Cedarville College Bulletin, October 1922

"I know Dartmouth is a small college, but there are those who love it."-Daniel Webster. The college will make the community rich return of learning, poetry and piety and that fine sense of civic duty which makes re– publics possible"-Former President Eliot of Harvard. "It is clear that the benefit of a college education consists not in the abundance of opportunities that have been neglected. It consists in the firmness of moral and intellectual fibre which have been developed in the college."-President Lowell of Harvard. "Extinguish the colleges and you put out the eyes both of the church and of the state."-Tyler. "Every great war is followed by a period of materialism. Col– leges are centers of spiritual growth." "As I have returned from one trip across Asia and two tours through Europe since the war, and have completed a tour of the American colleges, I am more than ever impressed with the need of the denominational colleges and of strong religious centers at the state universities."-Sherwood Eddy. "The Christian college is the manufactory which takes the finest raw material the Church can furnish, multiplies its value a hundred fold and returns it to the church in a life-giving stream of intelligent faith, trained power, and consecrated leadership."-Henry L. Smith. "The small Christian college is the hope of America. Character is essential to statesmanship and these colleges are vital factors in the development of sterling character."-James J. Hill. "Along with all this, there is the obligation to maintain and en– courage the smaller colleges. It is the small college that democ– ratizes the higher education. Here, too, the student finds that intimate association with his instructors which is impossible in the great universities. The essence of a great school is not in marble and mortar and architecture; nor yet in the multitude of the matricu– lants. The traditions of famous schools concern men, men who have stamped their persqnalities, who have given of their generous natures, who have colored the intellectual atmosphere about them. nd men who are big and strong enough to do that are as likely to be found in the modest as in the impressive environment." -Warren G. Harding. "I believe that the American boy has a better chance for education l'or making a true success or'his life in a college of not more than three hundred students."-Elihu Root. -9-
