EARLY HISTORY OF CEDARVILLE The idea of establishing an institution for higher education in Cedarville originated with the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in America, a denomination representative in this country of the historic Covenanter Church of Scotland. Dr. Hugh Mac- Millan, for many years pastor of the Cedarville congregation, manifested a warm interest in the cause of higher education, and was the principal of a classical academy in Greene County, which he conducted successfully in addition to his pastoral labors. In January. 1887. Cedarville College was duly chartered by the state of Ohio. The enterprise then slumbered for a few years for various reasons, but in May, 1894, a fresh and most successful start was again made. The General Synod elected Rev. David McKinney of Cincinnati. Ohio, president of the college, and directed the Board of Trustees to open the college in the autumn of the same year. The Board accordingly chose a faculty, and on Wednesday. Sep- tember 19, 1894, the college was formally opened, conducting classes in the historic building pictured above. Pago tlevon
