EDAR ILLE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY RELATIONS WITH CEDARVILLE COLLEGE The Seminary is in close affiliation with the College which gives the students of the Seminary special opportunities. All of the courses and facilities of the college are open to them. BUILDINGS All of the College buildings, College Hall, Carnegie Library, Science Hall, and Alford Gymnasium, are used by the Seminary. LIBRARY FACILITIES Students have access to three libraries-that of the Seminary itself of Cedarville College, and of Cedarville Township. These are hous;d in the Carnegie Library and College Hall. ADMISSION Students for the ministry from all Christian denominations are welcomed. Applicants for admission should come certified as stu– dents for the ministry by the proper ecclesiastical aufiliorities, or presenting certificates of good moral character from responsible persons. High school and college diplomas or certificates showing the work done in preparation for the Seminary course should also be presented. The scholastic requirement for admission to the seminary is graduation from a high school of the first grade or preparatory work equivalent thereto. Students lacking in these entrance requirements may enter the preparatory department of the college until they have completed their entrance requirements, when they may be entered in the theologica,l seminary. It is earnestly recommended that all students for the ministry either complete a collegiate course before entering the seminary, or else pursue a coilegiate course along with their seminary work, and complete both before entering upon the active work of the ministry.
