Literary Societies.-The Philadelphian Society, organ– ized in 1894, and the Philosophic in 1895, were both di splaced 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. Fort– nightly meetings, which are well supported, afford many oppor– tunities for the development of literary, musical, and oratorical talent. John Alford Prizes.-These prizes, established by the Rev. John Alford, D. D., a distinguLc:hed minister of the Re– formed Presbyterian Church, and a trustee of Cedarville College, are now continued in his memory by his daughter, Miss Martha Alford, and awarded annually through the Cedarville College Crown Club for the attainment of high scholarship. Bible Reading Contests.-Miss Margaret Belle Rife, of the Class of 1916, annually offers prizes of seven, five, and three dollars for a girls' Bible reading contest held in April of each year. Rev. C. M. Ritchie, D. D., an honorary alumnus of the class of 1916, annually offers prizes of seven, five, and three dollars for a men's contest held in November of each year. Dramatics.-Plays, minstrels, and recitals are given throughout the year by various classes and organizations. These afford a splendid opportunity for the development of the drama– tic ability of the students. The Cedrus.-An illustrated college annual, The Cedrus, published by the students, crystallizes the activities of the year into permanent literary and pictorial form.
