Listen to the interview:

Jay: "My roommate [Ralph Sleeper] and I faced a dilemma. Both of us had lived in the barracks for well over two years. One barracks after another. We knew that a limited number of seventeen- and just barely eighteen-year-old kids were coming to Dartmouth. They were a whole generation apart from us. We had practically nothing in common. They were children as far as we were concerned. We weren't interested in water fights at 2 am along the hallways in the dorm."
