The registrar is a man who works at Yale University; his job is to enroll accepted students in the classes they want to take. When Benjamin meets with the registrar in order to do this, though, the registrar refuses to believe he’s 18. Calling him a “dangerous lunatic” because he thinks Benjamin is a middle-aged man posing as a college freshman, the registrar kicks Benjamin out of his office and makes it clear that he’s not welcome at Yale.

Men ran hatless out of classes, the football team abandoned its practice and joined the mob, professors’ wives with bonnets awry and bustles out of position, ran shouting after the procession, from which proceeded a continual succession of remarks aimed at the tender sensibilities of Benjamin Button.
