When my stepdad was at college (late '50s, early '60s), they had "dorm checks" every so often and you got in trouble if your room wasn't clean. They also had curfews. When I was at school, all the dorms I lived in had curfews--I think it was midnight during the week and 2 on weekends, but after those hours the outside doors were locked and you had to beat and bang on the door to get the desk clerk's attention so she'd come let you in...otherwise, you were out of luck.
