1918 Cedrus Yearbook

HISTORICAL STATEMENT f'Cl EDARVILLE COLLEGE is under the control of the General BJ 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 con- ducted an academy from which many noted persons graduated. The accom- modations 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. Though young, the College has already exerted a lasting and wide-felt influence. Its students and graduates take high rank in seminaries, universities and other advanced schools of learn- ing. Many of them are worthily filling positions of power and influence in America and foreign lands. And in the last two years the men of Cedar- ville College have nobly answered the call of their country, and are now serving their country's standards. 10
