HISTORICAL ST AT EMENT 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 "\i\Tednesday, Septem– ber 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. 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. The Alford gymnasium was presented to the College in 1902, and the Carnegie Library was completed in 1908. ' 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. 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 Colum– bus; seventy-three miles northeast ot 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 coun– try 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 a,nd no better society than in this community. 6
INCOME AND ENDOWMENT INCOME The income of Cedarville College consists of the interest from its endowment, voluntary subscriptions and offerings from friends, contributions from the different congregations under the care of the General Synod of the Reformed Pres– byterian Church, and the tuition fees of the students. ENDOWMENT PETER GIBSON FUND Cedarville College practically had its origin in the liberality 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 Presbyterian congregation of Cincinnati and president of the Board of Trus– tees 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 ],1. 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 amount– ed to $4,000. HARPER FUND Mr. George W. Harper and wife, of Cedarville, generously gave $5,000 for the founding and maintenance of a chair of sociology and economics, provided the friends of the College 6
ENDOWMENT FUNDS raised an additional $5,000. The condition was more than complied with, about $7,000 being raised. JAMES BURNEY LYONS FUND Mr. J ohn 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 vVar. 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 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 t o 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 will pre– vented the College from receiving his bequest of $2,000, be– queathed $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 $5,000 was appropriated to the College by a member of the congre– gation. 7
ENDOWMENT F NDS GEORGE W. BROWNELL FUND The late Rev. George W. Brownell, pastor of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation of v,.r est Middlesex, Pa., bequeathed to the College a portion of his estate, which amount, $2,000, became available in 1913. ALUMNI FUND At the annual meeting of the Alumni 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 contrihuted to endow a chair in the College. This fund now amounts to 1,000, 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 $1,800. ANONYMOUS FUND A generous friend of the College, who declines to reveal his identity, during the second year of President McChesney's administration, contributed the sum of $5,000 to the endow– ment fund. JEMIMA PAYNE FUND In 1917, Mr. James Adam, of New York City, donait:ed $2,000 to the general endowment fund in memory of his aunt, Jemima Payne. 8
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 aibout three hundred trees. It is a handsome edifice of pressed brick and cut stone. On the first floor are the chapel, class rooms and waiting rooms. On the second floor are recitation rooms and the chemical and biolog– ical laboratories. Two large literary society halls occupy the entire third floor. Standing in the center of the beautiful campus, on the highest site in Cedarville, the building pre– sents an attractive and imposing appearance. THE ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM In 1902, Mr. Vv. J. Alford presented to the College the church building, formerly the property of the Reformed Pres– byterian congregation (General Synod). This building, 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 Gynasium." It is seventy feet long and fifty feet wide, provided with dressing rooms and shower baths, and furnishes an excellent place for a gynasium. THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY In December, 1905, Mr. Andrew Carnegie donated $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 equip– ment with a capacity for 17,000 vo lumes. 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. The rooms of the Department of Home Economics are in the basement of this building. 9
SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE LECT URES AND ENT ERTA IN MENTS A lecture course is maintained under the control of differ– ent 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 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 MemoriaI Gymnasium. LITERARY SOCIETIES The Philadelphian Society was organized in the fall of 1894, and the Philosophic during the fall of 1895. These societi·es occupy two large, well-furnished halls in the third story of College Hall. The Orange and Blue Club, or ganized in 1917, affords additional opportunities for intensive t raining t o those especially interested in liter ary work. BIBLE READING CONTEST The Rev. C. 1\'T. Ritchie, Ph. D ., D. D ., forme rly pastor of the Clifton, Ohio, United Presbyterian Church, founded a Bib le 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 r egular collegiate classes may compete. Any chapter of the Bible or any portion of such may be r ead. 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 I nter-collegiate Oratorical Association, which, in turn, is a division of the In10
REL IGIOUS ADVANTAGES t erstate Association, including ten of t he leading States of the Middle West. A pr eliminary orator ical cont est is held during the first semester of each year , t he winner repr esenting t he College in the State contest. T he winn er of the latter repre– sents the State of Ohio in the Inter-state contest. This asso– ciation with which the Co ll ege is connected is the oldest and largest oratorical association in t he Un ited St ates, many of the eminent statesmen and orators of the day having received much of their early training in its contests. JOHN ALFORD PRIZE The late Rev. John Alford, D. D ., duri ng t he last few years of his life, gave a prize of twenty-five dollars, distributed among the three best speakers in the annual oratorical cont est . This prize has been continued by his daughter , Miss Martha Alford. THE CEDRUS An illustrated college annual, The Cedrus, publi shed by the students, crystalizes the activities of the year into permanent literary and pictorial form. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES There are four churches in Cedarvill e: Methodist Episcopal, United Presbyterian, Reformed Presbyterian (Synod) and Re– formed 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 parents, 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 Co l– lege was organized March 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. YOUNG WOMEN 'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION The Young Woman'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. 11

In the ear in which cience courses are taken, t en dollars must be added for laboratory fe , and from three to ten dollars for breakage in course in chemistry.

Scholarships are awarded to high schools in this and neighboring states. Assistance is given to students in find– ing work. It is believed that no young man or woman, 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 defray expenses. Students who are working their way through college 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 <lesires 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. 22
NORMAL DEPARTMENT COU RSES OF STUDY IN THE NORMA L DEPARTMENT In the Normal Department two courses of study are offered: 1. A four-year secondary normal course leading to the de– gree of Bachelor of Arts, and to a state provisional high school certificate. 2. A one-year secondary normal course for college grad– uates leading either to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education, or to that of Master of Arts, and to the state provisional high school certificate. REQUIRE MENTS FOR ADMISSION The requirements for <1dmission to the four-year secondary normal course is graduation from the Preparatory Department of Cedarville College, from a high school of the first grade, or from some other secondary school of equal standing.

FOUR-YEAR COURSE FOR HIGH 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 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 epartment of Public Instruction of the tate of Ohio he receives, without examination, a pro– vi ional certificate entitling him to t ach in any high school, or to uperintend chools in any school district in the state for a period of four years.

The limit of work in the Normal Department is the same as in the Collegiate Department, except that one or two high school studies m:iy be taken in revi~w, in addition to the fifteen or eighteen collegiate or normal credits allowed. ONE-YEAR COURSE FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES The one-year normal course is open only to those holding Bachelor's degrees from Cedarville Collge, or institutions of similar standing. It leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from Cedarville College, and in case all require– ments of the state school laws arc 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 25
ORMAL OUR E FOR . M. DEGREE course, can easily be made np in meeting the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of ... cicnce in Education. The require– ments for thi degree are thirty semester-hours of work, of which twenty-four mu. t be in recitation or lecture work. The remaining ix may be given for work on a thesis. These re– quirements can be completed ordinarily within one collegiate year. But the work on the thesis cannot be counted as a part of the requirements for the state high chool certificate, and if the student requires the full amount of thirty hours of pro– fessional work in order 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 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 require– ments. 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, phil– osophy, or sociology. The thesis also must be along educa– tional lines. NORMAL COURSE FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Coll ege 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 upon which that degree is granted by Cedarville College. The requirements are as follows : Semester-hours Major Study ---------------------------- ------- ·-------------·----------------------------·-- 6 Minor Study ___ ·-- ---·--------- ·--------------------- ··------------ ·-------------------------- 6 Electives --------------------·--·----------------------------·-------------------------------- ·- 12 Thesis ----·. ---------· ___ ·-----·----------- ·---. ------ --·_ ..----------------------------- ___ ·---- 6 Total. ___________ ------------------ _________· __ _______ ·-·---------------------·------------ 30 The student can take some of the subjects required by the law for his certificate as his major study, others for his minor study, and still others for his electives, and in this way get both his degree and the state certificate.
