GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION CEDARVILLE COLLEGE 11 History.--At Duanesburgh, N. Y., in May of 1879, the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church decided to establish 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. Reverend David McKinney, pastor of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, was chosen the first president. He continued in that capacity until 1915.

GENERAL INFORMATION rn RULES AND REGULATIONS Supervision of W omen.-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 grant .:!d for absences from any recitations, 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 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. 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 absences. 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 ihe 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
20 GENERAL INFORMATION carrying, he will receive no credit in such study or studies. GRADING AND CREDITS In all courses students are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols: A, denoting excellent; B, denoting good; C. denoting fair; D, denoting pass– ing; and F, denoting failed. The comparative merit of tests, examinations 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 78-84; D equals 70-77. Semester- Hour.-In 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, and if such work is continued for a full year and satisfactorily completed, he receives credit for thirty semester– hours, which is considered full work for one year. A semester ii:; 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, three 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 graduated cum laude, "with praise"; on who wins ninety per cent of the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated magna cum laude, "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
GENERAL INFORMATION 21 in scholarship. (1) A Junior or Senior who for two semesters, not necessarily consecutive, has acquired a gr ade of A in all of his studies may be elected to membership in this 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-years' course, provided he has no grade below B and thr ee-fourths of his grades are A. (4) Students who have t aken par t of their college course in other institut ions are eligible to the society by either of the fir st two standards given above, but not by the third. Upon election to this society the student is presented with a gold pin in the desjgn of a crown similar to that in the seal of the College, and bearing the letters C. C. C.
