1968-1969 Academic Catalog

Cedarville College is a Baptist college of arts and sciences enrolling 822 students. A balanced liberal arts program is coupled with an evangelical, con– servative theological position in regard to doctrine and patterns of conduct. In keeping with the liberal arts concept, the curriculum provides for a broad background of general studies combined with a thorough study of the Bible followed by concentrated study in a major field selected by the student in keeping with his area of interest, ability, and professional goals. All classes are taught by dedicated Christian professors who present the knowledge found in the respective courses integrated with Biblical Christian perspectives. SPIRITUAL GROWTH In our complex technical society great emphasis is placed on the importance of a college education. However, education without concern for the spiritual growth of the individual falls far short of the full development of the "whole" person. "... Man shall not live by bread alone ..." Luke 4: 4. As Christian professors present "knowledge" with academic skill in a scriptural frame– work and with spiritual perception, students gain new perspectives for life and service. The spiritual growth of each student is further strengthened as he attends daily chapel services and considers the great truths of the Bible through the required Bible sequence. PURPOSE: The purpose of Cedarville College, a Baptist college of arts and sciences, is to offer its students an education consistent with Biblical truth. To achieve this purpose the college seeks to accomplish the following ob– jectives: 1. To undergird the student in the fundamentals of the Christian faith, and to stimulate him to evaluate knowledge in the light of Scriptural truth. 2. To encourage growth in Christian character in each student, and help the student accept his responsibility in faithful Christian service. 3. To increase the student's awareness of the world of ideas and events which have produced and are influencing our contemporary culture. 4. To offer opportunities for academic specialization and preparation for graduate study. 5. To assist the student in selecting and preparing for a vocation. 6. To prepare the student to participate constructively in our democratic society.
