From today's featured article  John C. Young (1803–1857) was an American educator and pastor who was the fourth president of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. He entered the ministry in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1828. He accepted the presidency of Centre College in 1830, holding the position until his death in 1857, making him the longest-serving president in the college's history. During his term, he increased the endowment of the college more than fivefold and increased the graduating class size from two students in his first year to forty-seven in his final year. Continuing to preach while in office, Young accepted the pastorate of the Danville Presbyterian Church in 1834, and founded the Second Presbyterian Church in Danville in 1852. He was elected moderator of the Presbyterian Church's General Assembly in 1853. Young is the namesake of several facets of the college today, including Young Hall. He was the father of William C. Young, who later became Centre's eighth president. (Full article...)
