GENERAL INFORMATION Cedarville College Nine out of every ten students come from Baptist churches throughout the United States. However, the College welcomes eligible young people from other churches in its student body. Cedarville Col– lege admits only those who profess to be born-again believers. SUMMER SCHOOL A six week summer session is being planned for 1964. Interested persons should write the Registrar. 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." 4
Cedarville College GENERAL INFORMATION 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. RECOGNITION By its charter, issued under the laws of the State of Ohio, Jan– uary 12, 1887, Cedarville College is recognized as a degree-granting institution. Cedarville College has been approved by the Veterans Administra– tion for education of veterans under the provision of Public Laws 550 and 634. The College is currently engaged in preliminary steps toward membership in the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. The College holds associate membership in the Ohio College Association and is a member of the Council for Advancement of Small Colleges. Old Main and Science Hall 5
GENERAL INFORMATION Cedarville Cedarville College is approved by and cooperates with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches. 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 satis– factory work in residence." This edition further states that students from Cedarville College can transfer up to and including four years of work and that Cedarville College graduates are accepted into graduate school. 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-convicting 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. 6
Cedarville GENERAL INFORMATION 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." 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
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING "Old Main," built in 1895, is the original college building. 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 depart– ments. SCI HALL Erected in 1922, Science Hall contains facilities for the physical and biological sciences. It is equipped with laboratories and class– rooms. MILNER HALL This building was constructed by student labor in the summer anrl 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 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, Ambassador Hall, and Wil– liams Hall for women. The dormitory for women built in 1960 was named Williams Hall in honor of Dr. Arthur F. Williams, head of the Bible Department, vvho has devoted much of his life for the advancement of Cedarville College. Rife Hall, Bethel Hall, Harriman Hall, Cedar Hall, the Farmhouse, and Patterson Hall are dormitories for men. Patterson Hall was named in honor of 'Nilliam 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. 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
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. Remodeled in 1959 to provide increased dining and kitchen facil– ities, the cafeteria is a separate building on campus. The library building, erected in rn07, wa;:; the gift of the late An– drew Carnegie. Permanently shelved in the college library are about 21,000 volumes, 250 periodicals, and reference works. By an arrange– ment with the Greene County Library System, the faculty and stu– dents also have access to about 100,000 books which are in Xenia and branch libraries. These books will be sent to Cedarville on request. GYMNASIUMmSTUDENT Completed in 1963 at a cost of over $200,000, this new building provides excellent facilities for physical education and intramural activities. The gymnasium seats over 2,000 spectators for varsity basketball contests. The student center includes a snack shop, 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 carnpus expansion. Milner Hall, Willimns Hall, and the Farni 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 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.

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. Those who participate in these productions earn points to– ward and become eligible for election to the college's thespian society, Sock 'N' Buskin. This organization seeks to promote interest in dra– matics among the student body and sponsors several social events dur– ing the year. NEW STUDENT WEEK In order to give new students an opportunity to adjust themselves to their new surroundings, the College sets aside a period at the be– ginning of the fall semester for the reception and registration of new students. During these days, the new students become acquainted with the campus and the facilities provided for their instruction and welfare. Selected upperclassmen and members of the faculty greet the new students and assist them in adapting to student life.

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. FOREIGN STUDENTS A limited number of foreign students may enroll. All foreign students are required to deposit $600 in United States currency before they can be admitted. Permission for employment must be secured from the United States Go,·ernment. 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 hy 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. 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 501 students, the College has almost 100 students employed jn various part-time jobs on campus. These oppor· tunities include work as secretaries, mailroom clerks, bookstore clerks, library assistants, campus maintenance 11".en, cafeteria 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. 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 18
Cedarville College FINANCIAL INFORMATION 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 work may be made up within two weeks following the end of the semester. If it is not com– pleted during that period, the "Incomplete" becomes an "F."
