The Ohio Independent Baptist, December 1960

December, 1960 THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST Page Seventeen ith Our Approved Schools HO\:V TO HELP CEDAR ILLE BUILD A E DOWME rf A couple of years ago ,ve learned the hard b-uth that ot1r state accredit– i11g agency "vill not give ft1ll ac– creditation to a college without a minimum endo\vment of $.500,000, a ,,rell as requiri11g a higl1 academic rating good equip1nent, etc. Ever since Cedarville College has bee11 concerned about the building llp of endowme11t funds a11d a small be– ginning has been made; but with ~ucl1 a great need for more dormitory space, more class rooms, more books in the library, and all tl1e other im– mediate demands of a growing school, not much has been do11e to appeal for endovvment funds . The trustees recently voted to ac– cept "matching gifts" for the En– do'Arrnent Fund and to ap1)eal to workers in corporations that offer to match the gifts of any of their em– ployees for educational institutions. If the company ,vhere you work makes such an offer in the interests of education, (and you can ask the p er– sonnel manager if it does ) le t Cedar– ville College kno\v about it and tell them too ho,v much you can afford to ha, ,e taken out of your pay for your share. They will write back a1 d tell you just how to go about it so tha t yotrr gifts can be doubled to h elp Cedarville to bl1ild an endo,vment. This is a fin e idea. The modern– istic institutions are receiving great sums of money from corporations. Cedarville can11ot profit from the ordinary method companies use to distribu te their O\\'n gifts until it is accredited; but it can profit from this p1a11 of matcl1i11g gifts. Wl1y 11ot look into tl1is idea today?

Sixty-five indiviclt1als or cht1rche have conb~ibt1ted to ot1r Baptist Gideon project which reduces our debt to $28,215.00. The Lord knows ,vhere more "Gideons" may be found and we trust Him to prompt their participation. " ' hen such facts as: faculty en– largement, property improvement, stu– dent body increase, apprentice pro– gram, l)asketball team,. and debt re– duction are gathered, we believe we may responsibly seek the financial support of our fello,v Baptists across the cot11 try.
