Taking their cut from the late Phineas T. Barnum, the Maintenance Department men have painted, in large white letters on the new exits from Sever Hall, "Emergency Egress Only." It was Barnum who, when he wanted to clear his famed American Museum, put a sign reading "To the Egress," over a door to the street, and the local citizenry, eager to see the new curiosity, soon found themselves out of the museum, leaving room for more to enter.
Over in Harvard Hall, they have reduced the whole matter to much simpler terms by just painting on the doors leading to the new back exit, signs which say "Please leave the class room by this door."
