Trivia
- As the locus of Jewish activities on campus for over 30 years, the kitchen of Reynolds House is kept kosher, with separate refrigerators for meat and dairy. Unaware of this, maintenance staff once in the mid-90s transferred food between the refrigerators to do some repair work on one of them during a break. When the house residents discovered this, they had to bring in a rabbi to re-certify their kitchen.
