Merton College is a metaphor for sexual awakening. This college is where Dolores goes away to school, and where she meets Kippy and learns about Dante by reading his letters, and where she kicks the boy named Eric in the crotch. It's also where she has oral sex with the lesbian janitor named Dottie.
