iSAede m What An Associated College Means To The Greatest Opportunity Ever Offered You To Aid Young Men and Women, and To Save Cedarville College. To Every Citizen o f Greene County, Greetings : — - . r T HIS is to announce that the Campaign now being promoted by, Cedarville College for $ 200,000 has been forced upon it through the legislation of our State Association of Colleges, which reuires every College to have ah endowment fund of at least $200,000 in order to become an Association College. I N our case-*—if the $200,000 is not realized, our beloved College cannot become a recognized Association inst i­ tution; students will not patronize it, and without students, ITS DOORS SHALL HAVE TO BE CLOSED. from other business men will be published later. The College is an Asset Dr. ;W. R. McChesney,, President Cedarville College, Cedarville, Ohio Dear Professor;- > I t seems that in the history of every small college a chapter must be developed to a dark age period and crisis which every insti­ tution of learning is doomed to pass through before entrance into a greater and more stable future—the passing from vague uncertainty to certainty. „ The good live college with adequate endowment, such as the Board of Directors of Cedarville College is striving to realize for the maintenance of this institution -to .givq to it the rank and stability that i t so justly deserves, is aif asset greater than common. Cedar­ ville College o f tomorrow will rise ou t of the shadows of the past, an enterprise that will amply justify the name of a Gollege - city tha t should be applied to our community. , Business men and public, spirited townspeople say of this instii- • tution that it is one of the best factors we have. Other industries and institutions may come and go, hutw ithou this our town would be flat. . The College as an asset to the town is most valuable. Families will eventually cdme^ here from a distance to take, advantage of th e » splendid system outlined by the Board of Directors. People educating , th e ir families readily recognize this. They wish to be where social „ ’if® and-environment are the best. They will come, real estate will advance in worth, and our population will be constituted of the de­ sirable kind, , Cedarville College has done a great good in the past; its influence is felt, on every side, -With a permanent endowment which is now essential to make it an Association College—it will rank second to none. . We are fo r it strong in all its activities and are interested vitally m the success o f the present Fund Raising Campaign. Respectfully yours, “ Robert Bird and Sons Co. Energetic and Far Sighted Dear Dr, McChesney:- . We believe every young man and woman is better equipped for life’s work' with a college education, no matter in what course they expect to direct their activities. We believe that Cedarville has been greatly benefited by the influence which the-College has had upon the’ citizenship, and the town and country. I t may be well to bear in mind that Cedarville. College is striving fo r its very existence in this campaign. I t must o f necessity sink or awin. The citizens of .this town and,county\irtay well be proud to have it numbered among the Survival n f the fittest. We all know th a t an educational institution can neither flourish nor exist without financial backing. The present endeavor to pu t Cedarville College ito the high classification recently adopted as . standard by the Association, of American Colleges, is worthy of the sincerest moral and financial support of not only the business and pro­ fessional men .of Greene County, hut of those who have, and expect to make their homes in this community, ' Looking upon thefcplans of the Fund-Raising Campaign Commit­ tee as a business proportion, i t seems to us th a t the business men of Cedarville cannot fail to see the opportunities which have been placed, before them by the energetic and f a r sighted Board of Directors. I f , for no higher reason, the. fulfilment and success of this Campaign should be considered; as.an opportunity to the business and profess­ ional men that will bring to them great returns upon their investment and support, * It is with pleasure that this firm heartily endorses and supports the present campaign to raise,$200,000 for a Greater Cedarville Col­ lege. Very truly yours ' ■A. E. Richards Should Advance Community Spirit Dr. W< R. McChesney, President Cedarville College, ^ ^ - Cedarville, Ohio > ' " ' Dear Professor:- ; • I feel quite convinced of many Benefits accruing to Cedarville and Greene County and Its people in the perpetuation, enlargement and endowment of Cedarville College. A true analysis cannot be* conceiv­ e d of all the advantages of an enlarged institution of higher learn­ ing and better standards, as the College has given us for many years past, and will give us to a still greater degree for generations to come. Any city would point with the greatest pride to the location of such a college in its midst. . If we are to grow and prosper, we should advance the community spirit, and demnad frqrn our good people things which are ‘ helpful. The College in its advanced, learning promotes higher ideals, giving to our children the benefits of broader educational attainments, spirit­ ual pplit and surrounds us with talented instructors and artists whose influences morally is to mean much to our citizens. These things affect us all and it really seems we cannot well afford to overlook our op­ portunity of benefiting and assisting the College'in the attainments planned by its able Directors, I hope the efforts of those now working to raise $200,000. for the Expansion fund fo r Cedarville College may be encouragingly re-, ceived by all the people ‘of Cedarville as well as by the people of Greene County. <* ' 1 Respectfully yours, O.

Cedarville Col­ lege. Certainly it is better to ask largely and endeavor to pu t the College on a basis of real efficiency than to go a* long JLn thesmall way of the past, which entails great effort and sacr rifled upon a few and which alsor de­ nies to the students some things they have a righ t to expect when they invest their time and money in a college course, I Believe EVERY business man and EVERY property owner should pay liberally toward this fund you are attempting to raise/ and tha t as 4 business proposition, i f for no other reason. I will Certainly exert any influence I possible can as I may h a te the op­ portunity. Very tru ly yours, GEO. A. SHRODES. Puts Our .Community on the Map Dr.JWV R.

My answer is: I t has al­ ways been one of the best institu­ tions we have in .our tovm, I t has.ad­ vertised us fa r and wide. I t has brot many students to Cedarville who have .to be clothed and fed. I t has given us the opportunity of educating our chil­ dren without sending them away.. In fact, Cedarville College has help­ ed to pu t Cedarville on the map as an old friend. We realize that the future of Cedarville College has reached a critical point, and the plans of the Board o f Directors of the College are the visions of far-reaching business men. We are very pleased that in this campaign the College is seeking the substantial sum of $200,000, and we, know th a t with the impetus given by' the subscription of an Alumnus of $10,000, that the campaign will.be a success. Raise $200,000 and do not cease .ef­ forts until the full amount for the completion- of the endowment for Cedarville College is fully realized. Yours fo r success, G, H, HARTMAN.
