Year-by-Year: 1949-1960
1949-1950
| In a letter from Dean William Wurster of the School of Architecture to Alvar Aalto, Wurster says "...the faculty apartment is being used by a series of faculty. Next week the Burchards go in for two weeks." This implies that there was no Faculty Resident (or Housemaster) for the "New Dormitory" when it opened. |

Does anyone remember who my roomates were in 1957 and 1958? I've searched my memory and looked through old yearbooks, but I can't figure it out. I was class of '59 and I know one or two were class of '60. Can anyone help?
thanks

Cafeteria boycott 1958-60
Sometime during one of these years, we boycotted the Baker cafeteria. The Timeline says it was a vegetable boycott. But I remember the following. The food was not especially good during these years and there were many jokes about it. But one day the featured meat was Liver. it was pretty bad, overdone and bypassed by most of us. But the cafeteria served the same thing for three days straight. There may have been a meeting with the cafeteria staff - but I don't remember that. We had a house meeting one evening and voted to boycott the dining room. We all ate at the main cafeteria in Walker Memorial for at least one, maybe two weeks. The Baker House cafeteria was essentially empty. Finally, the cafeteria management gave in and met with the students and promised improved food. We returned to the cafeteria and the food was definitely better for the rest of the semester.
Maybe someone else can remember more specific dates and events. I know the boycott worked, but it was a pain. we had to run over to Walker after crew practice to make dinner before the cafeteria closed.
