As the Baptists developed the college, their emphasis was national, not local. A second complicating factor was the denominational change. Cedarville was the home of two Presbyterian churches, and their denomination was genuinely important to them. While they were happy to see the school continue, it was natural that they would have preferred to see it continue as a Presbyterian institution. Though there were many similarities between the Baptists and the Presbyterians, the Baptists were not always careful to develop the doctrinal links that existed between the two bodies. The Presbyterians, on the other hand, had to adjust to the loss of "their" school. A third complicating factor was the emphasis of the new Baptist student body, though in many respects this was merely a return to the traditional emphasis of the Reformed Presbyterians. The Baptist students were characterized by an intense evangelistic fervor and missionary zeal which some in the community felt was excessive.
