Therefore, unless this document is presented in regular form, no man need feel obliged to admit anyone, save the college authorities. On the other hand, every man is at liberty to protect his room from intrusion in any way that may seem best. In truth, either a policeman's billy, hat, or belt make a much better wall decoration...
