Not a bad idea of Essex University's to pull 12 months of Bulletins into an omnibus volume. But it has its down side. Given the sort of photographs that appear in university newsletters, an entire year's sample taken at one go can make even a relatively self-effacing vice chancellor look as camera-hungry as Robert Maxwell. Departing v-c Ron Johnston appears nine times, and there are two shots of his acting stand-in Ivor Crewe.
