25 yeaM j leadeAAitip, The president of a small college has per- haps a greater and harder job than would be his in a large university. He is more than administrator of the institution — he is the friend, advisor and confidant of all the students. It is their privilege to know him on a friendly basis. It is his duty to counsel with them in important and trivial matters and to maintain the standards of their college through self-sacrifice and com- plete devotion. Only twice in the history of Cedarvillc College have its students found it necessary to bid farewell to an out-going president. At this the second time. Dr. W. R. McChes- ney is retiring from the office in which for twenty-five years, he has admirably ful- filled the above requirements. We. the students, know him as a kindly philosopher, astute politician, teacher, preacher, orator and friend To him we attribute much of the success of Ccdarville College—its pur- pose, its spirit, its ideals. We are happy that Dr. “Mac” will remain with us as a member of the faculty. We take this op- portunity to express our gratitude for his loyalty, service, and inspiration to us and to Cedarville College. To Dr. W. R. McChesney we dedicate this book and......................

 7 Wansn Welcome 7a . . . . to Walter S. Kilpatrick, our new president. We who are students this year have been privileged to witness another rare event — the inauguration of a president of Cedarville College. Always, when someone steps from the niche he has filled for a long time, the question arises, Who will take his place — how can things go on?” But things do go on. Someone steps into the vacancy, and the machinery runs on smooth- ly. To this able young man — our Pat — falls the task of filling the presidential shoes, and we have every reason to expect his success. With an enviable scholastic record, Mr. Kilpatrick was graduated from Cedarville College in 1934. Since that time he has studied in Basel. Switzerland; Western Theological Seminary; the University of Pittsburgh; and Westminster College. Cam- bridge. England. In 1937 he was ordained a minister of the Presbyterian Church. Likeable, capable, endowed with a sense of humor —that’s our “Pat.” We welcome him to the presidency of Cedarville College and wish for him great happiness and suc- cess in the years to come. To Dr. McChesney in appreciation, and to Mr. Kilpatrick in expectation, this 1941 edition of the Cedrus is dedicated. Paije Fourteen
