Jeffrey Eaton
College Chaplain and Assistant Professor of Religion at Hamilton, active throughout the 1981–1987 period documented in the Spectator archive. Eaton led non-denominational Sunday chapel services and coordinated the Hamilton Campus Fund Drive (raising money for Oxfam, Amnesty International, and local organizations). He co-organized a 1981 campus commemoration of the Atlanta child murders, drawing together the BLSU, Women’s Center, and Jewish Students Association. By 1987 he was being quoted in campus climate surveys on alcohol culture and social programming. The Spectator identified him as both “College Chaplain” and “Assistant Professor of Religion,” indicating a dual faculty/administrative appointment.
