Description
This article in The Breeze discusses the transition to self-service laundry. Since the opening of the school, student laundry had been cleaned by school-hired personnel. At first the service was free, but before discontinuing laundry services in 1978 the school was charging students $27 a year. Automatic washers and dryers were added into dormitory spaces to compensate for the discontinuation.
Similarly, as early as the 1960s, dormitories were equipped with “electric irons and ironing boards,” in each kitchenette, giving students “no excuse for you to not look like a ‘slick chick’ when you leave your dormitory.” [Quote from: “Listen Freshman,” Booklet, ca. 1960s.]
