1920 Cedrus Yearbook

1920 OF4 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE EDARVILLE College was opened for instruction, September 19, 1894, in a residence formerly owned by Rev. Hugh McMillan. In 1895 the present building was erected and entered. Rev. David McKinney, D. D., LL. D., was the first president and acted in this capacity for twenty-one years. Rev. Wilbert Renwick McChesney, Ph. D., D.D., who was a professor in the college, succeeded Rev. McKinney as president. The college is recognized by Ohio State University and by the De- partment of Public Instruction of the State of Ohio and by practically all of the leading universities. Cedarville College was founded with the sublime object in view of advancing the interests of the Kingdom of God. Young men are trained for the Gospel Ministry, young men and women educated for missionary service or for work in the church. But character is the supreme aim of the college; not merely good moral character, but character patterned after our great example, Jesus Christ. 7
