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 conducted an academy from which many noted men graduated. Rev. David :McKinney, D. D., LL. D., was the first president and continued in this capacity for twenty-one years. Rev. Wil– bert Renwick McChcsney, Ph. D., D. D., has the distinction of being the first professor of the new college, and in 1915 he was elected to succeed Dr. :McKinney as president. 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 influence. Its students and graduates take high rank in seminaries, universities, and other advanced schools of train– ing. Many of them are worthily 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 located on the Little Miami division of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, forty-seven miles southwest of Columbus, seventy-three miles northeast of Cincinnati; twelve miles south of Springfield, and eight miles northeast of Xenia. 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 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 com– munity. _,_
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 congregations under the care of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, 1md the tuition fees of the students. ENDOWMENT FUNDS. PETER GIBSON FUND. Cedarville College practically had its origin in the liberality of ,Villiam Gibson, of Cincinnati, who bequeathed $25,000 for the endowment fund of a College to be erected at Cedanille, Ohio, in memory of his father, Peter Gibson, for many years a prominent member and ruling elder of the First Reformed Pres– byterian congregation of Cincinm1ti. Dy compromise with the heirs, the trustees accepted $20,000 in full settlement. THOMAS GIBSON FUND. 'I'homas Gibson, ll!I elder in the First Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Cincinnati and president of the Board of Trustees of Cedarville College, left a bequest of $5,000, which eiune into the possession of the College in 1910. ROBERT M. COOPER FUND. By the will of RobertM. Cooper, a ruling elder in the Cedar• ville Reformed Presbyterian congregation. the College in 1903 came into possession of two-thirds of his estate, which amounted to $4,000. HARPER FUND. Mr. George ,v. Harper and wife, of Cedarville, generously gave $5,000 for the founding 1md nrnintenanee of a chair o[ sociology and economics, provided the friends of the College raised an additional $5,000. The condition was more than com• plied with, about $7,000 being raised.
JAMES BURNEY LYONS FUND. :Mr. J ohn R. Lyons, of Marissa, Illinois, gave $500 as a memorial to his son, James Burney Lyons. who gave his life ns a sacrifice to his country during the Civil ,var. McLEOD MEMORIAL FUND. In the artieles of union of the Twelfth Street Reformed Presbyterian Church with the Scotch P resbyterian Church, New York City, provision was made by the trustees of the united congregation to pay to Cednrville College the interest on $5,000 on l\fay 14th and November 14th, each year, from the McLeod Memorial Fund, in memory of Drs. Alexander McLeod and John Neil McLeod, fother 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 $3,200 to the College to the same reYered memory. PITTSBURGH FUND. The First Reformed Presbyterinn congregation of Pitts– burgh, now the Taberuacle Presbyteri1rn church, gave $3,000 to the general endowment fund in 1906. SAMUEL PRICE FUND. The late Samuel Price, of Tarentum, Pennsylvania, be– queathed one-fourth of his estate to the College, which amount, $3,000, became completely available in 1914. MARG.ABET A HUNTER FUND. The late l\Iargaret A. ITunter, of Philadelphia, sister of the late William J. l\IcAllister, the contesting of whose will pre– vented the College from receiving his bequest of $2,000, be– queathed $500, which became available in 1912. -9-
PHILADELPmA FUND. In the settlement of the affairs of the Second Reformed Presbyterian congregation, of Philadelphia, the sum of $5,000 was appropriated to the College by a member of the congregation. GEORGE W. BROWNELL FUND. The late Rev. George W. Brownell, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation of West 1'fiddlesex, Pa., bequeathed to the College a portion of his estate, which amount, $200, became available in 1913. ALtJMNI FUND. At the annual meeting of the Aluuwi Association in 1910, it was decided to raise a fund to be known as, "The Alumni Endowment Fund." No limit was placed upon the amount of money to be raised, but it was hoped that eventually enough would be contributed to endow a chair in the College. There are now $400 in cash in the fund, and within the past two years about $1,000 have been pledged. Graduates of the College are urged to contribute to this fund as they can. It is a very prac. tical way to help the institution. -10-
BUILDINGS. COLLEGE HALL. The erection of College Hall was begun in the spring of 1895, and completed in the autumn of the same year. The corner– stone was laid with impressive services J une 25, 1895, and the dedication took place during the meeting of the General S)'nod 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, rhetoric, and waiting rooms. On the second floor are the Greek and Latin, psychology, science, English, F rench, Bible, econom– ics and education recitation rooms and the chemical and biological laboratories. Two large literary society halls occupy the entire third Boor. The building is lighted with natural gas and electric– ity, and heated by furnaces. Standing in the center of the beautiful campus, on the highest site in Cedarville, the building presents an attractive and imposing appearance. THE ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASilJM. In 1902, :Mr. W. J. Alford presented to the College the church building and grounds, fonnerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation (General Synod). This building was given by the donor as a gymnasium and for a memorial to his parents, the late Rev. John Alford, D. D., and Mrs. Mary B. Alford. 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. We are under la.sting gratitude to Mr. W. J. Alford for his historic gift. THE CAB.NEGIE LIBRARY. In December, 1905, M:r. Andrew Carnegie generously donated $12,000 to erect a library building for Cedarville College on condition that a like amount be added to the College endow- -n-
ment fund. 'rhis condition was fully met, and the building of brick and cut stone was completed and entered during the sum– mer of 1908. 1'he 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 be– ing added as needed. The leading periodicals are kept on the reading tables. 1'he physical laboratory aud the rooms of the Department of Domestie Science arc located in the basement of this building.
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE. LEOTtrRES AND ENTERTAINMENTS. A lecture course is maintained under the control of different Cedarville organizations. The best talent of our country and of foreign lands is secured. The students, therefore, have op. portunity to bear the best public speakers and entertainers of the day. In addition, chapel lectures are given from time to time by members of the Faculty and others. ATKLETICS. Athletic exercises are encouraged by the Faculty and the Board of Trustees. They are under the personal supervision of the President. On the College campus there are tennis courts, baseball and football grounds. Several basketball teams of each sex are organized from year to year. Their games are played in the Alford Memorial Gymnasium. LITERARY SOCIETIES. The Philadelphian Society was organized in the Fall of 1894, and the Philosophic during the Fall of 1895. These societies occupy two large, well furnished halls in the third story of College Hall. BIBLE BEADilfG CONTEST. The Rev. C. M. Ritchie, Ph. D., pastor of the Clifton, Ohio, United Presbyterian Church, annually offers prizes of seven, five, and three dollars for a Bible Reading Contest. Any member of any of the four regular collegiate classes may compete. Any chapter of the Bible or any portion of such may be read. 'rhe judges are to be a minister, a Christian layman, and a teacher -0f elocution. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. Cedarville College is a member of the Ohio Inter-collegiate Oratorical Association, which, in turn, is a division of the Inter– state 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 -lS-
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 train– ing in its contests. THE CEDRUS. An illustrated college annual, The Cedrii,s, published by the students, crystalizes the activities of the year into permanent literary and pictorial form. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES. There are four flourishing churches in town: Methodist Episcopal, Uni t e d Presbyterian, Reformed Presbyterian (Synod), Reformed Presbyterian (General Synod). Every member of the Faculty and 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 which church their children shall attend. Students of all Christian denominations are welcomed. The temptations so numerous in large cities and overcrowded colleges, are not found here. THE ALFORD PRIZE. The late Rev. John Alford, D. D., during the last few years of his life, gave a prize of twenty-five dollars, distributed among the three best speakers in the annual oratorical contest. This prize bas been continued by bis daughter, M.iss Martha Alford. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. The Young l\Ien 's Christian Association of Cedarville College was organized March 12, 1907. Like all similar societies, it ex– tends the helping hand physically, intellectually, morally, and spiritually to all the yoUDg men, thereby aiming to develop the whole man in the truest and best sense. YOONG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. The Young Women's Christian Association of Cedarville College was organized in 1909. It maintains all of those char– acteristic activities which have made this organization such a power for good among the college girls of America. -14-

This includes a tuition fee of fifteen dollars and a contingent fee of three dollars. The laboratory fees in chemistry, biology and physics arc five dollars per semester. The breakage deposit in chemistry is five dollars per semester. After breakage baa been deducted, the remainder is returned. The graduation and diploma fee, payable with the tuition fee at the beginning of the second semester of the last year of the course, is fifteen dollars to those taking the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Science, and ten dollars to those taking the degree of l\faster of Arts.

In case a student is compelled by sickness or other unavoid– able circumstances to leave the College before the middle of the semester, a rebate of one-half of the tuition fee will be granted. Otherwise no rebate will be granted. EXPENSES. Expenses at Cedarville are probably as low as can be found anywhere in the United States, and are much lower than in many 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 estimates are based upon these items. In the years in which science Courses are taken, ten dollars must be added for Iab- -27-
oratory fees and from three to ten for breakage in courses in chemistry. Only two courses in science are required, and chem– istry need not be one of them. Laboratory fees are also, there• fore, practically individual expenses. SUMMARY OF EXPENSES FOR A YEAR. (Estimated). Tuition and Contingent Fees ........................................... $ 36.00 Text.Books . 10.00 Room Rent, including Jjght and heat, $1.25 per week .. 45.00 Boarding, $3.00 per week ...................................................... 108.00 ·rota! . ...... ............$199.00 OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF.HELP. Arrangements have been made by which a limited number of students from a distance, properly recommended, may be given work sufficient to defray at least a part of their expenses. Scholarships are awarded to high schools in this and neighboring states. Assistance is given to students in finding work. Jt is believed that no young mnn or womnn, possessed of good health, energy, and determination, need be deprived of the advantages of a college education merely for the lack of means wherewith to defrny expenses. Students who are working their way through college arc honored by all at Cedarville College and arc given every encouragement and assistance in their laudable efforts to develop their powers and to fit themselves for higher spheres of usefulness. COLLEGE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU. In 1914 a College Employment Bureau was established for the benefit of Cedarville graduates and students. An effort is made to find for every student, former student, or alumnus who desires the services of the Bureau, a good position in which he can render efficient service and at the same time e11rn a good liveli– hood. As a result of the first three months' efforts of the Bureau, every member of the graduating class of 1914 who wished em• ployment was elected to a good position and several were offered -28-
two or three places. Not all accepted the positions to which they were elected, as some bad other opportunities that were more attractive to them. All who wished to teach had been definitely employed within less than ten days after commence– ment. The scope of the Bureau has since been widened and it is more efficient and resourceful than ever. No one need fear that after a course taken at Cedarville College his services will not be in demand or that be will have any serious difficulty in finding employment for his developed powers. In 1915 every member of the graduating class who wished to teach had a good position at least a week before commencement. -29-
NORMAL DEPARTMENT. COURSES OF STUDY IN THE NORMAL DEPARTMENT. In the Normal Department three courses of study a.re offered: l. A one-year teachers' review course, for the completion of which a certificate stating the amount and quality of work done will be given. 2. A four-year secondary Normal course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts and to a state provisional high school certificate. 3. A one-year secondary Normal course for college gradu– ates leading either to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Ednca.tion or to that of Master of Arts, and to the state provision– al high school certificate. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. Students will be admitted to the one-year teaehers' review course upon a consideration of individual cases. The require– ment for admission to the two-year elementary normal course, and to the four-year secondary normal course is graduation from the Preparatory Department of Cedarville College, from a high school of the 6rst grade, or from some other secondary school of equal standing. The requirement for admission to the one-year secondary normal course is a Bachelor's degree from Cedarville College or from some institution of equal standing. ONE-YEAR TEACHERS' REVIEW COURSE. Students in the one-year teachers' review course are per– mitted to select from the studies below those that are best suited to their needs, subject to the schedule of the semester and the approval of the Faculty. -30-

The normal course for the professional training of high school teachers covers four full college years of thirty-six weeks each, and its completion requires residence work to the amount of one hundred and thirty-six credits or semester-hours. A credit or semester-hour is one recitation or lecture period per week for one semester of eighteen weeks. Upon the completion of this course the student receives from Cedarville College a diploma of graduation, and the degree of Bachelor of Arts. From the Department of Public Instruc– tion of the State of Ohio, he receives, without examination, -31-
a provisional certificate entitling him to teach in any high school or to superintend schools in any school district in the State for a period of four years. After the holder of this provisional certificate has taught upon it successfully for twenty-four months, he is given, also without any examination, a state life high school certificate. In order to secure the four-year high school certificate, the student must complete all of the requirements in Cedarville Col– lege for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and in the one hundred and twenty semester-hours required for this degree he must in– clude the following professional courses : General Sociology ..

Much of this work can be done in the summer session, and in this way the two degrees, and the State high school certificate can all be obtained at the same time. -33-
At the close of the course the student must write and publicly deliver a.n original oration upon a subject approved by the Faculty. The title of the oration must be submitted on or before Deeember first preceding graduation and a complete copy of the oration on or before April first. The limit of work in the Normal Department is the same as in the Collegiate Department, except that one or two high school studies may be taken in review in addition to the fifteen or eighteen collegiate or normal credits allowed. DEFINITION OF SEMESTER-HOUR. A "semester-hour," or "credit" is one recitation a week for one semester. A student completing fifteen hours of col– legiate or normal work a week for one semester receives fifteen credits, and if such work is continued for a full year, he receives thirty credits, which is considered full work for one year. ONE-YEAR COURSE FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES. The one-year normal course is open only to those holding bachelor's degrees from Cedarville College or institutions of similar standing. 1t leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from Cedarville College, and in case all requirements of the state school laws are met, to the four-year state high school provisional certificate. These requirements call for thirty hours of strictly professional work, and whatever of this the student has not obtained in his undergraduate course, can easily be made up in meeting the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education. The requirements for this degree are thirty semester-hours of work, of which twenty.four must be in recitation or lecture work. 'f hc remaining six may be given for work on a thesis. These requirements can be completed or– dinarily within one collegiate year. Or the student may do the work for this degree entirely in the summer sessions, obtaining eight semester-hours of credit in each of three summers, complet– ing his thesis for the remaining six semester-hours in the suc– ceeding college year, and receiving his degree at the next com– mencement. But the work on the thesis cannot be counted as a. -34-

But in most cases the candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education will have had in his undergraduate course such an amount of professional work that twenty-four semester-hours will be more than ample to make up the state requirements. All work taken for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education must be strictly professional in character, falling within such subjects as education, psychology, ethics, philosophy or sociology. The thesis also must be along educational lines. NORMAL COURSE FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS. College gruduates desiring to complete the requirements for a state high school certificate and have the courses taken for this purpose count towards the degree of Master of Arts can do so by merely complying with the conditions upon which that degree is granted by Cedarville College. The requirements arc as follows; Major Study . Minor Study . E lectives Thesis. Total .. Semester-hours 6 6 12 6 30 The student can take one o[ the subjects required by the law for his certificate as his major study, another for his minor study, and still others for his electives, and in this way get both his degree and the state certificate. STATE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT. Cedarville College was recognized as a regular institution for the professional training o[ teachers, April 16, 1915. All of the requirements of the school laws in regard to the training of high school teachers are fully complied with, and full normal credit can be obtained for all work done in this department. -35-
WORK ACCEPTED BY STATE NORMAL COLLEGES. Complete arrangements have been formally made with the State Normal Colleges at Athens and at Oxford whereby all work done at Cedarville is given full credit in case the student wishes to continue his professional training in either of these institutions. RATES OF TUITION. The fee for instruction in the Normal Department is eighteen dollars per semester, payable upon the opening day. This in– cludes a tuition fee of fifteen dollars and a contingent fee of three dollars. The graduation and diploma fee, payable with the tuition fee at the beginning of the second semester of the last year of the course, is fifteen dollars. For other expenses, see page 28. -JJ6·-
PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.

A Patterson certificate or satisfactory grades from public schools will excuse an applicant from examination in all subjects except English grammar. In English grammar, an examination based on Reed and Kellogg's Higher English must be taken by all applicants for admission to the Preparatory Department. Those failing to obtain a grade of sixty-five per cent. in this examination will be admitted, but required to take a review course in English grammar throughout the first year.
