The Gavelyte, July 1915

2 THE GAVELYTE magnifiecnt sky lights we find the .Art Gallery with its walls cover0.d with the ·world's greatest maste.r piecci,. )? ,i.ch tl1e best lo bC' hacL Stretching 3.Way to the north-west of th;s bnilrling could be see11 the farm with its fields of waving gra1n; hams fil!ed ,vith domestic an:.mals of all kinds, and the ()rchards btrrdrmed with its fruits, for it was in the fall of the year. Farther on we see the venc1·able forest sweeping away to the south. Its tall, rla,.k oaks, imgars an<l cedars standing like Druids of olrl and forming a back ground o:C g1·een which, when, t}1e 8un was setting in all his ,,pkn<lor, dazded the hu~ man eve to behold. Fifth, the boys' dormito1:y, ma~i'ive in its constn1ct.ion and kept in the best of order by its Jnhal:Jitants. Sixth, the gymnai;iurn, equipped to the very letter with all the i,itbletic equipment. Lying directly lo the rear and to the west was the athlelic iield, built in the design of the Roman Amphitheater. On the grandstands sur- rounding it could be seEn, on field day, crc>wds of young, red-blooded Americans cheering and urging their comr,,.'des or. to the .!dories of "Dear Old Cedarville." Seventh comes Literary Hall under whose rnof one may hear the lessons of literature <liscussr,d by the hon- orable and stately Dr. Jurkat. Here, alsfl, the debating teams are coached; the young orator driiled. Eighth, the girls' dormitory, surrounded by its beautiful rose gardeni;. To the rear were the_ tennis com·ts wherr, in the evenint,s, any number mar be seen finding rest and C!ljoyment together. Ninth, the Normal Training and Domestic Scien~e buildinl! where lessou;, in domestic art are perused. Tenth in number was the Conservatory of Music, surrounded by the tall musical eedal"s, among whm:e branches tho etherial beauty could be seen F!lgcl"ing and heard in rr- hearsal. Once in a while one miv.ht hear a strain of music front the throat of P tofe ssor S!lli'gler. Last and completing the _C · stood the Chapel covered with dark green vines. Just in front and about half way between Philosophic Hall and the Ch:•.pe\ was the e. "nee t the grounds. Over the entrance wa~ an arch made of saJire ~ scribed on it, in letters of rubies, was thr• following: "All ,o l,,Vi11 J,. _ ?vla;v Ente1·.'' Just a little to the north and west, on a fou~c.atio11 of white granite. was a life-size bronze sLatute of the Christ, whi1c to the south-west and right opposite, on a foundation of white marble, was the flag pole towering heavenward somr, t.wo hun<:hed feet. From this the nation's emblem waved. Its. red repYesentcd the blood of fl1e dear Christ, its white that of pur!fty. and its' blue that of truth. It can be seen at all times of the year s.s it waves its messa):\'e of "Peace" broadcast to the world. Scattered throug·h the eampus al'e many cedars, winding through it are w.<1.lks of thf finest. kind, From thiR place have g-one men, trained for the gospel ·work. no~ trained as some from othi;r colleges have i;one, but trained in trutl1 and sincerity; men and wome:n t1·11incd for i>very walk of life. We also find that the wheels of thne have set thei1· mark upon our dear friends who have grown old_ in the servicf for the college they lov,:-. Dear people, as you look upon this ;;,icbirc, tho1\gh poorly painkd, can you not see why the young people have to sing for Ceda,·vil1e College, anci. br so doing cause thr hrart~ of these dear profess01·s named, and our Honorable Dr. l\kChesnev to feel once more the throb of y.:mng life? For it was throm:h the effcrts of him and hi~ co-,vorkers, with the help of the Great God. that we have the New Cedarville. ' ' A VOIC:K"
