Paterson Hall Association was a student organization at Ohio State University, established when Paterson Hall dormitory first opened in 1955. The dormitory initially housed women students only, but became co-ed by 1985. The association was formed to encourage responsibility and loyalty, maintain certain standards, and work with the Dean of Women and Women’s Self Government Organization (WSGA). Any student living in Paterson Hall was an automatic member of Paterson Hall Association. The organization included an executive council, a standards commission, a freshman class council, and officers consisting of a president, two vice presidents, secretary, treasurer, and social chairman.
