Title

Photograph, Beds in a dorm room, December 1925

Description

This photo from the President's report to the Board of Visitors at the January 28, 1926, meeting, illustrates the dire need for dormitories on campus. By 1925, four students shared a 13 ft. x 15 ft. dorm room, and to make floor space they tied their four beds together into a single bunk. The student on top was too close to the ceiling to sit up and had to roll out of the bunk to get down.
