A memory about dorms: At this time, colleges operated in loco parentis, and dorms everywhere were strictly segregated by sex and locked down by 11 p.m. Very early in my long history with Melanie, she lived in a dorm (on the ground floor, fortunately), and at one point I climbed in the window of her room at 2 a.m. for some time with her while her (very obliging) roommate hung out elsewhere.
