cooperation could be developed was through a formal program "initiated by the college and the Reformed Presbyterian Church." Should Cedarville and the Reformed Presbyterians do so, he promised the matter "would receive most careful consideration."D Stockwell indicated to McChesney that the Reformed Presbyterian Church would have to allow at least partial control of the college by the Presbyterian Church in the u.s.A. Otherwise it would be impossible for the General Board to consider their church assuming "any interest in a college of another denomination."14 When McChensey received Stockwell's letter concerning the General Board of Education ruling, he immediately called a meeting of the Cedarville College Board of Trustees. When the Board gathered in the Carnegie Library, McChesney presented to them a motion that the Board accord to "the Synod of Ohio or any other body or organization of the Presbyterian Church in the u.s.A." the right to nominate up to three representatives for the Cedarville College Board of Trustees. The Board did this, then immediately urged the Ohio Synod to support their request for $20,000. In their appeal they again pointed to the number of men serving the Presbyterian Church in the u.s.A. who had been trained at Cedarville, the continued support of the Dayton and Cincinnati Synods for their request, and the support of President Wishart of Wooster College. 15 Following their meeting, representatives of the Cedarville trustees immediately left for Cambridge to attend the Ohio Synod meeting scheduled on October 12. They again urged the Synod to support their request for $20,000 from the General Board of Education, and the Ohio Synod once more voted in their favor. Upon returning to Cedarville from the Synod meeting, S.c. Wright, a 1903 graduate who was serving as secretary of the Board of Trustees, addressed a letter to Stockwell containing the resolution of the Cedarville Board along with the approvals of the Dayton, Cincinnati, and Ohio Synods. Associate Secretary Stockwell was out of town when Wright's letter reached the Board offices. Consequently, the letter was directed to Edgar Hill, who was the general secretary of the General Board of Education. Hill indicated that Stockwell would reply when he returned to the The eating club of 1927. Those students who ate their meals in the basement of the Carnegie library formed a social organization and elected officers, recognizing themselves as a legitimate part of student life. 64/Chapter VIIl
