1916 Summer School Catalog

SCENIC AND HISTORIC ATTRACTIONS. The vicinity of Cedarville is noted for its beautiful scenery and its points of historic interest. The Little Miami River, the Clifton Gorge, the great Steamboat Rock, the Cedar ville Cliffs, the Indian mound, the old stone house, the old fort, the original scene of '' Ten Nights in a Bar Room,'' the birthplace and country home of the late Whitelaw Reid, the headquarters of Tecumseh, are all near enough to the village to afford attractive obj ective points for pleasant "hiking" expeditions or drives. LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS. Lectures, addresses, readings, vocal and instrumental selec– tions, and other entertainments are given in chapel from day to day by members of the faculty and many others. Last year the events of the summer session were closed with an entertainment given by a chorus of sixty trained voices. The choral selections were freely interspersed with solos, duets, readings and other performances. A similar entertainment will be given in 1916. A regular five-day chautauqua program of musical, liter ary, scientific and oratorical talent is now being arranged for one of the six weeks of the term. Some of the best talent on the plat– form will appear in this program. THE STORY HOUR. Miss Pearl Carpenter, of Covington, Ky., P resident of the Cincinnati Story League, and a chautauqua and institute lecturer of considerable note, will give a full week of story telling and instruction in this valuable art. Both the story hour and Mis Carpenter's lectures on the art of instruction through stori es, will be open to all without extra charge. MORAL AND RELIGIOUS INFLUENCES. Cedarvil'le College is decidedly a Christian institution. The moral and religious needs of the students are constantly kept in mind. The building of good, strong character is regarded as the central aim of all education and the only sure foundation fo r the highest efficiency. While the religion of Christ permeates the spirit of the school, it is dominated by no narr ow denomination– alism, and students of all religious beliefs will find themselves welcome and at home here. -8-
