From the Introduction:
“It seems providential that at the time Cedarville College was looking for someone to take over the operation of the school, the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland was looking for a means to expand its facilities. The Cleveland Institute was established in 1942 as the Baptist Bible Institute of Cleveland. Early in the school year of 1952 and 1953, the trustees of the Baptist Bible Institute began making plans to secure a campus. Just when all hope seemed to be lost, news came from Cedarville of a college campus being offered in a most unusual way. Upon investigation, the Executive Committee found that Cedarville had a campus of fifteen acres and nine buildings which were to be given over to a church group willing to continue with a liberal arts program. On Saturday, April 4, the trustees of the Bible Institute met with the trustees of Cedarville College. By a process of resignations and elections, the ownership and control passed completely into the hands of the Baptist Bible Institute trustees. Cedarville College, from the beginning a small institution, has had an effective service in training many young people for the professions.”
