3. Even more than 40 years ago, they weren't sending any younger students

When I was a senior in college, I took 2, 6-credit (1 credit = 4 hours) "lab research" courses (1 course per semester) as part of my chem curricula, where the time was spent doing a research project (in my case, doing organo-metallic chem stuff). I shared a lab with a Chinese national who was a grad (or post-grad) student and was probably in his 40s. I really got a sense of "communal" with him because although we supposedly had our own hoods and drawers of glassware, etc., he would routinely go into my drawers and get what he needed if he didn't have the items.
