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 col­ leges, 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 conse­ quen 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.
