he Martha Cook Building was certainly one of the most unique dormitories on the University ' s campus. It was , housing only 140 residents all of whom were women. Martha Cook was, for the most part, a foreign place to the University ' s young gentlemen, who were restricted to visitation between noon and midnight on weekdays and between noon and two a.m. on weekends. Junior history major Jeff Williams had two encounters with Martha Cook. First, he attended one of Martha Cook ' s famou.s International Teas. Residents enjoyed tea every afternoon, but on Fridays, Tea was open to anyone. The weekly Tea allowed the building ' s residents to drink a variety of teas from around the world with or without gentleman escorts. The only way men were allowed into Martha Cook was with a female cort at arm. Williams was nonplused with the event. There was a piano in the corner, he recalled of the tea room where occasionally someone would go over and play a few bad notes on it. I would drink my bitter tea and smile. Willams selected just your basic black tea to sip on. On his second visit to Martha Cook, accompanied by some residents, Williams tried to infiltrat e the building after designated male visiting hours. He did not feel threatened by building security. There wasn ' t really a guard, he recalled. There was just an old woman. If I had to, I could ' ve just run away from her. Martha Cook was not all about tea and crumpets, however. The adjacent tennis court, although worn with age along with the beautiful gardens, were some of the perks of Martha Cook life. Despite dubious athletic facilities, the Martha Cook community was tightly-knit. Residents on meal plans were required to eat all of their dorm meals in the Martha Cook Building, whereas, residents of other dorms could use their meal plans in most any University Housing cafeteria. This restriction fostered the development of close friendships within the building. Indeed, Martha Cook offered a unique way of life for female University students. Tea and other treats are set up buffet style in one of Martha Cook ' s sitting rooms. Residents of Martha Cook were able to enjoy formal tea every afternoon. R.
