My Dorm Room (1960)

            Taken in 1960.

My dorm room (B 206) in Johnson McFarlane Hall at the University of Denver in November 1960. Taken with my Brownie Hawkeye camera. (Tidy, wasn't I?)

The only electronic device besides the phone (which came with the room) was my transistor radio, which I was using here as a bookend. (Some of my dorm neighbors also had portable phonographs, hi-fi not stereo, and typewriters).

Not many books to read, though. That was a problem for me at DU. I wanted some breadth in my studies. I think I had to buy only four or five books total for the whole fall quarter. That lack of breadth was one of the reasons I quickly left, transferring in the middle of my freshman year to Boston University (exchanging DU for BU), where each of my classes required more books individually than all my classes at DU put together. And I was ecstatic! (Well, maybe not ecstatic.)
