Cedarville Collej;e. 9 ment to sin, so plentiful in large cities and overcrowded colleges, are not found here. SPECIAL ADVANTAGE. Cedarville College makes no pretension to do the work of a univer ity. It i content to take its place with the smaller col– lege of 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 of a liber– al education for the student. It is a beginning, not an end. This beginning we claim to be able to furnish. A univer- ity may have hundreds of teachers in its faculty, .thousands of volumes in its library, and the most costly apparatus and exten– sive laboratories. But the student will come in 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 col– leges have done and are doing a great work. They have edu– cated men eminent in Theology, Law, ledicine; Presidents, Judges, Senators. Nor are these cases exceptional. It will be found that a much larger per cent. of the students of smaller college are succes ful in life than of the larger colleges. It i no uncommon thing to find 90 per cent. of the graduate of a small college en~ering the ministry. The reason is apparent-a student who habitually neglects or shirks bis work can not get through. and a student ,vho i living a fast and vicious life cannot sta) in one of these small colleges. gno tics, infidel , or men who indulge in or tolerate drinking, are not found a teach– ers.
