CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. GENERAL INFORMATION. H ISTORY. T he Cedarville College was chartered lVith full power by the State of Ohio in January, 1887. On \Vednesday, September 19, 1894, the College opened for instruction in the mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan, D.D., where over a third of a century ago he conducted an academy, from which were graduated many noted per– sonages. The accommodations not being sufficient for the needs of the growing institution, in the second year the present building was erected and opened on the site pur– chased several years before. Both the building and the campus arc the gifts of generous friends. Though young. the College has already exerted a lasting and wide-felt influence. Its students and graduates take prominent places in seminaries, universities. and other advanced schools of training. Many of them are worthily filling positions of power and influence in America and foreign lands. The College includes five departments: the Preparatory, the Classical, the Philosophical, theMusieal, the Oratorical and Teachers'. In these, arc students from various parts of the United States preparing for all professions and pursuits of life. -8-
CeDARVILLE COLLEGE. ENDOWMENT AND INCOME. GIBSON FUND. The Cedarville College had its practical origin through the liberality of William Gibson, Esq., of Cincinnati, who bequeathed $25,000 for the endowment fund of a college to be erected at Cedarville, Ohio, in memory of his father, Peter Gibson, for many years a prominent member and ruling elder in the First Reformed Presbyterian congrega– tion of Cincinnati. COOPER FUN O. By the will of the late RobertM. Cooper, a ruling cider in the Cedarville Reformed Presbyterian congregation, the Col!cge, in the Fall of 1903, came into possession of two– thirds of his farm, valued at $6,000. Though dead, these men yet speak. Their memory is precious. HARPER FUND. Mr. G. W. Harper and wife, of Cedarville, generously gave $5,000 for the founding and maintenance of a chair in Finance, Banking, Transportation and Economics, pro– vided the friends of the College raise an additional $5,000. This fund was raised, and instruction began in September, 1907JAMES LYONS FUND. The College is gratcfolly indebted to Mr. John R. Lyons, of Marissa, Illinois, who gave $500 to be funded as a -9-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. memorial to his son, James Lyons, who gave his life as a sacrifice to his country during the Civil War. THE McLEOD MEMORIAL FUND. In the articles of union of the Twelfth Street Reformed Presbyterian Church with the Scotch Presbyterian Church, New York City, provision was made by the trustees of the united congregation to pay to Cedarville College the interest on $5,000 on May 14th and November 14th, each year, from the McLeod Memorial Fund, in memory of Drs. Alexander McLeod and John Neil McLeod, father and son, distin– guished ministers of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, whose combined pastorates of the Twelfth Street New York congregation covered the period from 18o1 to 1874. The Presbytery of New York and Vermont also donated $2,000 to the College to the same revered memory. INCOME. The income of the College consists of the interest from its endowment, voluntary subscriptions and offerings from friends, collections from the different congregations under the care of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and the tuition of the students. The College needs and should now have $75,000 to do what it wants to do for its patrons. The College is pledged to a Christian education along all lines. Reader, you may not be able to give all or even a considerable amount of the $75,000, but you can give something and you can not bestow your gifts where they will be more heartily appreciated, better used, and result in such permanent good to humanity. Consider this a call from the Lord for the bestowment of your goods. -10-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. LOCATION OF CEDARVILLE. Cedarville, Ohio, the seat of Cedarville College, is located on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway (the Little Miami division). It has a direct communication by telegraph, telephone and railroad with Xenia, eight miles southwest; Springfield, twelve miles north; London, twenty– two miles northeast; Columbus, forty-seven miles northeast, and Cincinnati, seventy-three miles southwest. It is in the northern part of the Miami Valley, and is one of the most beautiful and healthful locations in Ohio. 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. BUILDINGS. COLLEGE HALL. The erection of the new College building was begun in the Spring of 18g5, and completed late in the Autumn of the same year. The corner-stone was laid with impressive services June 25, 18g5, and the dedication took place during the meeting of the General Synod in May, 1896. The build– ing stands in a campus of nine acres, containing about three hundred trees and all beautifully located on the main street, north end of Cedarville. It is a handsome edifice of pressed brick and cut stone. On the first floor are the chapel, the president's office, class rooms for Music, German, Economics -JI-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. and Laboratory, and the main and side entrance corridors. On the second floor are the library. waiting rooms, the Greek and Latin, the Mathematical, English recitation rooms, besides the corridor. Two large society halls occupy the entire third floor. Two wide and gently ascending stair– ways, one on each side of the building, lead from the base– ment to the third story. T he building is lighted with natural gas, and heated by three furnaces. There are entrances from each of the four sides. Standing in the center of the campus on the highest site in Cedarville, the building pre– sents an attractive and imposing appearance. ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM. During the holiday season of 1902, Mr. \V. J. Alford presented to the College the church building and beautiful grounds formerly the property of the Reformed Presby– terian congregation (General Synod). This building was given by the donor as a gymnasium and for a memorial of his parents, Rev. John Alford and Mrs. Mary B. Alford, of Beaver Falls, Pa. The hall has been named the ..Alford Memorial." lt is seventy feet long· and fifty feet wide, and furnishes an excellent place for a gymnasium. \Ve arc under lasting gratitude to 1fr. \V. J. Alford for his timely, needed and historic gift. THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY. In December, 1905, 1Ir. Carnegie generQusly donated $ 12,()(X) to erect a library building for Cedarville College on condition that a like amount be added to the College endow– ment fund. This condition was fully met, and the building of brick and cut stone is about completed, and will be entered this summer. The building is seventy-two feet in length and
CIWARVJLW COLLEGE.. forty.five feet in width, and contains all the modern library equipment with a capacity for l7,000 volumes. The village and College libraries have been combined, and new volumes will be added as needed, while the leading periodicals will be kept on the reading tables, all under the charge of an efficient librarian. MUSEUM. A number of valuable curiosities from the different por– tions of this country, Europe and Asia have been collected and form a nucleus for a museum. Persons having in their possession curiosities of 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. SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE. LECTURES AND ENTERTAIN MENTS. The Lecture Course is under the direct supervision of the College Literary Societies. The best talent of our country and of foreign lands is secured. 1.'he course is very popular, and it will be the aim to make it better each season. In addition to the College Lecture Course, other societies of Cedarville usually bring first~class talent. T he students, therefore, have opportunity to hear the best public speakers and entertainers of the day. ATHLETICS. Athletic exercises are encouraged by the Faculty and the Board of Trustees. They are under the personal supervision of the President of the College. On the College campus -13-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. there are a first-class tennis court, baseball and football grounds. Several basketball clubs representing both sexes are usually organized from year to year. They conduct their games in the Alford Memorial. An Athletic Associa– tion, formed by the students, helps to stimulate field sports. T he College authorities will promptly check any tendency to brutality or excess in athletic contests. This can be done the more easily since the students recognize that the Faculty sympathizes and is ready to co-operate with them in pro– moting legitimate and healthful sport. Students deficient in their studies will not be permitted to participate in inter– collegiate games. LITERARY SOCIETIES. T he P hiladelphian Society was organized in the Fall of 1894, and the Philosophic during the Fall of 1895. Both societies have been making successful progress. They occupy two large, well furnished halls in the third story of the new College building. One-ha!f of a true education consists in literary training. These societies are under the control of the students. Thus having the management in their own hands, they will tend to develop originality and independence of thought and action. During the past few years the societies have beautified their halls at the expense of several hundred dollars. Literary exercises are required and credits given in the same in order to secure credits in class work. BIBLE READING CONTEST. Through the generosity of Rev. John Alford, D .D., Beaver Falls, P~.• and Mr. George Nevin, Marissa, Ill., a -I◄-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. Bible reading contest was held during the past year, and it is hoped to make this contest a permanent affair. INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATE. At least one debate is held each year between Cedarviile and some other college. During recent years, such contests have been held with Wilmington and Muskingum Colleges. O RATORICAL ASSOCIATION. Cedarville College is a member of the Ohio Intercol– legiate Oratorical Association, which in turn is a division of the Interstate Association, including eleven of the leading States of the Middle West. A preliminary oratorical contest is held during the first term of each year, the winner repre– senting the College in the State contest. T he winner of the latter represents the State of Ohio in the inter-state contest. This association with which the College is connected is the oldest and largest oratorical association in the United States, many of the eminent statesmen and orators of the day having received much of their early training in its contests. T H E GAVEL CLUB. T he Gavel Club was organized in November, 1905, with the avowed object of furnishing training to its members in "the technic of conducting public meetings." This was in answer to a long-felt want on the part of the college men, who upon graduation find themselves in positions requiring a thorough knowledge of parliamentary law. The work of the club since organization has been most instructive. Ques– tions of public policy are discussed, furnishing fine training in extemporaneous speaking as well as in the various ques- -15-
CBDARVILLC COLLEGE. tions of parliamentary law. T he club has prospered since its start and much good is looked for in the future. THE GAVELYT E. No one thing contributes more to the broadening of a student's life than a live college paper. It brings him into contact with other colleges and it supplies him with a medium for the expression of his opinions and furnishes him valuable training. Such we believe is "TnE GAVELYTE," the first number of which appeared in January, 1go6. lt has increased in size and interest with each number and has already become an important agent to the student body. Edited and managed, as it is, by the students themselves, it is typically representative of their thought and motive. REL IGIOUS A DVANT AGES. There are four flourishing churches in town: Methodist Episcopal, United Presbyterian, Reformed Presbyterian (Synod), Reformed Presbyterian (General Synod). Each of these churches maintains a young people's prayer meeting once a week. Ninety-five per cent. of the students in attend– ance this year are professed Christians. All students are required to attend the church designated by their parents, who arc requested to send their written wishes as to what church their children shall attend. \•Ve welcome students of all Christian denominations. T he enticements to sin, so plentiful in large cities and over-crowded colleges, are not found here. THE STUDENT S' M IN ISTERIA L CLUB. During the Fall term of 19o6, the Students' Ministerial Club was organized. It is composed of students who have -16-
Cf.iDARV!LLE COLLEGE. the gospel ministry in view. Its purpose is mutual helpful– ness by word and example, to interest others in taking up the ministry, to do personal work both in the College and town, and to organize like clubs in other colleges. It meets in 3 business and devotional capacity once each month. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCI ATION. The Y. l\l. C. A. of Cedarville College was organized l\farch 12, 1907. Like all similar societies it extends the helping hand physically, intellectually. morally, and spirit– ually to all the young men, thereby aiming to develop the whole man in the truest and best sense. Its devotional and business meetings are held twice a month. SPECIAL ADVANTAGES. Cedarville College makes no pretension to do the work of a university. 1t is content to take its place with the smaller colleges of the land. But it docs promise its patrons to do well and thoroughly whatever it claims to do. A college course is not in itself an education. lt only opens the doors of a liberal education for the student. It is a Leginning. not an end. This beginning we claim to be able to furnish. A university may have hundreds of teachers in its faculty, thousands of volumes in its library, and the most costly apparatus and extensive laboratories. But the students will come in contact with only a few of the pro– fessors, read a few of the books, use a few o f the appliances. All of 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, - 17 -
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. 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 fifty per cent. of the graduates of a small college entering the ministry. T he 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 can not stay in one of these small colleges. Agnostics, infidels, or men who indulge in or tolerate drinking arc not found as teachers. The pro– fessors are generally consecrated Christians. All this is true of Cedarville College. The professors are energetic, capable, and sympathetic. They arc brought into personal contact with the student daily in the class and out of the class. The classes arc small, so that students arc obliged to recite several times during each hour. No student can slight work for one clay without the fact being apparent to the pro– fessors. SPECIAL RULES AND STATEMENTS. 1. The President of the College and the Professors constitute the Faculty. 2. Every student enrolled as a member of a certain class shall take the studies of the class, unless excused by the P resident. 3. No student shall be allowed to discontinue any study . without express permission from the President. 4. Payment of clues shall be made the first day. No student will be enrolled in any class or recognized in any -18-
CEDARVILLE COLLE.GE. recitation until he pays his dues or makes satisfactory arrangements with the Treasurer for them. 5. 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. 6. Students are graded daily on recitations, punctuality, and general deportment. Unannounced tests are given from time to time in studies pursued during the term. Students who fail either in daily grade or the averages of their tests in any study will be required to take the subject over in class to secure credit. ( See rules 7 and I 2 also.) 7. Students' punctuality and deportment are included in the recitation grade. The passing grade in recitation and tests is 65 per cent. for each. 8. Punishment for violation of College law, abuse of privileges, trespassing, or destruction of property, shall be inflicted as the case may require, by admonition, suspension, dismission, or expulsion. 9. Punctual attendance is required on the first day. Failure to be present results seriously to class standing. New students are requested to present themselves, if pos– sible, at least one day before the opening of the term. IO. At the close of each term, statements with reference to the students' standing in classes, scholarship, attendance, and deportment will be forwarded for examination to the parents or guardians. 11. As many justifiable absences will be allowed each term in any subject as the number of hours it recites a week. 12. All students are required to become active members of the literary societies, and each student must receive sixty– five credits a term in order to secure credits in class work. -19-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. REQUIREMENTS ~OR ADMISSION. Any one who desires to cnte1· either the Preparatory or Collegiate Department should read carefully the Special Rules and Statements, should examine the Course of Study in the Preparatory and Collegiate Departments, with the Review of the Departments of Study and the following statements : MATRICULATION. I. Any person of good character may be matriculated as a student of Cedarville College on the following con– ditions: 1. Payment of tuition and contingent fees, or satis– facto1·y arrangements for the same, for which a receipt or certificate properly signed by the Registrar or Treasure,· \\'ill be sufficient. 2. The prospective student shall register his name with the name and address of a pa1·ent or responsible reference under the following pledge : " I do hereby subscribe myself a student of Cedarville College, and furthermore solemnly promise that. while l am a student in this CoJlege, l will be diligent in st11dy, p11nctnal in attendance upon reci– tations and chapel, strictly moral in lang-11age and conduct, respectful to officers and teachers of the College, and 1 will faithfully conform to all College requirements, obey all College laws, and in all ways maintain strict College decorum."

CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. ing increase of age. Under this rule, students should be at least thirteen years of age for admission to the Junior Preparatory year. co.EDUCATION. III. Experience has proved that the sexes should be educated together. It tends to higher culture, more refined taste, and better order than where this privilege is not granted. Accordingly, both sexes are admitted under the rule adopted in 1894. ENROLLM ENT AN D CERTIFICATES. IV. An applicant for admission to the Preparatory De– partment or to the Collegiate Department shall file with the President of the College on or before the opening day of the autumn term, September 15, 1908, a certificate from his or her principal instructor, containing a definite statement of subjects upon which a successful examination has been passed. V. Students having regular High School diplomas or Academic diplomas or equivalents should also present the same. High School and Academic grades will be received only for the Preparatory Department and from such insti– tutions as are approved by the Faculty as a committee of the whole. VI. Students may be admitted to classes above the Freshman on the certificate of honorable dismissal from colleges of like standing with this. Admission to any class upon certificate is tentative until the student passes the first– term examinations. VII. Every candidate, before admission, shall present a certificate of good moral character from his last teacher, or -21-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. from some citizen in good standing ; or if studying with a view to the ministry, from the proper ecclesiastical author– ity; and students from other colleges should bring certifi– cates of honorable dismissal from these colleges. VIII. Students unable to be present at the opening may be admitted at any time during the term, but they will be conditioned to make up what the class which they enter may have studied in the part of the year just expired. EXAM INATIONS. IX. Applicants for admission who have no diplomas or certificate will be required to pass satisfactory examinations during the one day preceding the opening of the Autumn term, provided they are candidates for degrees. But no stu– dent will receive a degree until he shall have completed the course, or furnished an equivalent for every study in the course. X. Students desiring to matriculate in any class must present satisfactory statements for, or pass entrance exami– nations in, all studies previously pursued by the class. XI. Candidates for the Freshman Class are especially requested to examine the Preparatory Department; and, if they are lacking in any studies, to exert all efforts to make them up before entering the Freshman Class, otherwise they will be conditioned at their own inconvenience. X II. No student will be conditioned in more than one regular study running throughout the year. Students de– siring to enter the Senior Collegiate Class will not be admit– ted with conditions. XIII. Applicants for admission to the Junior Prepar– atory year will be examined in the following subjects prior to entering: -:n-
CEDARVILLE COLLEGE. Reading, Geography, U. S. H istory, Physiology, Pen– manship, Drawing, Orthography, Ray's Practical Arithmetic or equivalent, Harvey's English Grammar or equivalent. Patterson certificates or satisfactory grades from public schools will excuse an applicant from examinations in above subjects. XIV. Applicants for admission to any class above the Junior Preparatory shall, in addition to the above, either present satisfactory grades or certificates or pass examina– tions in all subjects already pursued by the class which they desire to enter. XV. Students desiring to pursue one or more subjects less than a full course shall matriculate, and then attend such course as the Faculty advise, but they will not be regarded as candidates for degrees. XVI. Students who wish to pursue studies in Oratory or Music as well as in the College, but who are not study– ing for a degree, may select their own studies, subject to the schedule of the term and the approval of the President. They will, however, be charged the regular rates of the departments in which they are classified. ALFORD PRIZES. F ive prizes of five dollars each in gold are offered by Rev. John Alford, D.D., and his wife, of Beaver Falls, Pa., for the best grades and decorum in the following subjects: Greek Lessons, German Lessons, Freshman Rhetoric, Chem– istry, and Physics. Only those who complete the subject will be considered competitors. - 23-
