12 GENERAL INFORMATION GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS Campus.-There are four plots to the campus of Cedar– ville College. The campus is beautifully shaded and attractive.

One part of the campus was a gift from. W. J. Alford, Sr. College H a l l.-College Hall is the oldest building, erect– ed in 1895. It contains recitation rooms, the chapel, the offices, the halls for the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A., and the heating plant for the buildings of the main campus. Alford Memorial Gymnasium.-Alford Memorial Gymnasium was given to Cedarville College by W. J. Alford in memory of his father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. John Alford, formerly of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. It has a basketball floor, a kitchen fully furnished, a stage, dressing rooms, and a banquet hall. Carnegie Library.-Carnegie Library was the gift of the late Honorable Andrew Carnegie. Recently an arrangement has been made whereby the college benefits from the full facil– ities of the Greene County Public Library system as well. By this means, in addition to a number of specialized departments built up over a period of years by the college, students have access to about one hundred fifty periodicals and to more than sixty thousand volumes. The library also contains rooms for the dining club, the Conservatory of Music, and a reception and literary hall. Science H all.-Science Hall was erected in 1922. It has the laboratories for Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology. The work of mechanical drawing is also carried on in Science Hall. Harriman Hall.-A large home next to the Carnegie Library was purchased in the summer of 1940, and has been remodelled as a residence hall for girls. Named in honor of Dr. W. P. Harriman, late trustee of the College, Harriman Hall provides a center for girls' social life on the campus as well as serving as a much-needed dormitory. Several special gifts from generous friends assisted in the purchase and remodelling of the building.
