Throughout the school year, the community of The King’s College reflects on a particular intellectual theme culminating in Interregnum (“break in the kingly reign”), a three day, student-led, all-campus event during which students compete in impromptu speaking competitions, debates, prepared lectures, and an art competition. This year’s theme is “civilization.”
