HISTORICAL STATEMENT. 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 Wednesday, 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 con• ducted an academy from which many noted persons gradu• ated. 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 buildings and the campus are the gifts of generous friends. Though young, the college has already exerted a lasting and wide-felt in– fluence. Its students and graduates take high rank in seminaries, universities, and other advanced schools of training. Many of them are ,vorthily filling 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 Pittsburgh, Cin– cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, forty-seven miles southwest of Columbus and seventy-three miles northeast of Cincinnati. It is in the northern part of the Miami Valley, and has 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
INCOME A..~O ENDOW)fE:,;'T, 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 iu this community. INCOME AND ENDOWMENT. INCOME. The income of Cedarville College consists of the interest from its endowment, voluntary subscriptions and offerings from friends, collections from the different congregation& under the care of the General Synod of the Reformed Pres– byterian Church, and the tuition fees of the students. ENDOWMENT FUNDS. PETER GIBSON FUND. Cedarville College prnctically had its origin in the liberality of William Gibson, Esq., of Cincinnati, who be– queathed $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 Presbyterian congrega,.. tion of Cincinnati. By compromise with the heirs, the trustees accepted $20,000 in foll settlement. THOMAS GIBSON FUND. Thomas Gibson, an cider· in the First Reformed Pre&– byterian congregation of Cincinnati and president of the Board of 'l'rustees of Cedarville College, left a bequest of $5,000, which came into the possession of the College in 1910.

HARPER FUND. Mr. George W. Harper and wife, of Cedarville, gen• erously gave $5,000 for the founding and maintenance of a chair of sociology and economics, provided the friends of the College raised an additional $5,000.

Lyons. of :Marissa, lllinois, gave $500 as a memorial to his son James Burney Lyons, who gave his life as a sacrifice to his country during the Civil War. 1\fr. Lyons, now ninety.nine years old, continues to be a liberal yearly contributor to the College. 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 l\foLeod, 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 1801 to 1874. The Presbytery of New York and Vermont also donated $3,200 to the College to the same revered memory.

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, containing 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, German, history, Tbetoric, and waiting rooms. On the second floor are the Greek and Latin, psychology, science, English, French, Bible, econom– ics and education recitation rooms and the chemical and biological laboratories. Two large Jiterary society halls occupy the entire third floor. The building is lighted with natural gas and electricity, and heated by furnaces. Stand– ing in the center of the beautiful campus, on the highest site in Cedarville, the building presents an attractive and imposing appearance. THE ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM. In 1902, Mr. W. J. Alford presented to the College the church building and grounds, formerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation (General Synod). This building was given by the donor as a gymnasium and for a memorial of his parents, Rev. Jolm Alford and Mrs. Mary B. Alford, of Los Angeles, Cal. The building has been named the ''Alford Memorial Gymnasium.'' It is 11

J. Alford for his historic gift. THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY. In December, 1905, Mr. Andrew Carnegie generously donated $12,000 to erect a library building for CedarviUe College on condition that a like amount be added to tbe College endowment fund. This condition was fully met, and the building of brick 1md cut stone was completed and entered dut·ing the summer of 1908. The building is seventy-two feet in length and .forty-five feet in widtb, and contains all the modern library equipment with a capacity for 17,000 volumes. The village and College libraries have been combi1rnd, and new volumes arc being added as needed. 'J'he leading periodicals are kept on the reading tables. 'fhe physical laboratory and the rooms of the Depart– ment of Domestic Science are located in the basement of this building. 12
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE. LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS. A lecture course is maintained under the control o[ different Cedarville organizations. 'l'he best talent of our country and of foreign hrnds is secured. The students, therefore, have opportunity to hear the best public speakers and entertainers of the d.:i_v. In addition. <·Imp<': lecturf's are given from time to time by members o[ the .F'acult~, and others. ATHLETICS. Athletic excl'ciSC'S a.re encouraged h,v 1\lt' !◄'acuity and the Board of Trnstees.

Cedarville College is a member of the Ohio Inter– collegiate Oratorical Association, which, in turn, is a divi– sion of the Interstate Association, including ten of the lead– ing States of the 1\Iiddle "\Vest. 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. 'l'his association with which the CoUege is connected is the oldest and lat·gest oratorical association in the United States, many of the eminent statesmen and orators of the day having received much of their early ll·aining in its contests. THE GAVELYTE. 'L'hc Gavelyte is a monthly magazine reflecting the thought and life of the College. The first number ap– peared in January, 1906.

SUM:\IAIIY O~· EXPENSES. EXPENSES. Expenses at Cedarville are probably as low as can be found anywhere in the United States, and are much lower t.ban 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, boardfog, room rent, and cost of text-books vary with the locality. Consequently, the following estimates are based upon these items. Jn the years in which science courses are taken, ten dollars must be added for laboratory fees t1.nd 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, there– fore. practically individual expenses. SUMM:ARY OF EXPENSl.:S FOR A YEAR.
