1982 Miracle Yearbook

SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS WITH ANOTHER RECORD ENROLLMENT The 1981-82 school year began with another record breaking registration. 1,657 students enrolled at Cedarville. This included the largest class of Freshmen ever at the college. They to- taled 527 members. Registration took three days to complete with staff mem- bers working from 8:00 A.M. until many times on past dinner time. Lines of students began gathering 45 min- utes to 1 hour before registration be- gan. In one instance students sang songs in line as they waited for half an hour in the rain! A feeling of orderly mass confusion was evident on cam- pus as students struggled to register, get their books, meet with their advi- sors, arrange their rooms, renew old friendships, and prepare themselves for the school year ahead. By the fourth day, all students were regis- tered, classes were underway, and an- other school year had begun. MRS. MADDOX HONORED AT RECEPTION During Fall Quarter the faculty and staff held a reception for Mrs. Miriam Maddox in honor of her birthday. The reception was held in the Atmosphere Room and was attended by many long time friends of Mrs. Maddox, including staff, faculty, and students. Mrs. Mad- dox has been a member of the Cedar- ville College family since 1959 when she first came to Cedarville. She has taught in the speech department for 26 years. She is still teaching part-time, and is presently an Associate Profes- sor Emerita of Speech. NURSING DEPARTMENT ACCREDITED Cedarville College added a new major to its curriculum for the 1981-82 school year. With the addition of the pre-nursing program, 33 students be- gan the school year with pre-nursing majors. On November 19, 1981 the State of Ohio Board of Nursing Education and Nurse Registration approved Cedar- ville College's Department of Nursing. This Department was also later ap- proved, on April 16, 1982, by the Ohio Board of Regents. The Department of Nursing will be eligible to apply for Na- tional League of Nursing accreditation in 1985 following the graduation of the first class; accreditation will be retroac- tive to the establishment of the pro- gram in 1981. Much of the credit for establishing this program should go to Dr. Lila Seaman,the administrative as- sistant for nursing. Dr. Irene Alyn (pic- tured above) has been named chair- man of the Nursing Department. Dr. Alyn holds two degrees from the Uni- versity of Illinois in Chicago: Master of Science in Nursing (1965) and Doctor of Philosophy in Physiology (1972). She has had extensive experience in nursing and is the author of several nursing textbooks. The Nursing De- partment will be expanded in the near future to include seven faculty mem- bers.
