Anyways, thanks to the sweet photo archive that the school hosts, we have a glimpse into past dining experiences at SMCM. Let's take a look!
Above we have a dinner from 1950. While this may look fancy (via tables are not in long rows) I am guessing this is how these biddies from the Seminary Junior College always ate (note: dudes started attending by 1949/50, but I'm guessing not many went in the fist year). Those are some sweet chairs. Kinda cool how everyone is in a group of exactly eight friends, since every table is filled up. I guess times were different in the 50s. Also, they were eating on the ground floor of Calvert Hall, how absurd! I think this might have been before the Calvert Hall fire, but I'm not really sure (via I can't remember).
Lastly we have this cool photo from 1973. It looks like the have stuff set out on plates for people to grab, instead of self-serve like we have today. Not much else to say I guess, looks pretty standard.
Gonna miss u Great Room. I didn't get a meal plan this semester, so if you see me starving please swipe me in, and I shall regale you with stories of my past.
Looking like your schools been around for a while, always fun to look into the past of places you frequent

ReplyDeleteYou forgot about the BAT, Ken.
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget the BAT! But I didn't find any pictures of it :/
ReplyDeleteNah, Calvert burned down in 1924.
ReplyDeleteIt was also a time when schools didn't farm out their food to big companies who skimp and measure everything and you got really good tasting food. What's the case with SMCM?
ReplyDeleteWe have BonAppetit who serve a good number of colleges, I think they're pretty good overall, but there have been some people upset with them as of late.
ReplyDeletecorrr dated ! haven't seen pictures like that before. Mine wasn't like that when I was younger ;)
ReplyDeleteGood read!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually quite sure that they're drinking milk, not orange juice. Everybody knows that cool kids drink milk. And as you can see, there are no bubbles on the surface of the liquid, and as the glasses themselves are orange-colored, I believe that it is likely orange-tinted milk!
ReplyDelete"only one black guy"
ReplyDeleteso not much has changed!
^^^ Well I'm pretty sure he's a worker, since the first black student was that one woman in...1965??? I can't remember the exact year, she came and gave a lecture last year which was really cool.
