PICTURED AT LEFT: Faculty and first gradu- ating class of Cedarville College— 1897. The activities and curriculum of Cedar- ville College have always been built around the statement by Dr. McKinney in his mes- sage in the 1903 Memorabilia. "Above all Cedarville College believes that the culture of the mind without the nurture and growth of spiritual life is a mistake. Education with- out morality is a menace to the state. Mor- ality to be deep and abiding must have its springs in religion. Accordingly the Bible is a textbook of the college. No student can graduate who has not taken a thorough and systematic course in it. The professors are all earnest Christians ... They are glad to assist students in every possible way." FACULTY AND SENIOR CLASS. The Glee Club, 1897. From the earliest days, music has played an important role in Cedarville College ac- tivities. Music groups of every variety have provided entertainment and service for the student body, com- munity and interested churches. Dr. McKinney's interest in Bible training by no means dulled his interest in secular education. Through the efforts of Dr. McKinney and the Honorable Whitelaw Reid, Andrew Carnegie of- fered Cedarville College a gift equal to sum it could raise for an endowment. Twelve thousand dollars was secured within one year, and the present library building was completed in the fall of 1908. Architect's sketch of Carnegie Library. 21
