19 Historical Statement 16 C EDARVILLE COLLEGE is under the control of the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. It was chartered by the State of Ohio in January, 1887. On Wednesday, September 19, 1894, the college was opened for instruction in the mansion formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan, D.D.,where half a century ago,he conducted an academyfrom which many noted persons graduated. The accommodations not being sufficient for the needs of the growing institution, in the second year the present main building was erected and opened on the site purchased several years before. Both the buildings and the campus are the gifts of generous friends. Tho young, the college has already exerted a lasting and widefelt influence. Its students and graduates take high rank in seminaries, universities and other advanced schools of learning. Many of them are worthily filling positions of power and influence in America and foreign lands. 7
