He is more than administrator of the institution — he is the friend, advisor and confidant of all the students. It is their privilege to know him on a friendly basis. It is his duty to counsel with them in important and trivial matters and to maintain the standards of their college through self-sacrifice and com- plete devotion. Only twice in the history of Cedarville College have its students found it necessary to bid farewell to an out-going president. At this the second time, Dr. W.R. McChes- ney is retiring from the office in which for twenty-five years, he has admirably ful- filled the above requirements. We, the students, know him as a kindly philosopher, astute politician, teacher, preacher, orator and friend. To him we attribute much of the success of Cedarville College —its pur- pose, its spirit, its ideals. We are happy that Dr. "Mac" will remain with us as a member of the faculty. We take this op- portunity to express our gratitude for his loyalty, service, and inspiration to us and to Cedarville College. To Dr. W. R. McChesney we dedicate this book and . . Page Thirteen
