CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY MIRACLE 2004
'The house had gone to bring again To the midnight sky a sunset glow Now the chimney was all of the house that stood, like a pistil after the petals go The barn opposed across the way, That would have joined the house in flame Had it been the will of the wind,was left To bear forsaken the place's name. No more it opened with all one end For teams that came by the stony road To drum on the floor with scurrying hoofs • And brush the mow with the summer load. The birds that came to it through the air At broken windows flew out and in, Their murmur more like the sigh we sigh From too much dwelling on what has been. Yet for them the lilac renewed its leaf, And the aged elm,though touched with fire; And the dry pump flung up an awkward arm; And the fence post carried a strand of wire. For them there was really nothing sad. But though they rejoiced in the nest they kept, One had to be versed in country things Not to believe the phoebes wept. - Robert Frost, The Need of Being Versed in Country Things

Dedication rrivo.ieez• ofOtewice When Cedarville grads Carol Ann Towle and Daniel John Estes married on June20,1975,they didn'tknow whatGod had in store for them. They didn't know that within thirty years they would affect theCedarvillefamilyinsuchadistinctway as to warrant a Miracle dedication. But that's exactly what they did. Dr. Estes, Professor of Bible, has taught at Cedarville since 1984. He's also served as an Assistant Pastor, Director ofthe Honors Program, and Academic Vice President.He's chaired many a committee, received myriadhonors, andpublishedin Biblical and educationjournals. Mrs. Estes has workedintheeducation departmentsince 1996, teaching classes at all levels of the teacher licensure programs in the areas oflanguage arts and literature. She'salso playedalead rolein developing the handbookand assessmenttools within the Teacher Education Program. It's nottheirimpressiveresumesalone thatdistinguishtheEstescouple,however. Their classes are known as challenging while enjoyable, but more importantly, students view Dr. and Mrs. Estes as people.Dr.PhilBassetnoted,"Mrs.Estes is known for caring about her students." Dr.Chris Miller had a similar view ofher husband:"He'sjustamazingly well-loved within the department." Dr. Miller also noted that the Estes havecared fortheirfamily as well astheir jobs: "Both ofthem are faithful parents who have significant relationshipswiththeir nowgrownchildren." Dr. Merlin Ager added, "They have modeled authenticity as parents while modeling excellence in the liberal arts." The Estes have also led a book discussion group for students and faculty, whichDr.Agernoted as demonstrative of "their desire to go beyondtheclassroom intheirrelationships." In 1975 Dan and Carol Estes didn't know that they would come to stand for excellence in education andgenuinecaring.Theydidn'tknowthat they would affect thousands of college studentsforthe gloryofGod.They had no idea—but God,of course, did. For this, Cedarville University is humbly grateful. Dr.and Mrs.Estes celebrate their wedding in 1975. Dr.Estes reads to Christina andJoelin 1981.(Above) The Estes family celebrates Christmas in 2004.

Inauguration c7 ?ieen/ cWeicOrne On Friday, October 10, after twenty-five years under the same leader,Cedarville University installed Dr. William E. Brown as its ninth president. After a processional by the university's symphonic band,Dr.Paul Dixon opened the ceremony with an invocation, and Dr. David Jeremiah read Proverbs 2:1-8. Representatives from every aspect of the university family then welcomed Dr. Brown as the new president,and President John W.GarlandofCentralStaterepresented other colleges and universities in welcoming Dr. Brown. Dr. Howard Hendricks, a professor under whom Dr. Brown studied while at Dallas Theological Seminary, addressed Dr. Brown on what needed to characterize him as a Christian leader in a speech thatwasbothhumorousandchallenging. Dr. Brown then responded, and, as sophomoreBrandonColassaid,"clearly revealed his enthusiasm and care for students in his inaugural speech." One of the highlights of the ceremony was the presence of Dr. Brown's father.The Cedarville family prayed for nearly a year that Mr. Brown'scancer would notpreventhim from attending his son's inauguration. Cedarville University honored the Brown men by announcing a new department ofbusiness administration scholarship in their honor. Theinauguration demonstratedthe way the Cedarville family excitedly aniticipates Dr. Brown's leadership. Senior Mikala Varneysummed up this campus-wide sentiment when she said, "I think the inauguration was spectacular,and I sensed a great spirit ofprideforourschoolacrossthestudent body. I think that Dr.Brown is such a humble man,and Ican tell thatheisled ofthe Lord. His passion for Christ is evidentin hisloveforthestudents. Jam excited to see what is in store for the future ofCedarville." 16 Academics Dr. Brown gives his inauguration address after receiving the gold chain of leadership.

(Middle) Dear Students, There are days when I cannot believe I dm in higher education. My college career at a state university left mecold.I wasasocialsecurity number, and mostofmyteachers were graduate students because the real professors were busy with writing, research, and other professional activities. The best teachers I had were two professors who were engaging and caring,butthey were fired for"lack of productive scholarship." They were criticized --get this — for spending too much time with the undergraduate students. I guess my experience motivates me to want Cedarville University to take seriously the challenge to mentor studentstopassionatelyloveGod,others, and truth.Lynne and I havefound such a wonderful family at Cedarville who share this same vision. The faculty caresdeeplyforthe studentsand works hard to teach them well. The staff members see their roles as supporters ofwhat happens in the classroom and chapel. The administrators take seriouslytheirresponsibilitytolead well and seek God'sguidancefordecisions. But it is all about the students. Whenever I find myself getting overwhelmed with responsibilities and deadlines, I only have to spend some time with students,and I am refocused. You are why I am here at Cedarville. The students of Cedarville University are fun,loud,focused,and optimistic.Youask hard questions,you expect great things from yourselves, and you really believe God is walking with you.I am honored to serve as your President. This has been a greatstartfor all of us.Weare excited aboutwhatGod will doin the future.It is going to be a great ride! Academics 17

The students have a similar heart for the Lord and have been great to work with." With these words, Professor and Coach Ben Belleman was referring to his work as a member ofthe faculty at Cedarville University in the school ofHealth and Human Performance (H&HP).

Besides managingthese highly visible sidesofstudentlifeoncampus,theBusines Department also managed other obvious, but less student-involved sectors—ne construction,maintenance,budget,human resources, and personnel. Though most students may not have daily visited these areas,they appreciated the new buildings and well-kept grounds.

Fall Bible Conference eb Wpon 1&stib As freshmen tried to stay afloat in the rush ofgetting started andreturning studentshuggedtheirfriendsand moved backin,the2003Fall BibleConference focused everyone's attention on Jesus. The soloists and praise team continued Cedarville's tradition ofquality,Godcentered music, and "Lion of Judah" remindedeveryoneofChrist'simminent victory. Speakingasanew,fatherlypresident to hisnew studentbody,Dr.BillBrown opened the conference by calling students and faculty to excel in Christ as Paul called the Philippians. He showed his audience how they should discern what is best by changing their minds and hearts: changing minds by seeingeverything asGod sees,looking forGod'shandeverywhere,andthinking maturely; changing hearts by determining to love,serve,and give to others. Presbyterian Pastor Joe Novenson from Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, spoke during the second half of the conference. Drawing from Hebrews, he addressed the problems of apathy and failure, urging that attention be turned from selfto Christ. He pointed outtheneedforrepentanceand humility, which arise outofhonestyin relation to an individual'sgoodness."The Bible is notabookofvirtues,"he asserted."It's abookoftwits"—evenBiblically,there was no one good apart from God's grace. With a dramatic but genuine urgency,PastorNovensoncommanded the attention of a full chapel, placing Christ,in power,glory,andsacrifice,in their line ofvision. Sophomore Katie Fickes summed up the campus-wide sentiment when shesaid,"PastorNovensonemphasized God'salmightypowerandamazinglove insuch a waythatIgained areallyclear view of God's grace I had never understood before." 44 Harvest Neysa Fuller smiles before singing a solo for the chapel.

Dr. Brown's messages are not only loved because Rev. Novenson, Dr. Brown, and Pastor Rohm sing of their solid Biblical truths and applicable topics, their hearts out before the conference message. but also because of their random illustations: "McDonald's is a Scottish restaurant!"
