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.

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.
