Yes, Jeremy Bentham's preserved body was taken into meetings at University College London (UCL) after his death in 1832. His remains were encased in a wooden cabinet and displayed in the college's meeting room, where he was symbolically represented as a form of attendance at meetings. This practice was part of Bentham's philosophical views on utilitarianism, emphasizing the importance of his ideas even posthumously.
