They wpn, t Tuesday morning at chapel the stu- }dents had the pleasure o f listening to ia fine address by Rev. George Allen Brewer,, pastor o f the First Presby­ terian Church in Piqua. He made a vary deep inpression and proved an inspiring speaker. The reception given the students and faculty Thursday evening by the young people o f the Methodist Church WaJs largely attended and much en­ joyed. The- S. S. orchestra rendered a fine musical program, after which games.and a debate as to the respec­ tive trials o f a faculty member and a freshman, furnished amusement. Deli­ cious refreshments were served. Per­ haps in no 'Other college in the coun­ try are such kindly relations found as between the churches o f Cedarville and its students. President W. R. McChesney will ad­ dress the teachers o f Darke county, Saturday ■at Greenville, and from there will go to Millersburg, Ohio, where he will fill the pulpit , o f the Presbyterian church morning and evening. Monday morning at the chapel ser­ vice President C. McCoy Frhnklin, of Crossnore, N, C„ brought an unusual message Of beauty and power to the student body, He also addressed the high school the same morning and entertained as well as informed the young people there. While in the city lie was the guest o f Dr. and Mrs. Mc- Chesney, but left Monday noon for Piqua. Fe will be lecturing in Ohio and other states adjacent for the next three or four months, and is very much in demand. Prof. J, ,H. Dickason addressed the high schools o f Jamestown and Bow­ ersville Thursday, and Spring Valley Monday; Wednesday he was the speaker guest at Springfield High in the morning and at Boosevelt High in the afternoon.

Representatives o f Lyon and Healy, Chicago, makers o f band instruments, met a number o f students Friday with reference to the organization o f a college band. It has not yet been de­ cided, depending somewhat on the ex­ pense to- be incurred for instruments. All the college body is glad to hear that Professor Leroy Davis, Who last week wbb operated on for appendicitis in Mercy Hospital, Columbus, is mak­ ing as rapid prpgress as could be ex­ pected. His was a very serious case, The. stranger is surprised, coming to the campus any morning, to see the large number of autos parked about the buildings. Twenty-five or more young people drive in each day. Thus at a. triffling expense they secure their college course With the institution in its midst and available from every direction, Cedarville iq as much an asset to Greene county almost as to Cedarville itself. Suppose Cedarville had five hundred students today instead of approxi­ mately one-third that number, what benefit would it prove to the town and community? Financially it would bring direct some $150,000 annually in .connection with the college alone; the town would also profit in’ every legitimate avenue of trade. Not a property but would increase in value, more and more, peo­ ple would be attracted here as a place for a good home. The best quality of people in the world—new homes would be built;-business would receive an added impetus; real estate in and around the town would encrease in value, and Cedarville would find a larger place in the sun.
