HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE t the meeting- of the General Synod of the Reformed Presby– terian hurch in orth merica, in Duanesburgh, N. -y., ~ay 24, 1 79, the Re . J. F. 'Iorton, D. D., presented a.pap~r w.h1c~ maugu~– ated th movement in the church for a collegia~e mstitution,. This paper was unanimously adopt d, and a committee, of w~nch Dr. Morton was chairman, was appointed to carry out the proJect. At a later meeting of the Synod, Rev. John Alford, D. D., ?f Be.a-yer Falls, Pa .. was appointed financial agent and succeeded m ra1s~ng over $10,000 in subscriptions and cash throughou~ thE: c~urch. dun~g the following year. At the meeting of the Synod m Cmcmnab, 0~10, the Rev. David Steele, D. D., on May 26, 1885, offered a resolution that the college be started as soon as possible and loc.ated in or near edarville Ohio. This motion was passed unanimously. The following 'committee was appointed to secure the site: Rev. J . F . Morton, D. D.; Me srs. Thomas Gibson, R. Park, Hugh M?Collum, Jr.; and H. H. McMillan. 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 Marc'h 11 1887, the incorporators met in Cedarville and elected themselve~ the first Board of Trustees of Cedarville College, with Mr.· Thomas Gibson, president, who served in that capacity until his death. At the meeting of Synod in May, 1887, the following persons 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 Presbyterian Church of that city, had left $25,000 for the college in memory of his father, Peter Gibson, an elder of the Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Cincinnati for a long period of years. Again the Board of Trustees took up the work and at . the meeting of Synod in Coulterville, Ill., on May 18, 1894, the college was launched with Rev. David McKinney, D. D., as president, who served in that capacity for twenty-one yearn. Rev. J. F. Morton, D. D., was chosen vice-president. Rev. W. R. McChesney, D. D., was chosen the first professor, beginning his work for the college, July 10, 1894. Upon the resignation of Dr. McKinney in 1915, Dr. McChesney was elected president. The first faculty consisted of Rev. David McKinney, D. D., president; Rev. James F. Morton, D. D., vice-president and professor of English Bible; W. Renwick McChesney, A. M., secretary and professor of Ancient Languages; Carrie Blair, professor of Mathematics; 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 instruction to thirty-six students in the fine old mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan, D. D., the first pastor of the Main Street Reformed Presbyterian congregation of Cedarville. In this place three-qu~rters of a century ago, Dr. McMillan taught an academy, from. which graduated a number of illustrious men. These quarters provmg too hampered for the work. the new building was erected and entered the following year. The cornerstone of this building was laid with impressive services on June 25 1895 and the dedica– tion took place during the meeting of Synod in 1896. early three hundred young men and women have graduated trom ~he College and are successfully following honorable callings m various parts of the world. Cedarville College has a wide and favora~l~ re~utation for thorough work. It has been honored by such d1stmgmshed men as W. J. Alford, Esq., Andrew Carnegie and Ambassador Whitelaw Reid among its benefactors. PAGE SIX
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE Cedarville College has a productive endowment of $141,743.85. In 1913 the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary of Phila– delphia was removed to Cedarville and affiliated with the college. This institution has an, endowment fund of $36,445 and a students' aid fund of $38,953.48. The College and Seminary combined have endowments totaling $217,152 .33. At the present time a campaign is on to raise $200,000 for new buildings and additional endowment funds . At the present date, October 8, 1921, the sum of $136,000 has been ;raised towards t his goal in cash and pledges, leaving a balance of $64,000 yet to be raised. The outlook for the future of the College is bright. We appeal to alumni and friends to join with u s in making the coming years, by our contributions, prayers and efforts, the best yet. PURPOSE OF TBE COLLEGE The purpose of Cedarville College i:;: to secure a high modern 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 .

It is in the northern part of the Miami Valley, and has one of the most beautiful and healthful locations iri 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 reg'ion and no better society than in this community. BlliLrnNGSAND~QUWMENT ~OLLEGE HALL College Hall is the main building of the institution. It is a handsome edifice of pressed brick and cut stone. On the first floor are the chapel, class ropms a-µd waitir;ig rooms. On the second floor are recitation rooms and the chemical and biological labor-atories. Two large literary ,society halls occupy the entire third floor. Stand– ing in the center of the beautiful campu~, on the highest site in Cedarville, the building presents an attractive and imposing appear– ance. THE ALfORD ~EMORIAL GYM,NASIUM In 1902, Mr. W. J, Alford presented to the College the churc'h building, formerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian con– gregation (General Synod). This building given by the d-onor as a memorial to his pa1;\'lnts, the late Re.v. John ,Alford, D. D., and Mrs. Mary B. Alford, has been named the "Alford Memorial Gym– nasium." It is seventy feet long and fifty feet wide, provided with dressing rooms and shower baths, and furnishes an excellent place for a gymnasium. PAGE SEVEN 1

The first and second floors will provide space for Freshman and advanced Chemistry, College Physics and Biology. These rooms will be well furnished with the latest equipment for the study of the sciences. Electricity, atural Gas and running water will be available in all departments.

ENDOWMENT The total amount of the endowment of the College on October 8, 1921, was $141,743.85 .

The athletic sports chiefly in vogue at Cedarville are foot ball, basket ball, base ball, track and tennis. LITERARY SOCIETIES The Philadelphian Society, organized in 1894, and the Philo– sophic in 1895, have both been displaced by the Orange and Blue Club, organized in 1917. This organization affords many opportun– ities for the development of literary and oratorical talent.
