SEMINARY The Reformed Presbyterian Seminary, operating in conjunction with Cedarville College since 1913, opened in September with an enrollment of six students. Two more,taking partial courses, joining at the beginning of the second semester brings the total to eight. As usual, various denominations are represented in the enrollment, the advancement of Christ's Kingdom being always considered before that of "our church." The presence of the Seminary is a great aid to the moral and spiritual life of the College, and, while far from monopolizing religious leadership, the students of the Seminary stand as willing auxiliaries to all who are working for right and righteousness. While they are not free from many faults that are common to college students, they are with scarcely an exception,true at heart. The work of the Seminary is felt not only in the college and town, but also in the surrounding community where many of the students are employed in Bible teaching, preaching and mission work. At present the teaching force consists of the following: Rev. Wilbert R. McChesney, A.M., Ph.D., D.D. President of the College and Dean of the Seminary; Rev. F. A. Jurka,LL.D.; Rev. W.P. Harriman and Rev. B. E. Robison, B.D. The last two named are new members on the teaching force since last year. These men rank high in their qualifications as Seminary instructors. Dr. McChesney is apt, brilliant and scholarly; a man of wide and deep experiences. He is especially fitted as leader and counselor of the young men who are looking forward to Christian service, because of his consecrated life, plus an experience rich in the fruits of actual contact with college life for more than a quarter of a century. Rev. Jurkat is a gifted man of equal experience and represents a different type of Christian, but one no less consecrated and sincere. Rev. Harriman is pastor of the local Reformed Presbyterian Church and a strong Christian man,one who has made good in his particular field and is now ready to lend a helping hand to those who have like ambitions for service. While we regret very much to note that our beloved Professor Allen is no longer with us, we are on the other hand glad to announce that in his place we have Rev. Robison, who is a worthy successor of a worthy man. Mr. Robison possesses an unusual range of experience, having been long an active worker, under varied conditions, in both the home and foreign mission fields. Although not a member of the Reformed Presbyterian denomination his life and teachings commend him to all who have the mind of Christ. Under the instruction of men possessing such varied experiences and high ideals, no young person need graduate with a narrow or onesided conception of right and service. I. S. W. 53
