By Maggie Fipps
Legacy.
It is a word thrown around a lot on weekends like Homecoming.
Is Cedarville simply a name on a degree, written in bold cursive? Does it truly ingrain itself in a person or a family? What about people who meet their spouses at Cedarville? What is the difference in their future family, their future children and grandchildren?
