Keynes College is the third oldest college of the University of Kent. It was established in 1968.cite web| url = http://www.kent.ac.uk/about/history/history59.html| title = About Kent - History - 1959-1969 | accessdate = 2007-08-05| date = 2007-01-11| publisher = University of Kent]

Namesake

It was named, after much debate, after the economist John Maynard Keynes. Other names considered included Richborough, a town in Kent, and Anselm, a former Archbishop of Canterbury. Graham Martin, "From Vision to Reality: the Making of the University of Kent at Canterbury" (University of Kent at Canterbury, 1990) page 124 ISBN 0-904938-03-4] Appropriately the University's department of Economics is located in the building.

College architecture

The college was designed by different architects from Eliot and Rutherford and consequently has a very different design. With limited funds, the initial study bedrooms lacked individual wash-basins, instead having communal facilities, though common areas for groups of study bedrooms were included, a change from the Eliot and Rutherford corridors.Graham Martin, "From Vision to Reality: the Making of the University of Kent at Canterbury" (University of Kent at Canterbury, 1990) page 128 ISBN 0-904938-03-4]

Keynes is notable for having a much clearer separation between the residential and non-residential areas than the other three colleges, with the teaching rooms and old dining hall concentrated at the front and east of the college.

College traditions

The Junior College Committee runs annual welfare and education campaigns and works closely with the Students' Union to provide service for the students in Keynes.

Every year the college holds "Keynestock", a music festival, which attracts over 1200 students and raises a lot of money for charity.
