Not totally OT I hope but I've been hunting for a quotation, possibly from a film. Scene: an opium den. Hero(?) looks behind a bead curtain at a near-corpse and speaks: "That an Englishman could sink so low, and a Balliol man at that!"

No success via Google and I haven't yet dared to ask the college office!

... sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story. Might be The Man with the Twisted Lip? Or again, I recall scenes in opium dens in Edwin Drood and The Picture of Dorian Gray...

Or maybe Confessions of an Opium Eater? Vincent Price played de Quincey (atlthough he was a Brasenose man...).
