Its merge with Centre College profoundly impacted Centre life. This change and progression is evident in visual evidence such as photographs available from the two schools throughout decades of their history. The comparison of images from KCW and Centre history to recent photos conveys the progression seen over time in social life, sports, and more at KCW and Centre College.
