English term or phrase: Burton-Judson college
It was perhaps appropriate that the dorm we lived in was called Burton-Judson usually referred to as BJ. If our parents had known about this, they would have fallen to the floor in dead faint.

Why the author says that? What's behind the Burton-Judson dorm that it could be so shocking?

Thank you very much for your help!
