A Charge to Keep

HELP ME TO WATCH AND PRAY And on Thy grace rely CEDARVILLE IS YOUR COLLEGE Cedarville College was raised up of the Lord to meet the need of our churches. At Cedarville your young people receive thorough academic training in the arts and sciences in a conservative evangelical environ– ment. We feel that it is not only the college's responsi– bility to provide an education equal to other colleges but to help our students mature spiritually, find God's will for their lives, and return to their local churches to be effective witnesses for Christ in their chosen profes– sions. A Christ-centered curriculum, daily chapel services, missionary conferences, Bible lectures, and assigned Christian service activities are combined with the students' academic pursuits to make them "throughly furnished unto all good works. 11 CEDARVILLE TRAINS YOUR YOUNG PEOPLE Of our present student body of 763, there are 674 young people who come from independent Baptist churches. Every student must be a born-again Christian and be committed to living a separated life as indica t e d by his personal testimony. Many of the young people from our churches are going to attend liberal arts colleges. Some of them return to their local churches antagonistic toward our conservative convictions. We believe that the Lord would have us e xpand our campus so that we might provide training for the increasing number of young people s e eking admission from our churches. IS CEDARVILLE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY? Today, no student pays for the entire cost of his education. Therefore, part of the expense of the school has to be supplied by churches and interested friends of the college. We are without apology a Baptist college of arts and sciences that exists to train young people from our churches with the finest academic education in an atmo– sphere of high spiritual standards. We believe our churches want a fully accredited liberal arts college, and we are on the threshold of ·achieving this goal. But it will cost considerably. A college with our convictions cannot expect the same help from foundations, businesses, government, etc., that other colleges enjoy. Therefore, the burden lies upon us. Are we willing to pay the price? 'S8 '62 763 a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . f 9J,8Ci,l.10 • : . . . . . : . . '65 --- I I I I I I I I I I
