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 Chm·ch 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 l'esignations 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. On June 10, 1963, Cedarville College was approved for the prepara– tion of teachers by the State of Ohio. The program began with the 1963-64 Freshman class. The first certificates will be granted in May, 1967. 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 cun·ently engaged in preliminary steps toward membership in the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. The College holds membership in the Ohio College Associa– tion and is a member of the Council for Advancement of Small Colleges. Cedarville College is approved by and cooperates with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches. Cedarville College holds membership in The Evangelical Teacher Train– ing Association, an association of over one hundred institutions of higher education. One goal of the association is to meet the Christian Students' need for preparation for leadership in the local church. The College is authorized to grant the Teachers Diploma of the Association to students meeting course requirements. The Registrar or Christian Education Faculty can fmnish complete information regarding E.T.T.A. requirements. 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. TEACHER CERTIFICATION Until Cedarville College achieves regional accreditation, certification in some states might require enrollment in a limited number of graduate courses the summer before employment as a teacher begins.

Cedarville College FINANCIAL INFORMATION of a 3.00 academic average required for renewal. Christian character, service, and cooperation are also considered in awatding these scholar– ships.

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. The College has students employed in various part-time jobs on campus. These opportunities include work as secretaries, mailroom clerks, bookstore clerks, library assistants, campus maintenance, cafeteria assistants, and laboratory assistants. Employment also has been secured in the surrounding area 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 and to adjustment to college life. Students who must work more than 20 hours a week should not plan to carry a full load of classroom work. DEFERRED PAYMENT OF EDUCATION COSTS This plan enables students and parents to pay education expenses in monthly installments. A low cost deferred payment program is available through Education Funds Inc., a nationwide organization specializing in education financing.

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 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." Required ceurses which have been failed must be repeated. A-This grade is given in recognition of outstanding achievement. It is indicative of superior work in quality and reveals a thorough mastery of the subject matter. The student receiving this grade should demonstrate enough interest to do some independent in– vestigation beyond the actual course requirements. B-This grade indicates work and achievement that is well above aver– age. The student receiving this grade should be capable of doing advanced work in this field. The quality of the work should be considered better than that achieved by the average student. C-This is an average grade; indicative of a satisfactory meeting of requirements. 24
