, 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.
