Jones Hall is named in honor of C. Baxter and Carolyn Cater Jones. Mrs. Jones is a graduate of Wesleyan (Class of 1917), and Mr. Jones rendered valuable services as a trustee and college attorney over many years.

Residential Environment
Jones Hall has accommodated many students in the past years, traditionally housing upper-class students.

Any community housed in Jones has been independent and energetic. The sizeable front lounges allow for large group gatherings and socializing while the smaller study rooms allow individuals to excel in academic work.
