Cedarville College Bulletin, October 1922
82% are Christians-and this includes the records of technical and mission schools for immigrants. Among the more regular institu– tions, there are five in which each student is a Christian and twenty– two which run above 95%." "The most important part of a university is its library; the most important part of the college is its faculty." "It is not possible for a state university under any conditions whatever to so carefully cultivate the religious spirit and religious life as it is in the denominational college, conducted wisely, liberally, broadly, for the purpose of cultivating religion as well as education. " - Cyrus Northrop. "The church may say, 'Education is no longer in our hands,' the state may say, 'On all religious matters we are silent.' Thus millions will grow up-are actually growing up in America today- without any genuinely religious training. It is time, therefore, for the church and school to co-operate."-President Faunce. "I am in no way untrue to state institutions whe:i;i I say that in our day a boy might become a bachelor or master in almost any one of the best of them, and be as ignorant of the Bible, the moral and spiritual truth which it represents and the fundamental principles of religion, their nature and value to society, as if he had been edu– cated in a non-Christian country. Who is to supply this lack if not ' the Christian college?- President Thompson of Ohio State University. PROFESSIO AL " o matter what a man's work, he can do it better if he is well informed. And the point here is that education, while it has a larger bearing than a mere preparation for one's trade or profession, is the very best equipment for any sort of efficiency. Whatever your peculiar calling, your expertness is more telling if it rests upon a basis of general culture."-Dr. Frank Crane. "Every young man is almost certain to meet disappointment and failure if he begins the study of medicine today without adequate preliminary education. The high school course does not afford this."- Dean Dobson, Rush Medical College. "It takes a broader mental horizon to be a physician than merely lo practice medicine. For the highe t professional success you can afford to lake your time. " - David Starr Jordan. "If possible, get a th~rough college education before you open a law book."- Senator Beveridge. - 13-
