Yes, I’ve noticed this practice in my archival research at University of New Hampshire as well. Students in the ’60s and early ’70s were allowed to smoke in classrooms and the library, but were not allowed to have beverages or food in these areas. Now, the opposite is true. Interesting, isn’t it?

Smokin’ in the classroom…not smokin’ in the boys’ room.
I can remember a seminar in the library with Mac Keddy in 1972. Mac would light up one of his Parliament cigarettes, I’d light up a Marlboro, and we’d get underway. It didn’t seem to bother the others in that small group. If it did, nobody spoke up.
