1991-1992 Cedarville College Annual Report

college family this year, I see the Lord's continuing provision of men and women who combine academic excellence, professional expertise, and spiritual commitment. Above all, I thank God for the students. We have some of the sharpest young people in the country on our campus! The 593 freshmen who joined us this fall are exceptional. One of every ten was valedictorian of his or her high school class. And I can recite story after story about people who call or write to thank me for the conduct of our students and their impact on our community. All the people in the Cedarville College family contribute to the culture on our campus- an environment that builds character. In fact, the Templeton Foundation has listed Cedarville on its Honor Roll of Character Building Colleges. This moral education adds value to every student's course of study. When I meet with our alumni, I ask what they appreciate about their college experience. They consistently mention the spiritual impact made by chapel services, Bible courses, classroom instruction in ethics, and the examples of integrity they observed in the administration, faculty, and staff. We owe it to our students- and our mission-to build our College family with people of integrity. Avisitor who came for the opening of our new Engineering/ Nursing/Science Center said to me, "Why didn't I get involved with Cedarville College 25 years ago? These students are fantastic!" I agree. As you read through the rest of this report, I hope you will keep in mind that our mission focuses on students. Your prayers and your support build into the lives of these wonderful young people who will carry out God's mission for them into the 21st century. ~~~ Paul Dixon January 1993
