The History and Operation of Cedarville College

47 have noted above, finances are essential to meet the standards set by the Association. Money purchases equipment, hires good teachers, buys library books and gives stability to any institution, and the accrediting society requires that the institution which they recognize should have stability. Though all of us are encouraged by the growth of the college, we are by no means satisfied with what has been accomplished. There is much more to be done. We intend to go forward in an attempt to do much, much more of the same type of work which we have started and carried on thus far. The trustees of the college are vitally interested in improving the physical facilities of the campus. Within the next five years new buildings will be added and new equipment will be purchased if the present goals are carried out. As soon as we can meet the requirements we are hopeful of being accepted as a member of the Ohio College Association. A self– study is now being conducted by the faculty with this objective in mind. Eventually we hope to be accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
