Fewer framed personal pictures and more posters of popular culture icons were a marked difference from earlier photographs of school dormitory rooms. However, the ubiquitous stuffed animal remains. No longer worrying about hanging things from the ceiling molding, these posters are attached with tape--which would have violated earlier rules, but allows for flat things like posters to be used for decoration.

A large doily, often referred to as a dresser scarf, covers the dresser on the right. Freshmen were advised to bring these for their own rooms, listed with other recommended things like a reading lamp and small rugs (also pictured), as they would find them “convenient.” [Quote from “Listen Freshman,” Booklet, ca. 1960s.] Subject The topic of the resource Madison College, students, residence hall Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived JMU Historic Photographs Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available James Madison University Libraries and Educational Technologies Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource For information on publishing or citation of an item in a non-educational, fair use context, please contact Special Collections.

Plants decorate the windowsill and what appears to be a fishbowl sits on top of a bookshelf on the left. All the girls sport curled and coiffed hairdos. A doll and a leather or wooden box sit on the top shelf of the right bookshelf and a sewing kit is on the bottom shelf. Many students were expected to repair their own clothes, especially if this picture was taken during wartime when cloth was rationed.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JMU Photographic Services Title A name given to the resource Student on Phone Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1979 Description An account of the resource Technology has greatly influenced our daily lives, and technology has likewise been incorporated into dormitories. This image from a residential living brochure shows a student conversing on a rotary phone in her own dorm room. Previously, students had to travel to the public hall phones, or one located in Alumnae Hall, to receive phone calls. The rules stated that they were limited to three or five minute conversations and calls had to be received before 11:00 p.m. Today, many colleges are removing landline phones all together in dormitory rooms. Their minimal use by students today, who communicate on personal cell phones or on their computers, does not justify their cost. Still, while technology changes the rules and the use of space in living areas, stuffed animals are a consistent presence.

At first, students would be served meals in a dining hall. Later, dormitories each had kitchenettes on their floors for communal use. Things like personal ovens and microwaves in dormitory rooms all developed later in the twentieth century. In fact, students had bans on any and all “electrical appliances,” in early dormitory rooms. The change in rules and addition of these items were major developments that meant space had to be found for these new dormitory fixtures. Today, many dorm rooms in colleges and universities around the nation have personal cooking appliances, especially for upperclassmen. [Quote from Freshman Training Examination, 1923.

LIFE Magazine, a radio, a glass bottle of soda, and a pennant between the windows all combine to create an image of a happy dorm room environment. Many Madison students wrote to enlisted servicemen during wartime and framed pictures, particularly those of military men like the image on the right side of the window sill, were common during the 1940s.

What could possibly be a small sewing kit sits on the windowsill. Students were urged to keep their rooms tidy as stated in a freshmen advice booklet: “Keep your room neat! You’re in college now, and you’ll be doing many things yourself which were done for you by others at home. Rooms are inspected frequently.” There were institutional rules about cleanliness, but there were also unwritten social rules to keep up with since your private space--the dorm room--was shared and likely seen by your peers at some point.
