The tower rooms were traditionally occupied by four young men who worked in the food service at Farrand Hall, an all-women鈥檚 dorm at the time. When someone graduated, another Farrand worker would be invited to take his place. I was one of the lucky ones.

From our study, we had a view of the Flatirons and the entire campus to the north of us. Fifty years later, I still keep in touch with my fellow Willard Hall roommates.鈥� Ron lives in Sparks, Nevada.聽
