6 TI IF ,AVELYTE Th college now has an endowment or $8:i,000.00 and builclingi-; and grounds worth between $30,000.00 and $10,000.00. It needs anrl must hav an endowm nt of over $200,000.00 and two new buildings, a sci nee, hall and a girls' dormitory. •Five years has been set as the time limit in which to raise the needed funds antd erect the build– ings. Cedarville College is pre-eminently a ·('hristia,n college. Our ap– peal is to ·Christian peo,ple for a Christian college. We might sug– gest other relative reasons, but w-hen we say "Christian people for a Christian college" it is ,about all said. Governor Glynn, of :New York, is quoted as s•aying recently: "That the battles of a nation are won in its halls of education."

The men who establish Christian colleges and thus foster Christian education are doing more for their country than the warriors who tred the battle– :field,s. ·Christian education is the greatest thing on earth and next to the Ohristian home anld the Christian church, the Christian college is the greatest adjunct we may add to the Christian forces of the world. Christian education is the only thing that can lift a man above his naJtural !baseness and set him on a plane of life in this wodd that was intended for his occupancy from the beginning. Twenty years ago, Cedarville College was founded and de'dicated to ·Christian service. How wEH its mission has ibeEn filled during these years, the most of you who will re.ad this article well know. One hund r ed a nd fifty-fiYe graduates, the most of whom are eith er teache'l's or Gospel miniPters a,nd the remainde,r filling honor·able posi– tions in the var ious vocations ·of life, testify, to the worlld that the. college was not founded and dedicated in vain. Our appeal is to Chris– tian people for .a Christi.an college. Any who may wish to learn more about CEdarville College are kindly invited to address inquiries to S. C.

Wr i ght, F i nanc i al SEfo ret ary. ) The relations that exist, or those that should exist, between a college and its graduates are so well known that a discussion of t h em is uncalled for. It is assumed that each one is loya!J. and a boos t er. The degree of loyalty shown and the amount of ·boosting done d'e– pends, of cou r se, on location and opportunity. The purpose of this article is to call attention to a field of endeavor that is open to every
