Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource JMU Photographic Services Title A name given to the resource Dorm Cooking Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1979 Description An account of the resource The transition to dormitories with individual cooking areas placed great trust in residential students. At first, students would be served meals in a dining hall. Later, dormitories each had kitchenettes on their floors for communal use. Things like personal ovens and microwaves in dormitory rooms all developed later in the twentieth century. In fact, students had bans on any and all “electrical appliances,” in early dormitory rooms. The change in rules and addition of these items were major developments that meant space had to be found for these new dormitory fixtures. Today, many dorm rooms in colleges and universities around the nation have personal cooking appliances, especially for upperclassmen. [Quote from Freshman Training Examination, 1923.
