HIST·ORY OF THE COLLEGE At the meeting o! the General ynod of the Reformed Presby– terian Church in North America, in Duanesburgh, N. Y., May 24, 1879 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 Synod, Rev. John Alford, D. D., <?f Be_a:'er Falls, Pa., was appointed financial agent and succeeded rn ra1s~ng over $10 000 in subscriptions and cash throughout the church durmg the follo~ing year. At the meeting of the Synod in Cincinnati, O~io, 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., o.f 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 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 consiste<i 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 BelJe Beazell, professor of Musi c. On September 19, 1894, the Colleg.e 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, fron: which graduated a number of illustrious men. These quarters provmg too hampered ~or the work, the new building was erected and entered the followmg 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. Nearly three hundred young men and women have graduated !rom ~he College and are successfully following honorable callings m vanous parts ~f the world. Cedarville College has a wide and favorable reputation for thorough work. It has been honored by PAGE SIX
HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE such distinguished men as W. J. Alford, Esq., Andrew Carnegie and Ambassador Whitelaw Reid among its benefactors. Cedarville College has a productive endowment of $178,375.46-.

PURPOSE OF THE COLLEGE The purpose of Cedarville College is 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 humanity.

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 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 and no better society than in this community.

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 church building, formerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian con– gregation (Genera,l Synod). This building, given by the donor as a memorial to his parents, the Rev. John Alford, D. D., and Mrs. Mary B. Alford, has been named the "Alford Memorial Gymnasium". Dur– ing the fall of 1925, Mr. Alford gave $20,000 on condition that the College give a like amount for the Memorial. The new building has an interior measurement of seventy feet by nineby feet. It has a seat– ing capacity for assemblies of one thousand; and for athletic events it has & seating capacity of seven hundred. It is equipped with shower baths and running water.
