New fields of study have been grafted into the college curriculum; consequently, rhe majors of nursing and business successfully attract a larger scope of prospective students. Extending even as far as campus beautification, the all-pervasive efforts of Dixon's campaign for excellence in measurable standards of growth is perhaps best exemplified by the detail of a mere flower bed. A tribute to the Dixon era, the flower bed in fronr of the James T. Jeremiah Chapel was carefully cultivated and planted to spell our, "Christ Is All I Need," reminding all passersby of the mon who appeals with great charisma to this "Cedarville College Family."
