General Information OBJECTIVES OF CEDARVILLE COLLEGE 'I1he objectives of Cedarville College are two-fold: (1) those pertaining to our Christian faith, and (2) those pertaining to our relationships with this great land in which we are privileged to live. Regarding our Christian faith, Cedarville College stands firmly on the Old and New Testaments, verbally inspired, dis– pensationally and literally interpreted, and premillennially understood. We are a part of the stream of orthodox, historic, fundamental, conservative Christianity and share all of the great doctrines that have been surely believed among all true Bible– believing Christians from Paul's day to the present, and on which the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches is founded. The Lord Jesus Christ is the center of our entire College pro– gram, and it is the sincere desire of the Board of Trustees, Faculty, and Staff to exalt Him and give Him all the glory due His Name ' 'which is above every name." As the virgin-born, sinless, crucified, risen, coming, only begotten Son of the liv– ing God, He deserves first place in our entire College curriculum. It is the desire of Cedarville College to graduate students from its halls of learning with definite convictions relative to the great Bible truths that have been accepted by funda– mental Bible believers from the beginning of the Christian era. This living faith in a living Lord should be carried over into whatever field of endeavor the graduate of Cedarville College might undertake. Regarding our relationship with this great land in which we live, Cedarville College stands firmly on the Constitution of the United States, 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 document was written by fallible men, it stands as the greatest document of human liberty ever devised by mortal man. We offer in explanation of this the fact that our Constitution was founded upon the Bible 10 •
General Information in principle and precept. We believe that this Constitution should be interpreted strictly, not loosely; literally, not allegorically. We stand on the side of conservative thinking in the fields of eco– nomics, political science, history, sociology, education, aod science, making no apologies whatever for this position. We abhor the progress of creeping socialism that is evidenced on every hand in this country and endeavor to present positive arguments a gainst it. By way of summary and conclusion, Cedarville College has as its purpose and objective the education of young men and young women who will be the leaders of tomorrow completely able and competent to stand firmly upon the Bible and the Con– situation. Only by producing such a trained leadership inboth the Biblical and economic spheres can we continue to answer in th e affirmative the question proposed in 1814 by the author of our National Anthem: ' 'Oh say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?' ' By God 's grace the graduates of Cedarville College will be living specimens of those who are not only trained in a wide range of liberal arts cou1·ses with a Biblical emphasis, but who are also thor oughly acquainted with true Americanism. DOCTRINAL STATEMENT All officers and member s of the faculty and board of trustees are required to sign the following Doctrinal Statement each year. 1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testa– ments as verbally inspired by God and iner rant in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life. 2. We believe in one God, eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, ai1d omnipresent, manifesting 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 I-Ioly Sp.u:it, born of the Virgin Mary, and that He is t1'ue God and true n1.an. 4. W . believe that 1nan was created in the image of God; that 11 sinned and ther by incurred not only physical death 11
Cedarville College but also spiritual death which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and in the case of those who reach moral responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed. 5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died fo·r our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitu– tionary sacrifice, and rose again for our justification; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood and are saved by grace through faith wholly apart from human merit and works. 6. We believe that all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus are born again by the Holy Spirit through the word of God and thereby become the children of God, possessing eternal divine life. 7. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person– the Administrator of the Godhead convicting of sin, re– vealing Christ, t eaching truth, restraining evil, energizing be– lievers in 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, His ascension into Heaven, His present life there as our High Priest and Advocate, and His personal, bodily, visible, premillennial return to establish His kingdom on earth and to reign as the Only Potentate, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. 9. We believe that at any moment the rapture of the saved may occur, when ' 'the Lord shall descend from heaven' ' to catch up His people to meet Him in 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 life of eternal glory and bliss in Heaven with God; the unsaved to eternal judgment of conscious suffering and woe in the lake of fire. 11. We believe in separation from all worldly practices and in wholehearted devotion to the cause of Christ as the only scriptural basis for a happy and useful Christian life. For this reason we oppose all indulgences in intoxicating liquors, .in dancing, card playing, the narcotic use of tobacco in any form, 12 •
General Infonnation theatre going, membership 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 believer to be a personal soul-winner and to do his utmost to give the Gospel of Christ to the whole world. 13. 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 He is the Head. We believe that the local church is a congregation of immersed believers, associated by covenant, observing the ordinances of Christ, exercising the gifts, privileges, and responsibilities given in the New Testament, and following a democratic and con– gregational 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, and risen Savior, and our death to sin and resurrection to a new life, and that it is prereq11isite to local church relation. The Lord's Supper is a memorial service commemorating His death until He comes, and should be preceded by believer's baptism and solemn self– examination. LOCATION OF CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Cedarville College is located in a rural community but pos– sesses the advantage of being within easy driving distance from several cities of central and southwestern Ohio. The village, Cedarville, Ohio, wherein the College is located is situated in Greene County and lies about 46 miles southwest of Columbus, , 60 miles northeast of Cincinnati, 26 miles from Dayton, 11 miles south 0£ Springfield, and 8 miles from Xenia. Buses which travel on US 42 between Cincinnati and Columbus, and on Ohio 72 between Springfield and Chillicothe pass through the town. HI TORY OF CEDARVILLE COLLEGE Cedarville College was originally conceived and fo11nded by '!'he Refo1·111 d Presbyterian Church. In 1887 that group ob13
Cedarville College tained a charter from the State of Ohio for the college. The first session opened on September 9, 1894; in that year thirty– six students were 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. McChesney, later the president of the college. In an– other year the first college building, ' 'Old Main' ' , had been com– pleted, and from 1895 on classes have been conducted there. In 1928 the General Synod of The Refon11ed 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. ' ' In1952-53 the Trustees of the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleve– land, Ohio found themselves pressed to expand the institution which, under their supervision, had been established in 1942 and which had occupied the educational building of the Hough Avenue Baptist Church. They began to plan for expansion but were unable to secure suitable property in Cleveland. Just when all doors seemed to be closed, the news came of Cedarville College being offered on most unusual terms: a campus of 15 acres and 9 buildings was to be given over to a church group willing and able t o continue with a liberal arts program. On Saturday, April 4, 1953, the Trustees of the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland met with the Trustees of Cedarville College. By a process of resignations and elections, the owner– ship and control of Cedarville College passed completely into the hands of the Trustees of Baptist Bible Institute. With the vision and purpose of having a true, fundamental, Baptist liber– al arts college along with the continuance of a greater Bible In– stitute, the Trustees immediately changed the name of the new institution to Cedarville Baptist College and Bible Institute. However, in the fall of 1954 the Trustees of Cedarville Baptist College met and voted to discontinue the Bible Institute program and to concentrate on the work of a liberal arts col– lege. The name was then changed to read: Cedarville Colleg~eA Baptist College of Liberal Arts. 14 •
• General lnformation FACU,ITIES CAMPUS. Cedarville College lies within the village limits of Cedar– ville, Ohio. The campus itself is extensive. The baseball dia– mond lies on its southern edge and just west of the Dining Hall. The Girls' Dor11litory is situated within a few feet of its north– ern bo11ndary. The southeast comer of the campus is richly wooded with deciduous trees: maples, a buckeye, a linden, and 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. 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, an American journalist and diplo– mat of the nineteenth century. ' 'Old Main,'' built in 1895, is the original college building. I t has the spaciousness of a bygone day when building costs were lower, but it has been completely modernized and rewired; fluo– rescent lighting has been installed. On its first floor are the Ad– ministrative offices; on the second floor are classrooms. SCIENCE HALL. Erected in 1922, Science Hall contains facilities for the physical and biological sciences. It is equipped with three laboratories, a lecture-room, classrooms, and a darkroom. Excellent supplies of chemical, biological, and physical materials are available, together with adequate microscopic apparatus, charts, models, and equipment for the maintenance of living. plants and animals. This building, originally given to the school by th ov rnment for the storing of electronic materials, is no, 15
Cedarville College being used for the Department of Music. It contains a large classroom, practice rooms, an office, and a closet for storage of vestments. Both vocal and instrumental music are taught here. GEORGE S. MILNER CHAPEL. This building, which is an addition to the Music Building, was constructed by student labor in the summer and fall of 1954 and was dedicated to Mr. George S. Milner, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who gave largely for it.s erection. The Chapel will seat about 200 people and is used for all de– votional and spiritual exercises of the student-body. ALFORD MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM. This structure was presented to the college by Mr. W. J. Alfq_rd in memory of his father and mother. It is the oldest building on the campus, having served originally as the as– sembly hall of the Refor1ned Presbyte1ian Church of Cedar– ville. When the latter's congregation moved into their new building, the old church was remodeled, enlarged, and con– verted into a gymnasium by the laying of a basketball floor and the provision of wide tiers of bleacher space on each side. In school hours it serves as the physical education classroom. Locker rooms, a training room, offices for the directors of both men's and women's physical education complete the equipment. LIBRARY. The library building was the gift of the late Andrew 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 h11ndred and fifty periodicals and the 34,000 books which are in Xenia and which will be sent to Cedarville on request. Per111anently shelved in the Cedarville Library are about 15,000 volumes, including specialized collections built up over the 16 •
., General Infonnation years by the college, together with some 5,000 vol11mes brought from Cleveland. In the basement level of the building are fo11nd a student lo11nge and recreation room, together with laundry facilities for the use of all students. DINING HAJJ,. Though formerly known as the Recreation Building, a large modern kitchen has been added and the building changed into the common dining hall for students living in the donnitories. HOUSING FOR STUDENTS. The college maintains dormitories for both boys and girls. Harriman Hall, a home situated near the center of the village, was given to the college by a friend of the late W. P. Harriman who was prominent in the affairs of the college in earlier years. It will house ten boys on its second floor while the first floor serves as an apartment for dorm-parents. Rife Hall, the former homestead of the Rife family who were connected with the college in former days, is located near the northern boundary of the campus. It is a boys' dormitory with rooms on its second floor for ten or twelve students. The first floor serves as a faculty apartment. The Girls' Doranitory is a building which was given to the college by the Government after the end of World War II. It is placed adjacent to Rife Hall and has ac– commodations for forty-five students. Students' rooms are furnished with comfortable beds, study tables, dressers, and closet space.

The college allows a limited number of students to take courses offered who are not desirous of pursuing a regular course of study. CHANGES IN SCHEDULE Changes in schedule are per1nitted 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 in– structor of the class he is entering. 'lbe student is req11ired 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 per111ission 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.

Any course dropped after the 12th week of school shall be automatically counted as WF with F grade points. THE GRADING SYSTEM GRADING SYMBOLS. Students are graded according to their scholarship by the use of the following symbols: A, 100-94, excellent; B, 93-85, good; C, 84-78 fair; D, 77-70, passing with work inferior to the average; I, incomplete; and F, denoting failure and no credit. In the req11ired physical education courses the symbols S, satis– factory, and U, unsatisfactory-no credit, are used. USE OF GRADES FOR GUIDANCE. Grades are issued at the end of nine weeks and of eighteen weeks. 'lbe purpose of these preliminary marks is to indicate 28 ..
Curriculum Infor11iation to the student the courses in which he need to improve the quality or quantity of his work. This info1·1nation should help him to raise low grades before the semester ends and they become final. 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 ad– vised to select another field of concentration. The mark ' 'Incomplete' ' is given when a student has done satisfactory work in a class but has been 11nable to complete all the required work because of conditions beyond his control. The work may be made up within two weeks after the close of the semester. If it is not completed during that period the ' 'incomplete' ' becomes an F. GRADE POINTS AND POINT AVERAGES Cedarville College uses what is called the ' 'four point grade point system' ' to detertnine the exact academic average. Grade points are awarded as follows: • Each semester hour of A = 4 grade points Each semester hour of B = 3 grade points Each semester hour of C == 2 grade points Each semester hour of D = 1 grade point Each semester hour of F = 0 grade points No grade points are given for a grade of U, unsatisfactory. A grade of S, satisfactory, does not give grade points, although it does give credit. The accumulative point average is determined by dividing the total number of grade points received by the total number of semester hours for which grades have been given. MINIMUM ACADEMIC GRADE POINT AVERAGES A. student whose average falls below .2.00 is placed on pro– bation for the following nine weeks. During the period of probation a student may be required to pttend confer nces or special classes designed to discover 29
Cedarville College 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 sub– ject to dismissal. COURSE NUMBERS AND SELECTION OF COURSES COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM. The course n11mbers may be of help to the student in se– lecting courses of the appropriate level. The following system is used: Courses nwnbered 0- 99-Pre-college courses, no college credit Courses numbered 100-199-Freshman level, but open to all students Courses numbered 200-299-Sophomore level; Courses numbered 300-399-Junior level; not open to freshmen and Sophomores Courses numbered 400-499-Senior level In all cases the student should read the course description to find out whether he has the necessary prerequisite courses. The numbering system is used for guidance but a student may request a course on a different level than his own, pro– vided that he goes from a higher level to a lower level course, rather than to a level higher than his own scholastic grade level. It is recommended that beginning courses in languages be taken as early as possible. Courses ending in ' 'O' ' may be offered either semester. Courses ending in odd numbers are offered the first semester and those ending in even numbers the second semester. Cedar– ville College reserves the right to offer or withhold any of its listed courses. Hyphenated course numbers are required }>oth semesters to obtain credit. Course numbers separated by a comma may be taken either semester for credit. • 30 #
