When I passed the entrance to Highfields this morning, I noticed that there were some workmen moving about the pedestal belonging to the bust of Jesse Boot, which was vandalised some time ago during a demonstration about student grants.
And yes, cycling home tonight, I saw that old Jesse was back, keeping guard over the university, which he paid for back in the 1920s.
Its nice to think that he's back in his rightful place.
