May 1942. Ames, Iowa. "On the campus at Iowa State College." Acetate negative by Jack Delano for the U.S. Office of the Coordinator of Information. View full size.
That’s what my mom used to say whenever we opened with Hey! Anyhow, I work in a university building just over 125 years old, and we don’t have air conditioning, so we can still open our windows, thank goodness. But when we recently had the windows replaced, the new windows had limiting devices on them that prevented us from opening them more than four inches. (To guard against suicide plus falls out the window by babies whose heads are bigger than four inches across, and as we all know, university buildings are simply crawling with babies on the window sills.) We raised a hue and cry, and the limiting devices were removed.
For sure it wasn't a personal-injury lawyer.
Where's the ivy and the neckties? What's in all the backpacks? Somebody open a window. Why would someone put these metal handrails here?
