The task has been diflicult and progress has been slow, but il lias been sure and certain and far-reaching in its effect. Gradually, the college has been built up until the present day. Our President, Or. McChesney, came to bis ministry in this great undertaking in 1891 as Peter Gibson Professor of Green and Latin. Me has served in practically all phases of the work—as Professor, Registrar, Dean, Vice-President, and since 1915 he has been the Chief-Executive- having served twelve years as President over an ever-growing Student Body and Faculty. First Among Dr. McChesncy’s helpers and co-workers is Dr. Jurkat, who entered upon his career in the life of C. C. in 1895. He, too, has served in many capacities. He is now Treasurer of the college and Professor of History and German. Dean Robison came in 1922 as Harper Professor of Bible and Soci- ology. The next year he was appointed Dean, in which capacity he continues to serve. Professor Fraser also came the same year as Head of the Depart- ment of Science. The work of this department comprises the studies of Botany, Biology, Chemistry, and Zoology. Professor Fraser regularly has several assistants. In 1921 Dr. Talcott began his work as Head of the Department of Music and Director of Music in the college. This department was re- cently opened to students outside of the college. Professor Smith came also in 1921 and is Professor of Knglisli and Head of the Department of Education. Miss Dolby began her service in C. C. in 1925 as Professor of English and French and Dean of Women. The following year she was appointed Head of the Department of English. The same year, 1925, Miss Lieving came to C. C. as Secretary to the President, Registrar, and Head of the Department of French. In 192(5 Professor Borst took up his work as Coach of Athletics. Phys- ical Director, and Professor of Mathematics and Political Science. Miss Howland came to C. C. in 192(5 as Director of Greene County Normal. Due to her wide experience in the field of Education, Miss Howland has proved to be of much value to the college bv assisting in the Department of Education. Rev. S. M. Ingmire was added to the faculty at the beginning of the present year and has taught a class in Archaeology most acceptably. Cedarvillc College is growing -surely, rapidly, widely. The endow- ment is increasing annually, the college is ably equipped, and is meeting all the requirements of the Department of Education of the State of Ohio and the Student Body is ever growing in numbers and in quality. C. C. is mounting the ladder, taking her place among the more important and higher-ranking colleges of the country. She is, indeed, mounting— higher and higher. Then, how can we but dare call to our co-workers, our students, alumni, and friends “Excelsior! t'pward! Kvcronward! —Y. L.
