I don’t know if way before me, but when I was there they had activities there. I took golf and fencing there, and social dancing. And the walls had murals of college girls dancing on the midway in chiffon. Mother was one of them according to her stories. Oh, and ping pong tables. WONDERFUL architecture.

Our dorm was called New Dorms, built by Eero Saarinen. Next to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House. I later worked in another Saarinen building. Our bedroom lamp was the lab’s cafeteria table lamp.
