context_page_description: Jonathan Edwards College is a residential college at Yale University. It is named for theologian and minister Jonathan Edwards, a 1720 graduate of Yale College. Opened to undergraduates in 1933, JE is one of the original eight residential colleges donated by Edward Harkness. It is also among the smallest of Yale's residential colleges, by both footprint and undergraduate membership.
  JE's residential quadrangle was the first to be completed in Yale's residential college system. Because its design employed buildings finished before the Residential College Plan was adopted, it is stylistically eclectic, but mostly in the Collegiate Gothic style.
context_section_description: A Head of College's House was added to JE at the time of its conversion into a residential college. This three-story, single family home is the formal residence of the Head of JE, who hosts dinners, teas, and other ceremonial events in the house.
  Student housing consists of suites of two to eight, each with a common room and adjoining private rooms, as well as several dozen standalone rooms allocated to upperclassmen. The college can accommodate 212 undergraduate residents.  In addition to student rooms, Kent Hall contains apartments for the dean of JE, resident fellows, and a suite for guests of the Head of College.
  The freshman class lives in Farnam Hall on the Old Campus, and approximately half of the junior class lives in McClellan Hall. Due to the small size of the college and the proximity of McClellan, more upperclassmen live in annex housing than any other college.
