HISTORICAL STATEME NT. 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 19, 1894, the College was opened for instruction in the mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan, D. D., where, 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. l\Iany of them are worthily fi lling positions of power and influence in America and foreign lands. LOCATION. Cedarville College has its seat in the beautiful little village of Cedarville, Greene county, Ohio, which is lo– cated on the Little Miami division of the Pittsburg, Cin– cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, forty-seven miles southeast of Columbus and seventy-three miles northeast of Cincinnati. 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
}NCOME AND ENDOWMENT 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 course, can find no finer region and no better society than in this community. ENDOWMENT AND INCOME. INCOME. The income of Cedarville College consists of the in– terest from its endO\vment, voluntary subscriptions and offerings from friends, collections from the different con– gregations under the care of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and the tuition fees of the students. GIBSON FUND. The Cedarville College had its practical origin through the liberality of \1/illiam Gibson, Esq., of Cin– cinnati, 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 of the First Reformed Presby– terian congregation of Cincinnati. COOPER FUND. By the will of the late Robert M. Cooper, a ruling elder in the Cedarville Reformed Presbyterian congre– gation, the College, in the Fall of 1903, came into posses– sion of two-thirds of his farm, valued at $6,000.
CEDARVILLE COLLE(;£ HARPER FUND. Mr. G. 'W. Harper and wife, of Cedarville, gener– ously gave $5,000 for the founding and maintenance of a chair of Sociology and Economics, provided the friends of the College raise an additional $5,000. The fund was raised, and instruction began in September, 1906. JAMES LYONS FUND. The College is gratefully indebted to Mr. John R. Lyons, of Marissa, Illinois, who gave $500 to be funded as a memorial to his son, James Lyons, who gave his life as a sacrifice to his country during the Civil War. McLEOD MEMORIAL FUND. In the articles of union of the Twelfth Street Re– formed Presbyterian Church with the Scotch Presby– terian Church, New York City, provision was made by the trustees of the united congregation to pay to Cedar– ville College the interest on $5,000 on May 14th and Kovember 14th, each year, from the McLeod Memorial Fund, in memory of Drs. Alexander McLeod and John Neil McLeod, father and son, distinguished ministers of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, whose combined pastorates of the Twelfth Street New York congregation covered the period from 1801 to 1874. The Presbytery of New York and Vermont also donated $2,000 to the College to the same revered mem– ory. 10
BUILDINGS. COLLEGE HALL. The erection of College Hall was begun in the spring of 1895, and completed late in the autumn of the same year. The corner-stone was laid with impressive services June 25, 1895, and the dedication took place during the meeting of the General Synod in May, 1896. The building stands in a campus of nine acres, contain– ing about three hundred trees. 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, Ger– man, history, mathematics, and men's waiting room. On the second floor are the girls' waiting room, the Greek and Latin, psychology, science, English, French, economics and education recitation rooms and the phy– sical, chemical and biological laboratories. Two large literary society halls occupy the entire third floor. The building is lighted with natural gas and electricity, and heated by furnaces. Standing in the center of the beau– tiful campus, on the highest site in Cedarville, the build– ing presents an attractive and imposing appearance. ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM. During the holiday season of 1902, M r. W. J. Al– ford presented to the College the church building and grounds, formerly the property of the Reformed Pres– byterian congregation (General Synod). This building 11
CEDARVILLE CoU.£G£ was given by the donor as a gymnasium and for a me– morial of his parents, Rev. J ohn Alford and Mrs. Mary B. Alford, of Beaver Falls, Pa. The building has been named the "Alford Memorial Gymnasium." It is seventy feet long and fifty feet wide, provided with dressing rooms and shower baths, and furnishes an excellent place for a gymnasium. VVe are under lasting gratitude to Mr. VI. ]. Alford for his timely, needed, and historic gift. CARNEGJE LJBRARY. In December, 190.3, Mr. Carnegie generously do– nated $12,000 to erect a library building for Cedarville College on condition that a like amount be added to the College endowment fund. This condition was fully met, and the building of brick and cut stone was completed and entered during the summer of 1908. The building is seventy-two feet in length and forty-five feet in width, and contains all the modern library equipment with a capacity for 17,000 volumes. The village and College libraries have been combined, and new volumes are being added as needed. The leading periodicals are kept on the reading tables. 12
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE. LECTURES AND E NTERTAINMENT S. A lecure course is maintained under the control of different Cedarville organizations. The best talent of our country and of foreign lands is secured. The stu– dents, therefore, have opportunity to hear the best pub– lic speakers and entertainers of the day. In addition, chapel lectures are given on Mondays by members of the Faculty and others. AT HLETICS. Athletic exercises are encouraged by the Faculty . and the Board of Trustees. They are under the per– sonal supervision of the President. On the College cam– pus there are tennis courts, baseball and football grounds. Several basketball teams of each sex are or– ganized from year to year. They conduct their games in the Alford Memorial Gymnasium. LITE RARY SOCIET IES. T he Philadelphian 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 College Hall. These societies are under the control of the students. Thus having the management in their own hands, they tend to develop originality and independence of thought and action. During the past 13
CEDARVILLE COLLE'.CE few years the societies have beautified their ha11s at the expense of several hundred dollars. Literary exercises are required of the students. INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATES. One or two debates are usually held each year be– tween Cedarville and some other college. During recent years, such contests have been held with VVilmington and Muskingum Colleges. In 1909 a girls' debate with Muskingum, believed to be the first girls' intercollegiate debate on record, resulted in a victory for Cedarville. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. Cedarville College is a member of the Ohio Inter– collegiate Oratorical Association, ,vhich, in turn, is a division of the Interstate Association, including ten of the leading States of the Middle West. A preliminary oratorical contest is held during the first semester of each year, the winner representing the College in the State contest. The winner of the latter represents the State of Ohio in the interstate 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. ALFORD PRIZE. Through the generosity of Rev. John Alford, D. D., of Beaver Falls, Pa., a prize of twenty-five dollars is contested for annually by the two literary societies. THE GAVELYTE. The Gavelyte is a monthly magazine reflecting the thought and life of the College. The first number ap14
RELIGIOUS LIFE peared in January, 1906. It has increased in interest with each issue and has already become an important factor in student activities. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGE S. T here are four flourishing churches in town: Meth– odist Episcopal, United Presbyterian, Reformed Pres– byterian (Synod), Reformed Presbyterian (General Synod). Each of these churches maintains a young peo– ple's prayer meeting once a week. Every member of the Faculty and nearly every student in attendance this year is a professed Christian. All students are required to attend the church designated by their parents, who are requested to send their written wishes as to what church their children shall attend. Students of all Christian denominations are welcomed. The temptations so nu– merous in large cities and overcrowded colleges, are not found here. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. T he Young Men's Christian Association of Cedar– ville College was organized 1Iarch 12, 1907. Like all similar societies it extends the helping hand physically, intellectually, morally, and spiritually to all the young men, thereby aiming to develop the whole man in the truest and best sense. Its devotional and business meet– ings are held every week. YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. T he Young Women's Christian Association of Ce– darville ·College was organized in 1909. It maintains all of those characteristic activities which have made this organization such a power for good among the college girls of America. Devotional and business meetings are held once a week. 15

Anyone desiring to enter the College should examine carefully the requirements for admission to the depart– ment which he desires to enter, the requirements for a degree or diploma of graduation, the general regulations, the departments and courses of instruction, and the fol– lowing statements : MATRICULATION. Any person of good moral character may matriculate as a student o f Cedarville College upon the following conditions : l.

In a five-hour course, five absences per sem– ester are allowed, etc. Students whose absences in any course do not exceed the allowed number, are excused from the final examination in that course. Students whose unexcused absences in any course exceed the al– lowed number lose credit in proportion to the number of such absences. 4.

CEDARVlLLE COLI..ECE A "credit," or "semester-hour," is one recitation a week for one sem ester. A student completing fifteen hours of collegiate work a week for one semester receives fifteen credits, and if such work is continued £of a full year, he receives thirty credits, which is considered full work for one year. REQUIREMENTS FOR CLASSI FICATION. A student who has presented sixteen units of satis– factory preparatory work is considered a Freshman. A student w ho has met the requirements for ad– m ission and completed thirty semester-hours of work is considered a Sophomore. One who has met the requirements for admission and completed sixty semester-hours of work is consid– ered a Junior. One who has met the requirements for admission and completed ninety semester-hours of work is con– sidered a Senior. A student who has received a Bachelor's degree from Cedarville College, or any institution of equal standing, is considered a Graduate Student. RATES OF T UITION. The fee for instruction in the Collegiate Department is eighteen dollars per semester, payable upon the open– ing day. This includes a tuition fee of fifteen dollars and a contingent fee of three dollars. The laboratory fees in chemistry, biology and physics are five dollars per semester. The breakage deposit in chemistry is five dollars per semester. After breakage has been deduct– ed, the remainder is returned. The graduation and diploma fee, payable with the tuition fee at the beginning of the second semester of 26
EXPENSES the last year of the course, is five dollars to those taking the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and ten dollars to those taking the degree of Master of Arts. EXPENSES. Expenses at Cedarville are probably as low as can be found anywhere in the United States, and are much lower than in many other places. Expenses for clothing, laundry and sundries vary greatly with the individual, who can, therefore, better estimate them for himself. College fees, boarding, room rent, and cost of text-books vary with the locality. Consequently, the following es– timates are based upon these items. In the years in which science courses are taken, ten dollars must be added for laboratory fees and from three to ten for breakage in courses in chemistry. Only two courses in science are required, and chemistry need not be one of them. Laboratory fees are also, therefore, practically individual expenses. SUMMARY OF EXPENSES FOR A YEAR. Lowest Cost.
