This comic strip, created by a woman professor at the University of Geneva, was addressed fictively to August Christoph Carl Vogt (1817-1895), the first rector of Geneva University and a defender of scientific positions claiming to demonstrate the inequality of the sexes and “human races”. Published in a local paper, it helped to revive and fuel debates about the celebration of controversial figures by academic institutions and in public space. J. J. Fall
