1964-1965 Academic Catalog

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. 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 pra~/er 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 is 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. 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. During this period, tests in English, a test of mental maturity, the College Qualification Test, a reading test, and a test in listening are given to all new students. These tests must be taken before a new student can fully complete registration. 10
