1920 THE ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM E 9BJ26 N 1002, Mr. W. J. Alford presented to the college the church building, formerly the property of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. This building was given by the donor as a memorial to his parents, the late Rev. John Alford, I). D., and Mrs. Mary B. Alford. The donor of our gymnasium must have realized that college students loved athletics. Many a time have the walls of the old gym- nasium rung with the shouts and screams of the students, as they forgot their classroom cares for a few hours.

1920 THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY fOlNE of the greatest assets of any college is a library. The fac- liwflijwi ulty of Cedarville College soon realized this and sc Di. McChes ney made an appeal for contributions for a library. Twelve hundred volumes were donated and some of the leading periodicals were provided lor the reading tables. For several years the chemistry reci- tation room was used for a library and managed by faculty and students. In 1905, Andrew Carnegie donated twelve thousand dollars on con- dition that a like amount be added to college endowment fund. This con- dition was met within one year and the present building was completed in 1908. Arrangements were made with the township for a union library and it contains the modern library equipment with a capacity for seventeen thousand volumes. New books are being added every year and this year several more periodicals were added to the reading tables. 8
