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.
