HISTORICAL STATEMENT Cedarvil1e College is under the control of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. Itwas char– tered 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 presi– dent and continued in this capacity for twenty-one years. Rev. Wilbert Renwick McChesney, Ph.D., D. D., has the distinction of being the first professor of the new college, and in 1915 he was elected to succeed Doctor 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 sev– eral years before. Both the buildings and the campus are the gifts of generous friends. 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 Cedar ville is level, fer– tile, improved, and in every way suited for a pleasant resi– dence. 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.
INCOME AND ENDOWMENT INCOI\IE 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 Pres– byterian Church, and the tuition fees of the students. ENDOWIIIENT PETER GIBSON FUND Cedarville College practically had its origin in the lib– erality of William Gibson, of Cincinnati, 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 Presbyterian congregation of Cincinnati. By compromise with the heirs, the trustees accepted $20,000 in full settlement. THOMAS GIBSON FUND Thomas Gibson, an elder in the First Reformed Presby– terian congregation of Cincinnati and president of the Board of Trustees of Cedarville College, left a bequest of $5,000, which came into the possession of the College in 1910. ROBERT M. COOPER FUND By the will of Robert M. Cooper, a ruling elder in the Cedarville Reformed Presbyterian congregation, the College in 1903 came into possession of two-thirds of his estate, which amounted to $4,000. -7-
ENDOWMENT FUNDS HARPER FUND Mr. George 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 raised an additional $5,000. The condition was more than complied with, about $7,000 being raised. JAMES BURNEY LYONS FUND Mr. John R. Lyons, of Marissa, Illinois, gave $700 as a memorial to his son, James Burney 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 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 inter– est on $5,000 on Ma:v 14th and November 14th, each year, from McLeod Memorial Fund, in memory of Drs. Alexander McLeod and John Neil McLeod, father and son, whose com– bined pastorates of the 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. PITTSBURGH FUND The First Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Pitts– burgh, now the Tabernacle Presbyterian 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. MARGARET A. HUNTER FUND The late Margaret A. Hunter, of Philadelphia, sister of the late William J. McAllister, the contesting of whose wi11 prevented the College from receiving his bequest of $2,000, bequeathed $500, which became available in 1912. PHILADELPHIA FUND In the settlement of the affairs of the Second Reformed Presbyterian congregation, of Philadelphia, the sum of -8-
ENDOWMENT FUNDS $5,000 was appropriated -to the College by a member of the congregation. GEORGE W. BROWNELL FUND The late Rev. George W. Browne11, pastor of the Re– formed Presbyterian congregation of West Middlesex, Pa., bequeathed to the College a portion of his estate, which amount, $200, became available in 1913. ALUMNI FUND At the annual meeting of the Alumni Association in 1910, it was decided to l'aise a fund to be known as "The Alumni Endo\vment 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 Col– lege. This fund now amounts to $740, and much more has been pledged. DARLINGTON FUND The Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Darlington, Pa., has contributed to the general endowment fund the sum of $1,750. ANONYMOUS FUND A generous friend of the College, who declines to reveal his identity, during the first year of President McChesney's administration, contributed the sum of $5,000 to the endow– ment fund. -9-
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 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, class rooms aond waiting rooms. On the second floor are recitation rooms and the chemical and biological laboratories. Two large Jiterary society halls occupy the entire third floor. 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 GYMNASIUM In 1902, Mr. W. J. Alford presented to the College the church building, formerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation (General Synod). This build– ing, given by the donor as a memorial to his parents, the late Rev. John Alford, D. D., and Mrs. Mary B. Alford, has been named the "Alford Memorial Gymnasium." It is sev– enty feet long and fifty feet wide, provided with dressing rooms and shower baths, and furnishes an excellent place for a gymnasium. THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY In December, 1905, Mr. Andrew Carnegie donated $12,000 to erect a library building for Cedarville College on condi– tion 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 period– icals are kept on the reading tables. The rooms of the Department of Household Economy are in the basement of this building. -10-
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS -LIFE LECTURES ANO ENTERTAINMENTS A lecture course is maintained under the control of dif– ferent Cedarville organizations. The best talent of our ,country and of foreign lands is secured. The students, therefore, have opportunity to hear 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. ATHLETICS Athletic exercises are encouraged by the Faculty and the Board of Trustees. On the College campus there are ten– nis courts, baseball and football grounds. Several basket– ball 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 READING CONTEST The Rev. C. M. Ritchie, Ph.D., D.D., formerly pastor of the Clifton, Ohio, United Presbyterian Church, founded a Bible Reading Contest, annually offering prizes of seven, five, and three dollars. These prizes have been continued by Miss Margaret Rife, '16. 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. The judges are to be a minister, a Christian layman, and a teacher of elocution. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION Cedarville College is a member of the Ohio Inter-col– legiate Oratorical Association, which, in turn, is a division of the Interstate Association, including ten of the leading States of the Middle West. A preliminary orat.orical con– test is held during the first semester of each year, the win- - 11 -
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE ner representing the College in the State contest. The win– ner of the latter represents the State of Ohio in the Inter– state 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 ora– tors of the day having received much of their early training in its contests. 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, distrib– uted among the three best speakers in the annual oratorical contest. This prize has been continued by his daughter, Miss Martha Alford. THE CEDRUS An illustrated college annual, The Cedrus, published by the students, crystalizes the activities of the year into per– manent literary and pictorial form. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES There are four churches in Cedarville: Methodist Episcopal, United Presbyterian, Reformed Presbyterian (Synod) and Reformed Presbyterian (General Synod). 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 par– ents, who are requested to send their written wishes as to which church their children shall attend. Students of all Christian denominations are welcomed. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young Men's Christian Association of Cedarville College was organized March 12, 1907. Like all similar societies, it extends the helping hand physically, intellectu– ally, morally and spiritually to all the young men, thereby aiming to develop the whole man in the truest and best sense. YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young Women's Christian Association of Cedarville 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. -12-

In case a student is compelled by sickness or other un– avoidable 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, there– fore, better estimate them for himself. College fees, board– ing, 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 laboratory fees, and from three to ten dollars for breakage in courses in chemistry. Only two courses in science are required, and chemistry need not -23-
COLLEGE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU be one of them. Laboratory fees are a]so, therefore, prac– tica1ly individual expenses.

Scholarships are awarded to high schools in this and neighboring states. Assistance is given to stu– dents in finding work. It is believed that no young man or woman, possessed of good health, energy, and determina– tion, need be deprived of the advantages of a college educa– tion merely for the lack of means wherewith to defray ex– penses. Students who are woi·king their way through col– lege are honored by all at Cedarville College, and are 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 earn a good livelihood. So successful has the Bureau been that every senior who wishes to teach is nearly always employed in a good position before commencement. No one need fear that after a course taken at Cedarville College his services will not be in demand, or that he will have any difficulty in finding employment for his developed powers. -24-
NORMAL DEPARTMENT COURSES OF STUDY IN THE NORMAL DEPAHTMENT In the Normal Department two courses of study are offered: 1. A four-year secondary normal course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and to a state provisional high school certificate. 2.

FOUR-YEAR COURSE FOR RIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS 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 semes– ter-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 Pub– lic Instruction of the State of Ohio he receives, without ex– amination, a provisional certificate entitling him to teach in any high school, or to superintend schools in any school _,. _
HIGH SCHOOL NORMAL COURSE district in the state for a period of four years. After the holder of this provisional certificate has taught upon it suc– cessfu11y 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 Cedar– ville College for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and in the one hundred and twenty semester-hours required for this degree he must include the following professional courses: Semester-hours General Sociology ------------------------------- 3 Ethics ________ ___ ___ _____ _____ ____ ______ _______ _ 3 General Psychology ------------ ------------------ 3 Educational Psychology __________________________ 3 Paido1ogy --------------------------------------- 3 Science of Education______________________________ 3 History of Education_____________________________ 3 School Management______________________________ 3 School Organization and School Law_______________ 3 Methods of Teaching______________________________ 3 High School Methods_____________________________ 3 Observation of Teaching__________________________ 2 Practice Teaching -------------------------------- 2 In addition to this, the student must complete at least sixeen semester-hours of review of high school studies with methods of teaching the same.

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. The limit of work in the Normal Department is the same as in the ColJegiate 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.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE B. S. IN E. DEGREE Bachelor's degrees from Cedarville College, or institutions of similar standing. It 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. The remaining six may be given for work on a thesis. These requirements can be completed ordinarily 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, completing his thesis for the remaining six semes– ter-hours in the succeeding college year, and receiving his degree at the next commencement. But the work on the thesis cannot be counted as a part of the requirements for the state high school certificate, and if the student requires the full amount of thirty hours of professional work in or– der to obtain this certificate, then all of this work must be done in regular class-room work. But in most cases the candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Educa– tion 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 re– quirements. All work taken for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education must be strictly professional in character, fall– ing within such subjects as education, psychology, ethics, philosophy, or sociology. The thesis also must be along educational lines. NORMAL COURSE FOR THE DEGREB' OF l\lASTER OF ARTS College graduates desiring to complete the requirements for a state high school certificate, and have the courses taken for this purpose count toward the degree of Master of Arts, can do so by merely complying with the conditions upqn which that degree is granted by Cedarville College. The requirements are as follows : -28-
