DOCTRINAL STATEMENT All officers and members of the faculty and board of trustees are re– quired to sign the following Doctrinal Statement each year. 1. We believe In the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as verbalJy ln– !>plred by God and inerrant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority In faith and life. !. We believe in one God, eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, manlfe1tln&' Himself In Three Persons-Father, Son and Holy Spirit-one In nature, attributes, power and glory. 3. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten by the Roly Spirit, born "' the Virgin 1\lary, and that ~e Is true God and true man. 4. We believe that man was created In the image of God; that h• sinned and thereby Incurred not only physical death but also spiritual daath which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and In tb• case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word and doed. 5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scrip– tures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and rose again for our Justi– fication; and that all who believe In Him are JustUied on the ground of His 11hr.d blood and are saved by grace through faith wholly apart from human merit and worka. 6. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus are b&m aga.ln by the Holy Spirit through the word of God and thereby become the childrP.n or God, possess– ing eternal divine life. 'Z. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person-the Administrator of the Godhead-convicting of sin, revealing Christ, teaching truth, restraining evJI, enP.rgiz– ing believers bl prayer, worship and service, and is ever present In the believer as Comforter and Helper. 8. We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, Bis ascension into Heaven, His present life there as our fflgh Priest and Advocate, and His personal, bodily, visiblle, premillennial return to establish Bis kingdom on earth and to reign as the Only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords. 9. We believe that at any moment the rapture of the saved may occur, wbeD "the Lord shall descend from heaven° to catch up His people to meet Him ln the air, and "so shall we ever be with the Lord.' ' 10. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all the dead-the saved to a Ufr. of eternal glory and bliss in Heaven with God; the unsaved to eternal judgment of con· scious suffering and woe in the l&ke of fire. 11. We believe in separation from all worldly practices and in wholeheartP.d devo– tion to the cause of Christ as the only scriptural basis for a. happy and seful Christian life. For this reason we oppose all Indulgences in intoxicating liquers, in dancing, card playing, the narcotic use of tobacco in any form, theater going, mem– bership in secret societies, and all similar practices which detract from a spiritual life. 12. We believe that it is the privilege and responsibility of every bP.lievP.r to br. a personal soul·winner and to do his utmost to give the Gospel of Christ to th~ whole world. 18. We believe that the true, universal Church includes all believers In Christ during this present dispensation and Is the body and bride of Christ of which B1: 11 the Bead. We believe that the local church is a. congregation of immersr.d believers, associated by covenant, observing the ordinances of Christ, exercising thP. gifta, privi– leges and responsibilities given in the New Testament, a.nd following a democratic and congregational type of government. 14. We believe that there are two church ordinances: Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Baptism Is the immersion of a believer in water to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem our faith in the crucified, buried a.nd risen Savior, and our death to sin and resurrection to a new Ute, and that it is pre.-equlslte to local church relation. The Lord's Supper ls a memorial service commemorating ffjs death until Be comes, and should be preceded always by solemn self-examination. •"

CEDARVILLE BAPTIST COLLEGE (Chartered: Cedarville College, 1887 ) And BIBLE INSTITUTE (Cha rte red : Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland, 1942) Approved by: The General Association of Regular Baptist Churche$ SCHOOL VERSE ' 'That ye n1ight walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God." Colossia ns 1:10 SCHOOL MOTTO ' 'For the Word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." Revelo tion 1:9 VOLUME XXXVI JULY, 1953 NUMBER 1 Entered as second cla ss matter at the postoffice at Cedarville. Ohio, Apri l, 1915 under Acto of Congress of August 24, 1912. Cedarville, Ohio
FOREUJORD This is the first issue of a catalog in the name of Cedarville Baptist College and Bible Institute, but it represents two institutions that already have outstanding records of achievement in the educational field ; Cedarville College, chartered in 1887, and the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland, chartered in 1942. Although Cedarville College has a Reformed Presbyterian background and the Bible Institute has always operated as an institution approved by the General Associ'ation of Regular Baptist Churches, it is astounding to no~e the oneness of spirit and purpose which has characterized each school. Both institutions were established by groups of Bible-believing Chris– t :ans with the primary motive of providing training of the hig'1est scholastic standard with a definite Biblical emphasis and without compro:nising Chris– t ian convictions and conduct. As an evidence of its standard, the seal of Cedarville College bears the inscription pro corona et foedere Christi (" for the crown and covenant of Christ"). This is in perfect accord with the doctrine of the B apt:st B :b .e Institute which is definitely premillennial and therefore teache:; the second coming of Christ when He shall be crowned and shall reign as King of Kin 6 s and Lord of Lords, ( R evelation 19: 12 "and on His head were many crow:i.s"; Revelation 19: 6 "And he hath on his vesture and e n his th: g:-i a r.ame writ– ten, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS' ) . T h:s do : : r :ne, as \VJll as the assurance of salvation by grace through faith, is established upon the work of the Lord Jesus Christ whereby He provided a p erfect, eterna. salva– tion for every born-again believer through His own precious blood of the New Covenant, (Matthew 26: 28 "For this is my blood of the n ew testa– ment [Greek, "covenant"] which is shed for many for the remiss:on of sins"). It is now the purpose of the Trustees and Faculty of the Cedarville B ap– tist College and Bible Insti tute t o continue the good work of both institu– tions in the spirit and with the purpose se t forth in the S cripture text on the Baptist Bible Institute seal, "That ye might walk worthy of the Lor d unto all p leasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God." ( Colossians 1: 10 ). -4- • •

'-""eneral ln ormation Cedarvi lle Baptist College and Bible Institute combines the history and program of two great schools, Cedarville College and The Baptist Bible Ir1stitute of Cleveland. It 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, sixty miles northeast of Cincinnati, twenty-two miles f ram Dayton, e leven miles south of Springfie ld, a nd eight miles from X enia. From the time it was established in 1942, the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland has occupied the educational building of the H ough Avenue Bap– tist Church. God had so richly blessed that there was a definite need for bui ldings and a campus. Early in the school year, 1952-53 , the Trustees of BBI began planning t o secure a campus with a minimum of two dormitories and a classroom building. Several suitable properties were located in Cleve– land and offers to purchase or lease were made. But three times the door was definitely closed. God had better and greater plans for BBI! Just when all doors seemed to be closed, the news came of a college at Cedarville, Ohio, being offered on most unusual terms. Upon investigation, the Executive Committee found that Cedarville College, with a campus of 15 acres and 9 buildings was to be given over to a church group willing and able to continue with a liberal arts program. Cedarville College was originally conceived and founded by The Re– formed Presbyterian Church. In 1887 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 con– ducted an academy there in the middle years of the 19th century. Among the faculty members that first year was W. R. McChesney, 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. In 1928, the General Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church un- - animously voted t o transfer "all control, ownership, title and vested property rights of the Cedarville College" to the B oard of Trustees of The College, "and their successors forever." On Saturday, April 4, the Trustees of The Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland met with the Trustees of Cedarville College. By a process of res– ignations and e lections, the ownership and control of Cedarville College passed complete ly into the hands of the BBi Trustees. With the vision and purpose of having a true, fundamental, Baptist Liberal Arts College a long with the continuance of a greater Bible Institute, the Trustees immediately changed the name of the new institution to Cedarville Baptist College and Bible Institute. -10-
FACILITIES Campus· Cedarv ille Baptist College and Bible Institute lies within the limits of Cedarville. The campus itself is extensive, p ar t of it the gift of friends l ike the late W. J. Alford, S r. On its southern ed ge, west of the Din– ing H a ll, is the b aseball diamond, a nd close t o the northe rn limi t, the foot – ball fie ld. 'the southea st com er of the campus is richly wooded with deciduou s t rees: maples, a buckeye, a linden, and w ith ever gr een s. The drive is lined v.rith ma ples a nd the forma l wa lk b order ed with a rbor v itae; a group of sp ruce trees stands before the Science H a ll a nd in the op en m ead ow to t he west, and solitary ma ples, ash a nd e lm here and there spread wide bra nches in full sun. T hese trees, the chief beauty of the campus, we re the gift of the la te White law R eid, who never for got that Ce darville was "home ." College H all. "Old M a in," built in 1895, is the oldest and the o ri ginal college building. I t has the spaciousness of a bygone day, when building costs were lower, but it has b een comple t ely mode rnized a nd rewired, a nd fluorescent lighting has been inst a lled . On its first floor are the administra– t ive offices, on t he second a nd third fl oors a re classrooms. S cience H all. Erect ed in 1922, Scien ce H a ll conta ins facilities for the physical sciences: classrooms and the chemical and physical la bora t o ries; other classrooms and the workroom of the art-education classes. Biological L aboratories. The new scien ce building, ma t er ials for whi ch were given to the college by the governme nt, was put up by the students themselves, except for the e lectrical wiring, the installation of the furnace, and the roofing. T he p urpose of the gift was to provide st orage for the surplus r adio and electron ic equipmen t, provided by t he government fo r t he u se of the Physics Department. The bu ilding is lar ge enough t o hou se a lso t he Biology Department: a large classroom with mode rn equipment, beginning and a d– vanced laboratory rooms, and the depa r tment office. The labor atories a re furnished with the latest equipment, including amp le preserved and demon– stration materials, visual a ids such as char ts and models, adequate m icro– scopic apparatus with complete slide series for the cur riculum offered, suf– ficient reagents, and faci lities for l iving plants and animals. Alford M emorial Gymnasium. The gymnasium was presented to the college by W. J. Alford in memory of his father and mother, Dr. and M rs. John Alford of B eave r Falls, Pennsylvania . The bui lding itself is the old est and has the most interesting hist ory of any now a part of Cedarvi lle Bap– tist College and Bible Institute. It was originally the R e formed Presbyterian Church, where the founding famili es of Cedarville township wo rshiped , and th period of its building is proclaimed by its Greek R eviva l architecture , the cornice and the square pilasters of its facade. Tradition says tha t Whitelaw Reid was baptized in this church. When the new R eformed Presbyterian church was built, Mr. Alford purchased the o ld one as a gift to the college, and contributed the money for its conversion into a gymnasium. N ow much enlarged, it cont a ins a bas-
ketball floor, which i u ed a lso for chapel , end for H omecoming and Alumni banquet . The fl oor J1a tiers of wide bleacher space on each side, a nd at one end a tage, u ed during schoo l hours as a phys ical education classroom . There are al o locker rooms, a tra ining room a nd offi ces for the men's and \VOmen's Directors of l>hysical Educati on. Library. The library building was the gift of the la te Andrew Carnegie. By an a rrangement made several years ago, the College Library became a part of the Greene County Libra ry System , so that fa culty and students have full access to about one hundred and fifty periodicals and the 34,000 books which are in X enia and which wi ll be sent to Cedarvil le on request . P ermanently s he lved in the Cedarville Library are over 12,000 volumes, including specialized collections built up over the years by the College . A student lounge and recreation room are located on the street fl oor. H arriman H all. The residence h a ll for women, which has room for six– t een girls, was given to the college by a friend and member of t he congrega– t ion of the la t e W . P . H a rriman , who had at one time been the ministe r of the Presby te ri an Church in Cedarville, and a membe r of the B oard of Trustees of th(' College. The hall was named in honor and memory of him. The girls' rooms, on the second floor are comfortably furnished; on the first fl oor , is a faculty apartment. In the basement a re laundry facilities. Rife Hall. The Rife homestead, jus t north of what used to be the campus boundary, was presen ted t o the college aft e r her mother's death by Miss Ca rr:e Rife (Mrs. R . A. J amieson ) . M iss R ife taught a t the college until her m arriage, a nd her f amily have attended and been friends of Cedarville fer many years. The h a ll was named in her and their honor. The firs t floor i ~ a fa cu lty a pa rtment a nd the second floor is a girls' dormitory, with r ooms fol fift een. Dormitory. The "B a rracks ' is so nickname d because the Federal G ov– ernment gave it to the College a fte r the end of World War II. Brought to Cedarville and re-erected n ear Rife H al l, it is now a girls' dormitory whic:i accommodates about forty-five women stude nts. D ining H all. Though formerly known as the R ecreat ion Buil ding, a la rge m odern ki tchen has been added and the building changed into the dining hall. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Devotional . In addition t o private d evotions and week;y dormitory p:-ayer meetings, the students m ee t regularly for h a lf-hour prayer meeting:; before class sessions begin. Specia l d ays of prayer are conducted throughout the year. Praise, praye r worship a nd pract ical Christian living and service are st ressed during daily chapel p eriods. S ocial. The fall recaption in charge of the Faculty, the Christmas party, the spring f ellowsh ip, the annua l Institute Ban que t in M ay, and other social events under the direction of the Socia l Committee provide wholesome fei lowsh ip for the students. - 12-

I n the requir ed physical edu– c~ tion courses the symbols S , satisfact ory, and U unsatisfa ctory- no credit, a re u sed. U se of grades f or guidance. Grades a re issued at the end of six weeks and of twelve weeks. The purpose of these preliminary m arks is t o indicate t o the student the courses in which he nee ds to improve the quality o r quan– tiy of his work. This information should help him to raise low grades b~– fc,re the semest e r ends and they become final. :.--18-::- . .. •
, The grades received in courses are also useful to indicate to the s tu– dent the fields for which he has the greatest aptitude. A s tudent with low grades in a major or mino r fie ld is advised to select anothe r field of concen– tration. The mark " Incomple te" is given when a student has d one satisfactory work in q class but has b een unable t o complete a l l the required work b e ca use o f conditions b eyond his contro l. The work may be made up within two weeks. If it is not completed during that period the " incomple t e" b e– comes an F. CHANGES IN SCHEDULE Changes in schedule are permitted before the e nd of the second week o f classes. The student who wishes to drop one course a nd add another is required to present to the Reg is trar a st a t em ent of permission signed by the advisor and the instructor of the class he is entering. The s tudent is re– quired to make up any work he has missed due to late entrance. Withdrawal from courses mus t b e reported t o the Registrar with a statement o f permission by the student's advisor. N o grade is e nte red for the class if it is dropped during the first two weeks. Afte r two weeks the grade wil l be entered as WP, withdrawn passing, o r WF, withdrawn failing. I n calcu lating grade points and academic p oint averages the R egis trar shal l count as F a ll WF grades entered after the week twe lve-week grades are announced. GRADE P OINTS AND POINT AVERAGE S Cedarville B aptist College and Bible Institute uses what is ca lled the "grade point system" t o determine the exact academic aver age. Grade points a re awarded as fo llows: Each semester h our of A 3 grade points Each semester hour o f B 2 grade p oints E ach semester hour o f C 1 grade p oint Each semester hour o f D O g rade p oints No grade p oints are given for a grade of F , failing, o r U , unsatisfactory. A grade of S, satisfactory, does not give grade points, a lthough it does give credi t . The accumula t ive point average is determined by dividing the total number o f grade points rece ived by the total number of semester hours for \\: l11ch grades have been given. Iflustrations: If a student has received an A in a three-hour course, he 1nultiplies the number of hour~ of A ( 3) times the merit p oint awarded for eacl1 hour o f A (3) and find that he l1as a t otal of 9 grade points for tl1e course. If l1e has r ceived a C in a two-hour cours , he multiplies the 11umber of hours of C ( 1 ) by tl1e grade p oin t:, awarded for each hour of ( 1) and J1as two grade points for the course. - 19- •
As ume that at the end of his sophomore year a student has 64 semester l1ours of credit and 128 grade points. To determine his accumulative point a\ erage, he divide the grade points ( 128) by the hours of credit ( 64 ) and find that he has a point average of 2. I n1port an ce of the point average. The point average of a student is u ed t o indicate hi scho lastic attainment a nd should be ca lculated at the end of each semester. A student whose p oint average for a ny one semester falls below 1 is placed on proba tion . A minimum accumulative point av– erage of 1 is required for graduation from any d egree program o r program leading t o t eacher certification. MINIMUM ACADEMIC GRADE POINT AVE RAGE S A student whose average falls below 1.00 is placed on probation fo r the fo llowing semester. Twelve semester hours are carried during the pro– bation period , and a point average of 1.00 must be a chieved in order to b e removed from probation. During the period of probation a student may b e required t o attend con ferences or specia l classes designed to discover and, if possible, correct tl:e conditions that have prevented him from maintaining average grades. If he does not attain the required poin t average during the probation period he is s ubject to dismissal. REQUIRED CLASS ATTE NDANCE R egula r attendance in classes and chapel is necessary for the student t o receive the full benefit of his college experience. The Student Council and administration have set the foll owing regu lations to govern attendance. In gene ral, students are permitted to b e absent from a c lass withou t excuse the number of times that the class meets each wee k. For example, 3 student may be absent from a three-hours course three times. H owever. each absence from a class on the day before or after a school holiday o r , ,acation is counted as two absences. Being tardy for class three times con– stitutes on e absence. A student who is unable t o attend classes because of illness is excused u pon presentation of a written statement from the school nurse. Students who find it necessary t o be absent because of emergencies at home should no tify the D ean of Students in order to be excused. Students who are absent from class without excuse in excess of the permitted absen ces are subject to a system of penalties based on the low– c1ing of the gr ade point total by one-half grade point for each excess ab– sence. Afte r each absence, excused or unexcused, the student is required t o rr.ake up the work he has missed . It is the responsibility of t he student t o find out from his instructor how he can make up the work. lt is also his re– sponsibility to prep a re fo r the class meeting that fo llows his absence. - 20- •
, Honors and Awards DEAN'S HONOR LIST Until final awards are announced at commencement, the highest aca– demic honor it is possible to attain at Cedarville is to be included on the D ean's honor list. This list of high-ranking students is published at the end of each regular semester. The requirements for the Dean' s Honor List are as fol lows: ( 1) A student must have an average for the semester of 2.5 grade points \vhich are earned as explained above: each hour of "A" receives 3 grade points; each hour of "B", 2 grade points; each hour of "C", 1 grade p oint; each hour of "D ", 0 grade p oints. The average is arrived at by total– ing the number of grade points a nd di viding the t otal by the numbe r of hours the student is carrying. ( 2) A student must have no grade for the semester lower than a "B". (3) A student must carry a minimum of 12 semester hours of college v,ork. ( 4 ) A student must comple t e every course he is taking by the end of the semester, when grad es a re turned in by the faculty. Any grade of " incomplete" will preclude a student's candidacy for the Dean's H onor List. GRADUATION W ITH HONORS Upon recommendat ion of the faculty, a student who earns a grade point average of 2.5 wi ll be graduated "cum laude"; one who earns a grade point average of 2.85 will be graduated "magna cum laude"; and one who earns a grade point average of 3.0 will be graduated "summa cum laude."

OBJECTIVES OF CEDARVILLE BAPTIST COLLEGE The objectives of the Cedarville Baptist College are two-fold: ( 1) those p e rta ining t o our Christian faith , and ( 2) those pertaining to our relationships \Vith this grea t land in which we are privileged to live. R ega rding our Chris tian faith, Cedarville Baptist College stands firmly on the Old and N ew T estaments, verbal ly inspired, dispensationally and l it e ral ly interpreted, and premillennia lly understood. We are a part of the stream of orthodox, historic, fundamenta l, conservative Christianity and share a ll of the great doctrines that have been surely believed among all true Bible-b e liev ing Christians from Paul's day to the present, and on which the General Association of R egu lar Baptist Churches is founded . The Lord Jesus Christ is the center of our entire College program and it is the sin– cere d esire of the Board of Trus tees, Faculty, and Staff to exalt Him and give Him a ll the glory due His name "which is above every name." As the vir– gin-born, sinless, crucified , risen, coming only begotten Son of the Living God H e deserves first place in our entire College curricu lum. It is the desire of the Cedarville Baptist College to graduate students from its halls of learning with a definite conviction relative to the great B ible truths that have been accepted by fundamental Bible believers from the beginning of the Christian era. This living faith in a living L ord should be ca rried over into whatever field of endeavor the graduate of Cedarville B a ptis t College might undertake. R egarding our relationship with this great land in which we live, Ce– darville Baptis t College stands firmly on the Constitution of the United Stat es, originally penned by free men in order to insure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity. We are of a firm belief that, though this d ocument was written by fallible men, it stands as the greatest d ocument of human liberty ever devised by mortal man. We offer in explan– ation of this the fact that our Constitution was founded upon the Bible in principl e and precept. We believe that this Constitution should be inter– pre ted strictly, not loosely; literally, not allegorically. We stand on the side c f conservative thinking in the fi elds of economics, political science, history, scc io logy, education and science, making no apologies whatever fo r this -26--- .... • •
