1933 Cedrus Yearbook

Dr.Jurkat Ever since the second year of the College's establishment, Dr. Jurkat has been an indispensable factor in Cedarville College life. A brilliant scholar, widely-read in many languages, he is the last resort to which we fall back whenever we want information in any field. His teaching schedule reflects this mental versatility, for it is always crowded with many hours of classes, in several different fields. German, Latin, Hebrew, Greek, Ameri- can History—or history of any sort—occasional sciences, advanced Bible courses—all these are included in his average schedule, and he teaches them all equally well, mixing in numerous anecdotes fitting to the given subject, and adding liberal portions of crack- ers and cheese to the college student's ever-hungry inner man. Dr. Jurkat holds the purse-strings for the College, and in times like these,that alone qualifies him to be described as a financial genius. Dean Steele In a world of rapidly inceasing complexity, perhaps the most valuable subjects of all as a means of preparation for life are the social sciences. Economics, sociology, and various phases of world history fall within Professor Steele's province, and a survivor of one of his courses is well grounded in a knowledge of the subject. However,Professor Steele does not confine himself to social sciences; he is also professor of Bible, and of public speech. The debate teams under his tutelage have built up an enviable record in the past two years. As Dean of Men,and Faculty Advisor for the Y.M. C. A.for several years, he has endeared himself to the hearts of every C. C. man who has come under his regime. Prof. and Mrs. Steele's home is a welcome gather- ing place for groups of Cedarville College's students, at parties nad Y. M. C. A. Cabinet meetings, or just for a touch of old-fashioned Hoosier hospitaity. The Campus The trees which beautify the College main campus are of great variety. Shrubbery is artistically arranged around the two buildings, and the long front walk is lined with shrubs and small evergreens. The Cedar Day platform is the "concentration Point" of the campus's beauty,for here a veritable grove of majestic evergreens forms a natural setting for an outside performance. The baseball diamond to the rear of Old Main is one of the finest of which any college in Ohio can boast; and a practice gridiron is also found on the athletic field. Pape Eleven C. W.
