Yeah, I can confirm that at least as of the mid-70s pretty much every college, at least the private ones, had freshman directories that people called “Facebook”. They would be pored over, by everyone (including upperclassmen), to identify attractive people of the gender that most attracted the porer. As far as I know, Exeter didn’t have one that far back.
