As a result, two men may still "inhabit" a room in Stoughton or Hollis, or four men in two connecting rooms. That is, four men share study and a bedroom together. On the other hand, the same space divided into a study and two bedrooms, on of them often large enough to be classed as "double", must, in the other Yard dormitories, be occupied by not more than two students. These suites, with their separate sleeping quarters...
