Paton College
Located on the eastern end of the Memorial University of Newfoundland's St. John's campus, Paton College and nearby Burton's Pond Apartments are residences operated by the university's department of Housing, Food and Conference Services. Paton College offers traditional dormitory style housing while Burton's Pond is apartment style housing. Paton College and Burton's Pond provides accommodations for students who are attending either Memorial University, the Marine Institute, or the College of the North Atlantic (Prince Phillip Drive Campus).
==History==
Construction of Paton College began in 1962, with most of the nine residences being completed by 1968.〔Carew, S. J. ''The Nine Lives of Paton College''. Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, NL. 1974.〕 The college is named after John Lewis Paton, who was the first President of Memorial University College from 1926-1933.〔 The nine original Houses of Paton College were named in honor of various benefactors of Memorial University College and Memorial University, in particular Vere Harmsworth, 3rd Viscount Rothermere and Sir Eric Vanisttart Bowater. Coughlan College, a single dormitory building originally operated as one of four denominational residences, became a part of Paton College in the mid-1990s. A modified Paton family crest was bestowed upon the College and serves as its official crest to this day.
Burton's Pond was built in the mid-1970s and is named after the pond adjacent to the apartments, which existed before the university was built. The five Courts and Corte Real (the services building) are named after notable early explorers of North America, all of whom have connections to Newfoundland; Jacques Cartier, Giovanni Caboto, Humphrey Gilbert, John Guy, George Calvert (1st Baron Baltimore), and Gaspar Corte-Real.
