A Look Into the Past

Asthe college prepared for its 40th anni- versary, in 1934, Dr. David McKinney was invited to be the commencement speak- er. The 74-year old McKinney accepted rhe invitation; however, his sudden death less than a month before graduation pre- vented him from fulfilling that commit- ment. McKinney's place at commence- ment was taken by his son, Rev. D.A. McKinney, who pastored the Oakland Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Ohio. Dr. David McKinney was a great man of God who devoted many years of service ro Cedarville College and the cause of Christ. His influential leadership provided the college wirh a strong foothold for irs future success. by Krisrin Webber 20 History
