192 1 DR. McCHESNEY AS A TEACHER FROM A STUDENT’S VIEWPOINT IIK history of Dr. McChesney as a teacher is practically the history ; of Cedarville College. Dr. McChesney has done very little teaching outside of Cedarville College. Mis first experience at teaching was at Franklin College. There he was Professor of Latin and Greek from 1890 to 1894. In 1894 he came to Cedarville College as Instructor in Greek. Since then he has risen to the Presidency of Cedarville College and to the position of Dean of the Reformed Presbyterian Seminary. Wooster Col- lege has claimed our “proxy” for several summers, teaching Latin and Psy- chology. His life has therefore been that of the College. It has been through his efforts that the college has prospered and he has great plans and aspirations for the future. Cedarville College has not been the only school to seek the services of our distinguished orator and psychologist, lie has received many offers to leave oui institution and give instruction in other schools; such schools as Parsons College, Iowa; Baldwin University, Kansas; and Wooster Col- lege, Ohio. In the classroom we find him a perfect logician, presenting in a pleas- ant and yet persuasive manner the problems and facts of the subjects he teaches. No subject is too deep but what he can find in it some thought, some use or principle which can be adequately presented to his students. A student can enter his classes with but a vague conception of the truth of his lesson, yet before he leaves the room he knows that truth and can explain it in all its many details. One of his favorite methods of teaching is to illustrate a subject. His illustrations are to the point and very often drive home a moral axiom or rule to aid in the student’s Christian life. He never lets an opportunity pass in class, or out of class, to build up the faith of all in the principles of Jesus Christ. Outside of class he is noted for his being a friend to all, assisting and helping, scholastically and other- wise. From his keen, well trained psychological, yet ethical and practical mind, the student receives much help and advice. Dr. McChesney loves his work and his students, and he receives his best wage in that they love and appreciate his worth. N. H. T. U
