The History and Operation of Cedarville College

2 College needed chapel facilities, an addition was placed on this build– ing to seat 250 students for the chapel services. In 1959, the building was again enlarged and completely remodeN_ed. The exterior of Milner Chapel now is brick, and the interior is well decorated to make a cheerful place for the regular Chapel services of the college. Now, approximately 400 students can be seated in the chapel. Mr. George S. ·Milner, present chairman of the Board of Trustees of the college, contributed a large sum of money for the construction of this building. Cafeteria. Prior to 1953, the building now housing the cafe - teria of the college, was used as a student recreation center. Since that time, it has been enlarged twice and will serve as a cafeteria for some 300 students. Both the cafeteria and Milner Chapel have been made permanent buildings so that in time to come, when they out-grow their usefulness for the present use, they can very easily be turned into class-room buildings. Alford Memorial Gymnasium. This structure, erected in 1853, was presented to the College by Mr. W. J, Alford in memory of his father and mother. It is the oldest building on the campus, having served originally as the assembly hall of the Reformed Presbyterian Chu:rch of Cedarville. When the latter 1 s congregation moved into their new building, the old church was remodelled, enlarged, and converted into a gymnasium by the laying of a basketball floor and the provision of wide tiers of bleacher space on each side. Locker-rooms and equipment room~ and an office for the director of Physical Education complete the facilities. The following item taken from the Springfield
