HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE At the meeting of the General Synod of the Reformed Pres– byterian Church in North America, in Duancsburgh, N. Y., May 24, 1879, the Rev. J. F. Morton, D. D., presented a paper which inaugurated the movement in the church for a collegiate institution. This paper was unanimously adopted and a com– mittee, of which Dr. Morton was chairman, was appointed to carry out the project. At a later meeting of the Synod, Rev. ~~i11 a:~~~ri;1J'~~~~e 0 :d~J~~~e~afs~::~ ::~~ '$~{),o88~i1~11 :~b~;~~= tions and cash throughout the church during the following year. At the meeting of the Synod in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Rev. David Steele, D. D., on May 26, 1885, offered a resolution that the college be started as soon as possible and located in or near Cedarville, Ohio. This motion was passed unanimously. The following committee was appointed to secure the site: Rev. J. F. Morton, D. D., Messrs. Thomas Gibson, R. Park, Hugh McCollum, Jr., and H. 1-L Mdlillan. On January 20, 1887, the committee became incorporated under the laws of Ohio and on the 26th day of January, 1887, they obtained a charter for "The Cedarville College." On March 11, 1887, the incorporators met in Cedarville and elected themselves the first Board of Trustees of Cedarville College, with 1fr. Thomas Xt:~~ 1 • i~::t~;'~f s~~osJri~eii~~~ 1 ;887~ t~~i fu1 ~~~~iiln:i;:r~~~l~ were added to this first Board of Trustees: Robert Abbott, James Patterson, Alexander Kerr, and Ephraim Young. The enterprise then slumbered until the meeting of Synod in Cedarville in 1892, when the Ohio Presbytery reported that William Gibson, Esq., of Cincinnati, an elder in the Presby– terian Church of that city, had left $25,000 for the college in memory of his father, Peter Gibson, an cider of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Cincinnati for a long period of years.

HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE years. Rev. J. F. :Morton, D. D., was chosen vice-president. Rev. VV. R. l\lcChesney, D. D., was chosen the first professor, beginning his work for the college, July 10, 1894. Upon the resignation of Dr. l\lcKinney in 1915, Dr. 1•lcChesncy was elected president. The first faculty were Rev. David McKin– ney, D. D., president; Rev. James F. Morton, D. D., vice– president and Professor of English Bible; VV. Renwick Mc· Chesney, A. 1\1., secretary and Professor of Ancient Lan– guages; Carrie Blair, P rofessor of l\Iathematics; Frank H. Dean, A. B., Professor of English and Science, and Belle Beazell, Professor of Music. On September 19, 1894, the College was opened for instruc– tion to thirty-six students .in the fine old mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan, D. D., the first pastor of the l\tain Street Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Cedar• ville. In this place three-quarters of a century ago, Dr. l\lc– Millan taught an academy, from which graduated a number of illustrious men. These quarters proving too hampered for the work, the new buildin!? was erected and entered the following year. The cornerstone of this building was laid with impres– sive services on June 25, 1895, and the dedication took place during the meeting of Synod in 1896. More than two hundred young men and women have grad– uated from the College and are successfully following honor– able callings in various parts of the world. Cedarville College has a wide and favorable reputation for thorough standard work. It has been honored by such distinguished men as W. J. Alford, Esq., Andrew Carnegie and A mbassador \Vhite– law Reid among its benefactors. Cedarville College has a productive endowment of $103,00J. In 1913, the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminar;,: of Philadelphia was added to its departments of instruction. fhis institution has an endowment fund of $36,455 and a students· aid fund of $38,953.48. The College and Seminary combined have endowments totaling $178,408.48. VVithin a few years the College will receive $25,000 additional from wills. Just now there is a campaign on to raise $25,000 for our English Bible chair. A considerable amount has been contributed to this sum. The outlook for the future of the College is bright. Much more could be written on the history of the twenty-five years just closing. Suffice it for us to appeal to alumni and friends to join with us in making the coming years, by our contributions, prayers, and efforts the best yet.
PURPOSE AND LOCATION PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE The purpose of Cedarville College is to secure a high mod– ern form of literary and scientific education under careful supervision and Christian influences, without restriction of personal opinion, and with open door and equal privileges to both sexes and to all classes and conditions of men. LOCATION Cedarville College is situated in Cedarville, Greene County, Ohio, which is located on the Little Miami D ivision of the ;:~~snbu~~~sc;it~!~~::~t c:ri~u~b~t~ ;L~~~:n~;~~;::: £~~~~; 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, 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 community.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMEN T College Hall College Hall is the main building of the institution. It is a handsome edifice of pressed brick and cut stone. On the fi rst 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 presents an attractive and imposing appearance. The Alford Memorial Gymnasium In 1902, Mr. W. J. Alford presented to" the College the b~~;~i~nb~~~~~g!~ro:c(3'e~:~ars;:~~~)~f •~t~s ~~~d~~~ ::~~~ 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 seventy feet long and fifty feet wide, provided with dressing rooms and shower baths, and furnishes an excellent place for a gymnasium. T he Carnegie Library In December, 1905, Mr. Andrew Carnegie donated $12,00Cl 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 volumes. 'l'hc village and College libraries have been combined, and new volumes arc being added as needed. The leading periodicals are kept on the reading tables.
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.

T his 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.

TIME REQUIRED O rdinarily the completion of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Arts Curriculum takes four years. THE ARTS-EDUCATION CURRICULUM Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts and the State High School Certificate This curriculum is intended for those who wish a regular collegiate education and in addition thorough preparation for teaching in high schools. Its completion requires residence work to the amount of one hundred and thirty-six credits or semester-hours. Upon the completion of this course the student receives from Cedarville College a diploma of graduation, and the 20
THE ARTS-EDUCATION CURRICULUM degree of Bachelor of Arts. From the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Ohio he receives, without exami– nation, a provisional certificate entitling him to teach in any high school, or to superintend schools in any school distrist in the state for a period of four years. After the holder of this pro– visional certificate has taught upon it successfully for twenty– four months, he is given, also without any examination, a state life high-school certificate. The enormous demand for high school teachers during the last few years and the consequent increase in salaries has made the teaching profession attractive to those qualified to fill the higher positions. The return to the teaching profession of thousands of trained and experienced teachers who have been engaged in military service and in war work of various sorts will necessitate a high degree of professional training on the part of those who have been filling their places during the war and of those who aspire to compete with them in the future. ~o~h~~1~c~~rt;~~~ \~t~~~ts~ 0 t;~;::i:1n ~~ 1 , :t ~ufJ°J;;s;~~~~n~ 0 \:i~h anything less than a bachelor's degree and a state high school certificate, together with the intellectual and moral attain– ments that they represent.

This includes a tuition fee of fifteen dollars and a contingent fee of five dollars. The laboratory fees in chemistry, biology and physics are five dollars per semester. The breakage de– posit in chemistry is five dollars per semester. After breakage has been deducted, the remainder is returned. The graduation and diploma fee, payable with the ~uition 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.
