Bowell

book, Hogfather, page 181, concerning the location of the building feature known as Archchancellor Bowell's rememberance.

This is described as a small circular hall, vestibule, with an outer door with a hatch and has a raftered ceiling.

This poses a question: where in the Unseen University cut-out book[1] is that hall? The implication is that as with features from later books that have had to be manually added to The Streets of Ankh-Morpork such as the Lady Sybil Free Hospital, this was conceived later than the design of the cut-out-and-assemble Unseen University.

Hogfather was published in 1997; the Cut-Out University (no code) was published in 2006. But we are told this is directly based on a far earlier creation, the original Clarecraft pottery model of the University whose cost and hernia-inducing qualities mandated a cheap, cheerful, and above all light-weight version. Bernard Pearson's version is not listed or priced on the website: but parellel constructions, such as the Guild of Assassins, were retailing at over £400 before selling out and also date from the late 1980's and early 1990's. So it is safe to assume Arch-chancellor Bowell's Remembrance was hiding in a potential niche of hyperspace when Bernard surveyed the university for the original model, and only chose to emerge in real time in 2006 with the publication of {{H]]. Just as the Mappe (pub. 1993) represents a city where, up until the publication of Night Watch in 2003, the Lady Sybil Free Hospital existed only in potentio.
