1972-1973 Academic Catalog

During this period of dramatic growth in students, faculty, and facilities, the objectives which have symbolized the college and its spirit through the years have been further strengthened. The tower of "Old Main" represents our link with the past, its foundations and traditions; the cedars symbolize life and growth. The Cedarville College family feels that this growth has brought us to the threshold of an even greater ministry as the college moves ahead with new faith and vision.
