A few years ago, someone left threatening/creepy notes in student mailboxes for an Art project.
My money is on Computer Science this time. The note sounds like Java.

I have found this scrap of paper beneath my milk bottles this am.
I shall stop drinking milk immediately!
I know the writer to have been educated at several famous Universitys in various disciplines including religion. He is, indeed, a man of the cloth and a Dean of a well-known Cathedral!
I shall stop reading and church-going immediately!
The scrap:
“I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I
hope will not be liable to the least objection.
“I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance
in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year
old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether
stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it
will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust.
“A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.”
Question closely the Milkman and the horse he came in on!
