This problem resolves itself into the relative advisability of a policy of laissezfaire or one of mercantilism. Shall the government keep out of business altogether, or shall it enter into the economic life whenever it deems it necessary? The former leads to an anarchical state; the latter, carried to its logical conclusion, ends in Socialism. Obviously, the trend in the United States is toward a modified Socialization of economics; the Interstate Commerce Commission, the present banking reforms, government subsidizing of marine and air transportation, government regulation of power, light, and gas rates, all point strongly to a decreased fear of executive and legislative powers. Whether this be good or bad, it is fully in accord with our previously-described cycle of government. From this study, then, of the science of government— its origin, its forms, its rights and powers—we draw three conclusions. In the words of Woodrow Wilson, "The end of government is the facilitation of the objects of society. The mental action is necessary cooperation. The method of political development is conservative adaptation, shaping old habits into new ones, modifying old means to accomplish new ends." —Walter S. Kilpatrick. History Agitation for a Reformed Presbyterian College was inaugurated at the General Synod of the Church, May, 1879, by the Rev. J. F. Morton, D. D. Upon the acceptance of a motion to this effect, a committee, with Dr. Morton as chairman, was appointed to carry out the project. At various subsequent meetings of the General Synod, further action was taken, but the lack of funds prevented the immediate opening of such an institution. A committee was appointed in 1885 to secure a site for the college at or near Cedarville, Ohio.Seven years later,several large donations made possible further consideration of the project, and in September, 1894, Cedarville College was opened with a faculty of 6 and a student body of thirty-six.
