To establish the student in the fundamentals of the Chris - tian faith, to lead him into a continuing, progressive experience of spiritual victory and to a practical expres - sion of the Christian life in ethical behavior by the enab– ling of the Holy Spirit. 3. To help him accept his responsibility of leading others to Christ and into faithful Christian service in a local church where Biblical truth is intelligently propagated. 4. To give the student experiences which will enable him to solve problem situations through the skillful discovery, formulation, evaluation, and application of facts, concepts and principles in the light of Scriptural truths and pre– cepts. 5. To familiarize the student with various fields of knowledge demanding competency in a few and proficiency in at least one, and to assist in the choice and preparation for a given profession or vocation. 6. To develop the understandings, attitudes, and habits nec– essary for him to participate constructively in the social and civic life of the community, the state, and the nation. 7, To develop within the student a desire for healthful living and mutual cooperation through instruction and partici– pation in wholesome physical activities. Since Cedarville College is the only college of arts and sci– ences officially approved by the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, its students are drawn primarily from Regular Baptist Churches in many parts of the United States. However, the college includes eligible young people from other churches in its student body. 11 12 . lZceda.rville College Catalog, (Cedarville College, 1960 ), Vol. 42, No. 6, p. 8.
