“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. It was not enough for the houses to curtail alcohol; even their personalities were being stripped.”
