featured the slogan "Cedarville College Will Be Big Enough - If Your Heart Is." The guiding geniuses of the campaign were, in the words of an alumnus, "two high pressure boys named Adleman and Bowen."19 As the campaign opened, county residents were reminded again and again that until the local people supported the cause of the college "outside men of great means won't." In keeping with this emphasis, for the next several weeks every issue of the Cedarville Herald carried a list of those who had subscribed to the endowment drive and the amount they had pledged. On September 10, 1921, the Board of Trustees met in special session to study the results of the endowment drive. McChesney reported that pledges received totaled $132,230. The expenses incurred were approximately $8,000 and the trustees voted to pay for the campaign out of the funds raised. 20 By October the total pledges had reached $136,000 and the campaign had been extended to five years. 21 Early contributions enabled the trustees to remodel Alford Auditorium and set aside money to endow the building. 22 The success of the campaign can be seen in the fact that the total endowment of the college grew from $109,000 in 1920 to $242,000 in 1930. The college catalogs continue to list the $242,000 figure until 1936, following which no reference was made to the total amount in the Endowment Fund. 23 Without question, the total value of the college endowment was eroded by the Depression. From time to time through the '30s, the Trustees Minutes reveal the dropping of various stocks because the companies had liquidated, or because the stocks no longer had a value. But in spite of the external pressures that imposed financial hardship on the hard– earned endowment of the college, McChesney took pride in the fact that during his administration the endowment had been increased "to over $200,000."24 Another benefit of the fund-raising campaign was the erection of Cedarville's new Science Hall, which was opened in September 1923. The building was located just north of College Hall, which by this time was known as the Administration Building. The college boasted that the new building was: heated by vapor, and is absolutely fire proof. In the basement are a room and a laboratory for Academic Physics, cloak rooms and toilets. The first and second floors provide space for Fresh– men and Advanced Chemistry, College Physics and Biology. These rooms are furnished with 58/Chapter VII In spite of studies, there was still time to "clown" around by Founders Hall. the latest equipment for the study of the sci– ences. Electricity, natural gas and running wa– ter are available in all departments. 2s While the administrators were raising money for the endowment and the new Science Building, the soldiers returned to the classroom. Seeking an outlet for their adventuresome spirit, they urged the administration to revive football, which had been discontinued as a result of the war. "The high school and college joined forces, produced a monster athletic parade, hired a coach" and sent three men "to Columbus to buy a carload of equipment."26 Cedarville football was never very successful in these postwar years, with only an occasional victory over Antioch to lift their spirits. But despite the failures: The town was football crazy for a few years: orange and blue bunting, chalked windows, flags out every week end in those balmy fall days. Antioch had started it again too but al-
