CEDARVILLE COLLEGE BULLETIN Admitted as second-class matter, April 2, 1915, at the Post Office at Cedarville, Ohio, Under Act of Congress of August 24, 1912. Published by Cedarville College Volume XXX Cedarville, Ohio, April, 1947 THE PURPOSE OF CEDARVILLE COLLEGE No. 1 Cedarville College was established as a liberal arts institution with emphasis on Christian Education. In times like these when civilization is everywhere being tested and the promise of the future is precarious, Cedarville College holds to its founding principles. Now as never before the world needs men and women to think straight concerning the economic, social, and political problems that confront us. But, basically, these problems are moral and spiritual because they grow out of the needs of persons. Therefore, their solu– tions await the high ideals and the moral authority of Christianity. It is the purpose of Cedarville College to train students to think clearly and express themselves with Christian conviction about the present day problems. But the perspective for such thinking and expression must come from a wide knowledge of the philosophical, the aesthetic, the scientific, and the spiritual achievements of the P ast. ~-,~'?"l " J It is the purpose of Cedarville College so to relate the past to the present that her students may become more competent bread winners; more worthy members of family units; more useful citizens; and more devout Christians. Self- Help Opportunities Cedarville College has begun the development of an expanded student self-help program. A few years ago a 205-acre farm was acquired as a first step in this program and it is now being operated under a competent manager. Various types of work will be ex– panded on it as rapidly as possible. Other industries will be developed for both men and women as rapidly as the conditions will demand. Sufficient opportunities will be made available for all students. Thus any student who so desires will be able to earn a part of his expenses while in college. By this means we hope to encourage many students who otherwise could not come because of lack of financial ability. The academic schedule will be planned to provide suitable hours for working. Many part-time working opportunities are also available in the community. Loan and scholarship funds are available to recom– mended students. For further information regarding work opportunities, write di– rectly to President Ira D. Vayhinger, Cedarville, Ohio.

OFFICERS OF A D M I NISTRAT ION OF FI C ERS OF ADM I N I STRA TION O ffi cers of t he Col lege President, Ira D . Vayhinger Dean, C. W. Steele Dean of Men, Mendell E . Beattie Dean of Women, Helen Hooven Santmyer Secretary to the President, Acting Registrar, Mrs. Betty Ryan Secretary of the College, Mrs. J ane Stover Director of Greene County Libraries, Ruth E. Dennis Librarian, Mary Williamson Farm Manager, Milton A. Belle Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, John Blazer GENERAL INFORMATION 7 Location.-Cedarville College, Cedarville, Greene County, Ohio, is situated in the Miami River Valley, noted for its natura~ beauty. The community is outstanding for its fine public schools, good churches, sturdy citizens, and hospitable homes. The friendship and quiet of a small town and the convenience of access to near-by cities combine to make Cedar".ille an ideal location for a small Christian college. The Pennsylvania Railroad and two bus lines provide con– nections for all points. Xenia, Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati are near-by cities. History.-The Cedarville College was founded by the Reformed Presbyterian Church arid was granted a charter by the State of Ohio in 1887. It opened September 19, 1894. In 1928 the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church unanimously voted to transfer "all control, ownership, title and vested property rigp.ts of The Cedarville College" to the Board of Trustees of the College, "and their successors forever." Since 1928, the Board, a majority of whoi;n must be members of the Presbyterian Church, have operated the College. In 1913 the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Presbyterian Church was moved to Cedarville where for over a quarter of a cen– tury it has operated in close cooperation with the College. During its fifty-two years, Cedarville has drawn to its halls students from all parts of the United States and elsewhere in the world, and its influence has spread, through its graduates, throughout the world, especially in the fields of education and religion.
8 GENERAL INFORMATION Cedarville has always operated on the missionary motive, that its greatest service to Christian society is in the training of young people through the development of their abilities and characters. In an effort to make such training available to an increased num– ber of young men and women who must earn a part of their own college expenses, the Board of Trutees is developing a student self– help program. Through the ownership of a farm and other indus– tries, opportunities will be made available whereby the students may earn a part of their expenses. Recognition.-By its charter, issued under the laws of the State of Ohio, January 21, 1887, Cedarville College is recognized as a de– gree-granting institution. On April 16, 1915, the State Department of Education recognized Cedarville College as an institution for the pro– fessional 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. Cedarville College is a member of the National Conference of Church-Related Colleges, an association numbering several hundred of the leading Christian institutions of higher education in the country. Commendation.-The Presbyteries of Cincinnati, Dayton, Colum– bus, and Portsmouth, all of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., have commended Cedarville College to the consideration of parents who have children to educate and also to the generosity a..-id liberality of the constituents of these respective Presbyteries. Grounds and Buildings Campus.-The campus is beautifully shaded and attractive. It contains, besides the college buildings, a foctball field, a baseball diamond, and tennis courts. The trees of the campus were a gift from the late Whitelaw Reid. One part of the campus was a gift from W. J. Alford, Sr. College Hall.-College Hall is the oldest building, erected in 1895. It contains recitation rooms, the chapel, the offices, and other rooms for college purposes. ' 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, Pa. Carnegie Library.-Carnegie Library was the gift of the late Andrew Carnegie. An arrangement has been made whereby the college benefits from the full facilities of the Greene County Public Library system as well. By this means, in addition to a number of
GENERAL INFORMATION 9 specialized departments built up over a period of years by the col– lege, 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 Department of Music, and a reception and literary hall. Science Hall.-Science Hall was erected in 1922. It has the lab– oratories for Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology, and houses the Department of Education also. Harriman Hall.-A large home next to the Carnegie Library was acquired in the summer of 1940, and has been remodeled as a resi– dence hall for girls. It was named in honor of Dr. W. P. Harriman, late trustee of the College. Boarding Club.-The College provides boarding facilities at the lowest possible cost consistent with proper nourishment. Dormitories.-We have expanded our dormitory facilities to ac– commodate as many students as possible. All prospective students should enroll as far in advance as possible in order to be sure of adequate accommodations. Note: Students desiring to live in college dormitories must bring own linen, sheets, covers, etc. Student Life at Cedarville Student Government.-The student body has its own organiza– tion and officers. All student activities are carried on under student leadership and planning, with the supervision of faculty members selected by the various organizations. Musical Organ izations.-Under the supervision of the Director of Music, students participate in their choice of musical activities. Glee clubs, choruses, quartettes, and an orchestra are organized each year depending on the desires of the student body. Programs of local and general interest are prepared, and the various musical organiza– tions are much in demand at schools, churches, and for radio pre– sentations. Debates.-Cedarville College engages in debates with other col– leges. Both men and women engage in these inter-collegiate debates from year to year. Dramatic Club.-Cedarville College has a Dramatic Club open to all men and women of the college, offering training in preparing and presenting plays. Socia I Organ izations.-Local sororities and a fraternity, with faculty sponsors, contribute to the social interests of the student body. The local churches and other organizations encourage the participa-
10 GENERAL INFORMATION tion of the college community in their social activities as well as their religious purposes. Such traditional events as class parties, the Junior-Senior Banq~et, and the usual college social calendar of parties, informal dances, and other activities provide a great variety of interests with which to supplement the college program. Publications.-A yearbook, the "Cedrus," crystallizes each year's activities into permanent literary and pictorial form. A weekly news– paper, "The Whispering Cedars," is edited and published by the students. The Cedarville College Bulletin, issued periodically from the College office, carries news of Cedarville's work to a large mail– ing list of alumni and friends throughout the country. Special Occasions Homecoming.-Cedarville College Homecoming is observed an– nually. Events of Homecoming include a dinner served by the La– dies' Advisory Board, a short program provided by students and alumni, and a football game with some traditional rival. An increas– ing number of students, faculty members, alumni, and friends of the college gather for this day each year. Alumni Meeting.-On the evening before Commencement Day, it is the custom for the alumni to hold their annual business meeting and dinner in the Alford Memorial Gym,.'lasium. Cedar Day.-The popular Spring festival at Cedarville College is Cedar Day, observed annually on Wednesday of Commencement Week. Class stunts and songs, folk dances, and a May Pole dance constitute part of the program. Th e Cedar Day Queen and Orator, selected from the Senior Class, share the honors of the day. An afternoon baseball game is another feature. Commencement.-Commencement exercises climax the year's work. This is, of course, made the crowning day of the school year, with the awarding of degrees and academic honors for the year. A prominent guest is the Commencement speaker. Health and Physical Education Athletic Faciliti es.-The College athletic equipment consists of a varsity baseball diamond; a practice baseball diamond; a soft-ball diamond; a soccer and a football field; two tennis courts; the Al– ford Memorial Gymnasium ,which houses the varsity basketball court, badminton courts, volleyball court, table-tennis outfits, dress– ing rooms and various small-game equipment. Required Physical Education.-The College has a Department of Health and Physical Education consisting of the Director, and a Wo– men's Director under whose guidance the activity program falls . Two
GENERAL INFORMATION 11 years of work in physical education is required for all students un– less excused on grounds of health. Intercollegiate Ath letics.-Cedarville has a varsity schedule for football, basketball, baseball, track and field, and tennis. There are also freshmen and junior varsity basketball teams. Athletic competi– tion is carried on with several of the Ohio Conference, Indiana-Ohio Conference and Kentucky Conference members, along with non– conference members. Cedarville is a member of the Indiana-Ohio Conference. Intra- Mural Athletics.-The Intra-Mural Board of Athletic Con– trol, consisting of members of the four undergraduate classes and the Women's Director, set up the various sports to be staged each year between the classes. Among these are: six-man touch football, soccer, speedball, tennis for men and women, soccer-baseball, soccer– bowling, badminton, table tennis, softball, baseball, track and field, horse shoes and volleyball. Health Service.-All students taking Health and Physical Edu– cation courses of any nature are required to take a physical examina– tion given by the College Physician. The Department of Health and Physical Education cooperates with the College Physician and physi– cal activity is limited according to the outcome of the examination. A fee of one dollar is charged to cover the cost of the examination. Religious Life Chapel.-Students and faculty participate in religious exercises in the College chapel regularly. Students are expected to attend. It is the effort of those in charge to keep these services closely related to student life. The chap_el committee includes both faculty and student members. Churches.-There are five churches in Cedarville: Methodist, United Presbyterian, and Presbyterian, Church of God, Nazarine. Students remaining in town weekends are expected to attend the church of their preference. These churches and others in the com– munity welcome college students to all of their Sunday and week day activities. A Roman Catholic Church is located in Xenia. Young Men's Christian Association.-The Young Men's Christian Association of Cedarville College represents on the local campus the social and spiritual program of this inter-national organization. Young Women's Christian Association.-The Young Women's Christian Association of Cedarville College maintains all of the characteristic activities which have made this organization such a power for good among the college girls of America. Day of Prayer.-Recognizing the value of prayer in a well-
12 GENERAL INFORMATION rounded Christian life, Cedarville College seeks to develop the prayer life of its students. The Annual Day of Prayer for Colleges and Schools is a very great factor in the development of this Christian principle. Gospel Team.-The Gospel Team is made up of young men and young women who have the evangelistic spirit. They present pro– grams of praise and worship in various churches. Rules and Regulations Supervision of Girls.-As far as space permits, all girls rooming in Cedarville during the school year are expected to live in Harriman Hall. If accommodations are not available for all at Harriman Hall, the Dean of Women will assist girls to find rooms in carefully ap– proved private homes. The Housemothers, both in the Dormitory and in private homes where girls may be rooming, cooperate with the Dean in seeing that rules are observed. In the Dormitory, a house– president and a student-government committee assist the Dean and the Housemother. Girl students are expected to be in by nine o'clock except on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, when they must be in by ten-thirty. With the written permission of the Dean upper classmen may be out later on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Satur– day night; Freshmen on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Other rules affecting students of the College are similar to those in force at the majority of Christian colleges. An advisory system by which each student is encouraged to regard some member of the faculty as his special advisor has recently been inaugurated. This is of benefit, of course, in all aspects of college life and development, and only incidentally as regards the rules for students. Grading and Credits In all courses students are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols: A, denoting excellent; B, de– noting good; C, denoting fair; D, denoting passing; and F, denoting failed. The comparative merit of tests, examinations and all other exercises, and the final standing of the student in any course, are indicated by the use of the same symbols. 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. For illustra– tion a student completing the work required in fifteen such periods a week for one semester receives credit for :fifteen semester-hours. Required Merit Points.-In every course in the collegiate depart– ment as many merit points are required for graduation as credits or semester-hours. For grade "A," three points for each credit are
GENERAL INFORMATION 13 awarded; for grade "B" two points; for grade "C" one point; for grade "D" no points. A minimum of 124 merit points is required for graduation from a degree course. It is evident that an average grade of "C" is necessary for graduation. By the use of points a student may read– ily 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;" one 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 maxi– mum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated summa cum laude, "with the highest praise." 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, not necessarily consecutive, has acquired a grade of A Lr1 all of his studies may be elected to mem– bership in this society. (2) One who in four semesters has obtained not more than one grade of B in each semester, all other grades be– ing A, may be elected to membership. (3) A student may be elected to membership upon graduation after a full four-year course, pro– vided he has no grade below B and three-fourths of his grades are A. (4) Students who have taken part of their college course in other in– stitutions are eligible to the society by either of the first two stand– ards 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. &!t Contests and Prizes John Alford Prizes.-These prizes, established by the Rev. John Alford, D.D., a distinguished minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and a trustee of Cedarville College, are now continued in his memory by his daughter, Miss Martha Alford. The prizes are used for the purchase of Crown Club pins, and are awarded annually through the Cedarville College Crown Club for the attainment of high scholarship.

SUMMER SCHOOL 15 SUMMER SCHOOL Every effort is being made to secure students upon the merit basis regardless of financially ability. Any qualified student will find an opportunity at Cedarville College to train for leadership. Corres– pondence is invited from those who may wish to avail themselves of a work unit to earn a par.t of their college expenses. Cedarville College offers two sessions of Summer School. Each session runs five weeks, six days each week. Six credits may be earned in collegiate subjects in each of these sessions, or a total of twelve collegiate credits for both sessions. Summer Session is designed for: 1. Teachers who need additional credit for meeting certification requirements. 2. Students who are on an accelerated program or desire to shorten their college career. 3. High school graduates who desire certification for teaching in the shortest possible time. 4. Students who desire to remove deficiencies in order to main– tain class standing. Subjects Offered Cedarville College Summer School offers, if demand is sufficient, work in the following subjects: Bible, Botany, Chemistry, Economics, Education, English, French, Greek, History, Latin, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, Public Speaking, Theology, Zoology. See the curricula. All credits earned will be ac– cepted towards the Bachelor's degree. P ractice Teaching Opportunity will be given for practice teaching in the elementary field during the Summer Session. Since the facilities are limited, it is desirable that anyone interested in earning credits in practice teaching make early application so that a place may be provided. Courses in Education Theory courses in education in both the elementary and high school fields, meeting the reguirements for the education major, will be offered in the summer school. This affords an excellent opportun– ity to earn additional credits toward the provisional state certificate.
