HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE t the m ting of th G neral ynod of the R formed Presby– terian hurch in orth America, in Duanesburgh, N. Y., May 24, 1 79 the Rev. J. F. Morton, D. D., presented a paper which inaugur– ated the movement in the church for a collegiate institution. This paper was unanimously adopted, and a committee, of which Dr. Morton was chairman, was appointed to carry out the project. At a later meeting of the 'ynod, Rev. John Alford, D. D., of Beaver Falls, Pa., , as appointed financial agent and succeeded in raising over $10,000 in subscriptions 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. 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 March 11, 1887, the incorporators met in Cedarville and elected themselves the first Board of Trustees of Cedarville College, with Mr. Thomas Gibs.on, 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 the 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 years. 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 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. <;>n September 19, .1894, the College was opened for instruction to th1rty-s1x stu~ents m the fine old mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan, D. D., the first pastor of the Main Street ~eformed Presbyterian congregation of Cedarville. In this place tnree-qu~rters of a century ago, Dr. McMillan taught an academy, from. which graduated a number of illustrious men. These quarters provmg too hampered ~or the work, the new building was erected and e~tere.d t~e followmg year. The cornerstone of this building V:'as laid with impressive services on June 25, 1895, and the dedica– tion took place during the meeting of Synod in 1896. Nearly three hundred young men and women have graduated !rom ~he College and are successfully following honorable calli ngs }° varrn,us parts (!f the world. Cedarville College has a wide and avorabie reputation for thorough work. It has been honored by PAGE SIX

SOCIAL AND RELIGIOUS LIFE LECTURES AND CONCERTS The Cedarville Lyceum A.iSsociation each year presents a lecture and concert course which is open to students for a nominal fee. Chapel lectures are also given from time to time by members of the faculty and others. ATHLETICS AND GYMNASTICS Gymnastic exercises are r equired of all students in the col– legiate and normal departments, unless excused for physical disa– bility, labor necessary for self-support or voluntary participation in athletic contests. Athletic exercises are under the direct control of an Athletic Council composed of the President of the College, Ath– letic Director, two Trustees of the College, two Alumni, one member of the Senior class and one member of the Junior class. Direct super– vision of athletics is vested in an Executive committee composed of the Athletic Director, the College Treasurer, another member of the faculty and the student managers of athletic teams, acting in season. LITERARY SOCIETIES The Philadelphian Society, organized in 1894, and the Philo– sophic in 1895, were both displaced by the Orange and Blue Club. organized in 1917. In the autumn of 1923, the former plan of two societies gained in favor and the Philadelphian and Philosophic Societies were revived. Fortnightly meetings, which are well sup– ported, afford many opportunities for the development of literary, musical and oratorical talent. JOHN ALFORD PRIZES Annual prizes to the amount of twenty-five dollars are given to the winners in an oratorical contest. These prizes were established by the late Rev. John Alford, D. D., a distinguished minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Church and a trustee of Cedarville College. They are now furnished in his memory by his daughter, Miss Martha Alford.

Any student in the College may compete for these prizes. ANNUAL COLLEGE PLAY An annual college play is given, usually in November, under the direction of the department of English. This affords a splendid op– portunity for the development of the dramatic ability of the stu– dents. THE CEDRUS An illustrated colleg·e annual, The Cedrus, published by the students, crystallizes the activities of the year into permanent liter– ary and pictorial form. RELIGIOUS ADVANTAGES There are three churches in Cedarville: Methodist Episcopal, United Prei;:byterian, 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 expected to at– tend the church de5ignatcd by their parents, who are requested to PAGE ELEVEN
