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 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.
