Some have said that there are three ingredients for Cedarville's success: a strong constituency, strongleadership,andstrongcommunity support. The College has been richly blessed because ofits foundationandGod-honoringpriorities of devotion to Christ, an academically strong,God-honor30 student life ing education,and service to the community. From two graduates in 1898 to 410 in 1997, God's blessings of growth and strong leadership are extremely evident. Our past presidents have left a legacy ofdedication to God and a desire for college growth, and this legacy is being carried on by our current president, Dr. Dixon. If we continue to look to our Savior and our godly heritage for guidance,the 21st century will also be marked by a superb quality ofeducation and a never-ending devotion to Jesus Christ our Lord.
