GENERAL INFORMATION Cedarville College Cedarville College students receive thorough academic instruction in arts and sciences closely integrated with Biblical Christian perspec– tives. Faculty members provide willing, careful, Christian advice and counsel. The College emphasizes an evangelical, conservatively Biblical theological position in regard to doctrine and patterns of conduct. All students enroll in a Bible course each semester until they have finished the required Bible sequence. Students come primarily from Regular Baptist churches through– out the United States. However, the College welcomes eligible young people from other churches in its student body. Cedarville College ad– mits only those who profess to be born-again believers. 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, where– in 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. 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 MacMillan, who had conducted an academy there in the middle years of the nineteenth 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 com– pleted; 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 forever." On 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 ownership and control of Cedarville Col– lege passed completely into the hands of the Trustees of the Baptist Bible Institute with the vision and purpose of having a distinctively Baptist liberal arts college. In the fall of 1954 the Trustees of Cedar– ville College met and voted to discontinue the Bible Institute program and to concentrate on the work of a liberal arts college. 4

GENERAL INFORMATION Cedarville College DOCTRINAL STATEMENT All officers and members of the faculty and board of trustees are required to sign the following Doctrinal Statement and Standards of Conduct : 1. We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments 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 omni– present, 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 in the literal account of creation and that the Scrip– tures clearly and distinctly teach that the creation of man lies in the special, immediate, and formative acts of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that 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 for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary 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. 7. We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine Person-the adminis– trator of the Godhead-eonvicting of sin, revealing Christ, teach– ing truth, restraining evil, energizing believers 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 re– turn to establish His 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 oc– cur, 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." 6
Cedarville College GENERAL INFORMATION 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 un– saved to eternal judgment of conscious suffering and woe in the lake of fire. 11. We believe in personal separation from all practices and influences which hinder a spirit-filled life. We believe in ecclesiastical sepa– ration from all forms of apostasy. This we believe necessary as the only Scriptural basis for a happy and useful Christian life. 12. We believe that it is the privilege and responsibility of every be– liever 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 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, 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 com– memorating His death until He comes and should be preceded by believer's baptism and solemn self-examination. 15. We believe that certain types of conduct are unbecoming to a Christian and therefore are positively forbidden. These are : use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic beverages, gambling in any form, possession and the use of playing cards which are employed in gambling, dancing, attendance at movie theater, membership in secret societies, excessive use of cosmetics, the wearing of ex– treme fashions, the wearing of shorts in public (with the excep– tion of participation in athletic contests), and unnecessary pur– chasing and loitering in business establishments on the Lord's day. 7 ·
FACILITIES Cedarville College FACILITIES ADMINISTRATION BUILDING "Old Main," built in 1895, is the original college building. It has the spaciousness of a bygone day when building costs were lower. On its first floor are the administrative offices; on the second floor are classrooms; faculty offices and the College radio station WCDR-FM are on the third floor. The basement houses the post office, mailing, and printing departments. SCIENCE HALL Erected in 1922, Science Hall contains facilities for the physical and biological sciences. It is equipped with laboratories and class– rooms. This building also temporarily houses the Division of Business Administration. MILNER HALL This building was constructed by student labor in the summer and fall of 1954 and was dedicated to Dr. George S. Milner, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who gave generously for its erection. The build– ing was enlarged in 1959. HOUSING FOR STUDENTS The College maintains dormitories for both men and women. Rooms are furnished with beds, study tables, dressers, and closet space. Stu– dents are required to furnish their own bed linen, blankets, bedspreads, towels, pillows, etc. All students are expected to care for their own rooms and to keep them presentable for inspection by the dormitory counselor, the dormitory supervisor, or the Dean of Students. Coin– operated laundry machines are available in the community. College dormitories include Faith Hall, Harriman Hall, and a new dormitory for women; and Rife Hall, Bethel Hall, Cedar Hall, Am– bassador Hall, and Patterson Hall for men. Patterson Hall was named in honor of William B. Patterson, an active member of the Board of Trustees, who has given sacrificially of his time and substance in the installation, rewiring, and maintenance of the electrical systems throughout the college campus. Married students must provide their own living quarters. The Col– lege renders all possible assistance in enabling such students to find suitable housing. A trailer court is maintained by the College, and space may be rented at nominal rates. ALFORD MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM This structure, erected in 1853, was presented to the College 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 re8
Cedarville College FACILITIES modeled, enlarged, and converted into a gymnasium by the laying of a basketball floor and the provision of wide tiers of bleacher space on each side. Since the construction of the gymnasium-student center, the building is being remodeled once again to serve as an auditorium. CAFETERIA Remodeled in 1959 to provide increased dining and kitchen facil– ities, the cafeteria is a separate building on campus. LIBRARY The library building, erected in 1907, was the gift of the late An– drew Carnegie. Permanently shelved in the Cedarville Library are about 17,000 volumes, 239 periodicals, and reference works. By an arrangement with the Greene County Library System, the faculty and students also have access to about 100,000 books which are in Xenia and branch libraries. These books will be sent to Cedarville on request. GYMNASIUM-STUDENT CENTER Completed in 1963 at a cost of over $200,000, this new building will provide excellent facilities for physical education and intramural activities. The gymnasium will seat over 2,000 spectators for varsity basketball contests. The student center will include a snack shop, book store, lounge, game room, and banquet hall. THE FARM In late 1962, the Trustees approved the purchase of an adjacent eighty-acre farm and its buildings for future campus expansion. Milner Hall, the New Girls' Dorm, and the Farm 9
STUDENT ACTIVITIES Cedarville College STUDENT ACTIVITIES CHAPEL The students and faculty meet together each day for worship and fellowship in a chapel service. Every student is required to attend. Faculty members, visiting pastors, educators, evangelists, and mission– aries serve as speakers for these programs. Praise, prayer, worship, and practical Christian work and service are stressed during these daily chapel services. CHRISTIAN SERVICE Personal soul-winning, tract distribution, house-to-house visitation, Sunday School classes, Bible clubs, gospel teams, and services in church– es, hospitals, missions, and jails provide practical experience in Chris– tian service. Gospel teams have been used of God to bring salvation and edification to many souls. A faculty member appointed by the Administrative Committee is in charge of the department of Christian service. A weekly report is required of each student, and a permanent record of his service is kept. DEVOTIONAL In addition to private devotions and weekly dormitory prayer meetings, half-hour mission prayer meetings are conducted each morn– ing before the beginning of classes. One day is designated each semes– ter as a day of prayer. A week of evangelistic meetings are held early in the fall semester, and a week-long Bible conference is held in the spring. Attendance at these services is required. DRAMATICS Each year the students, under the direction of a member of the speech department, present major play productions. These are an im– portant part of the College's program of personality and cultural de– velopment.

Among these are the use of tobacco in any form, alcoholic beverages, the use of cards which are employed in gambling, dancing, attendance at movie theaters, membership in secret societies, excessive use of cosmetics, and the wearing of extreme fashions.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES Cedarville College USE OF CARS The unnecessary use of cars is prohibited. Studies have demon– strated that there is a close correlation between low grades and the possession and use of a car by college students. For this reason, fresh– men are encouraged not to bring a car with them to college. If they do bring a car, the use of it will be restricted to trips home, out-of– town employment, and Christian service assignments. Any student who gives evidence of carelessness in the use of his car, or in the payments of financial obligations, may be limited in the use of his car. All cars used by the students must be registered at the office of the Dean of Students. In order to keep a car at college, all single stu– dents under twenty-one years of age must present a letter of permis– sion from their parents to the Dean of Students. All students must give evidence of having public liability and property damage insurance. No exceptions will be allowed.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION Cedarville College VETERANS A certificate of eligibility from the Veterans Administration will be accepted as financial security for tuition and fees only. In the event a veteran enrolled in school under the G. I . Bill drops out before the end of the semester, a refund of tuition, fees, and other charges will be made on a pro rata basis. STUDENT AID A Student Aid Fund, administered by a faculty committee, has been established to assist worthy students who are in need at various times. This is not a scholarship fund nor a means of paying regular student accounts, but it is a loan fund to assist the student that is faced with a financial emergency. SCHOLARSHIPS Academic scholarships are available to students who have demon– strated academic ability and a definite financial need. These are for half tuition and provide the opportunity of sufficient employment by the College to cover the cost of room and board. The scholarships are awarded on a semester basis with a minimum of a 3.00 academic average required for renewal. Christian character, service, and cooperation are also considered in awarding these scholar– ships. Application blanks are available in the Registrar's office. Athletic and music scholarships are also awarded. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Although not able to guarantee employment, Cedarville College assists needy students by securing them part-time employment, both on the campus and in surrounding communities. Out of an enrollment of 450 students, the College has almost 100 students employed in various part-time jobs on campus. These oppor– tunities include work as secretaries, mailroom clerks, bookstore and snack shop clerks, library assistants, campus maintenance men, cafe– teria assistants, and laboratory assistants. Employment also has been secured in Cedarville, Xenia, and Spring– field in retail stores, factories, offices, on farms, and work for private individuals. Part-time work is important not only for financial assistance but also for providing practical job training for the student. The expe– rience gained from these jobs is useful when the student leaves the col– lege to apply for full-time employment. 18
Cedarville College FINANCIAL INFORMATION Although part-time student employment is not restricted to upper– classmen, freshmen should work only in the case of necessity. At least the first semester of the freshman year should be devoted to study and to adjustment to college life. Students who are obliged to work more than 24 hours a week are not advised to carry a full course of studies.

Grades received in courses 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 advised to select another field of concentration. The mark "Incomplete" is given when a student has done satis– factory work in a class but has been unable to complete all the re– quired work because of extended illness. The work may be mad€ up within two weeks following the end of the semester. If it is not com– pleted during that period, the "Incomplete" becomes an "F." 26
