Many years ago, IU had what was called "women's hours." All female students had to be back in their dorms or sorority houses by 11pm on weeknights, 1am weekends. (there were no such rules for men) Some of the older dorms that used to be all-female still have doorbells (women who missed curfew were locked out and had to ring the doorbell to get into the dorm, letting everyone know she had missed curfew) It was only in the 70s that coed dorms started becoming more common. This was just one generation ago! Even when I was in school, in the early-mid 90s, many dorm floors still had limited visitation hours, and there were still one male dorm floor and one female dorm floor with closed visitation - no one of the opposite sex allowed on the floor, period, no matter who it was.

Acutally, just about every university had those rules.
It was all a part of "In Loco Parentis."
Another rule (as silly as it sounds in print) was that on certain "visitation" times, if members of the opposite sex were in a dorm room, each had to have at least one foot on the floor.
