This is the thing that strikes me the most when I'm back on campus. You absolutely, positively DID NOT carry a purse anywhere - if you saw someone carrying a purse, you knew they were a clueless freshman. It was the first thing people told you not to do once you got on campus. If you didn't have pockets, you carried everything in your key/ID holder. I remember literally not allowing one of the clueless new freshmen (when I was a sophomore) out of her dorm room until she promised not to carry her purse.
My cousin who went to school in like 1970 told me the same thing. I am guessing it's the cell phone that changed this. I still don't carry a purse to the bar if I can possibly help it.
