a CedarviUc ('olleye. HISTORY. EDARVILLE COLLEGE was chartered by the stale of Ohio in January 1887, and it was opened for instruction Wednesday. Sept. 19, 1894. During the first year the College occupied the tine old mansion house, in which an academy was conducted by Dr. Hugh McMillan over a th'rd of a century ago. The accomodations, however, were not sufficient for the needs of the second year,so the Tiustees erected the largenew building on the site purchased several years before. Both the building.and the campus are the generous gifts of friends. It is appropriate hereto mention the long to be rememberedgiftof William Gibson, Esq.,of Cincinnati, who bequeathed $25,000 for the endowment fund. For this and various smaller contributions too numerous to mention, the authorities of 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 of Universities like that of Pennsylvania and in post graduate work of Universities. The college includes four departments, the Classical, the Philosophical, the Musical, and the Elocution. The seeuibrace students from most of the North Central and Middle states, and prepare them suitably lor the leading professions, and for advanced standing in Eastern Universities. The new College Building stands in a campus containing over nine acres, well graded, and beautifully located ou the main street, north end of Cedarvilie. The erection of the building was begun in the Spring of 189b, and completed NEW COLLEGE BUILDING.
(,'fihi i ci/lr ('nUiijv. late in the Autumn of the same year. However it has been occupied throughout the whole of the past live* years for collegiate purposes. It is a handsome building of pressed briclc and cut stone, the plans and specifications of which were made by James R. Turner, of New York City. The basement contains a gymnasium room, a chemical room, toilet rooms, coal cellars and the heating apparatus. On the first floor are four class rooms, the chapel and the President's office, besides the main and side entrance corridors. On the second floor are four class rooms, a large lecture room, and the library. Two large society rooms occupy the entire third floor. Two wide and gently ascending stairways, one on each side of the building, lead from the basement to the third story. The building is equipped throughout with electric wires. It is surmounted by a bell tow-er. There are entrances on each of the four sides. Standing in the center of the campus on the highest site of Cedarville, the building presents an attractive and imposing appearance. LOCATION OF CEDARVILLE. Cedarville, Ohio, the seal of Cedarville College, is located ou the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway (the little Miami Division). It has direct communication by telephone, telegraph and railroad with Xenia, eight miles south-west; Springfield, t-welve miles north; London, twenty miles north-east; Coluubus, forty-seven miles northeast and Cincinnati, seventy-three miles south-west. It is in th(> center of the Maimi Valley, and is one of the most beautiful and healthful locations in Old')— free from malaria, The country lying about Cedarville is level, fertile, improved, and in every way suited for a pleasant residence. Any who have children to educate, and wish to be with them during their college life, can find no finer region and no better society than in this community,in addition to many other advantages generally sought for by the enterprising and industrious.
8 CedarviHe College. LIBRARY AND MUSEUM. The Faculty and students have organized a reading circle, which receives regular.v the leading magazines and periodicals. The library is well supplied with the latest works in History, Biography, Science, Philosophy, Law, Letters, Fiction,Theology and References,including two of 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 of valuable curiosities from the different portions of this country, Europe and Asia, have been collected, and form a nucleus for the museum Persons having in their possession curiosities of animal (if 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 ENTERTAINMENTS. Cedarville is the happy possessor of a beautiful and commodious opera house. Du ring the past, the best talent of our own and other countries have.appeared on its stage. It will be the purpose of the College in connection with the town, to have representative performances and lectures in the opera house, in addition to the monthly lectures in the College chapel. The lecture course the past year has been the most popular yet. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES. Thereare six flourishing churches in town—Methodist. Episcopal, United Presbyterian, Reformed Presbyterian (Synod), Reformed Presbyterian (General Synod), Baptist and A. M. E. Each of these churches maintains a young people’s prayer-meeting once a week. Ninety-tive per cent, of the students in attendance this year are professing Christians. All students are expected and required to attend the church designated by their parents, who are requested to send their written wishes as to what church their children
(!edarviHe College. !/ shall attend. This is the only college in Greene county under Presbyterian influence. The enticements to sin, so plentiful iu large cities and overcrowded colleges, are not found here. SPECIAL ADVANTAGE . Cedarville College makes no pretension to do the work of a university. It is content to take its place with the smaller colleges of the land. But it does promise its patrons to do well and thoroughly whatever it claims to do. A college course is not iu itself an education. It only opens the doors of 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 of teachers iu its faculty, thousands of volumes in its library, and the most costly apparatus and extensive laboratories. But the student will come into contact with only a few of the Professors, read a few of the books, use a few of the appliances. All these he may find 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 students of smaller colleges are successful in life than of the larger colleges. It is no uncommon thing to find 90 per cent, of the graduates of a small college entering the ministry. The reason is apparent — a student who habitually neglects or shirks his work can not get through, and a student who is living a fast and vicious life cannot stay in one of these small colleges. A g nostics, infidels or men who indulge in or tolerate drinking are not found as teachers. The Professors are generally consecrated Christians. All this is true of Cedarville College. The Professors are energetic, capable and sympathetic. They are brought into personal contact with the student dailv in the class and out of the class. The classes are small so that students are obliged to recite several times during each hour. No student can slight work for one day without the fact being apparent to the Professors.
10 Ceilarvilte College. SPECIAL RULES AND STATEMENTS. L. The President of the College and the Professors are styled the Faculty. 2. Every student enrolled as a member of a certain class shall take the studies of that class, unless excused by the President. 3. No student shall be allowed to discontinue any study without express permission from.the President. 4. High Schools and Academic Grades will be received for the Preparatory Department only. Only college grades and certificates will be received in the College Department. 5. Payment of dues shall be made the first day. No student will be enrolled in any class or recognized in any recitation until he has paid his dues or made satisfactory arrangement with tne treasurer for them. 6 . All students are required to be punctual and regular in their attendance at Chapel, college prayer meeting, recitations and all other exercises of the College. 7. Students are graded daily on recitations, punctuality and general deportment. Examinations are held at the close of each term in studies pursued during the term. 8 . Students’ punctuality and deportment are included in the recitation grade. The recitation grade combined with the examination grade and divided by two gives the average in any one study. The passing grade is 65 per cent. The general average of the class averages for any one term constitutes the grade of that term. 9. Punishments for violation of college law, abuse of privileges, or destruction of property, shall be inflicted, as the cases may be, by admonition, suspension, dismission, or expulsion. 10 . Punctual attendance is required on the first day. Failure to be present results seriously to class standing.
('(•(IllI'Oil/f <'nilrile. II New students are requested to present themselves, if p o s sible, at least one day before the opening of a term. 11. The fee for examinations given by request at any other time than designated by the calendar, is s i .00 prepaid. 12. At the close of each term, statments with reference to the students’ standing in classes, scholarship, attendance and deportment will be forwarded for examination to the parents or guardians. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION . Any one who desires to enter either the Preparatory or Collegiate Department should read carefully the Special Rules and Statements, should examine the Courses of Study in the Preparatory and Collegiate Departments, with the Review of the Departments of Study, and the following Statements. AGE. I. As a general rule, no student will be admitted to the Freshman Class unless fifteen years of age; nor will any one be admitted to advanced standing without corresponding increase of age Under this rule students should be at least thirteen years of age for admission to the Junior Preparatory year. CO-EDUCATION. II Experience has proven that the sexes should be educated together. It tends to higher culture, more refined tastes, and better order than where this privilege is not granted. Accordingly students of both sexes are admitted under the rule adopted in 1894. ENROLLMENT AND CERTIFICATES . III. \n applicant for admission to the Preparatory Departmentor to the Collegiate Department shalltile with the President of the College on or before the opening day of theautumn term,September 12,1900, a certificate from his or her princi-

20 CedarviUe College. THE COURSES OF STUDY. CLASSICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL. Two courses of study are offered— the Classical Course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts and the Philosophical Course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. The object of these courses is to give the student a high and modern collegiate education. Graduates from either cou rse can enter at an advanced standing in higher colleges and universities. Several members of our Board of Trustees are graduates of Eastern Universities, and will be pleased to assist the faithful and aspiring student to a proper standing in Eastern Universities. The President of the College is a local Examiner for the University of Pennsylvania, and will be glad to recommend to that institution any worthy students of CedarviUe 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. The course consists of teaching and lectin es in History, Philosophy, Mathematics, Latin, Greek, Rhetoric, English Language and Literature, Natural Science, Mental and Moral Science, Logic, Political Science and Ancient Literature. Its aim is to give the student a broad, practical knowledge of the highest mental, moral and spiritual character. PHILOSOPHICAL COURSE. The Philosophical Course is the same as the Classical Course with the exception of Greek, for which German and Philosophical History are substituted. The aim of this course is to accommodate some who prefer German to Greek. It is equal in length to the Classical Course.
Cedurville College. 21 OPTIONAL STUDIES. No election of studies is permitted until the student reaches the Senior Collegiate year. In the Senior year the student shall elect with the aid of the faculty, History, Natural Science, 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. LAT IN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. 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 of parsing, analysis, comparison and composition. A graded and systematic course in prose composition is begun in the Junior Preparatory year and extends to the Freshman Collegiate year. The 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 the professor. First Year.—The first two terms aie devoted to .Tones' 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.—The first term includes the more rapid readingof Caesar,and the mastery of sentence order. The second and third terms are spent on Vergil's /Eneid, with special attention to Mythology, Prosody and Syntax. Prose Composition is made a prominent, feature throughout the year. Third Year.— In the Freshman year Cicero's orations againstCatiline and Horace's Odes Epodes and Satires are studied. G r e a t care has been exercised to select the best texts in these studies. The work is progressive, and the student's mind is directed to Roman History, Oratory, Mythology and Poetry. Much of the time is taken up in Word An
>) CedarvUle College. alysis, Pronunciation and Syntax. Close familiarity with scanning and the rules of Poetry is required. During the year the student is required to prepare Essays on the different topics of study and is thus taught to convey to others in his own language and thoughts what he learns in the classroom . Fourth Year.—The Soph more year presents additional study in History and Satire. Courses are pursued in Livy Tacitus and Juvenal. The transition from the golden to the silver age of Latin Literature is dwelt upon and the differences of idioms are closely investigated. Rhetorical analysis forms much of the year’s work and the decline of the Roman Empire is studied from a philosophical standpoint. GREEK LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE. First Year.—The Greek course begins in the Senior Preparatory Year. During this year White’s First Greek Book is used. In the latter part of this work one term is spent on the Anabasis and Prose Composition, in which there is a constant drill upon the principles of syntax and the uses of prepositions. During the first two terms minute attention is given to pronunciation, accent, diacritical marks, grammatical constructions and paradigms, by the daily translation of Greek into English and English into Greek. From the very beginning the student is required 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 of which each student of the course will be required to prepare a thesis upon some subject assigned by the professor of the department. Second Year.—The Freshman work in Greek is taken from continued study in the Anabasis. Harper aud Wallace's text is used. History, the uses of prepositions, new words, word - analysis, participles, clauses of purpose and result, and the Greek army are closely studied.
( 'editrvil/e <’ollerje. In the second term Homer’s Iliad is read The student becomes acquainted with the archaic forms of the language and the rules of prosody. Especially is Mythology dwelt upon and a thorough knowledge of the customs and rites of the Homeric days is required. The Homeric question is discussed and the work is studied both from a syntactic and allegorical point of view. During the third term of the Freshman year selections from the history of Herodotus are read. Peculiarities of dialect and style are impressed and compared. Third Year.— The Greek of the Sophomore year consists of one term in Memorabilia and two ter ins jn Plato’s Apology and Crito. The Memorabilia is made an introduction to the study of Plato. Special drill is given on the use of participles. The life and teachings of Socrates are examined in a historical and philosophical light. The Apology and Crito continue the study of Socrates and his methods. Much time is devoted to Grecian Philosophy. Fourth Year.— The Junior Year of Greek includes two terms in Demosthenes’ Corona and one term in Prometheus Bound. The Corona of Demosthenes is pursued until the student is made familiar with Grecian Oratory and the ancient methods of Rhetoric. During the third term the Prometheus Bound of /Eschylus is read. The metre, mythology, style, peculiar forms and expressions of the work, together with Mrs. Browning's translation, are carefully studied. It is especially worthy of notice that Greek Prose Composition commences in the Senior Preparatory year and continues to the Sophomore year. Our course in Greek is sy s tematic, extensive and thorough, and no student who desires a real Classical training should fail of the opportunity we offer. GERMAN. The importance of German as a college study has greatly increased during the last few years. If affords extensive
Cedurville College. n grounds for the philologist. Over fifty per cent, of the words in the English language come directly from the German. Consequently, a good knowledge of the English language necessitates a good knowledge of German. In the scientific world, the researches and discoveries of German philosophers constitute a great part. This explains why German is one of the requirements for entering a scientific course at the great universities. Moreover, the last hundred years have witnessed a great revival of German writers— in fact, a golden age of German literature. This affords a great incentive to classical students. German is the characteristic of the Philosophical course, embracing three years as follows: First Year—Collar1's Eysenbach’s German Lessous is taught the whole year. The student is thoroughly grounded in the principles of the language— the mastery of inflections, the distinctions of auxiliaries and the securing of a vocabulary Second Year.—The first term is devoted to drill in the translation of Joynes’ German Reader. The second and third terms contain two masterpieces of German authors— Schiller’s “Tell” and Goethe’s “Faust.” The reading is interspersed with composition. Third Year. The third year contains a descriptive sketch, a novel and a play, containing the best classic efforts of German writers of the eighteenth and nineteeth centuries. FRENCH. French is one of the three electives of the Senior year It comprises French lessons for two terms and reading in the third. The Text-books are Van Daell's Introduction in French and the French Reader. 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 be somewhat familiar with Hebrew. This has been provided
Ccdarvilie <lollec/e. 2r, for in the Senior year as an elective. The text-books, Harper’s Introductory Method and Manual, and Harper’s Elements of Hebrew, are studied until the student has attained a good vocabulary and pronunciation, and can read readily. Exercises from Hebrew into English, and from English into Hebrew are required daily. MATHEMATICS. The course in Mathematics is systematic and thorough, extending through the Sophomore year. In the Preparatory Department the study of Algebra is taken up in the Junior year, and completed in the first term of the Senior year. The text used is Wentworth’s Elements of Algebra. The work of the first two terms extends through Quadratic Equations; the third and fourth terms are given up to a careful study of those principles of Algebra which find their application in Higher Mathematics. During the Senior year, Plane, Solid and Spherical Geometry are taught. The text used is Wentworth’s. Careful attention is given to the demonstiation of theorems, in order to train the students in accurate and exact methods of reasoning. A large number of original exercises are given in order to cultivate the power of applying principles and methods already learned, and to aid the student in the mastery of his own resources. Conic Sections is studied in the Fall term of the Freshman year. In the Freshman year, Plane and Spherical Trigonometry is taught during the second term. Surveying and Navigation during the third. A thorough study of the essential principles of this subject is required, and a large number of ex ercises and examples are given in order to cultivate skill in ap plying principles. Enough attention is given to Surveying and Navigation to make the student familiar with the principles and computations. The general methods of land and water survevs and the laying out of railway curves are taught. Loomis' text is used.
In the first part of the Sophomore year, Analytical Geometry is required. This is intended as an introduction to the study of higher Mathematics. It is all important to a thorough education; without it a student is ignorant of even the process of thought of the mathematician of h's day. A general treatment is given of the Point, the Straight Line, the Circle, the Parabola, the Hyperbola and the Ellipse; also a discussion of the General Equation of the Second Degree, and a few of the Higher Plane Curves. Loomis’ text is used. This is followed by an elementary study of the two branches of Calculus—Differential and Integral. Under the former is given a careful treatment of the differentiation of all functions, expansion of functions in series, maxima and minima of functions of a single variable. Numerous examples illustrative of these principles are introduced. In the Integral Calculus the following subjects are treated: Elementary forms of Integration, Integration of Rational Functions, Integration of Irrational Functions, Integration by series, etc. Loomis’ text is used in this also, and numerous examples are introduced illustrating all of these principles. MENTAL SCIENCE. Porter’s Elements of Intellectual Science is the text-book. It is completed during the first two terms of the Junior Collegiate 3ear. The instruction is by the recitation and lecture system. The topics studied and discussed are Psy chology and its relations toother Sciences, the Soul and ils relation to Matter, the Human Intellect under the headings of Presentation and Presentative Knowledge, Representation, Thought and Thought Knowledge, and Intuitions. The study of 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, aesthetic, theological, metaphys ical and physiological studies. Even those branches that

28 Cedarville College. aim is to teach facts of history in such a way as to benefit those who study it, and lead them to high ideas and practices of citizenship. The History of Philosophy is the study of the development of leading universal thought. By indicating the growth of thought and theory it opens avenues to the widest fields of philosophical research. Mythology of Greece and Rome is placed in the Senior Preparatory year for the purpose of more profitable reading in Latin and Greek classics. ENGLISH. English studies are given a prominent place in the curriculum. They begin in the Preparatory year, and are carried more or less throughout the whole course of six years’ study. In the Junior Preparatory year, Reed and Kellogg’s Lessons in Higher English is the text-book in grammar. This consists of work in diagram, analysis, punctuation, abridging, composition, parsing, synthesis and rules of syntax. Rhetoric is studied during two terms of the Senior Preparatory year. The beginner is introduced to the study through Kellogg's work. Here he is made perfectly familiar with the fundamental every-day principles of English composition, sentence structure, paragraphing, letter writing, formal addresses and prosody. After completing theEnglishCour.se of the Preparatory Department the student is ready for advanced work in Rhetoric and Composition. Accordingly Genung’s Practical Elements is taken up at the beginning of the Freshman year, and the more difficult and important parts of that book are studied— such as Style, Composition, Figures of Speech, Invention and Thought. Thus the student is introduced to a wider view of the subject. He is led to the actual construction of literature, finer principles of literary taste, and the subtler music of rhythm. Style, Diction, Figure of Speech,

Along with the practical elements, Genung’s Hand-book of Rhetorical Analysis is used. This is designed to alternate from time to time with the Practical Elements. The student is next introduced to the Study of Words by Trench as revised by Suplee. This subject is taken up with discussion on the Origin of Words, Poetry, Morality, History aud Prophecy in Words, as well as the Rise, Distinction and Correct Use of Words. The best writers of English and American Literature are read, studied and commented upon during two terms. In this work the student is taught to think for himself, and a taste for reading the best literature is developed. Large portions of each author studied are requited to be committed to memory, and essays are written on each book as it is finished. Painter's Literature is used as the guide in study. The next and final study of the English Course is Logic. Jevons-HiU's text is used, and much stress and time are put upon the Syllogism, Fallacies, Induction, Deduction and Practical Examples. POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCE. 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 Nature of our own and other nations, Economics, Law and Sociology. In the Freshman year Political Economy is begun and completed. Economics and Wealth, Labor and Capital, Banks and Banking, Free Trade and the Protective Tariff are discussed and the best principles advocated. Ely’s text book is used. With the belief that a broad knowledge of national principles should be inculcated, International Law is placed in the Junior year. Under this subject the following topics are iu-

The distinctive principles of our Republic are laid down, compared and contrasted with the other forms of government, until the study is fully impressed with the value and superiority of our own Government. NATURAL SCIENCE. The course in natural science begins with Physical Geography in the Junior Preparatory year, and ends with Biology in the Senior Collegiate year. It covers most of the six years, and is systematically graded. At the beginning of the fall term of the Sophomore year Remsen’s Briefer Course in Chemistry is taken up and completed in two terms. The work includes an extended study of the elements Oxygen. Chlorine, Nitrogen, Sulphur and Carbon as representatives of the more important families of the elements. In addition to these the fundamental principles of Chemical Action are considered. Included in these tire the laws of Definite and Multiple Proportions, the Atomic Theory, and the Classification of the Elements according to the Periodic Law. Throughout the two terms sufficient time is given to the laboratory work to illustrate the principles which are being studied, and the entire Spring term is devoted to Qualitative Analysis of the more common metals. Williams’ Chemical Experiments, General and Analytical, is the guide used.
