Charles A. Thomas Collection

Description

Charles A. Thomas served as Centre's official photographer during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Although characterized by his often formal and posed style, Thomas captured the college during a period of tremendous growth and change in the campus and student body. Thomas also taught printing at the Kentucky School for the Deaf.
