Double-sided forms filled in by Mathematics and Physics students who had left secondary school less than a year earlier. Complete with attached passport photos and a host of questions that we are no longer allowed or willing to ask these days. That’s often how it is with archive material; it is not uncommon for it to be preserved by chance." |
