8 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE kind, and tra1mng enough in scientific method to enable the student to distinguish between what is true and what is false, to know what science is, and what it can and cannot do. Most important, Cedarville College holds fast to the faith that religion is the cornerstone of a man's life, and that a study of Christian beliefs and Christian ethics is a necessary part of education. Cedarville College students are taught that 'Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it'. If Cedarville College accomplishes its objectives, even imperfectly, its students achieve in their years of study not only book knowledge, but en– richment and release of personality, and courage, faith and a positive ap– proach to the unforeseeable contingencies of the present and the future. FACILITIES Campus. Cedarville College lies within the limits of the village of Cedarville. That part of the campus which is behind and north of the buildings merges with open country. The campus itself is extensive, part of it the gift of friends like the late W. J. Alford, Sr. On its southern edge, west of the Recreation Hall, is the baseball diamond, and close to the northern limit, the football field. The southeast corner of the campus is richly wooded with deciduous trees: maples, a buckeye, a linden, and with evergreens. The drive is lined with maples and the formal walk bordered with arbor vitae; a group of spruce trees stands before the Science Hall and in the open meadow to ·the west, and solitary maples, ash and elm here and there spread wide branches in full sun. These trees, the chief beauty of the campus, were the gift of the late Whitelaw Reid, who never forgot that Cedarville was "home". College Hall. "Old Main", built in 1895, is the oldest and the original college building. It has the spaciousness of a bygone day, when building costs were lower, but it has been completely modernized and rewired, and fluorescent lighting has been installed. On its first floor are the administra– tive offices and an assembly room; on the second and third floors are class– rooms. Science Hall. Erected in 1922, Science Hall contains facilities for the physical sciences: classrooms and the chemical and physical labor:2tories; other classrooms and the workroom of the art-education classes. Biological Laboratories. The new science building, materials for which were given to the college by the government, was put up by the student themselves, except for the electrical wiring, the installation of the furnace, and the roofing.
