General lnfor1natio11 PURPOSE Cedarville College, a Baptist college of liberal arts, stands firmly upon the Bible as an infallible revelation from God. "For the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ" is our motto. Therefore the purpose of the college is to offer the Christian student a liberal arts education with sound and ag– gressive scholarship grounded in the truths of the Bible. The college also takes a stand for the historic foundations upon which our country was founded, and therefore seeks to train its students in the basic truths of the democratic Ameri– can way of life. The general aims of the college are: To offer the student an introduction to the various fields of learning. To train the student in critically evalt:1ating and formulat– ing concepts in these fields in the light of Scriptures. To provide opportunity for concentrated study in at least one of the following fields: Bible, language and litera– ture, science, social science, and music. To encourage the student in the proper care and develop– ment of his bo<Ily through instruction in wholesome and healthful activities. To develop in the student a Christian appreciation of the culture of man. To train the student in Christian ethics and social eti– quette, and to encourage him in constructive par– ticipation in society. To establish the student in the fundamentals of the Chris– tian faith and to guide him into a continual experience of spiritual victory through yielding to the Holy Spirit. To show the student his responsibility to lead others to Christ. 7
DOCTRINAL STATEMENT All officers and members of the faculty and board of trus– tees are required to sign the following Doctrinal Statement. 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, 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 moral responsibility, become sin– ners 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 Je– sus 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, revealing Christ, teaching truth, restraining evil, energizing believers in prayer, worship, and service, and is ever present in the believer as Comforter and Helper. 8
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 whole-hearted 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, 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 be– lieve that the local church is a congregation of immersed be– lievers, associated by covenant, observing the ordinances of Christ, exercising the gifts, privileges, and responsibilities given in the New Testament, and following a democratic and congre– gational 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 prerequisite 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 sel{~ examination. 9
~ECOGNITION By its charter, issued under the laws of the State of Ohio, January 12, 1887, Cedarville College is recognized as a degree granting institution. Cedarville College has been approved by the Veteran's Administration for education of veterans under the provision of Public Laws 550, and 634. The following quote is from the current edition of "Credit Given by Educational Institutions" published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers: "Transcript of record accepted for admission on a provisional basis-to be validated by satisfactory work in residence." This edition further states that our students can transfer up to and including four years of work, and our graduates are accepted into graduate school. LOCATION Cedarville College is located in a rural community but possesses 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 of Springfield, and 8 miles from Xenia. Buses which travel on U.S. 42 between Cincinnati and Co– lumbus, and Ohio 72 between Springfield and Chillicothe pass through the town. HISTORY Cedarville College was originally conceived and founded by The Reformed Presbyterian Church. In 1887 that group obtained 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 Mac– Millan, 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. 10
In another year the first college building, "Old Main," had been completed, and from 1895 on classes have been conducted there. 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 for– ever." On April 4, 1953, the Trustees of the Baptist Bible Insti– tute of Cleveland met with the Trustees of Cedarville College. By a process of resignations and elections, the ownership 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 liberal arts college. In the fall of 1954 the Trustees of Cedarville College met and voted to discontinue the Bible Institute program and to concentrate on the work of a liberal arts college. FACILITIES College Hall "Old Main," built in 1895, is the original college building. It has the spaciousness of a bygone day when building costs were lower, but it has been modernized and rewired; fluores– cent lighting has been installed. On its first floor are the ad– ministrative offices; on the second floor are classrooms; on the third floor are the audio-visual room and the office of the yearbook staff. Science Hall Erected in 1922, Science Hall contains facilities for the physical and biological sciences. It is equipped with three lab– oratories, a lecture-room, classroom, and a darkroom. Sup– plies of chemical, biological, and physical materials are avail– able, together with microscopic apparatus, charts, models, and equipment for the maintenance of living plants and animals. George S. Milner Chapel This 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 gener– ously for its erection. The Chapel will seat about 250 people 11
and is used for all devotional and spiritual exercises of the student body. Attached to the rear of the Chapel is a building originally given to the school by the Government for the storing of elec– tronic materials which is now used for music practice rooms and piano class instruction. Housing for Students The college maintains dormitories for both men and women. Rooms are furnished with beds, study tables, dress– ers, and closet space. Students are required to furnish their own bed linen, blankets, bed spreads, towels, pillows, etc. All students are expected to care for their own rooms, and to keep them presentable for inspection by the Dean of Students or Dormitory Supervisor. College dormitories include Rife Residence, Harriman House, Cedar Apartments, and Bethel Lodge for men, and Faith Hall for women. Married students must provide their own living quarters. The college renders all possible assistance in enabling such stu– dents to find suitable housing. A trailer court is maintained by the college, and space may be rented at the rate of $10.00 per month. This includes water, but electricity and garbage removal are additional. Alford Memorial Gymnasium This structure, erected in 1853, was presented to the col– lege by Mr. W. J. Alford in memory of his father and mother. It is the oldest building on the campus, having served originally as the assembly hall of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Cedarville. 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. Locker rooms, and equipment room, and an office for the di– rector of physical education complete the facilities. 12
Dining Hall The dining hall is a separate building on our campus. Meals in the Dining Hall are served cafeteria style. Library The library building, erected in 1907, was the gift of the late Andrew Carnegie. Permanently shelved in the Cedarville Library are about 20,000 volumes, 125 periodicals, and refer· ence works. 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 200 periodicals and the 100,000 books which are in Xenia and branch libraries. These books will be sent to Cedarville on re– quest. The Student Lounge Provision for the social and recreational needs of the students has been made in the decoration and equipment of the Student Lounge located in two rooms of the Library on the lower floor. A snack shop for the convenience of students is maintained in the lower floor of the Library. Light lunches, ice cream, and candy are served throughout the day and eve– ning. In connection with the lounge, laundry facilities are provided. Bookstore A bookstore is maintained in connection with the snack shop on the lower floor of the Library. Textbooks, stationery, plaques, and toilet articles are sold to the students and the public. 13
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT Before any student is enrolled at Cedarville College he must sign a statement signifying his willingness to abide by the rules and regulations of the school. Students who do not cooper– ate in maintaining the standards of conduct established by the school may be requested to withdraw at any time. This applies to conduct while at school and also at home or off the campus. Certain types of conduct are positively forbidden. Among these are the use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic beverages, the use of cards which are employed in gambling, dancing and theatre going. Rules regarding these will be strictly enforced. Students are urged to set aside a definite period each day for private devotions. Regular attendance at student prayer meetings aids the student in maintaining a healthful spiritual life. All students are urged to attend church services regularly. All single students are required to live in the dormitories and to eat in the dining hall unless they have special permission from the Dean of Students to live elsewhere. Permission to use cars must be secured from the Dean of Students. To obtain permission for the use of a car the student must secure a letter of approval from his parents (unless the ap– plicant is over twenty-one years of age.) He must also present evidence of automobile insurance covering personal liability and property damage, in keeping with present legal require– ments. Students who wish to marry before completing their col– lege training must obtain permission from the Dean of Stu– dents. Before such permission is granted, applicants under twenty-one must obtain a letter of approval from the parents of both the young man and his fiancee. STUDENT ACTIVITIES Chapel The students and faculty meet together each day for wor– ship and fellowship in a chapel service. Every student is re– quired to attend. Faculty members, visiting pastors, educators, evangelists, and missionaries serve as speakers for these pro– grams. 14
bevotional In addition to private devotions and weekly dormitory prayer meetings, students meet regularly for half-hour prayer meetings before morning class sessions begin. Special days of prayer are conducted twice a year. Praise, prayer, worship, and practical Christian living and service are stressed during daily chapel periods. Freshman Week In order to give Freshmen an opportunity to adjust them– selves to their new surroundings, the college sets aside a period at the beginning of the fall semester for the reception and registration of Freshmen. During these days the Freshmen be– come acquainted with the campus and the facilities provided for their instruction and welfare. Selected upper classmen and members of the faculty greet the new students and assist them in adapting to student life. During this period, placement tests in English, a test of mental maturity, and a general psychological examination are given to all entering Freshmen. These tests must be taken be - fore a student can fully complete registration. On Friday after Labor Day all Freshmen are required to attend a special Freshman assembly. At this time the President addresses the new students and the program for Freshman Week is outlined. Intercollegiate Sports Cedarville College maintains intercollegiate athletic com– petition in basketball, baseball, track and tennis. Intramural programs are carried on in basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, and touch football. Cedarville College is a member of the Mid-Ohio Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. A student must be carrying at least 12 semester hours in order to participate in intercollegiate athletics. 15
Literary Societies The two Literary Societies, Alpha Chi and Gamma Chi, are open to men and women respectively. They have as their primary purpose the cultivation of Christian personality and leadership. Their programs stimulate originality and growth along literary, musical, artistic, and humorous lines, and the development of poise and ease at both formal and informal events. The secondary purpose of the Literary Societies is en– tertainment. Missions Fellowship This group, composed of all students interested in either foreign or home missions, meets at regular intervals for dis– cussion and presentation of the needs of various fields and for intercessory prayer in their behalf. Musical Organizations There are many activities for the students with musical talents. Opportunities are given to take part in school pro– grams and on gospel teams. Excellent training and experi– ence for students are offered through the Chapel Choir, the College Choir, the Chamber Band, and vocal and instrumental ensembles. A pep band performs at athletic contests. Newspaper A weekly mimeographed paper is published by and for the students. Students who have had English Language 101 or have a second semester Freshman standing are eligible to work on the staff. In alternate years the paper is handled as a project in the Advanced Writing class. A faculty advisor, ap– pointed by the Executive Committee, supervises this work. Christian Service Personal soul-winning, tract distribution, house-to-house visitation, Sunday School classes, Bible Clubs, gospel teams, and 16
services in churches, hospitals, missions, and jails provide prac– tical experience in Christian service. Gospel teams have been used of God to bring salvation and edification to many souls. A faculty member appointed to the task by the Executive Com– mittee is in charge of the department of Christian service. A weekly report is required of all students, and permanent rec– ords are kept. Social The fall reception for new students, the all-school picnic, and other social events under the direction of the Social Com– mittee provide wholesome fellowship for the students. In ad– dition there are two semi-formal dinners during the school year. Student Council All student activities are carried on under student leader– ship and planning with the advice of a faculty member ap– pointed by the Executive Committee. Election to the Student Council is a distinct honor. Occasionally the Student Council is responsible for the daily chapel period. Yearbook A yearbook is published for the benefit of the college. The Junior class has the task of editing, publishing, and distribut– ing it. A faculty advisor, appointed by the Executive Commit– tee, supervises this work. 17

Registration The official dates of registration for each session are listed in the school calendar. Pre-registration periods may be designated for students in residence. Registration consists of the following procedures: 1. ARRANGEMENT OF SCHEDULE. Although each student has a faculty advisor to help with sched– uling, the student is entirely responsible for his course of study. 2. APPROVAL OF SCHEDULE. Each student must have his schedule approved by his faculty advisor. 3. PAYMENT OF FEES. The registration card must be signed by the business manager before registra– tion is considered complete. GENERAL REGULATIONS Sessions and Credits The regular school year consists of two semesters of eight– een weeks each, extending from September to June. Credit~' 22
are earned in terms of semester hours. A semester credit hour is one fifty-minute period a week for one semester. As an illus– tration: a student completing the work required in fifteen such periods a week for one semester receives credit for fifteen se– mester hours. Exceptions to this are laboratory sessions, applied music, and physical education. Classification of Students Freshmen: At least 15 acceptable units of high school credit or its equivalency. Sophomore: Minimum of 26 hours first semester; minimum of 39 hours second semester. Junior: Senior: Special: Minimum of 54 hours first semester; minimum of 70 hours second semester. Minimum of 86 semester hours first semester; enough hours with appropriate grade points second semester to assure fulfilling all the requirements for graduation the following June. A limited number of students who are not desirous of pursuing a regular course of study are permit– ted to take selected subjects. Course Numbers The course numbers may be of help to the student in se– lecting courses of the appropriate level. The following system is used: 1. The first digit indicates the year in which the course is nor– mally taken. Freshmen normally take 100 courses; Sopho– mores, 200 or 100 courses; Juniors, 300 or 200 courses, and Seniors, 400 or 300 courses. Courses beyond the student's classification may be taken only upon the consent of the instructor and the Registrar. 2. The second digit indicates the department. 3. The third digit indicates the semester. A zero indicates that the course may be offered either semester; odd numbers indicate first semester courses; and even numbers indicate second semester courses. 23
The college reserves the right to offer or withhold any of its listed courses. Courses with hyphenated numbers must be attended both semesters to obtain credit; while those separated. by a comma may be taken either semester for credit. In all cases the student should read the course description to find out whether he has the necessary prerequisite courses. The symbols following the course title indicate how often the course is to be offered. One asterisk (*) means that the course is offered every year; two (* *) means every other year; three(***), every third year; and four(****), every fourth year. The dates which follow in parentheses indicate the first year the course is offered in its sequence. A dagger (t) means that the course is offered only on sufficient demand. Example: 331-332 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY** ('59-'60) Prerequisite: Chemistry 132 A detailed study of the general principles, aliphatics, aromat– ics, natural producers, etc. Emphasis is placed on mechanisms. Three lectures, one lab per week. Four credit hours each semester This course is a junior level course in the department of chemistry offered for the full year (two semesters), both semes– ters being required for credit. The title of the course is 'Organic Chemistry' and the two asterisks point out that it will be of– fered every other year beginning in the 1959-1960 school year. The specific prerequisite is 'General Chemistry.' Next is the course description, followed by the number of credit hours for each semester-in this case, four credit hours. limitation of Credit Hours The normal college load is 16 semester hours. Freshmen are limited to 17 hours per semester; and upperclassmen are limited to 17 except where their cumulative point average in– dicates the advisability of taking additional work. The following cumulative averages are required for excess hours as listed: 18 hours ............................................ 3.00 or better 19 hours ............................................ 3.50 or }Jette:r 24
The cumulative point average is determined by dividing the total number of grade points received by the total num– ber of semester hours for which grades have been given. 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 in– structor of the class he is entering. The student is required to make up any work he has missed due to late entrance. Class Attendance Regular attendance in classes and chapel 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 school holiday or vacation is counted as two absences. Being tardy for class three times constitutes one absence. Five cuts are allowed from chapel. A student who is unable to attend classes because of illness is excused upon presentation of a written statement from the school nurse. Students who find it necessary to be absent be– cause of emergencies at home should notify the Dean of Stu– dents in order to be excused. Students who are absent from class without excuse in ex– cess of the permitted absences are subject to a system of pen– alties based on the lowering of the grade point total by one– half grade point for each excess absence. After each absence, excused or unexcused, the student is required to make up the work he has missed. It is the re– sponsibility of the student to find out from his instructor how he can make up the work. It is also his responsibility to pre– pare for the class meeting that follows his absence. Physical Education Physical Education is required of all students unless a stu– dent is specifically excused by the faculty or on recommendation 25
of a physician. Activities in these classes are confined to calis– thentics, group games, relays and related work. Ample facilities have been provided for athletics, including indoor and outdoor sports for both men and women. Alford Memorial Gymnasium houses the indoor sports. The college field contains a regular gridiron around which a quarter-mile track is proposed. An excellent baseball diamond provides ample playing area for this popular spring sport. The Grading System 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; I, incomplete; and F, denoting failure and no credit. USE OF GRADES FOR GUIDANCE Grades are issued at the end of nine weeks and at the end of the semester. The purpose of the nine week marks is to in– dicate 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. The grades received in courses are also useful to indicate to the student the fields for which he has the greatest apti– tude. A student with low grades in a major or minor field is advised 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 con– trol. 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: 26 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
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 W. After nine weeks the grade will be entered as WP, withdrawn passing, or WF, withdrawn failing. In calculating grade points and academic averages the Registrar shall count as F all WF grades. Any course dropped after the 12th week of school shall be automatically counted as F. Probation and Dismissal A Freshman student failing to achieve an average of 1.75 grade points will be placed on probation for the following semester. For students of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior class– es, an average of at least 2.00 grade points must be achieved in order to avoid probation. For any student the probation may be terminated at the end of the first nine weeks if he achieves an average of 2.00 grade points. During the pro– bation period the student shall be ineligible to hold a campus office or to participate in athletic or musical activities repre– senting the school, with the exception of practical work. Dismissal will be based upon the discretion of the Admis– sions Committee. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS Cedarville College grants three baccalaureate degrees: Bachelor of Arts (A.B.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.), and Bach– elor of Music (B.MUS.). Requirements for the Bachelor Degree A candidate for any degree should carefully study the requirements for that degree as well as the special require– ments for graduation found in this bulletin.
