HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE At the meeting of the General Synod 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, a,nd 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., of Beaver Falls, Pa., was appointed financial a.gent 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 i r orated under the laws of O 10 and on the 26th day of J ~ 1887, they obtame ~a charter for "The Cedarville College." On March 11, 1887, the incorporators met in Cedarville and elected themselves the fir!{t 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 Boa:rd of Trustees: Robert Abbott, James Patt~rson, Alexander Kerr, and Ephraim Young. The enterprise then slumbered until the meeting of Synod in Cedarville in 1892, when 'the Qhio 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 ;f 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., 12.,n 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 of English Bible; W. Renwick McChesney, A. M., secretary and professor of Ancient Language; 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 edarville. In this place three-quart rs of a century ago, Dr. McMillan taught an academy, frum which graduated a number of illustrious men. These quarters P.A.GE SEVEN
HISTORY OF COLLEGE proving 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. Nearly four hundred young men and women have graduated from the College and are successfully following honorable callings in various parts of the world. Cedarville College has a wide and favorable reputation for thorough work. It has been honored by such distinguished men as W. J. Alford, Esq., Andrew Carnegie and Ambassador Whitelaw Reid among its benefactors. Cedarville College has a productive endowment of $236,833.40. 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 $312,231.88. At the meeting of the General Synod at Coulterville, Illinois, in May 1928, the General Synod gave up entirely all ownership, control, and vested interests of Cedarville College to the Board of Trustees and their successors forever. The Board of Trustees unanimously agreed at their mid-year meeting, February 8, 1929, to maintain the orthodox Christian belief and teachings for which Cedarville College has always stood and which are as follows: The Declaration of Cedarville College Cedarville College was established in faith and prayer. It stands today, as it always has stood, for genuine Christianity founded upon and agreeable to the inspired Word of God. It was chartered by the descendants of the Covenanters of Scotland. Cedarville College teaches the existence of the one living and true God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. It claims that the Old and New Testaments are the verbally in– spired Word of God and are the only infallible rule of faith and revelation of eternal salvation. It maintains that Jesus Christ is the eternally begotten Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary, and is God-man, able to save unto the uttermost all who believe in him. It maintains that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and brought upon himself physical and spiritual death, that he is born in sin and at the age of accountability becomes responsible for sin in thought, word and deed. It maintains that Christ atoned for man's sins by his death, and man is justified only upon condition of acceptance of the blood atonement. It teaches that all who accept Christ as their personal Savior are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and persevere in righteousness through the sanctifying power of the Holy Ghost until the end of their earthly life, when at the appearance of Christ they become like him. It teaches that Christ died, was buried, rose in his crucified body, ascended into Heaven, where he is our intercessor and priest; and that he will come in person in the last times and raise both the just and unjust from the dead and distribute their rewards of eternal con– demnation and eternal salvation. Trusting in God and the co-operation of true Christians in all churches who subscribe to the above tenets of faith, Cedarville College appeals for the support and patronage of all who believe in the fundamental truths of the Bible and the training of men and women for loyal, definite service for Christ's Crown and Kingdom.

It is in the northern part of the Miami Valley, and has one of the most beautiful and healthful locations in Ohio.

Alford presented to the College the church building, formerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian con– gregation (General 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 f eet by ninety feet. It has a seat– ing capacity for assemblies of one t housand; and for athletic events it hoo a seating capacity of seven hundred. It is equipped with shower baths and running water.

Here are located the football gridiron and base ball diamond. The basket ball court is in Alford Gymnasium and the tennis courts occupy the entire space of the campus in the rear of the gymnasium. 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 Presbyterian Church, and the tuition fees of the students. ENDOWMENT The total amount of the endowment of the College on February 19, 1929, was $236,833.40.
