Todd Gambin ‘02 provides “a shout out to my boys in West College, 2001-2002″ here.

Back in the day, you could just walk into someone’s room and chill out or talk about whatever, because everyone had their door open and was cool with taking a break and goofing off a bit. Now, such is not the case. People are working, and you don’t talk to people if they’re working, because they’re all stressed. Besides, they’re probably not even home anyway: they’re holed up in their office somewhere until 4 in the morning or so. It’s just not the same kind of atmosphere. . . . I’m not saying it’s bad now by any means, but not much is the same as Williams.

And never will be, alas. [Isn't the phrase "back in the day" an official EphBlog trademark? -- ed. Yes it is. But we are nothing if not open source/creative commons here at EphBlog, so Todd is welcome to use it.]
