The Breeze printed this image of guys playing one another at a game of chess in a dorm room, while drinking wine and beer. Images like these provide a contrast with earlier photographs of dormitory life. Casual incorporation of alcohol into student routines at that time would have been unthinkable. Alcohol regulations were not even mentioned in earlier handbooks from the beginning of the school, as it was likely assumed that no student would even consider consuming alcohol on campus appropriate behavior.
