History & Purpose During the past fifty-tnree years Cedarville College has drawn to its halls students from all parts of the world. Its influence has become widespread especially in the fields of education and religion by many of its graduates. Now operated independently, Cedarville College was originally conceived and founded by the Reformed Presbyterian Church. In 1887 that group obtained a charter from the State of Ohio for the college. The first session opened September 19, 1894. The Theological Seminary of the Reformed Presbyterian Church was moved to Cedarville in 1913 and continues to operate in close cooperation with the college. In 1928 the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church unanimously voted to transfer “all control, ownership, title and vested property rights of the Cedarville College* to the Board of Trustees of the College, “and their successors forever.* Since 1928, the Board, a majority of whom must be members of the Presbyterian Church, have operated the college. Cedarville has always operated on the missionary motive, that its greatest service to Christian society is in the training.of young people through the development of their abilities and characters. It is the purpose of Cedarville College to train students to think clearly and express themselves with Christian conviction about the present day problems. But the perspective for such thinking and expression must come from a wide knowledge of the philosophical, the aesthetic, the scientific, and the spiritual achievements of the past. It is the purpose of Cedarville College so to relate the past to the present that her students may become more competent bread winners; more worthy members of family units; more useful citizens; and more devout Christians. Recognition By its charter, issued under the laws of the State of Ohio, January 12, 1887, Cedarville College is recognized as a degree granting institution. On April 16, 1915 the State Department of Education recognized Cedarville College as an institution for the professional training of teachers. It is a member of the American Association of Colleges, Commission of Church - Related Colleges. Cedarville College is also working toward accreditation by the American Association of Teacher’ s Colleges. 6

Student Life Student Government.—All student activities are carried on under student leadership and planning with the advice of the Dean of the college. The Student Council is composed of an elected representative from each of the four classes together with the four class vice-presidents and a student council president elected from the student body by popular vote. Functions of the student council include planning for supervised assemblies, assisting in organizing a social calendar and presenting student problems to the administration. Election to this group is considered to be a distinct honor. Musical Organizations.—Musical activities are varied and many at Cedarville College. The college music department sponsors a choral society that performs at various school functions throughout the year. Students are encouraged to take part in trios, quartets and other musical groups. A band was organized last year which plays for sports events and special occasions. The Cedarville College Eight Plus is another musical and dramatic group with a varied program which is presented before high school assemblies and alumni groups. Dramatics.—Efforts along the Thespian line are directed toward the Dramatics Club. Besides offering plays for special occasions the club annually presents some Broadway success. “Dear Ruth” was the major offering for 1948-49. Students interested in dramatics are urged to participate in the club for the training they receive as members. Fraternities and Sororities.—Cedarville College believes in the high purposes and function of fraternities and sororities. Very definite rules regarding scholarship of members, pledging procedure, social functions and conduct of the Greek letter organizations have been set up and are enforced by the faculty. Each organization has a faculty sponsor. One national and two local Greek letter organizations are maintained at Cedarville. Kappa Sigma Kappa, a national fraternity with some 20 chapters in colleges all over the United States maintains a chapter at Cedarville College designated as the Upsilon chapter. This fraternity was originated in 1867. The local chapter received its charter in May 1948. It is a very active group, meeting one evening a week with an extensive program in operation. Chi Mu Delta, a local fraternity, was founded at Cedarville in 1946. It is the oldest fraternity on the campus. Meetings are held in Recreation hall one evening a week. Chi Mu Delta sponsors social events during the year including an annual Halloween Benefit carnival and a Spring Formal Dance. Chi Sigma Phi, a local sorority was organized in 1947. Besides holding meetings every two weeks the sorority sponsors social events during the college year which are well received. Social Organizations.—Social events are under the direct supervision of a faculty committee. A social calendar is set up for the year with each organization given equal opportunity for planning their events. Class parties, informal and formal dances together with other activities constitute this phase of college life. Students are encouraged to also take part in the social events of Cedarville’ s many church sponsored young people’ s groups. 10
Publications.—All of the various publications sponsored by Cedarville College are regulated by a student-faculty committee. This group is responsible for general college publicity also under the direct supervision of a faculty member. “The Whispering Cedars,” a semi-monthly publication, is edited and published by the students for the students. The cost of the paper is nominal. It carries general items of interest together with society, class, extra-curricular and sports news. “The Cedarville College Bulletin” issued periodically from the business office, carries news of Cedarville’ s work to a large mailing list of alumni and friends throughout the country. The bulletin is edited and published by the Director of Publicity together with the help of students who are journalistically inclined. “The Cedrus,” which is the college yearbook, crystallizes each year’ s activities into permanent literary and pictorial form. It serves as a permanent reminder to the student of the events that are crowded in the school year. SPECIAL OCCASIONS Homecoming.—Cedarville College Homecoming is observed three times during the school year. In the fall, homecoming consists of a bonfire and pep rally on Friday evening; alumni meetings and class reunions on Saturday morning; a football game with some traditional rival in the afternoon winding up with the traditional dinner served by the Ladies Advisory Board in the evening. A short informal program follows the banquet. A studentalumni dance is also a Saturday evening feature. An appropriate conclusion takes place Sundaymorning with a student-alumni worship service at 11 P.M. featuring some prominent alumnus as speaker. A winter homecoming centering around basketball with a program similar to the fall homecoming event takes place in February. Cedar Day in the spring also serves as a homecoming event.' The program for this occasion appears in detail elsewhere in the bulletin. All the homecoming occasions are publicized through the college publications and leading Ohio news papers. An increasing number of students, faculty members, alumni and friends of the college gather for these occasions each year. Cedar Day.—A highlight of the college year is the annual observance of Cedar Day. Class stunts, songs and folk dances constitute the morning program. The Cedar Day Queen and the Orator selected from the student body reign over the Cedar Day activities. In the afternoon athletic events dominant the program. A baseball game with some nearby rival is a feature with a track meet and tennis match if these last two events are possible to schedule. The activities are planned jointly by a faculty-student committee. Commencement.—Commencement exercises climax the year’ s work. This is, of course, made the crowning day of the school year, with the awarding of degrees and academic honors for the year. A prominent guest is the Commencement speaker. RELIGIOUS LIFE Chapel.—Students and faculty participate in religious exercises in the College chapel regularly. Students are expected to attend. A sincere effort is made to keep the Chapel services closely related to 11
student life. The college chaplain conducts the worship portion of the chapel service. Ministers from nearby churches of various denominations and faiths are invited to speak in the chapel exercises. One of the highlights of the 1948 school year during the first semester was the Religious Emphasis Week. Rev. Edwin Fairman of the Oxford, Ohio United Presbyterian Church, a noted youth worker and wartime chaplain was the speaker. During this week an outstanding religious leader is secured to speak in the daily chapel services as well as evening services. The chapel committee also attempts to bring men who are outstanding in many fields to share their experiences with the students and faculty of Cedarville College. Wayne Hansen world travelor and Harold Bowers, director of teacher certification in Ohio were among the chapel speakers of 1948. Both faculty and student members serve on the chapel committee and the various organizations present chapel programs each semester. The following regulations govern attendance. 1. Attendance as assembly on Mondays and chapel on Wednesdays will be required. 2. Assembly will be under the direction of the student council. Chapel will be religious in nature. 3. Students who are in regular attendance at assembly and chapel (with not more than four absences per semester without valid excuse) will receive one-half hour credit per semester. 4. One hour chapel credit per resident year will be required of all candidates for degrees, diplomas, or certificates for teaching. If upon application for such degree, diploma or certificate a student has failed to attend chapel in any semester he will be required to make up that deficit by one hour extra work. 5. Any student who does not plan to graduate from Cedarville College but expects to transfer and who fails to attend the required chapel and assembly shall have a note attached to his transcript - “ The student failed to cooperate in college activities.” Churches.—There are five churches in Cedarville; Methodist, United Presbyterian, and Presbyterian, Church of God, Nazarene. Students remaining in town weekends are encouraged to attend the church of their preference. These churches and others in the community welcome college students to all of their Sunday and week day activities. A Roman Catholic Church is located in Xenia. Young Men’ s Christian Association.—The Young Men’ s Christian Association of Cedarville College represents on the local campus the social and spiritual program of this international organization. Young Women’ s Christian Association.—The Young Women’ s Christian Association of Cedarville College maintains all of the characteristic activities which have made this organization such a power for good among the college girls of America. Day of Prayer.—Recognizing the value of prayer in a well-rounded Christian life, "Cedarville College seeks to develop the prayer life of its students. The Annual Day of Prayer for Colleges and Schools is a very great factor in the development of this Christian principle. 12

Caravaners.—The Caravaners are young men and women who present religious services in churches in central Ohio. During 1947 the Caravaners became one of the most active of the student organizations. ATHLETICS The college views, health, physical efficiency and recreational activities among the several objectives of higher education. It has therefore made provisions for physical education and athletic activities. Treatment of minor injuries both athletic and general are handled in a well equipped training room in Alford Memorial Gymnasium. Physical education is required of all students during their freshmen and sophomore years, unless specifically excused by the faculty or by the recommendation of a physician. Activities in these classes are confined to calisthenics, group games, relays and related work. Ample facilities have been provided for athletics including all the indoor and outdoor sports for both men and women. Alford Memorial Gymnasium houses the indoor sports. The College Field contains a regular gridiron around which a 1/4 mile track is proposed. An excellent baseball diamond provides ample playing area for this popular spring sport. Adjacent to the Gym is the women’ s athletic field and the community roque court, one of the finest of its kind. Cedarville College maintains intercollegiate athletic competition in football, basketball, baseball and track. Intramural programs are carried on in these activities together with volleyball, horseshoes, ping-pong, tennis and roque. Cedarville College is a member of the Mid-Ohio Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball. Athletics relations are carried on with the leading colleges in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Indiana. RULES AND REGULATIONS Supervision of Women.—As far as space permits, all women students rooming in Cedarville during the school year are expected to live in Harriman Hall. If accommodations are not available for all at Harriman Hall, the Dean of Women will assist women students to find rooms in carefully approved private homes. The Housemothers, both in the Dormitory and in private homes where women students may be rooming, cooperate with the Dean in seeing that rules are observed. In the Dormitory, a house-president and a student-government committee assist the Dean and the Housemother. Women students are expected to be in by nine-thirty o’ clock P. M. except on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, when they must be in by ten-thirty. With the written permission of the Dean upper classmen may be out later on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday night; Freshmen on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. Other rules affecting students of the College are similar to those in force at the majority of Christian colleges. An advisory system by which each student is encouraged to regard some member of the faculty as his special advisor has recently been inaugurated. This is of benefit, of course, in all aspects of college life and development, and only incidentally as regards the rules for students. 14
COURSE NUMBERS, GRADING AND CREDITS In all courses students are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols: A, denoting excellent; B, denoting good; C, denoting fair; D, denoting passing; and F, denoting failure. The comparative merit of tests, examinations and all other exercises, and the final standing of the student in any course, are indicated by the use of the same symbols. Course Numbering System.—Each course offered at Cedarville College is given a number. The purpose of the number is to index the course in the college filing system and also to use on transcripts. Courses below 100 are non-college credit courses. 100 to 200 courses are college credit open to freshmen; 200 to 300 are sophomore courses; 300 to 400 are junior courses; 400 and above are senior level courses. Courses ending in 0 are offered or can be taken both semesters. Courses ending in an odd number are offered the first semester and those ending in an even number are offered the second semester. Cedarville College reserves the right to offer or withhold any of its listed courses. Semester-Hour.—In all of the courses, credit is counted by the “semesterhour.” A “credit” or “semester-hour” is one recitation, lecture, or laboratory period a week for one semester. As an illustration a student completing the work required in fifteen such periods a week for one semester receives credit for fifteen semester-hours. Required Merit Points.—In every course in the collegiate department as many merit points are required for graduation as credits of semester-hours. For grade “A” , three points for each credit are awarded; for grade “B” two points; for grade “C” one point; for grade “D” no points. A minimum of 124 merit points is required for graduation from a degree course. It is evident that an average grade of “C” is necessary for graduation. By the use of points a student may readily determine the quality of progress he is making in his course. Commencement Honors.—A student who wins eighty per cent of the maximum number of merit points obtainable in his course will be graduated cum laude, “with praise;* one who wins ninety per cent of the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated magna cum laude, “with great praise,” and one who wins the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated summa cum laude, “with the highest praise.” Cedarville College Crown Club.—In 1920 anhonor society, called theCedarville College Crown Club, was established, to which members are elected by the faculty on the basis of excellence in scholarship. (1) A Junior or Senior who for two semesters, not necessarily consecutive, has acquired a grade of A in all of his studies may be elected to membership in this society. (2) One who in four semesters has obtained not more than one grade of B in each semester, all other grades being A, may be elected to membership. (3) A student may be elected to membership upon graduation after a full four-year course, provided he has no grade below B and three-fourths of his grades are A. (4) Students who have taken part of their college course in other institutions are eligible to the society by either of the first two standards given above, but not by the third. 15
Upon election to this society the student is presented with a gold pin in the design of a crown similar to that in the seal of the College, and bearing the letters C .C .C .C . CONTESTS AND PRIZES John Alford Prizes.—These prizes, established by the Rev. John Alford, D. D., a distinguished minister of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, and a trustee of Cedarville College, are now continued in his memory by his daughter, Miss Martha Alford. The prizes are used for the purchase of Crown Club pins, and they are awarded annually through the Cedarville College Crown Club for the attainment of high scholarship.
