The skeleton of Jeremy Bentham is present at all important meetings of the University of London. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham - As requested in his
will, Bentham's body was dissected as part of a public anatomy lecture. Afterward, the skeleton and head were preserved and stored in a wooden cabinet called the "Auto-icon", with the skeleton stuffed out with hay and dressed in Bentham's clothes. Originally kept by his disciple
Thomas Southwood Smith,
[31] it was acquired by
University College London in 1850. It is normally kept on public display at the end of the South Cloisters in the main building of the college, but for the 100th and 150th anniversaries of the college, it was brought to the meeting of the College Council, where it was listed as "present but not voting".
