Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JMU Photographic Services Title A name given to the resource Girls in Dorm Room Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource ca. 1950s Description An account of the resource Eloise Lohr, left, and Ann Hearl, right, straighten up a dormitory room. 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.
