General Information OBJECTIVES OF CEDARVILLE COLLEGE The 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 Ceda1-ville College t o 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 gr aduate of Cedarville College migh t unde1·take. A major objective of Cedarville College is the preparation of well-qualified and ce1 .. tified teachers who shall be used in the instruction of individuals of future generations in subjects commonly taught in the lower grades and in high schools. In the provision of this training the College desires to meet with the standards set up by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Ohio. 10 • •
, General Infonnation 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 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, and science, making no apologies whatever for this position. We abhor the progress of creeping socialisx11 that is evidenced on every hand in this country and endeavor to present pos itive arguments against 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– stitution . Only by producing such a trained leadership in both the Biblical and economic spheres can we continue to answer in the 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 ou ghly acquainted with true Americanism. RE OG ITIO By its charter, issued under the laws of the State of Ohio, Janua1·y 12, 1887, Cedarville College is 1·ecogn ized as a degree granting institution. Cedarvill Coll g has be 11 app1·oved by the V t r an's Ad1ninis t1·ation f01 ucation of v t rans und r th p1·ovision of ubli Laws 346, 550, and 16. 11 '
Cedarville College DOCTRINAL STATEMENT All officers and members of the faculty and board of trustees al'·e 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 inerrant 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, and 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 Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and that He is true God and true man. 4. We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death 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 mo1·al responsibility, become sinners in thought, word, and deed. 5. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for 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, teaching 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, 12
., General Infonliation 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 11nsaved 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. F or this reason we oppose all indulgences in intoxicating liquors, in dancing, card playing, the narcotic use of tobacco in any for1n, 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, univer sal 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 r esponsibilities given in the New Testament, and following a democr atic 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 mble1n our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savio1·, and our death to sin and resurrection to a n w life, and that it is prerequisite to local church relation. The Lord's Supper is a men orial s rvice conunemorating His death until He comes, and should b · preced d by believer's baptism and solemn selfxaminat on. 13
Ceda'rviUe College 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 Cormty and lies about 46 miles southwest of Columbus, 60 miles northeast of Cincinnati, 26 miles from Dayton, 11 miles south of 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. HISTORY OF CEDARVll,I,E COLLEGE Cedarville College was originally conceived and founded by The Reforn1ed Presbyterian Church. In 1887 that group ob 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 Reformed Presbyterian Church 11nanimously 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.' ' In 1952-53 the Trustees of the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleve– land, Ohio formd 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 term.s: 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. 14 ,
, General Inf01-m.ation On Saturday, April 4, 1953, the Trustees of the Baptist B ible Institute of Cleveland met with the Trustees of Cedarville College. By a process of r esignat ions 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– stitu te, the Trustees immediately changed the name of the new institu t ion 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 t o concentrate on the work of a liberal arts col– lege. The name was then changed to r ead: Cedarville College– A Baptist College of Liberal Arts. FACILITIF:S 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' Donnitory is situated within a few feet of its north– ern boundary. Th e south east corner of the campus is richly wooded with deciduous trees: maples, a buckeye, a linden , and evergreens. The drive is lined with maples and the forrnal walk bordered with arbor vitae; a group of spruce t1"ees stands befor e the Science Hall and in th e open meadow to the west . Solitary maples, ash, and elm here and ther e spread wide branches in full sun. These trees, the chief beauty of th e campus, wer e the gift of the late Whitelaw Reid, an American journalist and diplo– mat of the nineteenth century. LLE HALL. ' 'Old Main,' ' built in 1895, is the original college building. It has the spaciousness of a bygone day when building costs wer low 1· , but it has been cornpl tely modernized and r wired; fluo– . sc nt lighting l1as be n installe<].

During this period, placement tests in English, a Mental Maturity, and a general psychological examination, will be given to all entering freshmen. These tests must be taken before a student can fully complete registration. On Friday after Labor Day all freshmen are requested to attend a special freshman assembly. 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. CHAPEL The students and faculty meet together each day for worship and fellowship in a chapel service. Every student is required to attend.

Students are graded according to thei1· 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 required physical education courses the symbols S, satis– factory, and U, unsatisfactory-no credit, are used. USE OF GRADFS FOR GUIDANCE. Grades a r e issued at the end of nine weeks and of the s emester. The purpose of the nine week marks is to indicate to the student the courses in which he need to improve the 28 •
, Ci,rriculum Information quality or quantity of his work. This infor111ation 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 unable to complete all the required work because of conditions beyond his cont rol. 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 determine 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 semest er hour of F = 0 grade points No grade points are given for a g1'ade of U, unsatisfactory. A grade of S, satisfactory, does not give grade points, although it does give credit. The accumulat ive point average is determined by dividing the t otal number of grade points received by the total numbe1" of serriester hou rs for which grades h ave been given . PROBATIO A st udent who fails to achieve at 1 ast a 2.00 av 1--age fo1· any se111este1·, will be placed on probatio11 fo1· the following semester . A student on p1·obation shall app ar befo1· the Dean of Students..

Cedarville College probation period may be te1~minated at the middle of the se– mester if the student has achieved a 2.00 average or better in the ninth week grades. Any student who fails to achieve at least a 2.00 average for the probationary semester, will be dismissed. COURSE NUMBERS AND SELECTION OF COURSES COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM. The course numbers may be of help to the student in se– lecting courses of the appropriate level. The following system is used: Courses numbered 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 £1·eshmen 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 tliat 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 both semesters to obtain credit. Course numbers separated by a comma may be taken either semester for credit. 30 •
