I know many on the board lived on campus. This is the history of the residence hall housing from 1868 to 1968 written by J. C. Schilleter in 1970. Just a constant struggle to find housing for students. It's 286 pages but has a very good Table of Contents and Index so if you have a particular interest you'll likely find it easily.

Two points I found interesting: the many moves of men and women caused by housing WW 2 trainees and most of the RCA dorms (built in the teens through thirties) each had food service within the building.
