[Magdalen] Fwd: LOST WORDS

[Grace Cangialosi]

This reminds me that when I was at U Mich. there was one experimental
"Co-ed dorm."  That meant one wing was for men and one for women--and you
couldn't get from one to the other without going outside!  It was
considered pretty out there for the times. I lived in a women's dorm, and
men weren't allowed above the first floor, except on moving days when dads
and brothers were allowed to help! I don't ever remember anyone referring
to women as "co-eds," though.
My senior year undergraduate women were allowed to live in apartments for
the first time... I did!
