Lady Eaton College is the fourth college
within the University and the second college on the Symons Campus.
Named in honour of Flora McCrea Eaton, a native of Omemee and one of
the original sponsors of the University, the college provides facilities
designed to encourage academic and social interchange for a community
of students and fellows in an international atmosphere.
Situated against a drumlin, the residential wings and
Commons Block enclose a pleasant quadrangle. One-third of the south
wing of the college building is reserved as a women's residence while
the remainder of the south wing and the entire north wing house both
men and women. In total there are 214 single study-bedrooms, one apartment
reserved for upper-year students and 12 double study-bedrooms. On the
first floor of the residence wings are the Principal's Lodge and six
apartments for faculty and staff of the University who live in the
college as residential dons. There are also offices for many of the
fellows of Lady Eaton College as well as the departmental offices of
Women's Studies, Mathematics, and Modern Languages (French, Spanish,
German), the offices of the Trent International Program, and those
of the Provost and Dean of Arts and Science. Teaching takes place in
these offices as well as in the college's seminar rooms and lecture
hall.
Non-resident members of the college living at home or in lodgings
in Peterborough are full members of the college and are encouraged
to participate in college activities and to use the TV room, the
music practice room, the Junior Common Room, the student-run coffee
shop (The Magpie), Crawpadies Pub, and other facilities. The dining
hall, a spacious and colourful room with small tables, has a warm
and friendly atmosphere. It is also used for dances, concerts, and
other special events. Extensive grass fields, ideal for a variety
of pick-up sports, surround the college. The Athletic Complex and
University Library are close by across the main driveway.
Art exhibitions are occasionally held in
the college. They complement the permanent collection of the college,
which includes Inuit sculptures, a gift from Lady Eaton.
A very active student government organizes
and sponsors many college events in which students and faculty participate.
These include intramural sports, in which most students take part,
a varied social program including regular events sponsored by Cabinet;
Academic Teas, The Drumline, a student publication, and
the Lady Eaton College section in the Trent Annual (yearbook).
Language tables organized by the Department
of Modern Languages and Literatures hold informal weekly meetings in
the college during meal times. Each year the College Visitors Program
brings scholars, writers, performers, and public servants to the college
to meet students and fellows and to present seminars and lectures.
There are, in addition, regular open college symposia given by fellows
of the college and guests on topics of special interest. The college
has annually hosted a writer-in-residence program through which an
eminent Canadian writer is available for one week of discussions, consultations
and readings.
