And your last point does prove that campus media do have to be even more careful with what they write, especially Nouse (as Vision don't have a website and The Yorker are far too timid to say anything that might offend or interest anyone...). Good article this one!

At least our websites are here to serve as an archive medium for future generations, isnt that lyrical?

I never did it by hand because it seemed so tedious :P Anon, the point is that after time there is no memory any more in the community, leaving only history.

Doing them manually was a bit tedious but I'm pretty sure it took half an hour max so I'm not sure what those few hours were spent doing!!! I did ask the Borthwick about old copies of nouse a few years ago - I think I was told at the time that they might be too fragile to scan. Would be fantastic if you could get some of them up here though.. I’m jealous of your Python scripting – certainly seems handy for the PDF archives.
