The History and Operation of Cedarville College

3. Literary Societies. 30 The two literary societies, Alpha Chi and Gamma Chi are open to men and women, respectively. They have as their primary purpose the cultivation of Christian personality and leadership. Their program stimulates originality and growth along literary, musical, artistic and humorous lines, and the development of ease and poise at both formal and informal events. The secondary purpose of the literary societies is entertainment. 4. Missions Fellowship. This group composed of all students interested in either Foreign or Home Missions meets at regular inter - vals for discussion and presentation of needs of various fields and for intercessory prayer in behalf of missionaries. 5. Musical Organizations. There are many activities for stud– ents with musical talent. Opportunities are given to take part in school programs and on Gospel teams. Excellent training and experience for students are offered through the Chapel Choir, the College Choir, the Chamber Band, and vocal and instrumental ensembles. A pep-band performs at athletic contests. 6. Newspaper. A weekly mimeographed paper is published by and for the students. Students who have had English language 101 or have had a second semester standing are eligible to work on the staff. In alternate years, the paper is handled as a project in the advanced writing class. A faculty advisor appointed by the President supervises this work.
