“J.D. Salinger Slept Here”

Ursinus College in Pennsylvania was once home to college student J.D. Salinger, if only for one semester. In 2006, the college announced a J.D. Salinger scholarship in creative writing with an added bonus—the winner would get to spend the first year at Ursinus in Salinger’s old dorm room. The “Salinger” name has since been taken off the scholarship due to objections from his literary representatives. The scholarship has been renamed but the room offer is still available. More information is available in this recent New York Times article.
