History
Founded on September 14, 1968, by Dr. B. Myron Cedarholm, the college was named for the Aramaic phrase Maranatha, which means "Lo He cometh", which appears in I Corinthians 16:22 in the New Testament. The college records more than 4,000 graduates since its founding. Maranatha was chartered by the State of Wisconsin in 1968. Undergraduate enrollment for Fall 2011 was expected to exceed 800.
The current president was announced in September 2009 when Dr. Marty Marriott accepted the position. Marriott began his duties during the Spring semester of 2010 and was installed on March 18, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
