12 GENERAL INFORMATION main lines of the Pennsylvania system. Good bus lines also run from Columbus, .Dayton, Springfield, Cincinnati, Cleveland and all intermediate points to Cedarville. Cedarville is situated in the northern part of the far-famed Miami valley. It is the birthplace of the late ambassador Whitelaw Reid. It is noted for its fine public schools, good churches, sturdy citizens, and hospitable homes. It is a clean, safe, and healthful place to get a college education. Purpose-Cedarville College is committed to a three-fold purpose. We believe the college course should be well-balanced and accurate in content, presenting the student with a full pic– ture of life in the world in which he lives. We keep expenses at the lowest possible level and help students find ways of meeting even these low costs when they cannot do so themselves. We live to serve Christ and His Kingdom; for training of the head and the hands is worse than useless if the heart is not instruct– ed by the Great Teacher. The world does not particularly need well~trained non-Christians, and Cedarville College prefers to meet the greater need of wisely directed Christian service. Reco~nition.-By the charter, issued under the laws of the State of Ohio, January 21, 1887, Cedarville College is recog– nized as a degree-granting institution. On April 16, 1915, the State Department of Education recognized Cedarville College as an institution for the professional training of teachers. Students whose work can merit the recommendation of' the faculty can expect to enter other colleges, undergraduate or post-graduate, without loss of standing. Commendation.-The Presbyteries of Cincinnati, Day– ton, Columbus, and Portsmouth, of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., have commended Cedarville College to the consid– eration of parents who have children to educate and also to the generosity and liberality of the constituents of these respective presbyteries. GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS Campus.-There are three plots to the campus of Cedar– ville College. The campus is beautifully shaded and attractive.
