(1 <'edarriUc <'<>lle(/<•. HISTORY. CE D A R V IL L E C O L L E G E \v:is chartered by the state o f Ohio ^ in January 1887, and it was opened for instruction Wednesday, September lit, LSil4. During the first year the College occupied the line old mansion house, in which an academy was conducted bv Dr. Hugh McMillan over a third o f a century ago. The accommodations, however, were not sufficient for the needs o f the second year, so the Trustees erected the large new building on the site purchased several years before. Both the building and the campus are the generous gifts o f friends. : t is appropriate here to mention the long to be remembered gift of William Gibson, Esq., o f Cincinnati, who bequeathed $25.01)0 for the endowment fund. For this and various smaller contributions too numerous to mention, the authorities o f the College are deeply grateful. Though young, the College has already exerted a lasting and widely felt influence. Its students and graduates have taken prominent places in Seminaries, in the Senior classes o f Universities like that o f Pennsylvania and in post graduate work o f Universities. The College includes four departments, the Classical, the Philosophical. the Musical, and the Elocution These embrace students from most of the North Central and Middle States and prepare them suitably for the leading professions, and for advanced standing in Eastern Universities. GENERAL INFORMATION. N EW COLLEGE BUI LDING' The new College Building stands in a campus containing over nine acres, well graded, and beautifully located on the main street, north end o f Cedarville. The erection o f the building was begun in the Spring o f 1895 and completed late in the Autumn o f the same year. However it has been occupied throughout the whole o f the past four years for collegiate purposes. It is a handsome building o f pressed brick and cut stone, the plans and specifications o f which
( ’I'darrille <'o/let/e. were made by James Iv. Turner, o f New York City- The basement contains a gymnasium room, a chemical room, toilet rooms, coal cellars and the heating apparatus. On the lirst floor are four class rooms, the chapel and the President’s room, besides the main and side entrance corridors. On the second floor are four class rooms, a large lecture room, and tiie library. Two large society rooms occupy th- entire third floor Two wide and gently ascending stairways, one mi each side of the building, lend from the basement to the third s'oiv The building is equipped throughout with electric wires. It is surmounted hv a hell tower. Tln-re ate entrances on each o f the four sides Standing in the center o f th campus mi the highest site o f Ccdarville, the building presents an attractive and imposing appea ranee. LOCATION OF CEDARV1LLE Cedarville, Ohio, the seat of Cedafviile College, is located on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, (the Little .Miami Division. 1 It has direct communication by telephone, telegraph and railroad with Xenia, eight miles southwest; Springfield, twelve miles moth; London, twenty miles nortln ast; Columbus foiw - seveti miles northeast, and Cincinnati, seventy-three miles southwest. It is in the center o f the Miami Valley, and is one • I the prettiest as well as the most healthful locations in Ohio— free from malaria. The country lying about Cedar.villc is level, futile, improved a d in every wav suited fora pleasant residence. Any who have children to educate "id wish to he with then! during their college life can find no prettier region and no better society than in this community, in addition to many other advantages gonerallv s night for by the enterpri-ing and i nlnstri ns L IBRARY AND MUSEUM. The Pacuity and students have nrgani/.ed a Reading ( ircle, which receives regularly the leading magazines and periodicals. The library is well supplied with the latest works in History. Biography, Science, Philosophy. Law, Letters, Fiction, Theology,
8 ( 'edur ri / le Co//eye. and References including two o f the. latest and fullest Encyclopedias. It is free to all students. Students also may have the use of the town library by the payment of a small fee. A number o f valuable curiosities from different portions of this country, Europe and Asia have been collected and form a nucleus for a museum. Persons having in their possession curiosities o f animal or geological formation are hereby earnestly requested to contribute them to the College museum and thus help us to the completion of our collection. LECTURES AND ENTERTA I NMENTS . Cedarvdle is the happy possessor o f a large and heautilol opera house. During the part o f the college year just expired, the students have heard and seen the Boston Star Quartette, Bvron King, J. C. Ambrose, the Yitnscope Company, besides Mtisicalcs, Cant das, the Gibson Pictures and others o f a high order too numerous to mention. Tile Lecture course o f the coming year wd! exed tiiat o a iv previous year. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES. There are six flout i.-hing churches in town— Methodist Episcopal, Cnited Presbyterian, Reformed. Presbyterian (Synod), Reformed Presbyterian (General Synod), lh.plist and A . M. E. Each of thise churclt.es maintains a young people’s prayer meeting once a week. On each Wednesday morning the students conduct a college prayer meeting, which nil tin- suidenls are required to attend. This meeting is held in the cliapil in the ptcscncc o f the Faculty Ninety eight per i tml. of the stude Is in attendance this year are professing Christians. A ll students are expect d and inquired to attend the eiimch designated by their parents, who are requested to send their written wishes as to what church their children shall attend This is the only college in Greene county under Presbyterian influence. The enticements to sin, so plentiful in large cities and over-crowded colleges, are not found here.
C i'tlarril/r CoUetje. !) SPECIAL ADVANTAGE Cedurville ('"liege makes no pretension to do the work o f a University. It is content Intake its place with the smaller Colleges o f the land But it does promise its patrons to do well and thoroughly whatever it claims to do. A College course is not in itself an education. It only opens the doors o f a liberal education for the student. It is a beginning, not an end. And this beginning, we claim to be able to furnish. A University may have hundreds o f teachers in its faculty, thousands o f volumes in its library and the most costly apparatus and extensive laboratories. But the student will c one into contact with only a few of the Professors, read a few o f tin1books, use a few o f the appliance.- A ll these he may lind here. The small colleges have done and are doing a great work. They have educated men eminent in Theology. Law, Medicine, Presidents, Judges, Senators. Nor are these cases exceptional. It will be found that a much larger per cent of the products o f smaller colleges are successful in life than the products of the larger colleges. It is no uncommon tiling to lind 90 per cent, o f the products ol a small college entering the ministry, the reason is apparent— a student who habitually neglects or shirks hi- wort cannot get through mil a student who is living a ‘ fast’ or vicious life cannot slay in one o f these small colleges. Agnostics infideles or men who indulge in or tolerate drinking are not found as teachers. The Professorsaie generally consecrated Christians. A ll this is true of C'edarvrllc College. The Profi ssots are energetic, capable and sympathetic. They are brought into personal contact with the student daily in the class and out of the class. The classes are small so that students are obliged to n cite several times during each hour No student can slight work for one dav without the fact being apparent to the Professors.

•2u Cedarville College. THE COURSES OFSTUDY. CLASSICAL AND PHI LOSOPHICAL . Two courses o f study are offered— the Classical Course leading to the degree o f Bachelor o f Arts and the Philosophical Course leading to the degree o f Bachelor o f Philosophy. The object o f these courses is to give the student a high and modern collegiate education. Graduates from either course can enter at an advanced standing in higher colleges and universities. Several members o f our Board of Trustees are graduates o f Eastern Universities, and will he pleased to assist the faithfui and aspiring student to proper standing in Eastern Universities. The President o f the College is a local Examiner for the University o f Pennsylvania, and will he glad to recommend to that institution any worthy students o f Cedarville College who may desire to take an advanced standing or a special University course. CLASSICAL DEPARTMENT . In the Classical Department there are daily recitations in all classes. This course consists of teaching and lectures in 11istory, Philosophy, Mathematics, Latin, Greek, Rhetoric, English Language and
Cetlarville <' dIIc . i / c ,. Literature, Natural Science, Mental and Moral Science, Logic, Political Science and Ancient Literature. Its aim is to give the student a broad, practical knowledge o f the highest mental, moral and spiritual character. PHI LOSOPHICAL COURSE. The Philosophical Course is the same as the Classical Course with the exception o f Greek, for which German and Philosohienl History are substituted. The aim o f this course is to accommodate some who prefer German t >Greek It is equal in length with the Classical Course. OPT IONAL STUDIES. No election o f studies is permitted until the student reaches the Senior Collegiate year. In the Senior vent the student may elect, with the aid o f the faculty, either Natural Science or French or Hebrew. Experience o f the past as well as o f the present abundantly proves that the College Curriculum o f studies diligently pursued will produce better results than an Optional Course. - DEPARTMENTS OF STUDY LAT I N LANGUAGE AND L I TERATURE Special attention is given to pronunciation,(the Homan method is used), syntax, mythology, history and philology. The principles of the grammer must be thoroughly mastered; with the reading o f the
('<•(la rrillr Col!eye. required course there is a constant, thorough drill o f parsing, analysis, eompurison and compo.-ition. A graded and systematic course in prose composition is begun in the .Junior Preparatory year, and extends to the Freshman Collegiate ye .r The L itin course extends through twelve lull terms, and in the last term each student in Latin will he required to prepare a thesis upon s >me subject assigned by Ins professor. First Year.— The lirst two terms are devoted to .loots’ Latin Lessons, accompanied by the Grammar. In this time the student is expected to master the inflections, and to lay gent ral foundations for the profitable reading o f Latin. The third term’s work consists if C'scsar and Composition. Second Year.— 'Jhe first term includes the more rapid reading ot Caesar, and the mastery o f sentence toiler. The second and third terms are spent on Vergil’s .Entitl, with special attention to Mvthol ogv, Prosody, ami Syntax. Prose composition is made a prominent feature throughout the year. In the Freshman year Cicero’s Orations against Catiline and Horace’s Otles, Epodes ami Satires are studied. Great care has been exercised to select the best texts in these studies. The work is progressive, anti the student’s mind is directed to Homan History, Oratory, Mythology and Poetry. Much ot the time is taken tip in Word Analysis, Pronunciation and Syntax. Close familiarity with S c a n ning and tlic rules o f Poetry is required During the year the student is required to prepare Essays on the different topics o f study and thus is taught to convey to others in his own language anil thoughts w h a t he learns in the class-room.
Cedarinlle <'oller/e. The Sophomore year presents additional study in History and Satire. Courses are pursued in L ivy. Tacitus and Juvenal. The transition from the golden to the silv r age o f Latin Literature is dwelt upon and the differences o f idioms are closely investigated. Rhetorical analysis forms much o f the year’s work and the decline o f the Roman Empire is studied from a philosophical standpoint. GREEK LANGUAGE AND L I TERATURE The Greek course begins in the Senior Preparatory year. During this year White’s Beginners’ Greek Rook is used. In the latter part o f this work one term is spent on the Anabasis and Prose Composition, in which there is a cousin't drill upon the principles o f syntax and the uses of prepositions. During the first two terms minute attention is given to pronunciation, accent, diacritical marks, grammatical constructions and paradigms, hv the daily Iranslatnn of Greek into English and English into Greek. From the verv begin ning the student is ret]uired to store away a vocabulary according to the most natural memory method. Twelve hundred words at least are committed to memory in the Senior Preparatory year. The Greek course extends throughout twelve full terms, at the end o f which each student o f the course will he required to prepare a thesis upon some subject assigned bv the professor o f the department. The Freshman work in Greek-is taken from continued study in the Anabasis. Harper and Wallace’s text is used; and History, the uses o f prepositions, new winds, word-analysis, participles, clauses o f purpose and result, and the Greek army are closely studied. In the
i!l Cedarville Collei/c. second term Homer’s Iliad is read. The student becomes acquainted with the archaic forms o f the lauguage and the rules o f prosody. Especially is Mythology dwell upon and a thorough knowledge o f the customs and rites o f the Homeric days is required. The Homeric question is discussed ami the work is studied both from a syntactic and allegorical point o f view. During the third term the Prometheus Bound o! /Esehylus is read. The metre, mythology, style, peculiar forms and expressions o f the work, together with Mrs. Browning’s translation are carefully studied. The Greek o f the Sophomore year consists o'’ one term in Memorabilia and two terms in Plato’s Apology and Crito. The Memorabilia is made an i- trod action to the study ot Plato. Special drill is given to the uses ol participles. The life and teachings o f Socrates are examined in a historical and philosophical light. The Apology and Crito continue the study o f Socrates and his methods. Much time is devoted to Grecian philosophy The Junior year o f Greek includes two terms in Demosthenes’ Corona and one term in the New Testament The Corona o f Demosthenes is pursued until the student is made familiar with Grecian Oratory and the ancient methods o f Rhetoric. The New Testament Greek furnishes work in the study o f the Scriptures in the original. The peculiar meanings o f words, the aorist tense, and doctrines form the basis o f work in this study. It is especially worthy o f notice that Greek Prose Composition commences in the Senior Preparatory year and continues to the Soph
Cedarville College. omore year. Our course in Greek is systematic, extensive and thorough, and no student who desires a real Classical training should fail o f the opportunity we offer. GERMAN. The importance o f German as a college study has greatly increased during the last few years. It athirds extensive grounds for the philologist. Over fitly per cent, o f the words in the English language come directly from the German. Consequently, a good knowledge of the English language necessitates a good knowledge o f German In the scientific world, the researches and discoveries o f German philosophers constitute a great part. This explains why German is one ol the requirements for enteritis' a scientific course at the great universities. Moreover, the last hundrul years has witnessed a great revival o f German writers— in fact, a golden age o f German literature. This affords a great incentive to classical students. German is the characteristic or the Philosophical course, embracing three years as follows: First Year.— Collar’s Evsenbach’s German Lesson's is taught the whole year. The student i« thoroughly grounded in the principles of the language— the mastery o f inflections, the distinctions of auxiliaries and tlit securing o f a vocabulary. Second Year. — The first term is devoted to drill in the translation o f Joynes’ German Reader. 1’he second and third terms contain two masterpieces o f German authois— Schiller’s “ Tell” and Goethes “ Faust " The reading is interspersed with composition.
Cedarville Coller/c. 2<; Third Y ear.— The third year contains a descriptive sketch, a novel and a play, containing the best classic efforts o f German writers o f the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. FRENCH. French is one o f the three electives o f the Senior year. It comprises French lesson for two terms and reading in the third. The text-hooks are Van Daell’s Introduction in French and the French Header. French is of considerable importance in scientific and literary lines, and is steadily increasing in demand. HEBREW Students intending to enter a theological seminary should lie somewhat familiar with Hebrew. This has been provided for in the Senior year as an elective. The text-hooks. Harper’s Introductory Method and 'lanual, and Harper’s Elements o f Hebrew, are studied until the student has attained a good vocabulary and or.inunciatiun, and can read readily Exercises from Hebrew into English, and from English into Hebrew are required daily MATHEMAT ICS The course in Mathematics is systematic and thorough, extending through the Sophomore year. In the Preparatory Department the study o f Algebra is taken up in the Junior year, and completed in the first term o f the Senior year. The text used, is Bowser’s (iollege Algebra; it is intended for those who have had snue previous work in Algebra, but with faithful work a beginner could enter this clas*. The work of the first two terms extends through Quadratic Equations; the third and fourth terms are given up to a careful study o f those principles o f Algebra which find their application in Higher Mathematics.
