1916 CEDRUS Published bv the Students of Cedarville College Cedarville, Ohio To the Womens Advisory Board Introduction MOST introductions to college annuals try lo outdo one another in silli- ness, imagining that there is more wisdom in the garb of foolishness than foolishness in the garb of wisdom. But we imagine that if wisdom is foolishness, intentional foolishness must be double-eyed blithering idiocy. A little nonsense is relished, but too much palls on the nerves while spread- ing its pall across the scholastic sky. If you want to be singular do not make a studied effort to be so. Just be natural. There is room for one Roosevelt; and all others besides being weak imitations, only nauseate us. Hence we have decided to issue this annual without studied effort to imitate. If you find anything here that you have already seen in other annuals, do not lay it to plagiar- ism or vapidity. Read the book, but be sure lo read your own copy. Recommend it to your friends, and boost the sales into tin thousands. F. A. J. 4 J. Merle Rife........... Dwigiit Sterkett........ WlLLlAM R. ( 01.1.1 NS . . . William W. Anderson D.

The accommodations not l cing sufficient for the needs of the growing institution, in the second year the present main building was erected and opened on the site purchased several years before. Moth the buildings and the campus arc the gifts of generous friends. Tho young, the college has already exerted a lasting and widefelt influence.

Wilbert Renwick McChesney, Ph. D., D. D. THAT the inauguration of a college president is no ordinary event wits felt by all who were privileged to be present at the exercises on Friday, Nov- ember 12, of last year. An unusual spirit of enthusiasm filled the town, the college students, the visitors of the day and all who had had any part in making the event the splendid success that it was. That spirit first made itself manifest in the ringing notes of the song which opened the morning session at the Opera House. At this session. Rev. John J. Wilson. ’03, presiding, introduced the speakers who, as representatives of the various organizations with which Dr. McChesney has been connected or with which he has come in contact, came to pay their tributes to the man who in various capaci- ties has so well met the needs of the college and community. For the citizens of Greene county, Mr. Oscar Bradfute brought congratulations to Dr. McChesney for the honor which had been given him, to the students for the privilege of having such a president, and to the county for the splendid citizen it has in him. Rev. J. S. E. McMichael represented the citizens of Cedarville in an optimistic address on the outlook for unusual future co-operation, between college and community. Prof. F. M. Reynolds reviewed the splendid results of the contact of Dr. McChesney with the teachers and pupils of the public schools of the county. J. Merle Rife'1(5, brought a tribute of love from the students of the college in his address. The congratulations and best wishes of the Alumni were carried by Dr. John Wilson Bickctt of New Concord, Ohio, and the greetings from the faculty were presented bv Prof. Jurkat. The trustees of the college were heard from thru Mr. Joseph A. Finney, ’06, of Xenia, Ohio; and General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church sent its commendation and approval thru its representative, Dr. James j. Chesnut. Each one present felt that years worth while had passed in Cedarville College, but that the future held more in store than there was ever dreamt of when the first few students gathered under the leadership of the first professors and that the future successes would be due to a great extent to the hopes and prayers and work of the last twenty years of Dr. McChesney’s life and to the future service that was opening up before him. The chief address of the morning, “The Function of the Christian College,’’ which was most ably presented by President J. Knox Montgomery, 1). I)., of Mus- kingum college, added an inspiration to the spirit of the day in the picture of the first college of students which was organized under the leadership of the Great Teacher. The morning session filled as it was with tributes of appreciation, enthus- iastic cheers from the students, congratulatory applause from the audience, and a pervading spirit of good will and best wishes, set the tone for the whole day. 19 An opportunity for the visiting Alumni to meet old friends, for the visiting delegates to meet the members of the college and community more intimately was afforded at the Inaugural Luncheon, which was held in the Methodist Church dining rooms at noon. Over two hundred and fifty met together about the tables, which were artistically decorated with'gold and blue shaded candles and with graceful bouquets of gold and white chrysanthemums. At the close of the luncheon Rev. J. Alvin Orr, ’07, of Pittsburg, Pa., as toastmaster, rose and after a personal tribute to Dr. MeChesncy called on the representatives of colleges and a number of other distinguished visitors, who responded with splendid messages of good will and good cheer for Cedarville College and Dr. MeChesnev. Those heard from at this time were: President W. 0. Thompson, of Ohio State University, Prof. William E. Smyser, registrar of Ohio Wesleyan University, President Walter G. Clippinger, Otterbein University; Dr. William P. Johnston, President Emeri- tus of Geneva College; Dr. II. J. Christman, Central Theological Seminary. Dayton. Ohio; E. E. Brandon, Dean and Vice-President of Miami University; Dr. W. S. Scarborough, President of Wilbcrforcc University; President J. Edwin Jay, of Wil- mington College; Dr. Joseph Kyle, President of Xenia Theological Seminary; Prof. J. II. Dickason, of Wooster College; Judge Charles II. Kyle, of Xenia. Ohio; and Representative W. B. Bryson, of Xenia, Ohio. After the luncheon, all those in any way connected with the college as visiting delegates, alumni, students, and officers, marched in academic procession from the college to the Opera House. It was an unusual and interesting sight, with the serious garb of the academic costume, the bright mingling of the different class colors, the long file of over one hundred and fifty loyal friends and members of the college, as the procession passed thru the interested crowds of spectators to join those waiting in the Opera House for the important events of the afternoon, which were the climax of the events of the day. As the crowd assembled, and the visiting delegates, faculty, and trustees took their places on the platform which was decorated in palms, ferns, cedar, and yellow and white chrysanthemums, the college orchestra, which furnished the music for the day, played an overture. Dr. McKinney, the retiring president, had charge of the exercises of the afternoon. The action of the Board of Trustees was read by the president of the l oard, Mr. James II. (’reswell, after which reading the formal inauguration of the president by the retiring president occurred. The inaugural prayer, which was offered by the Rev. James L. Chesnut. I). I)., was followed by the charge to the president by the ex-president. In his sketch of the college Dr. McKinney revealed the splendid service that had already been given by Dr. Mo Chcsney in loyal co-operation and untiring devotion to its best interests, and in his personal address to him lie pledged his heartiest co-operation. As retiring president he charged him to be true to the office in deed as in name, to decide for himself the problems brought to him for solution. In response to the charge and the greetings of the day. Dr. MeChesncy spoke in terms which revealed his depth of appreciation of the honor which had been made 20 his. and dec| cncd the feeling of his hearers that a splendid future was opening out for Ccdarvillc with the co-operation of faculty, students, and friends in helping to make its plans successful. Then followed the scholarly and eloquent inaugural address on the subject, I he Ideal College ”, in which he traced the history of the relations of colleges with the public schools and the universities and showed that each of the three had its place to fill and its function to perforin. Then he outlined the elements of the ideal college which he felt to be: first, material equipment in endowment and buildings: second, the ideal personal «dement in an efficient, devoted, and loyal board of trustees; a progressive, inspiring, and admirable faculty; enthusiastic, diligent, and noble students; loyal and grateful alumni; and a co-operative enter- prising community; and third, high ideals of citizenship and character. At the close «� f the Inaugural address the Dean, Rev. Ix'roy Allen, gave a short address ple«lging the love ami co-operation of faculty and students. As a fitting affirmation of his words, gifts of flowers from the faculty and the students were presented by the ushers, while the college students sang a song to the new president and raised a rousing cheer. As the crowd dispersed and the words of congratulation, good cheer, and best wishes died away, those most deeply interested in the college and its future felt that an epoch had passed and that the future that lay before it promised still greater achievements. The last words of the Inaugural address were re-echoed in each heart: “I«ct us here and now dedicate ourselves anew, with the like devotion which characterized our illustrious fathers, to co-operate with one another and to toil with faith in Cod and with a view si lgle to His glory for the upbuilding of Oedar- ville College that there may continue thru the coming ages a Christian institution of learning in our midst to train our youth, enrich our nation, and make glad the church of Christ. E. K. II. 21 22 Senior History II is with pride that we record in the pages of this Codrus the deeds done (and undone) in the flesh I� y one of the most wonderfully and fearfully made classes in the history of old C. C. When we are all on the dead level in the cemetery, it will l c said of us ns of Lincoln, “Now they belong to the ages.” Many will shed tears, copious, gushing tears, not of regret and distress, Init tears of joy anil gratitude for the innumerable volumes of good deeds which we have placed on the shelves of eternity. In 1912 twenty-four young striplings registered as Freshmen, but ns time flowed on the number dwindled or increased by spurts until we now numl er fifteen. At the beginning of our Senior year Ralph Ivlder safely jumped from the valley of the sophomore over the mountains of Juniorhood, into the laud of the Seniors flowing with intellectuality and irrigated by success. Rev. Whyte will join our ranks on Commencement Day and take his bachelor degree. Two of our members, (). M. and C. 1'., have already put on tin- teacher's luirness and an' pulling many thru the slough of ignorance. They, too. will be recipients of degrees on June 9th. Yes, wc arc fearfully and wonderfully made. Some have poise, others uvoinhi|K)isc; some are blondes, many broomettes; and others have so much of them on the ground that it is ft wonder they don’t take cold. We arc the hope of the ages and despair of the Profs. Our motto is efficiency in the broadest sense —to «lo everything and everybody. We are going to put on the market the biggest (how about I)avc?) and the best qualified bunch of teachers ever yet moulded and branded by 0. C. It is said that teachers are the salt of the cart It .and our Profs, will testify that we have already attained a five cent sack capacity along this line. There are coming scientists among us who will no doubt be analyzing gold «lust for years to come. Then, too. there arc some who have proved most efficient in argumentation and debate. Prof. Allen’s patient and faithful lalnirs along this line an not barren of results. Such weighty questions as those concerning ” involution” and “ Military Preparedness have been settled for all times by some «if our esteemed mcmlrers. Ada and Dorothy have had a course in domestic silence nn l others of our fair members can execute anything on the piano, even just judgement. Tis said that Merle has the rudiments of no less than ten languages stored away in the nooks and cubby holes of his cranial anatomy. On the other hand Willie has the financial deficits of no less than ten organizations storc«l away in the nooks and crevices of his pockets—some treasurer! There is an erroneous notion afloat concerning our Indligerenqy. Very few things has our class, collectively or individually, sought to oppose. Hut in the course of human trickery, when numerically shaped flower gardens, obnoxious because of plats and placer, an planted in full view of daily anti legitimate walk, then WKfcel it OlrR Dl'TY to the institution to rise up and leman«l justice—or ro«� t out geraniums. Again, who (1 leave space for a reply) would not try t « pull the wool over the eyes of the faculty when in order to receive your “sheepskin s’ you are compelled to orate 1004) words for the ears of the unapprcciating public. Wc have | clitionc l, wc have remonstrated, we have supplicated; we have prostrated lwfore the faculty and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the Hoard «if Trustees. This hauls us t philosophize with Shakespeare—with a few hlottings out and some insertions— “To deliver ’em or not t« deliver ’em. that is tin- question:— Whether ’tis nobler in the minds t«� suffer 'I'lie slings and arrows «d outrageous fortune. Or to take arms against the movement. And by opposing end it? In one sense we an- belligerent. We Itclieve with our President (Me(licsncy) in nu ntal prepare«l- m-ss. The Profs, have been doing their best to load mr intellectual howitzers and f«� r four years have been steadily mobilizing the forces «if truth and fact.

Two were engaged in tin art of teaching; one, for reasons unknown, remained at home; and another having attended summer school, was promoted to the Senior Class, thus failing to experience the joys and privileges which naturally attend this Junior ('lass. All these departures from the straight course make our class seem rather small. But two new ones were added to our number, making eight in all; not a very large class yet, to be sure, but one which you will all agree made up that quality which is so essential. Our president, John Collins, gained quite a reputation as center of the Boys’ Basket Ball Team, and ably assisted by the left forward, Paul ('reswell, did much to gain Cedarville’s victories. The Ciris' Basket Ball Team was also well represented by our class. Florence Somers played center and Donna Burns, forward, on the first team. Ruth Ramsey and Mabel Stormont were “defenders of the ball” on the second team. But playing basket ball was not our greatest -accomplishment by any means. As evidenced in the class rooms we spent much time in study, for members of our class have long been “old stand-bys” of the professors in several of the various classes, and in last year’s Bible Heading Contest, Miss Somers won first place. Then, to educate us in the higher arts and to help us pass away our leisure hours, we can call upon our two musicians, Irma Creswoll, who has taken music at the College for several years, and Mary ('licsnut, who, before coming to Ccdar- ville, attended Forest Park University, St. Louis, where she took a music course for two years. These then arc some of our good qualities. There are others, too, and when the Juniors get together there is always “something doing . Whether it is in the winter months, when the fire burns merrily and the Chcsnuts are sputtering on the hearth, or in the happy Somer-time. that they meet together, the Juniors of 1917 are sure to have a jolly evening, and one worthy of such an illustrious class.

Of course the upper class men tried their usual initiations but we were aide intake our own part and have our good times. In the fall of 1915 on the opening day of college fifteen of last year's Freshmen returned and three more were glad to join the ranks and claim their rights as Sophomores. Now we an eighteen, the largest Sophomore class in the history of the college. Of the six that left our midst, the two girls are at home learning the duties of farmers' daughters. One of the boys is down on the farm , one is in Westminster College, another in Indiana University, ami the other is in Ohio University at Athens. Among our numlx r there are musicians, orators, artists, athletes, logicians, mathematicians and theologians. We claim four members of the girls' basket ball team, three of the toys' team, the captain of both teams and the manager of the girls’ team. December .‘Ini. opened the 1915-10 luisket ball sea- son with a double header between sophs, ami the other three classics. We were defeated by a score of 99-33. In compliance with the terms of the challenge we the losing class were to entertain the winning classes with a feed. After that supper the boys could not but say: Wc have “some cooks in our class. We have reason to believe that we have orators in our class. In the preliminary contest Cameron McClure won first place and William Collins second place, latter the winner in tin- preliminary con- test won thin! place in the State contest held at Baldwin Wallace college. If space would permit wc could write for hours telling of the qualities and characteristics of the class of '18. But wc want you to know us not only as a class hut as individuals.

For if I should say that the class of '19 was composed of the brightest constellation of intellects ever seen under one canvas, or em- braced a combination of wit and wisdom which threatens to surprise the world (however true this may be) it might not be received in the spirit intended and might result in producing among its intellectual lights self pride worthy of a Sophomore. So I shall merely say that wc delight to recall that fourteenth day of September in the fall of 1915 when twenty-three vivacious Freshmen and three promising Preps were made at home in Ccdarville College. Wc have been associated together only for a short time, but during that time wc have learned to love and honor each other. Our soeial intercourse has been most pleasant and when it conies to having spreads the Presides cannot be beaten. Oh, yes, we generally had some trailers as you will learn from the remark made by one of the upper classmen after he had a very touching experience at one of our spreads. When asked by a lady, if he were an educated person, he replied “yes mum, I am a good roads scholar. We were noted for our kind hospitality shown to these visitors, but when the time came for our departure, we would far rather see the other fellow hoof it than share with him our most comfortable ’limousine.'' You see the fun has turned to us and we are still anxiously awaiting their swift attention. Since wc like our class the best We’ll tell you so. Since we’d have her lead the rest We'll help her grow. When there’s anything to do Well be there to push with you And feel bully when it’s thru. Don't you know. For old ( . ('. we'll ever stand. She’s our style; And shout her fame from strand to strand All the while. We’re a jolly twenty-three We drink our tea in mirth and glee And shout and yell for old C. C. All the while. II. S. 43 44 Cedar Day OTTIKR colleges have I heir Flag Day a ml their May Days, hut Cedarvillc college has her Cedar Day. It is an institution peculiar to Cedarvillc College. 'Fite students regard Cedar Day as the annual college holiday when the student lnxlv is at home to the entire community. The faculty regard Cedar Day as the day of all the year when tin community and the college get very close together thru wholesome fun and pleasure and over the festive board. The people of the community regard Cedar Day much as they regard the fourth of July. It is a general holiday and it is gratifying to see business houses closed, farm work abandoned, baskets filled and the whole family and all the families— coming to spend the day on the college campus. Cedar Day in lf)l; was the biggest and best yet: Very much of its success may be attributed to the fact that the weather conditions were ideal for carrying out the program as previously arranged. The attendance was the largest and most enthusiastic, the “stunts were interesting and original. The crowning of the May Queen and tin May Pole dance in her honor were most pleasing. The basket dinner was—well, what shall we say except that it was very satisfying. As the visitors were assembling in front of College Hall at nine thirty to witness the “stunts”; busy changes in the appearance of the usually good looking Seniors were taking place in the laboratory, and mysterious faces from time to time |x:ered from the windows. But the explanation was made when five cannibals with knives and clubs as weapons emerged from College Hall and hid in the grass and behind the trees to await the white missionary who was scheduled to pass that way. In a few moments he appeared and the attack was made, but of course he escaped by means of his trusty air ship, “the Burns Fowl” and thus secured his “Safety First. Altho the Juniors called their stunt “The Dance of Demons” it was in reality the stately minuet as danced by our grandfathers and grandmothers, in costumes appropriate to tlie dance. The Juniors acquitted themselves well but perhaps “Miss Win. Allen Hastings deserves special mention. In a very real and convincing way the sophomores demonstrated in “Only a Dream” the effect of the college upon the community in which it is located. C. C. was represented as being compelled to seek another location on account of lack of support, and upon her removal from Cedarvillc, the young people of the town began to transfer their interest from ideals which were uplifting to those which were degrading. Of course the College was restored to Cedarvillc as her own Cedarvillc College . It was indeed a “Short time in Sing Sing Prison” for the Freshmen, but even then they were heard as they noisily executed Tipperary” on their human pipe organ. Typical of the purpose of the Young Men’s Christian Association in C. C. the devil met His Waterloo” when he was chased olT the campus. And the faculty stunt: “What is It? Wore’nt you surprised? So were we.” 45 Hut flic most delightful event of the morning was the Crowning of the May Queen and the May Pole Dance that followed. To the beautiful strains of music led by the College Orchestra, the queen. Miss Mildred Corry, marched to the throne arranged among the cedars on the campus. She was preceded by the little crown bearer and four little girls carrying garlands of flowers; and was followed by her attendants and the twenty-four dancers. As she reached her throne and her fol- lowers gathered about her, the retiring queen. Miss Mary Bird, crowned her Queen of the May. The «lancers courtesicd, took their places around the Pole and flic “merry pulse of feet began . The young men in white and the young women in rainbow colors formed a most beautiful spectacle as they danced “The May Pole Dance” on the college green. At twelve o’clock the basket, dinner was served at the Alford Memorial. I'ndcr the supervision of the Women’s Advisory Board of the College, and the efficient service given by the waiters and waitresses of the Freshman class, the guests enjoyed the dinner to the fullest. Mr. Merle ltife delivered an excellent Cedar Day Oration. Songs, yells and speeches followed until it was necessary to adjourn to attend the baseball game on the campus grounds between Cedarville College and the Jamestown Independents, which resulted in a victory for the home team. Cedar Night was celebrated equally as well as Cedar Day, when the students gave an entertainment in the Opera House. The proceeds were given to the Women’s Advisory Board to be used in beautifying College Hall and as a token of the students’ appreciation of what the Board had already done along this line. A pleasing little farce “A False Alarm”, was presented, followed by a program of readings, solos, and quartette selections. The program closed with a splendid chorus of twenty-five voices. Surely Cedar Night formed a fitting close to Cedar Day and the pleasant memories of the most delightful day in May, 1915, will linger with the College and the | eople of the community for many years, to be supple- mented by the pleasures of each succeeding Cedar Day.

It was really the first event in the administration of the new President, Dr. MeChcsncy, and a most auspicious beginning it constituted, proving conclusively the consummate tact and ability of the new executive of the institution. Elaborate preparations for the opening of the summer term had been carefully made. Professor Wright had compiled a list of four hundred and seventeen rooms, all at seventy-five cents per week, “including light, care, and parlor privileges! 'The Dean, becoming excited over the overwhelming hordes of summer schoolers whom he saw rushing in (in his vivid imagination), sent out an emergency call asking for eight hundred more instructors. Only ten teachers responded to the offers of munificent salary held out, and appeared upon the scene of their future conflict, prepared to conquer or to give up in the attempt . And such a bunch! There was Waits, the soldier, the lawyer, the orator, the philosopher, the scholar, the educator, the arguficr, and there was Byron l.vtle. the famous athlete, the enthusiastic “booster.” Damon and Pythias, David and Jonathan, Laelius and Scipio, never so exemplified the principles of true friendship as did these two, Lytle and Waits! Then there was Miss Clarke, the beautiful, the accomplished, the breaker of hearts, and of long established “cases.” Next came Miss Wolf, the Student; Miss McCance, the prima donna; Miss Jackson, the classical scholar; Mahaffey, the singist; Wheeler, whose merits called forth the encomium from one of the fairest of the fair (who by the way, had failed to get a beau), “There’s only one man up there that I’d have, and he’s married!” Neff, the Silent, the distinguished historian, and Josh Billings, the great humorist from Adams County, conclude the list of the Ccdarville Immortals. But what life and spirit this upper Ten put into Cedarvillc’s first summer session can never be told until the veil of mystery and death is unrolled on the other side of the Great River—Massic’s Creek. Time indeed would fail us to tell of many another whose wise and witty say- ings and deeds of bravado and renown, at chicken roasts, marshmallow toasts, receptions, parties, watermelon rollings, spreads, picnics, and all sorts of doings, added spice to the long days of labor and hard nights «if study. Their name is legion, and their rewards do follow them. And in spite of all the mischief and fun, what loads of work were done and safely stored away in the barns and corncmiMjj iM| Mj | j||jru'e it to say that many a breast the prosjiect of anotheris all that keeps hope alive! Fond memories cling to the summer past. All hail to the summer yet to be! PROP. ALLEN 49 50 51 52 MUSIC STUDENTS 53 Women’s Advisory Board TIIK Women’s Advisory Hoard, just six years old. is in its youth. Yet in the few years of its activ- ity. it has done much to improve the interior of College Hall. The hoys and girls’ rest rooms and the music room were refurnished, repainted, carj eted. and ornamented in previous years so as to give beauty, attractiveness, and comfort such as may In found in our l� est homes. During this year the clui|x. l was carpeted, seats revarnished. and the walls and ceiling frescoed. These improvements have not only called for the careful thought but have cost the laborious efforts of the lloard. which, however, was given most cheerfully. This, too. is only a beginning; for the Board has other splendid plans which they expect to put into effect in the near future. In addition to the direct work of the Board for the College, its efforts and enthusiasm have aroused a most helpful interest and sentiment for the College throughout the entire community. The Board has justified its reorganization arul continuance. It is essential to the welfare of Ccdarvillc College. ________________34__________________________ r MLLY. OUT rpR r !r THt LOnQ ATMt %MO«TOr T nEEPirts Tint 7AVt ™OF. CO IMG pow r towrt JA ALT 55 Cedarville College Library ONE of the greatest assets of any college is its library. This fact was early realized by the faculty of Cedarville College. And iu the fall of 1895� Dr. McChesney made an appeal to the congregations of the Reformed Presbyterian Church for contributions to a library. In answer to this appeal over two hundred volumes were donated, and a number of the leading | eriodicals and magazines were provided for the reading tables. For a number of years the present chemistry recitation room was used for a library and managed jointly by faculty and students. Such an arrangement only partially met the needs of the students. During the holiday season of 1905, thru the efforts of Dr. David McKinney and lion. hitelaw Reid, Andrew Carnegie offered Cedarville College a gift equal to the sum it could raise for an endowment. Twelve thousand dollars were secured within one year, and the present building was completed in the fall of 1908. Arrange- ments were made with the township for a union library, and about five thousand volumes are now found on its shelves, while many of the leading periodicals and magazines are found on its reading tables. The shelves will hold seventeen thou- sand volumes, and books are being added every year. Space forbids telling of the activities in the library; for, besides the reading rooms, there are reception rooms, domestic science rooms, a physics laboratory, a seminary] room and librarian’s office and the president’s room. It has meant and does mean a great deal to the students as well as to outside patrons, and its outlook is very encouraging. 56 Reformed Presbyterian Church FOREIGN .MISSIONS HOME MISSIONS THE Reformed Presbyterian Church looks I � Cedarville College for Mis- sionaries. 'there is work to he done in the Home Field and also in the Foreign. Miss Martha Ramsey has done splendid work for Home Misssions in I .os Angeles; the Rev. Win. Waide is our pioneer American Missionary in India. Roth of them are graduates of Cedarville College. Mr. R. X. Column. Jr., one of our College students, has offered himself to tin Roard of Foreign Missions for service in India, and there are others who have de- cided for this as their life work, hut have not yet publicly offered themselves.

Staff FOREMOST among tin organizations of college life Fanils the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion. whose social benefits, moral influence and religious training have imprinted in the lives of it-s workers the worthy principles of Christianity together with a zealous inspiration of mis- sionary service. From the Iteginning of this association in 1006 until the present time it has helped to prejmre the young men of t'cdarville for a larger life, and has even led some into the ministerial and missionary fields. Mr. Wnide. who was one of its organizers, is now a Reformed Presbyterian missionary to India, ami Professor banning, who was for four years an enthusiastic sup- porter. sailed in 1014 for China, w here he is doing excellent work. The year IDl.VItf has been one of marki-d growth both in mrmlicr.ship and interest. Our weekly meetings have l een characterized from time to time by some excellent addresses. Rev. Maurice RuU-n. Supl. of the New Covenant Mission of Pittsburg, gave us a very interesting talk on the Jew vs. Christi- anity. Dr. McChestiey and Dr. Chesnut have given us several helpful messages. On Feb. foil, all the men of the college were entertained by the Y. M. C. A. The evening was in joy e I l� y melius of giunes Ions Is and u social k « I time. Plans won? also laiil for future work and u written constitution drafted. On March fourth I«awrcnce Kennon. our new president, went totheSta to Conference at ( olumbus. The convention was a grand inspiration, and Mr. Kennon returned full of enthusiasm for promoting the interests of our association. May the present Ik- only a In-ginning of a wider field for Christian work in the years which are to come. ( 62 II. C. Me. Y. W. C. A. TUB Young Women's Christian Assi cialimi of Vdnrvillc College received its charter from the National Young Women's Christian Association during the year 1910. For six years it has been an influence for good among tin girls of the college. Altho its membership is compari- lively small, it has a deep a holing spirit anti we are sure all would he loath to give it up. 'Hie year 19115 has been noteworthy for one reason es| ecin!ly. Being a branch of the National Association, we dedicated the mouth of February to the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the organization. Not only were our prayer meetings devoted to a review of association work, but on the Wnd. of February, we celebrated the birthday of the association. During the afternoon the mothers of the college were entertained. A little program of music, sketches of Y. W. C. A. work and an ad- dress by Miss Mamie Corl� ett, our county secretary, were given; after which tea as served to the ladies. In the evening the Alumni and High School girls were entertained in an informal manner. During the evening with the assistance of Miss Corbett an organization was effected among the High School girls. Another interesting feature was the money raised for our missionaries, Prof. and Mrs. K. A. Dinning; to Ik: UScd in connection with their school in Chinn. The girls lunl «noli invented n «piiirter during the Minuncr months from hieh was realized over forty dollars. The girls arc interested in the work, and ;t is with much appreciation that we look to those who were instrumental in organizing the association in the college ami commenced a work which we trust will reap abundant blessings as the years roll on, both for the girls and college of which it forms a |«� rt. PHILOSOPHIC HALL Philosophic Literary Society WANT of time and lack of space prevents us from tellinj? of the past achievements of the Pliilos- ophie l.it rary Society'. Put a brief account of the work of the society for tills year will Rive you n faint idea of what it means to Ik a member of this society. This year marked a great change in the constitution of the society: hitherto it lutd lx on under the direct control of tin faculty. This year the faculty «-cased to direct hut gave the society the privilege of conducting its own affairs. Immediately at the Iteginning of the col- lege year tin society met and drafted such a constitution as was thot would best suit the needs of the society. Following the revision of the constitution a Itanqnct was given to the students, faculty and alumni. 'Hie next Monday night the society gave its first program, and at the business meeting which fol- lowed the program twenty new students were received as members of the society. These have heartily and earnestly joined in the performance of the duties which have l� ecn impovd upon them. Hood programs liave been given almost every two weeks thruout the year, closing with two special programs, one consisting of n play, the other of an alumni program. These constitute the principal events of the society year, and to nil we extend a hearty welcome to visit us at any time and to remind you that You can make your time worth while If your aims and your ambitions Take the Philusphic style. 65 F.

The change referred to was the abolition of -ompulsor.v literary | erfonnance. Ag might liavc l een expected, quite a few have dropped out of the society ns a result of this a - tion. But instead of weakening the society it lias strengthened it. Those who have left us an- of course individuals who took little or no interest in the society, and were in fact a elog to progres- sive action. With their removal only those are left who wish to profit by the exercises. Tho then- was a loss in quantity, there was a rise in average quality. Pardon us for patting ourselves on the | .sterior expanse of our cephalic epidermis; hut we think we have the la-st programs that any literary society has given in (V-darvillc College for several years. We have in a definite and united manner taken Up a line of work which cannot but prove of educational and cultural value, the study of a nmnl er of poets of Knglaml and America. The first program was devoted to Kipling, the next to Tennyson,and so on. We purpose to study the poets of Ohio some time in the near future, and then perhaps the poets of Greene county. The programs already given have been attended hy closely paeked audiences. Our aim has been, ami is. to make each program better than the one before.

SIXCK Basket Ball is the leading sport among small colleges, it was the main topical the beginning of school last fall; and the many interested students and supporters in the vicinity cussed and discussed the many possibilities and impossibilities from which the team should be framed. With William Collins elected to the captaincy, practice was commenced in earnest about the middle of November: and for several weeks the captain was unable to pick five men that could win two practice games in succession, so evenly was the talent matched. Finally the practice of signals was begun and a squad was picked to open the season with Antioch College. The loss of the opening game was a big disappointment not only to the team, but also to their many supporters. But this was only one of several dose scored games played during the season. This game was followed bv the Jamestown game which C. C. won Hl-30. It was one of the fastest and prettiest games ever seen in Cedarville. The improve- ment over the preceding week was remarkable. A change in the line-up resulted in the trading of positions by W. Collins and Creswell, which seemed to help in many ways, and from then on the following team represented Cedarville College:— 71 Chesnut or McClure.................................................Right Forward Crcswcll...........................................................Ix'ft Forward •T. Collins.......................................................Center W. Collins or Cornwell......................................Right Guard Ken non........................ ............................Ix ft Guard Soon after the holidays the team took a trip thru the northern and eastern sections of the state, first meeting the St. Ignatius school of Cleveland, which had the ljest team in Cleveland, if not in the state. The game w as lost by the score of 74-30. The only thing remarkable about the game was that the 30 points was the most scored against them by any team this season. The following night Cedarville won over Ashland College by the score of H-30 in a very well played game. The next evening they lost to West Lafayette College 24-19 (Reason Eighteen fouls were called on Cedarville.) The tireless athletes journeyed back to Columbus, where they met and defeated the famous team representing the Ohio State institution for deaf-mutes. The first and only time in the history of the college that we have defeated this team. The score was 13-18. The boys thoroly enjoyed every minute of the trip, even tho W. Collins lost a five spot and 1 . II. lost an overcoat. On the 21st of January Cedarville met and defeated the fast New Straitsvillc Cubs in the fastest game staged on the local floor this season. With the reputa- tion gained from years playing together, during which time the Cubs developed a machine which claimed the world’s championship in 1014, Cedarville was ex- pected to play a losing game, but the team played the best brand of ball shown this year and won 41-30. The first half ended 14-15 in favor of the Cubs. Chesnut replaced Mc(dure,and by every player playing brilliant ball and making star shots the game was put on the “won”-side of the Cedarville scorebook. This also marked the appearance of (Uornwell as guard, Kcnnon. the regular l cing a grippe victim. He allowed one basket as well as scoring one himself and playing a great floor game. Toward the last of the season the team seemed to go back a little and lost two close games to Wilmington. Against Bellbrook Cedarville ran up a freak score of 122-21, J. Collins alone scoring 24 field goals. The prospects for next year an the brightest in tin history of tin college. All the squad will be back together with one r probably two from previous teams, and the new talent from the high schools, which should Ik something above the ordinary. The team wishes to thank their patrons who supported them this year and also the second team and the High School team which afforded the team so much prac- tice: also the referee Mr. S. F. Crcswcll and the Official Scorer, Mr. Karl Richards, who very efficiently performed their respective duties. While the team lias a few regrets, it has no apologies, alt ho a more successful season is hoped for next year. P. H. C. 72 I V Civ c I.

C. at one time had a girls’ basket ball team which won a state championship and that she has had other teams which have had many hard battles with some opposing forces. At once you will wonder, “was the team for 1915-1(5 such a one?” No, speaking frankly, it was not. Somehow the centers never jumped quite high enough nor were they quite swift enough, the guards were not quite speedy enough, and the forwards never aimed just right, but they always did their best, took their defeats with a smile, and kept right on playing. For, Tis better to have played and lost than never to have played at all. And when it was all over they were glad that they had had the courage to stick to it. for they had thereby earned enough to enable them to give a leap year party for the boys, and did not have to avoid all the grocers in town until a sufficient length of time had passed for them to save enough pennies from their postage stamp allowance to pay the bills. But down deep in their hearts they were hurt because they could not be state champions. So even though they could not guard or throw goals well enough to win a championship in Basket Ball, they leave it to you whether they did not win one along some other line. Consider them carefully, and although some may be loo stout and some too slender; some too light some too dark to suit your fancy, yet do you not think they could easily win a championshiip in a beauty contest? Yes? Then thank you one and all, and their heartaches are all healed, for what daughter of I've would not prefer winning a beauty prize to a few basket ball games ? 75 History of the Class of ’97 WK want others to know tlmt we arc not aslianicd of our record. A college would scarcely Ik recognized if it «lid not produce graduates. The first class is necessary if there is to Ik a second « r third. Those who finished the course of study and were graduated in 1807— the first class—consider thanselvesiortunate indeed. It is with a feeling of delight that we write «if the “dauntless an«l triumphant ” seniors of ‘07.

Perliapx more than any other in the class. Homer's experience has Ikx-u great and varied. In the autumn of 1897 he «-ntered 1‘nion Seminary, spending one year there, and in connection with his Seminary course sending one year in post-graduate work in Columbia Cniversity. Two years la- s|H-nt in the Reformed Seminary at New Brunswick.

The history would not lx complete without Cal’s name; hut ns far as that is concerned, neither would the history of the college nor the town he quite finished without it. Cal is the only one of the class that stayed at home after graduation and has been looking after the “stuff . Ixioking thru some old papers we find that his favorite resort was behind the hot. Cal didn’t enter the ministry and In-come a pulpit pounder like the rest of his class, hut lie did enter the teaching profession and has lifted it and made it better: and who knows the number of lives he has influenced for the better? What a wonderful field a teacher oc- cupies after all. Listen to his record as recounted by the scribe: At- tendes! Summer School at Wooster, one summer; was iuurri -d to Miss Clara Townsloy December 24. 11)01; one little girl has been bom to bless their home, and she is a candidate for Cedarville College- -Hurrah; taught four years in rural school, followed by two years teaching in the (Grammar school at Clifton; then three years in the Grammar school at Cedarville: and for the oast nine years has held the position of Princi- pal of the Cedarville High School. Cal has stayed around his own home and has made good. The rest of us have gone out to other places. Maybe we could not have attained even a small recognition had we remained near our old college home Perhaps the prophet spoke truer words than he thot when he spoke of Cal's favorite resort “Iwhind the bat. The rest of the class have become fielders, but Cal lias «lone excellent service at tin home plate. Yc take our hats off to the one in the class who has entered the teaching profession and performed his work so well. Iaing may he live and long may he teach, and in it have all the satisfaction that he is «loing good. RKV. JOHN WILSON BICKKTT, . B., A. M., I). I). The first name in the college catalogue under the list of graduates is the one that heads this article. There is something unique in belong- ing to the first class of this noted and worthy institution, but there is also a distinction in being the first mentioned in the list of Alumni. Of course it is not the fault of the others that their names In-gin with a letter farther down the alphabet, for no child has the right of choice. However, this honor belongs to Bickett” as long as Cedarville College exists. Just two things stand out prominently in his college life : his fad which was a moustache, and his favorite occupation which was “driving ten thousand miles,” according to the seer of old. In the autumn of '97 he entered Xenia Seminary, from which he was graduated in April 1900; licensed to preach. May, 1S99; ordained September 1900.

If some one could have stood on the mountain top and prophesied the wonderful | ovrer this member of the old class of '07 would wield, | crhaps some might have doubted the validity of the prophecy. Wonderful opportunities are o en to those who an willing. It is not an easy task to write the biog- raphy of the truly great: all that we will try to do will Ik- to pick out a few things here and there in the life of Orr. A higher hand controls life and destinies otherwise than we some- times plan. And so instead of entering a Medical School in the autumn of '97. Orr entered the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary in Philadelphia under the saintly teacher of blessed memory. Dr. David Steele, and continued there until the holidays of 1900. At the same time he entered the Senior class of the I'niversity of Pennsylvania and was graduated in 98. After two years «if post-graduate in the same institution he received the Masters Degree, lie completed his theological course in the United Presbyterian Seminar)' in Pittsburgh. 1901. lie was the pastor of the Norris Square United Presbyterian church, Philadelphia. 1901-18. He aceepte«l a call to the First United Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in November 1913,and continues its efficient pastor. Since his pastorate in Pittsburgh commenced the membership has increased from four to seven hundred. Among the many things of a busy pastor that concern him, is the building of the community house contiguous to the church, for community service, the object of which is to lead peo; leto |H rsonal fellow- ship with Christ. The building will cost about $809.090 and will bo endowed; having a corps of ten or twelve workers. Many have been blessed by his preaching ami no doubt in years to come greater things are in store for him. Orr a married to Miss Imo Jean Koadnrmvr. June4, 1904, in Denver. Colorado. They have four children. 78 I History of the Class of 1898 PRECIOUS packages come in small bundles. The class of '9S numbers only two, but both are men of the Inn ly|x and most worthy sons of their alma muter. They have llirmvn their lives fully and devotedly into the service of humanity and the results prove that real service brings true greatness. JAMES M. M QUILKIX Rev. James M.
