Sir John Minnes, both Sir Williams and I to the Trinity House, where we had at dinner a couple of venison pasties, of which I eat but little, being almost cloyed, having been at five pasties in three days.
Ratty, the charming water vole from Wind in the Willows, has been in deep trouble for decades.
But now, thanks to UK wildlife trusts, this riverside resident is making a hopeful comeback.

Call for Papers: extended deadline for conference: Discipline and Punish: The Early Modern University Court in Theory and Practice. Abstracts due by 30 June. For more information, see: malcontents.hcommons.org/conference/
The internal jurisdictional autonomy of early modern universities represented a significant inheritance from the medieval instruments of academic freedom. The rise of the territorial university as a model curtailed the independence of these institutions rendering them more directly subject to external political actors, a situation that became more pronounced as a consequence of the Reformation. Despite these transformations, the university’s powers of internal oversight and control of its members remained relatively intact. These powers were set out, instituted and sanctioned in charters, statutes and ordinances. The principal instrument through which the powers were asserted was the academic jurisdiction, i.e. the university court. At one level, these arrangements protected university members, ensuring their protection to a certain extent from external legal threat. However, in adhering to the university jurisdiction, the members submitted themselves to its regulating influence. In this forum, students, professors and the cives academici could be arraigned, prosecuted and sanctioned for minor or major acts of deviancy. Thus, the university court and other instruments of institutional authority could play a central role in the disciplining of university members, defining the parameters of and enforcing normative behaviours. This conference seeks to explore the characteristics of these jurisdictional regimes in the early modern period. Paper proposals that address the following themes are especially welcome: The legal and administrative frameworks of discipline at early modern universities The characteristics of university courts Social disciplining and the normative functions of university courts The pursuit of personal vendettas and factional strife through the instruments of university jurisdiction The limits and limitations of academic disciplinary regimes Subversions of academic jurisdiction
