PRESIDENT JAMES T. JEREMIAH Fifteen years have passed since we became a part of the Cedarville College family. This time has gone by in an unbelievably swift manner. There have been disappointments, but they have vanished from our memory as we have been surrounded with the abundant blessings of our most-gracious God. Wnat a difference there is now as we consider a number of contrasts. The faculty has grown from eight to fifty; our campus has increased from nineteen to over one hundred acres. In 1953 there were nine buildings on the campus. Since then most of these buildings have undergone some remodeling. Now there are seven additional buildings available for the use of our college family. Then less than one hundred young people made up our student body. Now it numbers more than eight hundred. Only an all-wise God Who keeps the record knows what the spiritual results of this edu- cational ministry has been through the years which have passed and will become in the future. As we began this experience with the Lord on Cedarville College campus, it was with the as- surance that “God is able to make all grace abound toward you. that ye, always having all suf- ficiency in all things, may abound unto every good work (II Cor. 9:8). With this same promise we face the future with the confidence that what God has done in the past we can expect Him to do in the years ahead. 8

Faculty and Staff Cultivate the intellect, and you shall have a mind that produces beautiful thoughts, worthy images, helpful ideas; that will serve as a solace in times of stress, and be to you a refuge ’gainst all the storms that blow. The cultured mind, as compared with the uncultured, is the difference between a beautiful garden which produces vegetables, fruits or flowers, and a tract of land that is overgrown with weeds and brambles. To be a person of culture is to be at home under all con- ditions. Your mind is stored with mental images, and memory comes to keep you company, and guide you from nostalgia and the sense of separateness to univer- sality or oneness with the Divine. The country will be beautiful to you in any season, and society and solitude each will be welcomed by you in turn. You are to reject nothing, despise nothing, knowing that everything be- longs somewhere, and that it is needed to make up the great mosaic of life. Elbert Hubbard
