"Another important event was the acquisition of a home for the college by the purchase of a magnificent private residence on West Sixth street, Cincinnati, at the price of $25,250, which, with the cost of the necessary alterations, was increased to about $30,000. The dedication of the building took place with great solemnity April 24, 1881, the governor of Ohio and the dean of Cincinnati University assisting. A room in the college was furnished as a chapel by Mrs. Nannie Fechheimer, and since December 17, 1882, religious services have been held every Sabbath afternoon in the chapel, at which the students alternately read the prayers and preach".
