The lid isn ' t removed when a fellow gets off to college and becomes, to a degree probably greater than ever before, seli-dependent. Yet the necessary removal of some of the external sanctions which previously limited his sphere of activity may make that lid seem very, very light. W ithout doubt the most difficult problem confronting the proctor of a dormitory — any dorm for that matter, but especially of a men ' s — is to get the inhabitants of that dormitory to do as Dr. Shettel ' s Greeks did: to enter into life with the lid on.
