Cline’s New Look
When the Cline dormitory gets brought up, many Centenary students would be able to give some description of the building – an open courtyard, a New Orleans style accented with a water fountain, eight people to a suite, etc. A similar characteristic that is closely tied to Cline’s name has been the Fishbowl.
