"I was a Co-ed": Female Students Insist upon "Inspecting" Elizabeth Low's New Room

In her memoir recounting her time at Dickinson, Elizabeth Low remembers the day she became a boarder of Miss Annie Rhoads who lived on the corner of West and Pomfret Streets.  Low wrote that she "lost no time" and immediately went to speak to Miss Rhoads so as to secure the room. Consequently, Low had no time to discuss her decision with the other female students. Low explained, "The change was so quickly accomplished that I had not told the Junior and Sophomore co-eds, but they soon found out and came round to inspect my room. According to Low, all her friends agreed that the room was perfect. Moreover, Low and the other female students became close friends with Miss Rhoads.
