| | Centre College Presidents - John C. Young |
 | | John Clarke Young was born on August 12, 1803, in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, the youngest child of Rev. John and Mary Clarke Young. |
 | | During his twenty-seven years as president, it was often said that "Centre College was John C. Young and John C. Young was Centre College." When Young died in office on June 23, 1857, Centre College lost one of its greatest presidents. |
 | | Young was married twice: first on November 3, 1829, to Frances Breckinridge, who died in 1837, and second, in 1839, to Cornelia Crittendon, daughter of John J. Crittendon. |
