"A fad which sweeps back and forth over the Smith student body throughout the entire year is washing the hair. When this wave is at its height the college might be the abode of Bluebeard, judging from the appearance of the campus houses. From the rear windows of each building depend wet masses of hair with sometimes a neck also visible. If the house is a large one, there's may be be three tiers of heads, a row for each floor, and as the wind catches these locks, blonde, brunette, brown, auburn and ordinary slate-colored tresses wave in the air... It is only the student's method of frying their hair and a visit inside the college house at this time would reveal many maidens in dressing sacks, with towels pinned around their shoulders, seated on window seats, with their heads thrown far back against the window sill. In order to improve their time, they are studying Kant or Wordsworth, holding the book high in the air so that they may read in their reclining position."
