Y. in May of 1879, the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church decided to estaiblish a Liberal Arts College. By the will of William Gibson, an elder in the First Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, a bequest of $25,000 was left in 1886 to found the college at Cedarville, Greene County, Ohio. A charter was obtained for "The Cedarville College in 1887." In May of 1894, the General Synod at Coulterville, Illinois, resolved to open Cedarville Col– lege on September 19, 1894. In 1928 the General Synod at Coulterville, Illinois by unanimous vote gave all contTol, owner– ship, title and vested property righits of Cedarville College to the Board of Trustees of Cedarville College and their successors forever. Since 1928, the Board of TTustees composed of Presby– terians have had full control and management of Cedarville College. The Board of Trustees in accepting this responsibility obli– gated and pledged themselves and their successors to continue and maintain the principles and purposes for which Cedarville College was founded.

Cedarville College depends upon friends and churches to contribute this amount. We appeal to every reader of this paragraph to give to Cedarville College what you can. NEEDS OF CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Cedarville College will need over and above its income · for current expenses in 1935-1936: 1. Additional endowment to meet the requirements of the various collegiate and university associations. 2. A dormitory for girls. 3. A combined administration building and chapel. Monies and gifts to a Christian College like Cedarville are an eternal investment for incalculable good. 4. $5,000 for a Maintenance and Expansion Fund to enable it to meet current expenses and to secure additional endowment. EXPENSES TO A STUDENT Expenses at Cedarville are probably as low as can be found anywhere in the United States and are much lower than in many other places. Expenses for clothing, laundry and sundries vary greatly with the individual, who can, therefore, better estimate them for himself. College fees, boarding, room rent and cost
GENERAL INFORMATION 17 of text-books vary with the locality. Consequently, the following estimates are based upon these items. In the years in which science courses are taken, from twelve to twenty dollars must be added for laboratory fees, and a deposit of five dollars for breakage in courses in chemistry.

These expenses include tuition, board, furnished, heated and ligh ted room and books for students at a distamce ; and tuition and books for students who are residents of Cedarville or places nearby. RULES AND REGULATIONS A Book of Rules and Regulations has been adopted by the faculty and students for t he good order of the school. This book covers attendance, absences, athletics, grading, recitations, lectures, chapel, honors, conduct, etc. It may be obtained on request. Supervision of Women.-All non-resident girls are under the direct supervision of the Dean of Women and are re– sponsible to her for their conduct. Attendance.-All students are required to be punctual and regular in their attendance at chapel, recitations, and all other exercises of the College. 2. No excuses are granted for absences from any recitations, tests, or examinations. All students will be held responsible for a:ny work missed on account of absence. 3. Students shall . be allowed as many absences from any subject during a semester as the subject recites a week plus one without deduction as provided in rule 5. 4. Absences on the first and last regular recitation days of each semester, on the recitation days immediately preceding and following all holidays mid vacations and on the day of Prayer for Colleges shall count double. 5. For each eighteen absences over the number allowed one credit shall be deducted from the total number obtained during the semester, and for any smaller number a proportionate de– duction shall be made. The several amounts of credits deducted shall be added together and if the total amount comes to one or
GENERAL INFORMATION 19 more whole credits, they shall be deducted from the number of credits obtained in one of the studies pursued during that semes– ter. The registrar shall determine as to the study from which the credit shall be deducted but the student affected may request that the credit be deducted from some other study taken in the same semester. If the amount deducted does not come to a whole credit, the fraction shall be carried over until it amounts to a whole credit. All other fractions of deducted credits shall in like manner be carried over from semester to semester till they come to a whole credit. 6. Three tardy marks shall be counted as one absence. 7. At each faculty meeting each instructor shall report the number of times he was tardy or absent, or dismissed classes before the time for dismissal. 8. Students entering the college late in the semester may earn a total of not more than one cTedit for each week of their attendance. In such case the student shall pay a tuition fee of $5.00 a week. 9. Absences from Chapel shall count the same as absences from classes. Professors appointed by the President of the Col– lege will keep a record of chapel aibsences. Discontinuance of Studies.-1. No student shall be allowed to discontinue any study for which he has registered without permission of the President. In case a student dis– continues a study without such permission he shall be given a grade of F in that study. 2. Permission to discontinue a study shall not be given merely because the student fears that he will fail or not make a good record in that study. 3. No permission to discontinue a study shall 'be given dur– ing the last four weeks of a semester unless for very serious reason. 4. Any professor or instructor may dismiss a student from - class for unsatisfactory work or misdemeanor. 5. All students who are dismissed or discontinued from classes must be reported immediately by the professor in charge in writing to the Registrar. 6. All changes in classes in any way whatever must be reported to the Registrar immediately. If the student is not properly registered in the college office in each study he is carrying, he will receive no credit in such study or studies.
20 GENER L INFORMATION GRADING AND CREDITS In all courses studelnts are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols: A, denoting e.·cellent; B, d noting good; C, denoting fair; D, denoting pass– ing; and F, denoting failed. The comparative merit Olf tests, examination and all other exercises, as well as the final stand– ing of the student in any course, are indicated by the use of the same symbols. A equals 93-100; B equals 85-92; C equals 7884 ; D equals 70-77. Semester-Hour.-ln all of the courses, credit is counted by the "semester-hour." A "credit" or "semester-hour" is one recitation, lecture, or laboratory period a week for one semester. A student completing the work required in fifteen such periods a week for one semester receives credit for fifteen semester– hours, a nd i:f such work is continued for a full year and satisfact orily completed, he receives credit for thirty semester– hours which is considered full work for one year. A semester is eighteen weeks or one-half of the academic or collegiate year of nine months. Required Merit Points.-In every course in the collegiate department as many merit points are required for graduation as credits or semester-hours. For grade excellent, thre~ points for each credit are awarded; for grade good, two points; for grade fair, one point; for grade passing, no points. The maximum number of points that can be secured by a student graduating in a course which required, for example, 120 credits is 360: the minimum 120. It is evident that an aver– age grade of fair is necessary for graduation. Students who by reason of grade of passing fall behind in the required number of points, are ineligible for graduation. By the use of points a student may readily determine the quality of progress he is making in his course. Commencement Honors.-A student who wins eighty per cent of the maximum number of merit points obtainable in his course will be graduate cum ]aude, "with praise"; one who wins ninety per cent of the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated magna cum Jaude, "with great praise"; and one who wins the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated summa cum laude, "with the highest praise." The maximum number of merit points obtainable in any course is three times the number of credits or semester– hours required for graduation in that course. Honor Society.-In 1920 an honor society, called the Cedarville College Crown Club, was established, to which members are elected by the faculty on the basis of excellence in scholarship. (1) A Junior or Senior who for two semesters,
GENERAL INFORMATION 21 not necessarily consecutive, haR acquired a gTade of A in all of his studies may be elected to membership ~n thiis society. (2) or one who in four semesters has obtained not more than one grade of B for each semester, all other grades !being A, may be elected to membership. (3)A student may be elected to membership upon graduation after a full four-ye-a:r's course, provided he has no grade below B and three-fourths of his grades are A. (4) Students who have taken part of their col– lege course in other institutions are eligible to the society by either of the first two standards given above, but not by the third. Upon election to this society the student is presented with a gold pin in the design of a crown similar to that in the seal of the College, and bearing the letters C. C. C. C.
