1920 Cedrus Yearbook

1920 THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY NE of the greatest assets of any college is a library. The fac- ulty of Cedarville College soon realized this and sc Di. McChes. ney made an appeal for contributions for a library. Twelve hundred volumes were donated and some of the leading periodicals were provided for the reading tables. For several years the chemistry reci- tation room was used for a library and managed by faculty and students. In 1905, Andrew Carnegie donated twelve thousand dollars on con- dition that a like amount be added to college endowment fund. This con- dition was met within one year and the present building was completed in 1908. Arrangements were made with the township for a union library and it contains the modern library equipment with a capacity for seventeen thousand volumes. New books are being added every year and this year several more periodicals were added to the reading tables.
