Then he got down and back into his car and drove away."

Our inaugural Regius Professor of Mathematics, Andrew Wiles, retires in 2026 (not that mathematicians ever truly retire) and we are looking for his successor, starting in October of that year.
