Once upon a time when the land where our college now stands was an empty field—that was seventy-five years ago— Ccdarville College was just beginning. In 1895 the first building was erected. Since then, students’ voices—bewildered, hopeful, anxious, joyful-—have sounded its halls. Here we have tried to capture for you, through picture and word, the sounds from the past as well as the present. This year has been marked.by change and growth as the fall term began and Mr. Barker, the new registrar, reported the record enrollment of 428. Returning students found the science curriculum changed to meet the demand for a general education plan; education students groaned over the change in arrangements with Central State. Watching for their first letter from home, students noticed the rearrangement of the college mail boxes. Night classes were scheduled to relieve the day schedule. Later in the fall we swelled with pride as we viewed the new look of the gymnasium at the first pep rally. After Christmas vacation we were surprised to see a new, light covering over the first floor of the Administration Building. We listened to the hammering on the third floor of the maintenance crew building a new recording studio for our two new weekly radio programs. Then one happy day in Feb- ruary we looked out the window and saw the men starting work on our new student center in the southwest corner of the campus. Each of us has his personal memories, too, associated with these things which affected us all in this seventy-fifth year of our college history. In keeping with our seventy-fifth anniversary, we would like to present Cedarville College—1962—in the light of its rich heritage, a heritage which began in 1887 under the leadership of godly men and continues today to be guided by God-fearing leaders. The story of our college is, indeed, the story of a MIRACLE. 4

Cedarville College was founded with the sub- lime object in view of advancing the interest of God on earth, for the training of young men for the Gospel ministry, and for the education of young men and women for missionary service both at home and abroad.” It was with these objects in mind that a group of Godly men met with the desire to establish a liberal arts college for Christian young people. The College, founded in 1887, was controlled by the Reformed Presbyterian Church. SDAR VlLi COLLEGE - ,U:« SKMttil
