to become a student here?

He says he has a thirst for knowledge.

And he wants to quench it

in our swimming pool.

Caroline, will you take care of this matter

while we continue with the meeting?

But Dean Clinton, wouldn't you rather...

I mean, wouldn't you...

No, dear, no. You take charge of it.

Just act the way you say I act,

when I'm not around to hear you say it.

Miss Caroline, I can't figure out

how he ever got past me.

He must've climbed over the wall.

Shall I throw him out?

No, no, you wait out in the hall.

I'll call you if he gets violent.

Yes.

- Caroline.

- I'm Miss Brooks.

I understand you wish

to enroll in Victoria College, Mr...

Elliott. Steven Elliott.

The husband of the same name.

You're not gonna be anybody's husband

pretty soon, you Casanova, you.

- I've started annulment proceedings.

- Oh, no, Caroline.

You can't. I'm innocent, believe me.

I was standing there

getting married, and...

- Oh, Caroline, you've gotta trust me.

- Trust you?

How can I trust you?

You redheaded bluebeard, you.

Oh, I'm not a blueheaded redbeard...

I mean, a...

Evidently you're not aware of it,

but this is a girls' school.

Evidently you're not aware of it,

Miss Brooks...

...but this is a girls' school for boys.

It says so in the charter.

Page 10, Section Six.

Of course, if you were to drop

the annulment proceedings...

...I might be persuaded not to enter.

You wait right here,

you blackmailer, you.

He claims this is

a coeducational institution.

That men and women are permitted.

He says it's in the charter.

Of course he's wrong?

- Unfortunately, he's right.

- What?

I was under the impression

our charter had been altered.

Lawyers have been working

on the matter.

At the moment,

a man is legally entitled to enroll here.

- Why... I've never heard.

- There's just one thing to do.

Have the fellow investigated.

- Oh, I don't think we ought to do that.

- Why not?

Well, think of the publicity.

Caroline is right. Victoria is noted

for its cloistered atmosphere.

Our students come

from the finest families.

Publicity of this sort

would be embarrassing.

Yes, that's right.

He must be gotten rid of

quickly and quietly.

- Yes, but how?

- Oh, that's very simple.

Each new student

is on two weeks' probation.

If during that period she or he acquires

a sufficient number of demerits...

...out she or he goes.

- Good.

- Yes.

Yes, now, if we all cooperate,

he should be out of here in no time.

Good.

Well, Steve, you get your wish.

- You mean you'll cancel the annulment?

- No, I mean we accept your application.

All right. Bring on the enrollment blank,

pencil sharpener and my roommate.

Oh, may I carry that for you?
