1911-1912 Academic Catalog

HISTORICAL STATEMENT The Cedarville College is under the control of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. It was chartered by the State of Ohio in January, 1887. On \.Vednesday, September IV, 1894, the College was opened for instruction in the mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan, D. D .. where, a half a century ago, he conducted an academy from which many noted persons graduated. The accommodations not being sufficient for the needs of the growing institution, in the second year the present main building was erected and opened on the site purchased several· years before. Both the build– ings and the campus are the gifts of generous friends. Though young, the college has already exerted a lasting and wide-felt influence. Its students and graduates take high rank in seminaries, universities, and other ad– vanced schools of training. Many of them are worthily filling positions of power and influence in America and foreign lands. LOCATION.
