God Gave the Increase

Cedarville College has a good heritage. It was founded by Christian people who had a vital interest in the spiritual welfare of their young people. The present administration of the college recognizes with gratitude the sacrifice of all who have lived and served so well before us. Our heritage bears out the scriptural principle that no one person can take the credit for success in the service of the Lord. Paul confessed this when he said: "I have planted, Apollus watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase" (I Cor. 3:6, 7). The pages which follow have been prepared to show our readers what has been accomplished on the campus of Cedarville College during the past seventy-five years. We have never been a large college, but a number of our grad– uates have gone out into the world to serve commendably. Knowledge of their success makes all the "planting" and "watering" worthwhile. May this record of Cedarville's past be an encourage– ment to her friends in the present to plan and pray for a better and larger college in the future "for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ." Sincerely in Christ, President
