But by no stretch of the imagination will Dudley be a real House, for it is so selected and constructed that parochialism must be its greatest common denominator. The name "House" is merely a device to conceal the fact that there will be a change in privileges but no change in relation to the rest of the College...

To make matters worse, the shades are drawn presumabaly to prevent the exhibits from fading...
