"10,001 Facts about Kent College" was the official supplement to Christopher Wright's Centenary Book, and published in the same year. It was compiled by A.P.L. Slater, and provides a concise view of names and dates recorded in the School's history, from the Head Prefects of successive years, to the longevity of contemporary staff members and "classic reports".
The "Red Book": This is published annually, and contains a list of enrolled pupils and current staff, denotes the senior prefects and Head Boy and Head Girl and sets out the school rules.
The "Kent College Times": This takes the place of the "Bulletin", and communicates news from the preceding term, with an introduction by the Head Master. It is sent to all members of the Kent College community, including Old Canterburians.
The School Magazine: Something of a KC institution - the first edition, under the name "The Rampant", was published in 1895 - the Magazine is published in the Autumn term, and is a colourful record of the achievements and interests of pupils and staff from the previous academic year.

Famous quotes containing the word literature:
“If a nation’s literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The higher, the more exalted the society, the greater is its culture and refinement, and the less does gossip prevail. People in such circles find too much of interest in the world of art and literature and science to discuss, without gloating over the shortcomings of their neighbors.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
“Our leading men are not of much account and never have been, but the average of the people is immense, beyond all history. Sometimes I think in all departments, literature and art included, that will be the way our superiority will exhibit itself. We will not have great individuals or great leaders, but a great average bulk, unprecedentedly great.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
