Campaign for $200,000 Expansion and Endowment Fund for Cedarville College

CEDARVILLE COLLEGE WILL BE BIG ENOUG H— I F YOUR HEART IS. 7 Should We Cease Work On Account Of the Times? A DEPRESSING time is upon us. We are in the period of of an industrial crisis. The tendency is to grow de- spondent and to abandon Christian endeavor. This we must not do. That we should be economical is evident, but we can also stand by the work which is preparing young men and women for the gigantic task of reconstruction after this brief period of depression, and also for the divine work of preparing the world for the coming of its rightful Ruler, the King of Kings. THE GRAVE DANGER is, that if we do not push ahead now with all possible speed, the life of our College will be im- periled. At a meeting recently held in a neighboring State for the purpose of rallying the people to raise an Endowment for a college, the President of the College said, in substance: “Among all the grand and notable institutions of which our country boasted at the beginning of the depressing times which swept over our country in 1894, I believe I may safely say that not one survived except the endowed college.” This means that in the stress of the times the colleges that were not permanently endowed — perished. Whatever we do for Cedarville College must be done NOW — and done quickly. If we press forward NOW and do our work in a whole-hearted manner, the results will be great in the saving of our Institution which is essential to the wel- fare of our youth. Output T HE WORLD needs honest, upright men and women in business. Many young men and women have received training in our College; lawyers, doctors, merchants, farmers, teachers, clergymen — in fact, they are in nearly all the various vocations and are a force for righteousness in their community. This will indicate the output. Shall the work cease for the lack of sufficient support? This movement for an Expansion and Endowment Fund MUST enlist the interest of not only the Alumni and friends everywhere, but especially of every citizen in Greene County. We ask them all to unite at this time in raising the desired amount of money. They can do it if they choose to do so, and surely they will not for- sake Cedarville College in this, her hour of need — and her need is your need. Advantages of An Association College ^pHE LAW of Ohio and many other States provides that the Superintendent of Public Instruction may grant to grad- uates of an Association College a high school teacher’s cer- tificate without examination. This is an advantage to those who desire to teach, and it is an incentive to the student to attend an Association Institution. On account of the laws and regulations many colleges have either been closed within the past few years or have united with other institutions, or they are struggling along in an unrecognized, unstandardized con- dition.
