Housing for Students The college maintains dormitories for both men and women. Rooms are furnished with beds, study tables, dress– ers, and closet space. Students are required to furnish their own bed linen, blankets, bed spreads, towels, pillows, etc. All students are expected to care for their own rooms, and to keep them presentable for inspection by the Dean of Students or Dormitory Supervisor. College dormitories include Rife Residence, Harriman House, Cedar Apartments, and Bethel Lodge for men, and Faith Hall for women. Married students must provide their own living quarters. The college renders all possible assistance in enabling such stu– dents to find suitable housing. A trailer court is maintained by the college, and space may be rented at the rate of $10.00 per month. This includes water, but electricity and garbage removal are additional. Alford Memorial Gymnasium This structure, erected in 1853, was presented to the col– lege by Mr. W. J. Alford in memory of his father and mother. It is the oldest building on the campus, having served originally as the assembly hall of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Cedarville. When the latter's congregation moved into their new building, the old church was remodeled, enlarged, and con– verted into a gymnasium by the laying of a basketball floor and the provision of wide tiers of bleacher space on each side. Locker rooms, and equipment room, and an office for the di– rector of physical education complete the facilities. 12
