As a matter of fact, the banner of propriety might fly higher if activity were confined to students' rooms. Anyone who has left Cronin's at eleven-thirty and driven along Storrow Drive to Wellesley would almost certainly suspect that the best interests of propriety might be served by allowing students to remain in their rooms...
