Summary: Principally booklets providing students with introductory information about the residence halls and on-campus life at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Biographical / Historical Note
The predecessor institutions of the University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire offered no dormitory housing until 1947, when Memorial Hall (the former Dulany Mansion, acquired in 1945) and Campus House, both women’s dormitories, were opened. Barrack housing for men and veterans’ family housing were made available shortly thereafter. By 1958, all female students were required to live in campus housing. Soon after, underclass male students and male students not living at home were also required to live on campus. The Dean of Men and Dean of Women’s Offices directed student residential life from the late 1940s through the mid 1960s. The Housing Office is first mentioned in the 1967-1968 university catalogue.
Content Description
The series contains principally booklets providing students with introductory information about the residence halls and on-campus life at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. They describe such things as applying for on-campus housing, differences in dormitories, food service and recreational opportunities. Early versions (pre-1976) contain a copy of the housing contract to be filled out by prospective students. There is also an undated booklet entitled "Leasing and Living off campus." Also included are rules and regulations concerning female students from the late 1940s and early 1950s.
