6 CEDARVFLLE COLLEGE . HISTORY. H E idea of establishing an institution for higher Christian education in Cedarville, originated with the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in No rth America. This denomination is the representative in this country of the historic Covenanter Church of Scotland. The late Dr. H ugh McMillan, for many years pastor of the Cedarville congregation, manifested a warm interest in the cause of higher education and was the principal of a classical academy in Greene county, which he conducted successfully in addition to his pastoral labors. In the year 1885 the matter of establishing a literary institution assumed definite shape through a resolution offered in the General Synod by Rev. David Steele, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa., and in January , 1887, Cedarville College was duly chartered by the S tate of Ohio. About the same tune a sum of money, amoun ting to about $10,000, was subscribed by the friends of the College, and since then various gifts and bequests have from time to time come into the hands of the Trustees. Notably, the late William Gibson, Esq., of C incinnati, bequeathed $25,000 for the endow ment fund. The enterprise then slumbered for a few years, ow ing to various causes, but in May, 1804, a fresh and most successful start was made. The General Synod elected Rev. David McKinney, D. D., of C incinnati, Ohio, President of the College, and directed the Hoard of Trustees to open the College in the Au tumn of the same year. The Hoard accordingly chose a Faculty, and on Wednesday, Sep tember 19, 1894, the College was formally opened. During the first year the College occupied the fine old mansion house in which Dr. Hugh McMillan conducted his Latin school, and which is now owned by Prof. David Steele, D. D., of Philadelphia. T h e accommodations, however, were not sufficient for the needs of the second year, so the Trustees erected a suitable building on the site purchased several
C E D A R V I L U C COL L EGE . 7 years ago. Th is is b u t the second ye a r of the practical existence of the College, nevertheless d u ring the past year the a ttendance has almost doubled, the Fa cu lty has been increased, liberal funds have been received, a large a nd commodious bu ild ing has been erected, the campu s has been beautified, and in en te ring its third y e a r Cedarville College feels encou raged to widen its influence, fully confident in its supervisors and deeply conscious o f its noble an d powerfu l mission as a factor in the Christian education of mankind. GENERAL INFORMATION. N E W C O l.L E G E B U IL D IN G . Th e N ew College Bu ild ing stands in a campu s con ta in ing over nine acres, well graded , and beautifully located on the main street, north end of Cedarville. T h e erection of the building was begun in the S p r in g of 189”) and completed late in the A u tun in of the same year. H ow ev e r it has been occupied th r o u g h ou t the whole of the past year for collegiate purposes. It is a handsome bu ild ing o f pressed brick and cut stone, the plans and specifications of wh ich were made by J am e s R . Tu rne r, o f N ew York City. Th e basement contains a gymn a sium room, a c h em ical room, toilet rooms, coal cellars, and the heating apparatus. On the first floor are four class rooms, the chapel a nd the P r e s iden t's room, besides the main and side en trance corridors. On th e second floor are four class rooms, a large lecture room, and the library. Tw o large society rooms occupy the en tire third floor. Tw o wide and gen tly a scend ing stairways, one on each side o f the building, lead from the basement to the third story. T h e bu ild ing is equ ipped th roughou t w ith electric wires. It is su rmoun ted by a bell-tower. Th e re are en trances on each o f the four sides. S tan d in g in the c en te r of the campus on the h ighest site o f Cedarville, the bu ild ing presents an a ttra c tiv e and imposing appearance.
8 C ED A RV I L L E COLLEGE . LOCATION OF CEDARVILLE. Cedarville, Ohio, the seat of Cedarville College, is located on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, (the Little Miami Division). It has direct communication by telephone, telegraph and railroad with Xenia, eight miles sou th w e s t ; Springfield, twelve miles n o r th ; London, twen ty miles n o r th e a s t; Columbus, forty-seven miles northeast and C incinnati, seventy-three miles southwest. It is in the center o f the Miami Valley, and is one of the prettiest as well as the most healthful locations in Ohio— free from malaria. The country lying about Cedarville is level, fertile, improved and in every way suited for a pleasant residence. A n y who have children to educate and wish to be with them du ring their college life can find no prettier region and no better society than in this community, in addition to many other advantages generally sought for by the enterprising and industrious. LIBRARY AND READING ROOM. Arrangemen ts will be made with the trustees o f the Cedarville library for the use of their books du ring the collegiate year by the students. This library contains many of the latest and best works by popular authors. Lately, valuable additions were made to it by the Hon. Wh itelaw Reid. The leading magazines and weekly periodicals will be found during the day time at the college library room. Each Thursday some student, previously appointed, will be expected to read the current news in chapel. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES. There are six nourishing churches in the town—Reformed Presbyterian (G. S.), Reformed Presbyterian ( S .), United Presbyterian, Methodist Episcopal, Baptist and A. M. E. Each of these churches maintains a young people’s prayer meeting once a week. On each Wednesday morning the students conduct a
C E D A R VI I , LE COLLEGE . 9 college p rayer meeting, which all students are required to a ttend . Th is me e ting is held in the chapel in the presence of the faculty. Ninety-seven per cent, of the studen ts in a tte n d ance this y e a r are professing Christians. All studen ts are expe c ted and required to a ttend the church designated by their parents, who are requested to send the ir w ritten wishes as to w h a t chu rch their children shall attend. This is the only college in G reene C oun ty und e r P re sby te rian influence. T h e en tic e ments to sin, so plentiful in large cities and over-crowded colleges, are not found here. SPECIAL ADVANTAGE. It is a remarkable fact that many no te-wo rthy men have g radu a ted from smaller colleges—Garfield, Hayes, \V. R . H a rp e r, J o h n A. B ingham , are strik ing examples—this can only be accounted for by the fact th a t in the smaller colleges they received personal instruction from their professors, and consequen tly were tho rough ly led th rough their course. Cedarville college w ith o th e r smaller colleges has this special a d v an tag e of g e ttin g its students in personal con tact w ith their professors in the class-room. S tuden ts are thu s impelled from a sense of honor and a system of daily g rad ing to p repare their lessons. Therefore, no studen t can slight his work, but every studen t is required to recite personally each day to his different professors. W e ma in tain tha t personal con ta c t with his professors is the surest and truest m ann e r of developing the student.
10 C E D A RV I L L E COLLEGE SPECIAL RULES AND STATEMENTS. 1. The President of the college and the Professors are styled the Faculty. 2 . Every student enrolled as a member of a certain class must take the studies o f th a t class, unless excused by the President. 3 . No student shall be allowed to discontinue any study without express permission from the President. 4 . H igh School and Academic Grades will be received for the Preparatory Depa rtmen t only. Only college grades and c e r tificates will be received in the Collegiate Department. 5 . Payment of dues must be made the first day. N o student will be enrolled in any class or recognized in any recitation until he has paid his dues or made satisfactory arrangement with the treasurer for them. 6 .

CEDAR VILLE COLLEGE. 11 i2 . P un c tu a l a ttendance is required on the first day. Failure to he present results seriously to class stand ing . N ew studen ts are requested to present themselves, if possible, at least one day before the o p en ing o f a term. R E Q U I R E M E N T S FOR A D M IS S IO N . A n y one who desires to e n te r either the P re p a ra to ry or Co lleg iate D ep a rtm en t should read carefully the Special Rules and S tatemen ts, should examine the Courses o f S tu d y in the P rep a ra to ry and Co llegiate Departmen ts, w ith the R e v iew of the D ep a rtm e n ts o f S tudy , and the following Statements. A G E . I. A s a general rule, no s tud en t will be adm itted to the F re shman Class unless fifteen years o f a g e ; nor will any one be a dm itted to advanced stan d in g w ithou t co rrespond ing increase o f age. Under this rule students should be at least th irteen for admission to the J u n io r P repa ra to ry year. C O -E D U C A T IO N . Experience has proven th a t the sexes should be educated together. It tends to higher culture, more refined tastes, and be tte r order than where this privilege is not g ran ted . Accordintrlv studen ts o f both sexes are adm itted under the rule adopted in 1894. E N R O L L M E N T A N D C E R T I F I C A T E S . II. An app lic an t for admission to the P rep a ra to ry D e p a r tmen t or to the Collegiate D e p a r tm e n t must file w ith the P re s iden t of the College, on or before the open ing day o f the A u tumn term, ( S ep tem b e r 9th, 1896), a certificate from his or her p rinc ipal in structo r, c o n ta in ing a definite sta temen t of the subjects upon wh ich a successful exam ination has been passed. S tuden ts hav ing regular high school diplomas or equivalents should also presen t the same. S tud en ts may be adm itted to classes above the F re shman on the certificate o f honorable dismissal from colleges of like stand ing w ith this. Adm ission to
12 C E D A R V I L L E COLLEGE any class without examination is tentative until the student passes the first term examinations. III. Every candidate, before admission, must present a certificate of good moral character from his last teacher, or from some citizen in good standing, or, if studying w ith a view to the ministry, from the proper ecclesiastical authority, and students from other Colleges must bring certificates of honorable dismission from those Colleges. IV. S tudents unable to be present at the open ing may be admitted at any time during the term, but they may be conditioned to make up what the class, which they enter, may have studied in the part of the year just expired. E X A M IN A T IO N S . V. App lican ts for admission who have no diplomas or certificates will be required to pass satisfactory examinations upon the two days preceding the opening o f the A u tum n term, provided they are candidates for degrees. Hut no student will receive a degree until he shall have completed or furnished an equivalent for every study in the course. Studen ts desiring to matriculate in any class higher than the Jun io r Preparatory, must present satisfactory statements for. or pass entrance examinations in all studies previously pursued by the class. Candidates for the Freshman Class are especially requested to examine the P repa ra to ry D e p a rtm e n t; and, if they are lacking in any studies, to exert all efforts to make them up before en tering the Freshman Class; otherwise they will be conditioned at their own inconvenience. No student will be conditioned in more than two regular studies. A DM IS S IO N OK S P E C I A L S T U D E N T S . Students desiring to pursue one or more subjects less than a full course must matriculate, and may then attend any such course as the Faculty advises, but they will not be regarded as candidates for degrees.

1!) Ce d a r v i l l e c o l l e g e . THE COURSES OF STUDY. C L A S S I C A L A N D P H IL O S O P H IC A L . Tw o courses of study are offered— the Classical Course le ad ing to the degree of Bachelor of A rts and the Philosophical Course le ad ing to the degree o f Bachelor of Philosophy. Th e object o f these courses is to give the student a high and modern collegiate education. G raduates from e ither course can e n te r at an advanced stand ing in higher colleges and universities. Several members of our Board of T ru stees are graduates of Ea ste rn Universities, and will be pleased to assist the faithful and aspiring studen t to p rop e r stand ing in our Eastern U n iv e rsities. T h e P residen t of the College, Dr. McK inney , is a local Ex am in e r for the University of Penn sy lvan ia, and will be glad to recommend to th a t institution any wo rth y studen ts of Cedarville College who may desire to take an advanced stand ing or a special Un iversity course. C L A S S I C A L D E P A R T M E N T . In the Classical Department there are daily recitations in all classes. Th is course consists o f teaching and lectures in History, Philosophy, Ma thematics, Latin , Greek, Rhetoric, English L a n guage and L iterature, N a tu ra l Science, Mental and Moral Science. Logic, Political Science and A n c ie n t L iterature. Its aim is to give to the studen t a broad know ledge o f the highest mental, moral an d spiritual character. P H I L O S O P H I C A L C O U R S E . T h e Philosophical Course is the same as the Classical Course with the exception of G reek, for which German is substituted. T h e Ge rman begins in the Senior P rep a ra to ry year and is c o n
20 C l t DA RV I L L E COLLEGE . tinued to the Senior Collegiate year. The aim of this course is to accommodate some who prefer German to Greek. It is ecpial in length with the Classical Course. O P T IO N A L S T U D IE S . No election of studies is permitted until the student reaches the Senior Collegiate year. In the Senior year the student may elect, with the aid of the faculty, either Na tu ra l Science or French or Hebrew. Experience of the past as well as of the present abundantly proves that the College Curriculum of studies diligently pursued will produce better results than an Optional Course. DEPARTMENTS OF STUDY. L A T IN L A N G U A G E A N D L I T E R A T U R E . Special attention is given to pronunciation, (the Roman method is used), syntax, mythology, history and philology. The principles of the grammar must be thoroughly mastered ; with the reading of the required course there is a constant, thorough drill in parsing, analysis, comparison and composition. A graded and systematic course in prose composition is begun in the Ju n io r P reparato ry year, and extends to the Sophomore Collegiate year. Th e Latin course extends through twelve full terms, and in the last term each student in Latin will be required to prepare a thesis upon some subject assigned by his professor. First Year.—The first two terms arc devoted to Jone s’ Latin Lessons, accompanied by the Grammar. In this time the student is expected to master the inflections, and to lay general foundations for the profitable reading of Latin. The third term’s work consists of Caesar and Composition. Second Year.—Th e first term includes the more rapid reading of Cicsar, and the mastery of sentence order. Th e second and third terms arc spent on Vergil’s yEneid, with special a tte n tion to Mythology, Prosody and Syntax. Prose Composition is made a prominent feature th roughout the year.
CEDARVILLE c o l l e g e . 21 In the F re shman ye a r Cicero’s O ra tion s against Catiline and H o ra c e ’s Odes, Epode s and Satires arc studied. Croat care has been cxerciseil to select the best texts in these studies. T h e wo rk is progressive, and the stu d e n t’s mind is directed to Roman Histo ry , O ra to ry , My tho logy and Poetry. Much of the time is taken up in Wo rd Analysis, P ronunciation and Syn tax . Close familiarity w ith S c a n n in g and the It ules of Poe try is required. Du ring the year the studen t is required to p repare Essays on the different topics o f study and thus is taugh t to convey to others in his ow n language and though ts w h a t he learns in the classroom. T h e Sophomo re year presents additional study in History and the Satire. Courses are pursued in Livy, Ta citu s and J u v e nal. T h e tran sition from the golden to the silver age of Latin L iteratu re is dw e lt upon and the differences of idioms are closely investigated. Rheto rical analysis forms much o f the ye:u-’s work and the decline o f the Roman Em p ire is studied from a philosophic standpo in t. G R E E K L A N G U A G E A N D L I T E R A T U R E . T h e Greek course begins in the Senior P repa ra to ry year. D u r in g this y e a r W h ite ’s Beg inne rs’ Greek Book is used. In the la tter pa rt of this work one term is sp e n t on the Anabasis and Prose Composition, in which there is a constant drill upon the princip les o f syn tax and the uses of prepositions. Du rin g the first two terms m inu te a tten tion is given to pronunciation, accent, diacritical marks, g rammatical constructions and pa ra digms, by the daily tran slation of Greek into Eng lish and E n g lish in to Greek. F rom the very b e g in n in g the studen t is requ ired to store aw ay a vocabulary according to the most natural memory method. Tw e lv e hund red words at least are comm itted to memo ry in the Senior P re p a ra to ry year. The Greek course ex tend s th roughou t twe lve full terms, at the end of which each studen t of the course will be required to prepare a thesis upon some sub ject assigned by the professor of the departmen t.
22 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. Th e Freshman work in Greek is taken from continued study in the Anabasis. H a r p e r and Wallace’s text is used ; and H is tory, the uses of prepositions, new words, word-analysis, pa rticiples, clauses of purpose and result, and the Greek army are closely studied. Du ring the second term the Memorabilia is taken up. The study of participles is continued. Th e life and teachings of Socrates are examined in a historical and philosophical light. In the third term Home r’s Iliad is read. The studen t becomes acquainted with the archaic forms of the lan guage and the rules of prosody. Especially is Mythology dwelt upon and a thorough knowledge o f the customs and rites o f the Homeric days is required. The Homeric question is discussed and the work is studied both from a syntactic and allegorical point of view. Th e Greek of the Sophomore year consists o f two terms in Demosthenes’ Corona and one term in yEschylus’ Prometheus Hound. In the former the principal themes of study are Macedonian and Grecian History, Oratory and the Infinitive. The aim is to read all of the P rometheus du ring the third term. Th e metre, mythology and peculiar forms and expressions of the work together with Mrs. B rown ing ’s translation are c arefully studied. T h e Ju n io r year of Greek includes one term each in Plato, Euripides and the N ew Testament. The Apology and Crito of Plato are pursued until the student is made familiar with Grecian Philosophy and the ancient methods of instruction. In the Medea the course of mythology is completed and the Greek plays are dwelt upon and analyzed. Th e New Te stamen t Greek furnishes work in the study of the Scriptures in the original. Th e peculiar meanings o f words, the aorist tense, and doctrines form the basis of work in this study. It is especially worthy of notice that Greek Prose Compo sition commences in the Senior P reparato ry year and continues to the Sophomore year. Ou r course in Greek is systematic, extensive and thorough, and no student who desires a real Classical training should fail of the opportunity we oiler.
GERMAN. T h e impo rtanc e o f Ge rman as a college study l i a s greatly increased d u r in g the last few years. It affords extensive g round s for the philologist. Over fifty per cen t of the words in the English language come directly from the German. C o n sequently, a good know ledge of the English language necessitates a good know ledge o f German. In the scientific world, the researches and discoveries o f German philosophers constitu te a great part. Th is explains why Ge rman is one of the requ iremen ts for en te rin g a scientific course at the great universities. Moreover, the last hundred years has witnessed a g r e a t revival of Ge rman w rite rs—in fact, a golden age of Ge rman literature. Th is affords a g reat incentive to classical students. Ge rman is the characteristic of the Philosophical course, emb ra c ing four years, as follows : F irst Y e a r.—Collar’s Ey senba ch ’s German Lessons is taugh t the whole year. Th e studen t is tho rough ly g rounded in the principles of the language— the mastery of inflections, the d istinctions of auxiliaries and the se cu ring of a vocabulary. Second Y e a r.—Th e first term is devoted to drill in the tran slation of J o y n e s ’ Ge rman Reader. Th e second and third terms con tain tw o masterpieces of German au tho rs— Schiller’s “ T e l l ” and Go e th e ’s “ F au st.” T h e re ad ing is interspersed w ith composition. T h ir d Y e a r.—This ye a r is spent in re ad ing more difficult Ge rman in two classics—H e in e ’s “ Harz re ise ” and F r e y ta g ’s “ Soil und H a b e n .” S ig h t reading also is required. Fou rth Ye a r.—Th is year includes works from Lessing and Schiller, end ing w ith a historical digression. F R E N C H . F ren ch is one o f the three electives of the Senior year. It comprises F r e n c h lessons for two terms and reading in the third.
24 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Th e text-books are VanDaell’s Introduction to French and the French Reader. F rench is of considerable importance in scientific and literary lines, and is steadily increasing in demand. H E B R E W . Students intend ing to en ter a theological seminary should be somewhat familiar with Hebrew. This has been provided for in the Senior year as an elective. Th e text-books, Ha rp e r’s Introductory Method and Manual, and H a rp e r’s E lements of Hebrew, are used until the student has attained a good vocabulary and pronunciation, and can read readily. Exercises from Hebrew into English, and from English into Heb rew are required daily. M A T H E M A T IC S . The course in Mathematics is systematic and thorough, extending through the Ju n io r year. In the Preparato ry Departmen t A rithme tic is completed from Percentage in the Ju n io r year. Milne’s S tanda rd A r ith metic is the text used. Students in this class have a full drill in all the applications of Percentage to business life, together with many practical problems. T h e study of A lgeb ra is required in the Senior year. The text used is Bowser’s College Algebra ; it is intended for those who have had some previous work in Algebra, but with faithful work a beginner could enter this class. Th e work o f the first two terms extends through Quadratic Equations ; the third term is given up to a careful study o f those principles of A lgebra which find their application in H igher Mathematics. In the Collegiate D ep a rtmen t during the F reshman year Plane, Solid and Spherical Geometry and Conic Sections are taught. The text used is W e n tw o r th ’s. Careful attention is given to the demonstration of theorems, in order to train the students in accurate and exact methods o f reasoning. A large
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. numb e r o f original exercises are given in order to cultivate the power of ap p ly in g principles and methods already learned, and to aid the studen t in the mastery o f his own resources. In the Sophomo re ye a r P la n e and Spherical T rigonometry are ta u g h t d u ring the first term. Su rv ey in g and Navigation d u ring the second. A thorough study of the essential principles of this subject is required, and a large numbe r o f exercises and examples are given in order to cultivate skill in a p p ly ing p rinc iples. E nough a tte n tio n is given to su rvey ing and navigation to make the studen t familiar with the principles and computations. Th e general methods of land and w a te r surveys and the laying out of railway curves are taugh t. Loomis’ text is used. In the first p a rt of the J u n io r year Analytical Geometry is required. T h is is intended as an introduction to the study o f H ig h e r Mathematics. It is all impo rtan t to a tho rough educ a tion ; w ithou t it a studen t is igno ran t of even the processes of th ough t o f the mathema tic ian o f his day. A g e n eral tre a tm en t is given of the Po in t, the S tra ig h t Line, the C ir cle, th e Parabo la, the Hyperbo la and the E llip se ; also a discussion of the General Equation of the Second Degree, and a few o f the H ig h e r Plane Curves. Loomis’ text is used. T h is is followed by an elementary study of the two branches o f Calcu lu s— Differential and Integral. U n d e r the former is given a careful tre a tmen t of the differentiation of all functions, expansion of functions in series, max ima and minima of fun c tions o f a single variable. Numerou s examples illustrative of these principles are introduced. In the In teg ra l Calculus the follow ing subjects are treated : E lem en ta ry forms of In teg ration , In teg ra tion of Ra tiona l Func tion s, In teg ration of Irrational Func tion s, In teg ra tio n by series, etc. Loomis’ text is used in this also, and numerous examples are introduced illu strating all of these principles. M E N T A L S C I E N C E . P o r te r ’s E lem en ts of Intellectual Science is the text-book. It is c om p le te d d u ring the first tw o terms o f the J u n io r Collegiate year.

C E D A R Y I L L S COL LEGE 26 tein. The topics studied and discussed are Psychology and its relations to other Sciences, the Soul and its relations to Matter, the Human Intellect under the headings of Presentation and Presentative Knowledge, Though t and T hough t Know ledge, and Intuitions. The study o f Psychology “ promotes self-knowledge and moral culture, disciplines to moral reflection, trains to the knowledge of human nature, is indispensable to educators, creates the study of literature ” and impels to general scientific research. It is the parent of all sciences. Upon it are based political, social, legal, icsthetic, theological, metaphysical and physiological studies. Even those branches th a t deal with the phenomena of the material world exclusively must make their final appeal to psychology before they can be stamped with the seal of truth. E T H IC S A N D C H R I S T I A N S C IE N C E S . The whole Senior year is spent in the study of Moral Science and Apologetics from theoretical and practical standpoints. Essays are required and class discussion is encouraged. Both ancient and modern systems of philosophy are investigated. The course is pursued by the recitation and lecture method. Th e student is constantly urged to search present history and appeal to the data of moral consciousness. G rego ry ’s Christian Ethics is the text in Moral Science and F ishe r’s Apologetics is the text in Evidences o f Christianity and Natu ral Theology. The subjects o f study in Apologetics are the Genuineness and Authen ticity of the Scriptures, Th e Superiority of Christianity, The Inspiration of the Scriptures, The Na tu re of God aud Ilis Existence. Moral Science presents the following themes : The N a tu re of the Moral Agen t, Th e Na tu re of Virtue, Freedom of Will, Conscience, Duties to God and to Man. No education is complete without a knowledge of the topics just named. H IS T O R Y A N D M Y T H O L O G Y . Th e course in History comprises U. S. Historv, General History, History of Europe and Sacred History. U. S. History is studied as a review, the student being sup-

General H istory extends through two te rm s—Myers’ being th e text-book. Th e Ph ilosophy of Causes and Effects in History is freely discussed in connection w ith the relation of the facts themselves. T h e H isto ry of E u r o p e is mainly philosophical, dealing w ith the g re a t social movemen ts tha t have affected Eu rop e an affairs d u ring the last five centuries. Sacred H isto ry deals w ith a detailed discussion of the historical facts o f the Bible, together w ith con tempo raneou s events o f the su rro u n d in g pagan nations. My thology of Greece and Rome is placed in the J u n io r P rep a ra to ry year for the purpose of more profitable reading in the L a tin and Greek classics. E N G L I S H . English studies are given a prom inen t place in the cu rricu lum. T h e y begin in the J u n io r P rep a ra to ry year and are carried more or less th roughou t the whole course of six ye ars’ study. In th e J u n io r P rep a ra to ry ye a r Reed and Kellogg’s Graded Lessons in H ig h e r Eng lish is the text book in g rammar. This consists of wo rk in diag ram , analysis, punc tua tion , ab ridg ing , composition, parsing, synthesis and rules of syntax. Th e best writers of Eng lish and American L ite ra tu re are read, studied and commented upon. In this work the studen t is taugh t to th ink for himself, and a taste for reading the best literature is developed. L arge p o r tions of each au tho r studied are required to be committed to memory, and essays are w ritte n on each book as it is finished. S h aw ’s L ite ra tu re is used as the guide in study. A f te r comp le ting the English Course o f the P rep a ra to ry D e p a r tm e n t the studen t is ready for advanced work in Rhe to ric a n d Composition. Ac co rd ing ly H a r t’s text is taken up at the

A f te r the completion of Hart, G enung ’s Practical Elements is begun, and the student is introduced to a wider view of the subject, l i e is led to the actual construction of literature, finer principles of literary taste, and the subtler music of rytlim. Style, Diction, Figures o f Speech, Composition, I n vention, Ap titude and Habits, Though t, Objects, Narration , Generalization, Argumen tation and Persuasion are taken up separately and studied at length. A long w ith the Practical Elements, Genung ’s Handbook of Rhetorical Analysis is used. This is designed to alternate from time to time with the P ra c tical Elements. The student is next introduced to the S tudy of Wo rd s by Trench as revised by Suplee. This subject is taken up with discussions on the Origin of Words, Poetry, Morality, History, and Prophecy in Words, as well as the Rise, Distinction, and Correct Use o f Words. It is introductory to Logic, the next and final study of the English course. J e v o n ’s-Hill’s text in Logic is used, and much stress and time are pu t upon the Syllogism, Fallacies, Induction, Deduction and practical ex amples. P O L I T I C A L A N D S O C I A L S C IE N C E . In this era of government building, political change, and Republican tendencies, no student can afford to deprive himself of a thorough education in the History and Na tu re of our own and other nations, Economics, Law, and Sociology. Ou r course begins with the study of Home and Foreign history and the study of Ou r Government in particular as presented by Macy. He re the preparatory student is taught how our nation grew , what it does, and how it does it. The distinctive principles of our R e public are laid down, compared and contrasted with other

Th ro u g h o u t the whole book the stud en t is impressed, among other things, with the one though t of the ha rmony of n a tu re and how the footsteps of God may be traced by a believing student. G ra y ’s Botany is introduced in the Sen io r P re p a ra to ry ye a r It is illustrated by specimens of flora selected from the immed ia te vicinity, and thus the s tud en t is trained to original search. Th e country a round Cedarville abounds in beautiful flora, especially the roman tic cliffs, known far and near for their beau tifu l scenery and curious geological specimens.
30 C ED A RV I L L E COLLEGE In the Sophomore year Remsen's Briefer Course in Ch em istry is taken up and completed in two terms. A full line o f apparati has been provided for this departmen t and laboratory work will be conducted in the basement of the College. The third edition of Remsen is used. It presents the Atomic Theory, the Periodic Law , Systematic S tudy of the Elements, and Classification of the Elements in accordance with the Periodic Law , as well as Common Compounds of Carbon, Qualitative Analysis and the Metallic Elements. These topics are discussed in a dd ition to other subjects usually found in text-books on chemistry. Th ree hours in the week will be given to laboratory work and two to instruction. Olmsted’s College Philosophy is studied in the Senior year. This is an extensive, thorough and systematic treatise on Physics.
