FACl"J.T\" r\:'\D !"E:'\IOR CLA:-iS. The Glee Club, 1H9-. From the earliest days, music has played an important role in Cedarville College ac– tivities. Music g roups of every variety have provided entertainment and service for the student body, com– munity and interested churches. Dr. McKinney's interest in Bible training by no means dulled his interest in secular education. Through the efforts of Dr. McKinney and the Honorable Whitelaw Reid, Andrew Carnegie of– fered Cedarville College a gift equal to sum Jt could raise for an endowment. Twelve thousand dollars was secured within one year, and the present library building was completed in the fall of 1908.

The activities and curriculum of Cedar– ville College have always been built around rhe sraremem by Dr. McKinney in his mes– sage in rhe 1903 Memorabilia. "Above all Cedarville College believes char rhe culture of the mind without the nurrure and growth of spiritual life is a mistake. Education with– our moraliry is a menace ro the state. Mor– ality to be deep and abiding must have irs springs in religion. Accordingly the Bible is a textbook of the college. No student can graduate who has nor taken a thorough and systematic course in it. The professors are all earnest Christians ... They are glad ro assist students in every possible way."
