Dorm life between 1965 and 1972
I would love to know more about the dorm life of people who were here between 1965 and 1972 or so. In doing research for this exhibit, it seemed to me that dormitory life must have changed more during the decade between 1965 and 1975 than it did for several decades before and after. I'm thinking in terms of standards of dress at meals and formality of meals, as well as things like how laundry got done or parietal rules. It must have been very interesting to be living on campus during a time when so many things were changing!
(We have a page in our Dormlife exhibit about dormitory rules.)

I had a lead brick (courtesy of physics lab (still have it!)) with a knob stuck on the front and a razor cord leading from it. I don't remember if I had a pan on it. But there was a hotplate hidden in my closet for use on the weekends.
