While their mornings may begin a little earlier, ROTC students enjoy a (mostly) traditional college experience … with the exception of mandatory pushups. Happy Birthday, Cedarville! On Thursday, January 26, Cedarville celebrated its quasquicentennial anniversary. In 1887, 125 years ago, the state of Ohio signed the charter that marked the birth of Cedarville College. A formal, extended chapel service featured remarks from President Bill Brown, Chancellor Paul Dixon, and Chairman Ron Becker of the board of trustees. The University provided live streaming video of the event online so alumni and friends could be part of the celebration. Terri Lynn VanBeveren ’88 wrote in to say that she followed the chapel service online from Spain!
