Men asked women out on dates, and it was a stigma not to go out on a Saturday night. Radcliffe dorms served milk and cookies on Saturdays for the unlucky--thus advertising the shame, Rosenblum notes. A woman's social life was a matter of public record in the dorms, since all calls went through the bell's desk and interested residents constantly leafed through the sign-out ledger...

In his laboratory he continues experimenting, currently studying two microbes that lack cell walls and observing how they interact with the body's immune system. He also reads voraciously, particularly poetry, and is teaching himself Greek so that he can read Homer in the original. The doctor's spare time is not wasted in worry; he smokes a pipe constantly, enjoys a drink before dinner, eats whatever he likes...
