...young thing's life will be "How to Set Up Housekeeping at Vassar," and is thus the subject of Chapter 1. Warning the freshman that when she first arrives "the room looks BARE," it counsels that she "use one doorknob for support and think ahead to the close of the first few weeks when your room will assume its own personality, look homelike, and be the place in which you will live...
