+ Archives peel away New College layers
Historical photos, student newspapers and old yearbooks: These are all thing you would expect to find in a college’s archives. A banana peel … not so much. But that’s exactly what has been safely tucked away in New College of Florida’s archives room for the last 40 years. The vintage fruit was so thoroughly enjoyed by a student that he decided to preserve the peel. A note on the banana reads: “This banana was reportedly left in archives around 1970. Dubious, but quite possibly true.” The note is signed, “Titus.”
