Torch, Spring 1987: Centennial Issue

r Campus News Dr. Merlin Ager, Chairman of the Education Department, recently visited five Cedarville education majors who are student teaching in the Alliance Academy in Quito , Ecuador. For the last few years, the department has added a global aspect to its program by placing student teachers in both Ecuador and the Philippines. Dr. John Silvius recently returned from a month-long stay in Cuzco , Peru, where he taught Field Biology to students involved in the ARRIBA program (Academic Residency and Research Internship for Baptists Abroad) . When parents of two alumni established a $150 ,000 fund to match alumni gifts and commitments for the new Library, alumni responded overwhelmingly. They gave or pledged over $170,000 to the project by the December 31, 1986, deadline . * * * "Old Main ," erected in 1895 at a cost of $14,000 and later referred to as the "Administration Building," has received yet another name.
