1987-1988 Academic Catalog

2 A Word From President Dixon Thank you for considering Cedarville College. We would love for you to join our growing college family and share in the joys and blessings God is bestowing on us. This year we reach a great milestone in the history of Cedarville College: celebrating 100 years in Christian higher education. We have been a Baptist college since 1953; however, our purpose remains the same as when we were founded in 1887: to provide a quality Christian education to young men and women so that they may go on to minister throughout the world for Christ. When Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland took over the operations of Cedarville in 1953, the trustees desired to build a strong Christian liberal arts program and satisfy the needs of fundamental Christians across the country. As a result of their vision, Cedarville College has become one of the truly excep– tional Christian liberal arts colleges in the nation, committed not only to quality education, but also the local church, evangelism, discipleship, and Christian service. We as Christians have countless opportunities to serve Christ through business, medicine, law, education, the pastorate, public office, counseling, and so many others. At Cedarville we desire to prepare you not only professionally but also spiritually so that you can minister for Christ through these opportunities. Our faculty, staff, and administrators care about you as an individual. Through their concern you will satisfy your desire to grow intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually. I tlust this Centennial edition of our catalog will give you a glimpse of God's blessing on our past and present. More importantly, I hope you realize that we can help you prepare for your future. This catalog will answer many of your questions and may inspire many more. I invite you to write or call us. And please visit our campus, especially this year, so that we may include you in our Centennial Celebration. At Cedarville, you are important to us!
