General Information INTRODUCTION CEDARVILLE COLLEGE is located in a rural community, yet has the ad, vantage of being within easy driving distance of the cities of central and southwestern Ohio. Cedarville is in Greene County, Ohio, forty,six miles southwest of Columbus and sixty miles northeast of Cincinnati; it is twenty-two miles from Dayton, eleven from Springfield and eight from Xenia; bus lines between these cities follow routes 42 and 72 through the town. Cedarville College was established in 1894 as a liberal arts insti, tution; it grants the degree of Bachelor of Arts, of Bachelor of Science, and of Bachelor of Science in Education; and offers pre-professional curricula in a wide variety of fields. Cedarville College is approved by the Veterans' Administration for the education of World War II veterans under The Rehabilitation Act of 1944 (The G. I. Bill of Public Law 346) and the Vocational Rehabili, tation Act (Public Law 16) . 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 Cedar, ville 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. HISTORY CEDARVILLE COLLEGE was originally conceived and founded by The Re, formed Presbyterian Church. In 1889 that group obtained a charter from the State of Ohio for the college. The first session opened September 9, 1894; that year thirty-six students enrolled, and classes were conducted in a rented house, formerly owned by The Reverend Hugh MacMillan, who had conducted an academy there in the middle years of the 19th century. Among the faculty members that first year was W. R. Mc, Chesney, later the president of the college. In another year the first college ,building, "Old Main", had been completed, and from 1895 classes have been conducted there. The Theological Seminary of the Reformed Presbyterian Church was moved to Cedarville in 1913, and continues to operate in close co, operation with the college. 6
GENERAL [NFORMA'fION 7 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.,, Despite the severance of The College from The Reformed Presby, terian Church, Covenanter character continues to make its influence felt. On the college seal is still the Covenanter motto: 'Pro corona et foedere Christi'-'For the crown and covenant of Christ'. And something of its founders' toughness of moral fibre inheres in the Cedarville College at, titude toward life and learning. The essential quality of the Cedarville spirit is an inheritance from them, compounded of their competence in practical affairs, their intellectual discipline and intellectual integrity, their rectitude and their faith in God. OBJECTIVES THE OBJECTIVES of Cedarville College, like those of other liberal arts colleges, are to teach young people to earn their livings, and to educate them to live. Cedarville College believes that the student must be trained to take his place as a participant in the modern world, as educator, as busines.s or professional man, as minister or politician- not only that he may provide for his family, but also that he may become a leader in his community. Cedarville College believes that a liberal arts education includes study of the humanities. All that has come down to us from remote ages through eras of change and progress-the heritage of information about the works and the spirit of man- must be known to be cocrelated with the world we live in, the deeds of contemporary man, and his potentiali, ties. In the humanities--in philosophy, literature, art, music and history– are to be found the most eloquent testimony of the dignity of man and the invincibility of his spirit. Cedarville College believes that education must also include a study of science. There must be, in the minds of leaders and teachers of others, , knowledge enough to use wisely the power that science bestows on man, kind, and training enough in scientific method to enable the student to distinguish between what is true and what is false, to know what science is, and what it can and cannot do. Most important, Cedarville College holds fast to the faith that re, ligion is the cornerstone of a man's life, and that a study of Christian beliefs and Christian ethics is a necessary part of education. Cedarville College students are taught that 'Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it'. If Cedarville College accomplishes its objectives, even imperfectly,
8 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE its students achieve in their years of study not only book knowledge, but enrichment and release of personality, and courage, faith and a positive approach to the unforeseeable contingencies of the present and the future. FACILITIES Campus. Cedarville College lies within the limits of the village of Cedarville. The campus itself is extensive, part of it the gift of friends like the late W. J. Alford, Sr. On its southern edge, west of the Recre, ation Hall, is the baseball diamond, and close to the northern limit, the football field. The southeast corner of the campus is richly wooded with deciduous trees: maples, a buckeye, a linden, and with evergreens. The drive is lined with maples and the formal walk bordered with arbor vitae; a group of spruce trees stands before the Science Hall and in the open meadow to the west, and solitary maples, ash and elm here and there spread wide branches in full sun. These trees, the chief beauty of the campus, were the gift of the late Whitelaw Reid, who never forgot that Cedarville was ··home". College Hall. ·'Old Main", built in 1895, is the oldest and the or– iginal college building. It has the spaciousness of a bygone day, when building costs were lower, but it has been completely modernized and rewired, and fluorescent lighting has been installed. On its first floor are the administrative offices and an assembly room; on the second and third floors are classrooms. Science Hall. Erected in 1922, Science Hall contains facilities for the physical sciences: classrooms and the chemical and physical labora, tories; other classrooms and the workroom of the art-education classes. Biological Laboratories. The new science building, materials for which were given to the college by the government, was put up by the student themselves, except for the electrical wiring, the installation of the furnace, and the roofing. The purpose of the gift was to provide storage for the surplus radio and electronic equipment, provided by the government for the use of the Physics Department. The building is large enough to house also the Biology Department: a large classroom with modem equipment, begin, ning and advanced laboratory rooms, and the department office. The laboratories are furnished with the latest equipment, including ample pre, served and demonstration materials, visual aids such as charts and models, adequate miscroscopic apparatus with complete slide series for the cur, riculum offered, sufficient reagents, and facilities for living plants and animals. Alford Memorial Gymnasium. The gymnasium was presented to the college by W. J. Alford in memory of his father and mother, Dr. and ·Mrs. John Alford of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. The building itself is
GENERAL IN.FORMATION. 9 the oldest and has the most interesting history of any now a part of Cedar· ville College. It was originally the Reformed Presbyterian Church, where the founding families of Cedarville township worshiped, and the period of its building is proclaimed by its Greek Revival architecture, the cornice and the square pilasters of its facade. Tradition says that Whitelaw Reid was baptized in this church. When the new Reformed Presbyterian church was built, Mr. Alford purchased the old one as a gift to the college, and contributed the money for its conversion into a gymnasium. Now much enlarged, it contains a basketball floor, which is used for college dances when the playing season is over, and for Homecoming and Alumni banquets. The floor has tiers of wide bleacher space on each side, and at one end a stage, used during school hours as a physical education classroom. There are also locker rooms, a training room, and offices for the men's and women's Directors of Physical Education. Carnegie Library. The library building was the gift of the late An, drew Carnegie. By an arrangement made several years ago, the College Library became a part of the Greene County Library System, so that faculty and students have full access to about one hundred and fifty periodicals and of the 34,000 books which are in Xenia and will be sent to Cedarville on request. Permanently shelved in the Cedarville Library are over 7,000 volumes, including specialized collections built up over the years by the College. During the past twelve months the facilities of the library have been improved materially. Harriman Hall. The residence hall for women, which has room for sixteen girls, was given to the college by a friend and member of the congregation of the late W . P. Harriman, who had at one time been the minister of the Presbyterian Church in Cedarville, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the College. The hall was named in honor and memory of him. The girls' rooms, on the second floor, are comfort· ably furnished; on the first floor, in addition to a faculty apartment, is a large parlor, with piano, for the girls' use in entertaining themselves and their callers. In the basement are laundry facilities. Rife Hall . The Rife homestead, just north of what used to be the campus boundary, was presented to the college after her mother's death by Miss Carrie Rife (Mrs. R. A. Jamieson). Miss Rife taught at the college until her marriage, and her family have attended and been friends of Cedarville for many years. The hall was named in her and their honor. The first floor is a faculty apartment, and the second floor is a men's dormitory, with rooms for fifteen. Men's Dormitory. The "Barracks" is so nicknamed because the Federal Government gave it to the College after the end of World W ar II. Brought to Cedarville and re-erected near Rife Hall, it is now a men's dormitory which accommodates about seventy m n students.
10 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Recreation Hall. The "Rec Building" was also given to the college by the government at the close of the war, and was rebuilt on the campus close to College Hall, where it can be used between classes as lounge, study, game-room and general meeting place. Here faculty and students come for eleven o'clock coffee; here student organizations meet in the evenings and informal parties are held, and here the television set is a center of attraction at all times. Recreation Hall also houses the College Co-op where students may purchase school supplies and such necessities as Freshmen caps. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Student Government. All student activities are carried on under student leadership and planning with the advice of elected faculty repre, sentatives. The Student Council is composed of an elected representative from each of the four classes, and a student council president elected from the study body by popular vote. The Student Council is responsible, under the supervision of the administration, for student discipline. It is represented on the social committee and assists in the planning of a social calendar for the year. When the student body has suggestions or re, quests to make, or protests or objections to present, for administrative judgment or faculty action, it is represented by the Student Council. Election to this group is considered a distinct honor, and the president is recognized as the leader of the student body. Musical Organizations. Musical activities are varied and many at Cedarville College. The college music department sponsors a choral so, ciety that performs at various school functions throughout the year. Students are encouraged to take part in trios, quartets and other musical groups. Dramatics. All students of acceptable academic standing are invited to become members of the Dramatics Club. Participation in its activities provides opportunities for developing their abilities not only to students who like acting, but also to those who enjoy a "back-stage" atmosphere enough to work on lights, scene painting and costuming. Short plays are presented at the College at intervals during the year. Fraternities and Sororities. Cedarville College believes in the high purposes and functions of fraternities and sororities. Very definite rules regarding the scholarship of members, pledging procedure, the regulation of social functions, which come under the jurisdiction of the social com, mittee, and the conduct of the Greek letter organizations have been set up and are enforced by the faculty. There is one local Greek letter or, ganization and a chapter of a national fraternity at Cedarville. Social Calendar. Social events are planned and placed on the calendar ~y the Social Committee, which is composed of representatives of the Student Council, class presidents, and the members of the faculty Social
GENERAL INFORMATION 11 Committee. Requests for dates are handed to this committee by the vari, ous organizations, and class parties, informal and formal dances, dramatic events, pep rallies are scheduled so as not to interfere with each other and so as to be evenly spaced throughout a semester. Students are also encouraged to take part in the social events of Cedarville's church-sponsored young people's groups. Publications. The undergraduate publications sponsored by Cedar, ville College are written by students under the supervision of a Director of Publicity. "The Whispering Cedars", a semi,monthly publication, is written and edited by the students for the students. This college newspaper in, eludes general items of interest, society, class, extra,curricular and sports news, student editorials and 'letters to the editor'. "The Cedarville College Bulletin", issued periodically, carries news of Cedarville's work to a large mailing list of alumni and friends through, out 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 per, manent reminder to the student of the events that are crowded into the school year, and of the day,to,day activities that seem unimportant but are pleasant to remember. ATHLETICS THE COLLEGE includes health, physical efficiency and recreational activi, ties among the several objectives of higher education. It has therefore made provisions for physical education and athletic activities. Physical Education is required of all students during their freshman and sophomore years, unless a student is specifically excused by the faculty or on recommendation of a physician. Activities in these classes are con, :fined 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 regu, lar 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 com, munity roque court, one of the finest of its kind. Cedarville College maintains intercollegiate athletics competition in football, basketball, baseball, track and tennis. Intramural programs are carried on in these activities and in volleyball, ping,pong, tennis, and roque. edarville College is a member of the Mid,Ohio Intercollegiate
12 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Athletic Conference and the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball. Athletic relations are carried on with the leading colleges in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. 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 Dormi, tory and in private homes where women students may be rooming, co, operate with the Dean of Women 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 night when they must be in by ten-thirty. With the written permission of the Dean upperclassmen may be out later on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, Freshmen on Thursday, Friday and Satur, day nights. 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 develooment, and only incidentally as regards the rules for students. RELIGIOUS LIFE Convocation. Once a week the entire student body and faculty attend convocation. The series of meetings include a variety of activities: speeches by representatives of different fields, musical programs, one act plays, panel discussions, and student body meetings. The programs are completely under the supervision of a convocation committee which in· cludes students in its membership. Attendance at convocation is required. The Student Christian Association. The purpose of the S. C.A. is to give students an opportunity to pursue their own religious interests. Through study, worship, and prayer, deeper religious insights are gained. The social ramifications of religion are also explored so that a "well rounded',' perspective may be gained. The organization is purely volun• tary and the students are responsible for its entire program. Churches. In the village of Cedarville are five churches which wel, come the students of Cedarville to all of their Sunday and week,day ·activities: Methodist, Presbyterian, United Presbyterian, Church of God, Nazarene. In .Xenia are churches of other denominations which are glad
GENERAL IN.FORMATION. 13 to see Cedarville College students at their services: Baptist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Friends, Reformed , United Brethren, and Roman Catholic. Students remaining in Cedarville for weekends are encouraged to attend the church of their preference. SPECIAL OCCASIONS Homecoming. Cedarville College celebrates four occasions during the year when alumni are especially invited to return: the fall home, coming, the winter homecoming, Cedar Day, and the Alumni Banquet of Commencement Week. The fall homecoming begins with a bonfire and pep rally on Friday evening, continues with a parade on Saturday morning, and alumni and class reunions, a buffet lunch; then, in the afternoon, with the crowning of the Queen and a football game with some traditional rival. In the evening, after a dinner in the gym served by the Ladies' Advisory Board, and a few moments of informal program, the day concludes with a student-alumni dance. The winter homecoming is in February, with a similar program, except that it centers around basketball rather than football. Cedar Day is the highlight of the college year. For it a day in May is chosen, when the sun may reasonably be expected to shine, for it is an outdoor occasion. Long ahead of time the ..Theme" is chosen, dances worked out and rehearsed and class stunts planned. To reign over the festivities a Cedar Day Queen and Orator are selected by the student body. T he great day begins with a parade : fraternity floats, bands, the Queen and her attendants. When the parade returns to the campus, the queen and her maids of honor, her train-bearers and pages, proceed in slow procession to the flower-decked throne against the background of the fir trees in the meadow. Here she is crowned by last year's queen, and from her throne, surrounded by her attendants, watches the program carried out in her honor. The Orator speaks to the assembled students, alumni and friends, the Queen's subjects dance, tumble, clown, and circle the Maypole. When the program has come to an end, participants and audience join in a buffet luncheon and afterwards return to the campus to watch the college baseball team play against some favorite opponent. T he fourth and last of Cedarville's homecoming events is the Alumni Banquet which comes at Commencement time. Dinner is served by the Ladies' Advisory Board in the gym. A fter dinner t he annual business meeting of the A lumni Association is held; graduating seniors are wel, corned into the Association, some eminent speaker- perhaps an alumnus - is heard. When the formal meeting is adjourned, the younger alumni continue their reunion at a formal dance.
14 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Commencement. Commencement exercises crown the school year. The period begins with the Alumni Banquet, continues with the Bacca, laureate Service on the last Sunday evening, and concludes with the Commencement exercises. On Commencement morning the college awards degrees to graduating seniors and the distinguished persons whom it has chosen to honor, welcomes to membership in the Crown Club such upperclass students as have won that coveted distinction, and listens with respect to whatever prominent speaker has been chosen to deliver the commencement address. SESSIONS SEMESTER PLAN THE REGULAR school year consists of two semesters of seventeen weeks each, extending from September to the end of May. Credits are earned in terms of semester hours.

During these days the freshmen become acquainted with the campus and the facilities provided for their instruction and welfare. Selected upperclassmen and members of the faculty greet the new students and assist them in adapt, ing to college life. During this period, placement tests in English and a general psycho, logical examination will be given to all entering freshmen. These tests must be taken before a student can fully complete registration. All freshmen are requested to attend a special freshman assembly at 4 :00 p. m. September 8, 1952 on the first day of the program. At this time the President will address the new students and the program for Freshman Week will be outlined. Freshmen who miss or arrive late for this program will experience considerable delay and confusion in starting their college work.

THE GRADING SYSTEM Grading symbols. Students are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols : A , excellent ; B, good; C, fair ; D, passing with work inferior to the average; and F, denoting failure and no credit. In the required physical education courses the symbols S, satis, factory, and U, unsatisfactory- no credit, are used. Use of grades f or guidan ce. Grades are issued at the end of six weeks and of twelve weeks. The purpose of these preliminary marks is to indi, cate to the student the courses in which he needs to improve the quality or quantity of his work. This information should help him to raise low grades before the semester ends and they become final. 19
20 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE The grades received in courses are also useful to indicate to the student the fields for which he has the greatest aptitude. A student with low grades in a major or minor field is advised to select another field of concentration. The mar~ "Incomplete" is given when a student has done satisfactory work in a class but has been unable to complete all the required work because of conditions beyond his control. The work may be made up before the end of the next semester or summer session the student is in residence. If it is not completed during that period the ·~in– complete" becomes an F. CHANGES IN SCHEDULE Changes in schedule are permitted before the end of the second week of classes. The student who wishes to drop one course and add another is required to present to the Registrar a statement of permission signed by the advisor and the instructor of the class he is entering. The student is required to make up any work he has missed due to _late entrance. Withdrawal from courses must be reported to the Registrar with a statement of permission by the student's advisor. No grade is entered for the class if it is dropped during the first two weeks. After two weeks the grade will be entered as WP, withdrawn passing, or WF, withdrawn failing. In calculating merit points and academic point aver, ages the Registrar shall count as F all WF grades entered after the week twelve-week grades are announced. MERIT POINTS AND POINT AVERAGES Cedarville College uses what is called the ••4 point system" to de, termine the exact academic average. Merit points are awarded as follows: Each semester hour of A= 4 merit points Each semester hour of B = 3 merit points Each semester hour of C = 2 merit points Each semester hour of D = 1 merit point No merit points are given for a grade of F, failing, or U, unsatisfac, tory. A 'grade of S, satisfactory, does not give merit points, although it does give credit. The accumulative point average is determined by dividing the total ·number of merit points received by the total number of semester hours for which grades have been given.
ACADEMIC PROCEDURES 21 Illustrations: If a student has received an A in a three hour course, he multiplies the number of hours of A (3) times the merit points awarded for each hour of A (4) and finds that he has a total of 12 merit points for the course. If he has received a C in a two hour course, he multiplies the number of hours of C (2) by the merit points awarded for each hour of C (2) and has four merit points for the course. Assume that at the end of his sophomore year a student has 64 semester hours of credit and 128 merit points. To determine his ac, cumulative point average, he divides the merit points (128) by the hours of credit (64) and finds that he has a point average of 2. Importance of the point average. The point average of a student is used to indicate his scholastic attainment and should be calculated at the end of each semester. A student whose point average for any one semester falls below 2 is placed on probation. A minimum accumulative point average of 2 is required for graduation from any degree program or program leading to teacher certification. MINIMUM ACADEMIC POINT AVERAGE A student whose average falls below 2.00 is placed on probation for the following semester or two summer sessions. Twelve semester hours are carried during the probation period, and a point average of 2.00 must be achieved in order to be removed from probation. During the period of probation a student may be required to attend conferences or special classes designed to discover and, if possible, correct the conditions that have prevented him from maintaining average grades. If he does not attain the required point average during the probation period he is subject to dismissal. REQUIRED CLASS ATTENDANCE Regular attendance in classes and convocation is necessary for the student to receive the full benefit of his college experience. The Student Council and administration have set the following regulations to govern attendance. In general, students are permitted to be absent from a class without excuse the number of times that the class meets each week. For example, a student may be absent from a three hour course three times. However, each absence from a class on the day before or after a college holiday or vacation is counted as two absences. Being t ardy for class three times constitutes one absence. A student who is unable to attend classes because of illness is ex, cused upon presentation of a written statement from a physician. Stu,
22 CEDARVILLE COLLEGE dents who find it necessary to be absent because of emergencies at home should notify the Dean of Men in order to be excused. Students who are absent from class without excuse in excess of the permitted absences are subject to a system of penalties based on the lowering of the final grade in each course involved by one letter for each two excess absences. After each absence, excused or unexcused, the student is required to make up the work he has missed. It is the responsibility of the student to find out from his instructor how he can make up the work. It is also his responsibility to prepare for the class meeting that follows his absence. COURSE NUMBERS AND SELECTION OF COURSES Course numbering system. The course numbers may be of help to the student in selecting courses of the appropriate level. The following system is used : Courses numbered O, 99-Pre,college courses, no college credit. Courses numbered 100, 199- Freshman level, but open to all students. Courses numbered 200,299- Sophomore level; not open to freshmen. Courses numbered 300,399- Junior level; not open to freshmen and sophomores. Courses numbered 400-499- Senior level; open only to seniors. In all cases the student should read the course description to find out whether he has the necessary pre-requisite courses. The numbering system is used for guidance and a student may request a course on a different level. In the elementary education cadet program, it is necessary to take certain courses not in their normal order. Required language courses may be taken in any year but it is recom, mended that beginning courses in languages be taken as early as possible. Courses ending in Omay be offered either semester. Courses ending in odd numbers are offered the first semester and those ending in even numbe~ the second semester. Cedarville College reserves the right to offer or withhold any of its listed courses. Transfer students with advanced standing must take as soon as possible after transfer those required courses which they would already have completed had they entered Cedarville as beginning freshman.
