1959-1960 Academic Catalog

In another year the first college building, "Old Main," had been completed, and from 1895 on classes have been conducted there. In 1928 the General Synod of The Reformed Presbyterian Church unanimously voted to transfer "all control, ownership, title, and vested property rights of the Cedarville College" to the Board of Trustees of the College, "and their successors for– ever." On April 4, 1953, the Trustees of the Baptist Bible Insti– tute of Cleveland met with the Trustees of Cedarville College. By a process of resignations and elections, the ownership and control of Cedarville College passed completely into the hands of the Trustees of Baptist Bible Institute with the vision and purpose of having a true, fundamental, Baptist liberal arts college. In the fall of 1954 the Trustees of Cedarville College met and voted to discontinue the Bible Institute program and to concentrate on the work of a liberal arts college. FACILITIES College Hall "Old Main," built in 1895, is the original college building. It has the spaciousness of a bygone day when building costs were lower, but it has been modernized and rewired; fluores– cent lighting has been installed. On its first floor are the ad– ministrative offices; on the second floor are classrooms; on the third floor are the audio-visual room and the office of the yearbook staff. Science Hall Erected in 1922, Science Hall contains facilities for the physical and biological sciences. It is equipped with three lab– oratories, a lecture-room, classroom, and a darkroom. Sup– plies of chemical, biological, and physical materials are avail– able, together with microscopic apparatus, charts, models, and equipment for the maintenance of living plants and animals. George S. Milner Chapel This building was constructed by student labor in the summer and fall of 1954 and was dedicated to Mr. George S. Milner, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who gave gener– ously for its erection. The Chapel will seat about 250 people 11
