DORM...
Dismal Old Room of Mine
by Stan Zeigler,
Wright Residence Director
Contributing Writer
In the 1800’s and early 1900's,
the archaic term "dormitory" was
used to describe the structure in
which students at a college or uni
versity lived while pursuing their
education. Today, residence hall
educators call these same struc
tures Residence Halls. We call
them this for the simple fact that
Residence Halls are additional
learning centers for the students.
Residence Hall Staff are con
cerned with the development of
community. A Residence Hall, at
any given time, contains several
of the basic elements of a com
munity: a group of people who
live in close proximity who share
a common purpose (getting an
education), who are interdepen
dent for the fulfillment of cenain
needs (security) and who inter
act on a regular basis. So you
see, "dormitory" was a place
where students resided, while a
"Residence Hall" is a place where
students live and learn and to call
it that would make the structure
be more than just another place
to live.
