Cedarville Magazine, Fall 2014

This 1965 admissions form is a study in simplicity. Students answered just a handful of questions about birth date, born-again birth date, interest in receiving a course catalog, and whether they planned to live on campus. Then they signed and dated a one-paragraph statement regarding belief in the authority of God’s Word, commitment to respect professors, and desire to lead a “consistent Christian life.” Short and sweet! Put it in the mailbox, and future students were well on their way to becoming Yellow Jackets. While a few more questions have been added to the online application at cedarville.edu/admissions , Cedarville still seeks students who love Jesus, want to grow in their faith, and desire to be challenged academically. Application forms may change, but the type of student who thrives at Cedarville remains very much the same. Fast Application, circa 1965 Cedarville Magazine | 25
