1900-1901 Academic Catalog

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 gen­ erous gifts of friends. It is appropriate hereto mention the long to be rememberedgiftof William Gibson, Esq.,of Cincin­ nati, who bequeathed $25,000 for the endowment fund. For this and various smaller contributions too numerous to men­ tion, 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 gradu­ ate work of Universities. The college includes four departments, the Classical, the Philosophical, the Musical, and the Elocution. The seeui- brace 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.
