The Gavelyte, July 1915

2 THE GAVELYTE m:1gnific0nl sky lights w find thP Art allery with its walls coverPd with t ht' worl<l's greatest master pi ct''- b:H'h the b s t to bC' had. Str •tching · way to lh north-wPs t of' this bnilding could be seen th farm with its fields of waving grain; harns filled with domestic arnmals of all kinds, and the orchard burdened with its fruits, for it was in the fall of the year. Farther on wr see the venerable forest weeping away to the sonth. Jt.s tall, dark oaks, sugars an<l cedars standing like Druids of old and formin~ a back ground of green, which, when the sun was setting in all his splendor, dazzled the hu– man ev to behold. Fifth, the boys' dormitory, masc:ivc in its construci ion and kept in the best of order by its ;nhabitants. Sixth, the gymnasium, quipped to the very letter with all the athletic equipment. Lying directly lo the rear and to the west was the athletic field, built in the design of the Roman Amphitheater. On the grandstands sur– rounding it could be seen, on field day, cr0wds of young, red-blooded Americans cheering and urging their comr::i.des on to the glories of "Dear Old Cedarville." Seventh comes Literary Hall under whose roof one may hear the lessons of literature discussed by the hon– orable and stately Dr. Jurkat. Hen:, a}s(), the debating teams are coached; the young orator drilled. Eighth, the girls' dormitory, surrounded by its beautiful rose gardens. To the rear were the tennis courts where, in the evenim~s. any number may be seen finding rest and enjoyment together. Ninth, the Normal Training and Domestic Scien~e building- where lessou3 in domestic art are perused. Tenth in number was the Conservatory of Music, surrounded by the tall musical cedars, among whose branches the etherial beauty could be seen ling:ering and heard in re– hearsal. Once in a while one mig-ht hear a strain of music from the throat of Professor Seigler. Last and completing the C stood the Chapel covered with dark green vines. Juc:;t in front and ::i.bout half way between Philosophic Hall and the Ch~pel was the entrance to the grounds. Over the entrance wa:s an arch made of saJire, in– scribed on it, in letters of rubies, was th,=. following: "All Who Will May Enter." Just a little to the north and west, on a fou!'ldation of white granite, was a life-size bronze statute of the Christ, while to the south-west and right opposite, on a foundation of white marble, was the flag pole towering heavenward some two hundred feet. From this the nation's emblem waved. Its red represented the blood of the dear Christ, its white that of purety. and its blue that of truth. It can be seen at all times of the year as it waves its message of "Peace" broadcast to the world. Scattered through the campus are many cedars, winding through it are w::ilks of the finest kind. From this place have gone men, trained for the gospel work. no:– trained as some from othn colleges have ,gone, but trained in truth and sincerity; men and women trained for f'very walk of life. We also find that the wheels of time have set their mark upon our dear friends who have grown old in the service for the college they love. Dear people, as you look upon this picture, tho11gh poorly painted, can you not see why the young people have to sing for Ceda?"ville College, and by so doing cause the hearts of these dear professors named, and our Honorable Dr. McChesney to feel once more the throb of yuung life? F9r it was through the efforts of him and hi.3 co-workers, with the help of t he Great God. that we have the New Cedarville. ''A VOICE."
