Regarding the plaque in memory of Dr Mantell (Letters, August 8), the building was once the business school part of Clark's College.

If I remember correctly, his full name was either Algernon Gideon Mantell or Gideon Aglernon.

For some reason, having attended the school between 1947 and 1949, his name has always stuck in my mind.

It was a hotel and I am not sure if it still is but dances were held in the basement at one time in the late Fifties.
