“This was all part of a broader sanitization, a rewriting of Stanford’s own mythology. Legendary themed dorms, like the French House, which used to host popular wine and cheese nights, or Haus Mitt, once known for its Oktoberfest celebration, were renamed with numbers.

Some of this is outdated :/

“Every social event, in Stanford’s view, was a harm waiting to happen—the university’s goal was to minimize the fallout. This framing...had the effect of bludgeoning formative life experiences to death.”
