T h e College Foundation T h e Missionary Spirit, united with the principle of re ligious liberty and political freedom, gave birth to H o p e Col lege. A s early as 1836 the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in America, one of the earliest church organizations in this country, discussed the desirability of planting higher institutions of learning out u p o n the western frontier. In 1847 an d in subsequent years a large n u m b e r of colonists f r o m the Netherlands settled in W e s t e r n Michigan an d in other localities of s o m e of the W e s t e r n States. T h e y w e r e devout people an d sought this country to secure a higher degree of material prosperity and religious liberty than their o w n country afforded. In 1850 these colonists united themselves with the R e f o rm e d C h u r c h an d in this union w a s to be found the realiza tion of w h a t the C h u r c h h a d long h o p e d for a n d desired, viz., the establishment of a Christian institution of higher educa tion in the West. . • T h e Hollanders w h o settled in those western wilds, w e r e a religious people and their leader, the Rev. Dr. V a n Raalte, himself a m a n of culture and learning, ha d a passion for higher Christian education. He - realized that if his people w e r e to be a success in this country a n d to be m o r e than h ewers of w o o d a n d drawers of water, they m u s t have the advantages of intellectual and moral training. Already in 1851, w h e n life w a s but little m o r e to t h e m than a struggle for existence, they heroically laid the founda tion for higher education. A n d in 1857, w h e n they w e r e yet comparative strangers to the customs an d language of the country, they organized Holland A c a d e m y , w h i c h in turn ^ b e c a m e H o p e College in 1866, an institution regularly char

tered under the laws of the State. T h r e e years later the W e s t e r n Theological S e m i n a r y w a s established. T h e persistent efforts a n d self-denying spirit displayed by these pioneers gave abundant proof that they w e r e w o r t h y descendants of the vigorous stock of L e y d e n ’s defenders. . T h e history of the founding an d organization of H o p e College is but a repetition of the history of not ajjfew of the leading institutions of our country. T h e beginning was, in deed, feeble; but the founders baptized it with a spirit of devotion an d self-sacrifice that defied all difficulties a n d tri u m p h e d over every obstacle an d gave it a vital energy w h ic h has s h o w n itself in a rich harvest of blessed results. • In the very nature of things, the g r o w t h of the institution could not be rapid but it has been steady a n d w h ol esome. In its deve l o p m en t a n d g r o w t h the trustees have always strictly adhered to the object declared b y the leading orig inators of the-Pioneer School w h e n they used the following .words: “Believing that the school proposed to be established a m o n g the Holland Colonists in O t t a w a county an d vicinity, Michigan, for the purposes an d after the m a n n e r n a m e d in the following plan, is g^reatly needed in order to supply t h e m and their children in time to c o m e with a preached gospel and with well-qualified teachers for their c o m m o n a n d higher schools, an d that such schools will have a m o s t important a n d beneficial effect u p o n the intellectual, moral and religious state of said colonists, a n d that it will tend greatly to pro m o t e the g r ow t h an d usefulness of our institutions an d to enlarge an d strengthen our influence for g o o d as a church of Jesus Christ, and that the m e a n s contributed for the support of said school as proposed will be spent u p o n an enterprise that promises great and extensive benefit, we, the u nder signed, do therefore hereby m o s t cordially and with c o n fidence r e c o m m e n d this object to the benevolence an d liber ality of those to w h o m it m a y be presented.”

(Signed b y these pillars in the R e f o r m e d Church:) J a m e s I. Cannon, ■ Theo. Frelinghuysen, W m . H . Campbell, T h o m a s DeWitt, S a m u e l A. V a n Vranken, { I. Proudfit. ' T o prove to the world that these m e n spoke as with prophetic vision, it is but necessary to state that already over 400 have graduated, f r o m this college; an d that m o r e than half of t h e m have entered the Gospel ministry; an d that a large n u m b e r of others w h o received their training here are enga g e d in teaching; an d others are m a k i n g their influence for g o o d felt in other professions. It m a y be truthfully said that the-results have been larger than even the m o s t sanguine of the pioneer projectors had dared to h o p e a n d that the influence of these institutions is today felt a round the globe. More- than a score of our grad uates have devoted themselves to the w o r k of foreign mi s sions, and, as our beloved and h o n o r e d representatives, -are m o s t successfully unfurling the banner of Christ a m o n g the peoples of idolatry and darkness. T h e kind a n d generous support o'f the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h given the colonists of ’47 an d those w h o c a m e later, m a d e the organization of these institutions a possibility; a n d these in stitutions in turn have supplied pastors for m o s t of the churches belonging to the Particular S y n o d of Chicago, w h ic h comprises about 212 organizations. Su ch in brief is the history of the College an d Seminary. A l m o s t four hund r e d y o u n g people are n o w connected with t h e m as students. T h e college has a large field. Its c o n stituency covers the territory f r o m the Atlantic coast to the Pacific slope. ■ ■ T h e outlook, as far as the student material is concerned, is hopeful, an d the field is wi de a n d inviting. O u r future will

largely d e pe n d u p o n the prayers a n d liberality of the C h u r c h an d the friends of Christian education. T h e tendencies w h ic h have been taking shape very rap idly in the last ten years have m a d e the selection of a college for the instruction of boys an d girls w h o ha've reached adolescence a far different matter than it w a s formerly. In our country the high school has its mission as o n e of the parts of that system of education b y w h i c h the State seeks to prepare the y o u n g for citizenship. T h e state university, taking up education w h e r e the high school leaves it, holds a similar position to that of the high school in the estimation of the people. T h e r e are, however, a large n u m b e r of circum stances in the lives of m a n y y o u n g people w h ic h neither the high school nor the state university is able to meet. It is these circumstances, together with certain requirements in the life of our nation as a whole, w h ic h Hope-College aims to meet. T h e uncertainty of high school curriculums in m a n y places cannot be avoided at present. Public education is such in its very nature that it m u s t reflect the passing an d uncertain tendencies of the times; it m u s t be adapted to the m a s s rather than to the individual. A t times local conditions determine its character exclusively a n d again the s a m e co n ditions are lost to view entirely. T h e s e conditions m u s t c o n tinue until our country is so thoroughly developed that w e can have a national system, or until our leading institutions adopt a plan that will be national in scope. A s the matter n o w stands, the weaknesses of our high schools are c o n tinued in our universities an d the d e m a n d s m a d e b y the universities in competition, in turn, d o d a m a g e to our high school courses. A n y system of education is open, perforce, to objections. In their practical application the best systems m u s t be flex ible e n o u g h to m e e t the needs of the student. This flexibility is dependent u p o n a n u m b e r of factors, but chiefly upon adequate equipment, a carefully trained and experienced

teaching force and an educational policy which estimates’ correctly the needs of the student and the nation, and the good elements in each and- every pedagogical theory and scheme. H o p e College possesses the first t w o an d is seek ing to maintain them. It is aiming constantly to reach the goal of the last and to hold itself in readiness to adopt every plan which, in combination with other g o o d plans, will effect the purposes of its founders an d benefactors. In the College five groups of studies are offered in such a w a y as to afford the advantages of the elective system . without its disadvantages and to co m b i n e with electives those requirements which, in a n y of the groups, m a k e for a wellrounded development and a preparation for later life in the professions or in commercial an d industrial pursuits. It is felt that in these five groups, modified as individual conditions d e m a n d , there is insured the d e velopment of a refined sense and aesthetic taste, a practical utility in the life a n d affairs of a progressive world, a m a n l y character a n d a loyal citi zenship. A survey of these groups is. given u p o n another page. In addition to the studies there s h o w n e n o u g h elec tives are offered as the course progresses to ensure all the benefits of the elective system. B y choosing the purely pedagogic studies as they are described under the statement of w o r k in Education, a student enrolled in a n y o n e of the five groups m a y fit himself -for teaching an d obtain the Michigan State Teachers Certificate without further nor ma l school attendance. In the Preparatory School the curriculum is the o u t c o m e of an unceasing and careful study of the needs of the indi vidual, the w h ol e student bodj' a n d the life of the nation, fr om the viewpoint of the scientific training of the b o y or girl w h o is reaching adolescence. T h e admitted a n d desir able advantages of our public system for a democratic people are fostered; at the s a m e time there are c o m b i n e d with t h e m

the advantages of select private schools b y limiting the n u m ber of students in a n y given class an d b y giving the per sonal attention absolutely necessary to a careful training of' the individual. ^ W h i l e the courses offered are based u p o n a broad co n ception of w h a t it m e a n s to educate a b o y for the life of t o morrow, the fact that the character of a m a n a n d the per m a n e n t history of a nation are developed along world-old channels is conservatively kept in mind. All the g o o d of the n e w is sought for; n o n e of the w o rt h of the old is lost. Avoiding constant changes in the teaching force an d seek ing to retain teachers of the highest ability a n d proven skill, H o p e College believes it can develop the individual b o y or girl in the best and truest way. According to approved m o d ern pedagogic an d scientific m e t h o d s the pupil’s difficulties are observed an d removed. His bent of m i n d a n d disposi tional tendencies are w a t c h e d an d help is given w h e r e it is needed, in the m o s t serviceable m e a s u r e a n d method. O r i g inality is fostered wher e v e r it augurs good. T h e religious nature is nurtured b y personal contact with virile Christian character, which.is not narrow, dogmatic or sectarian in .its ' aims or outlook. T h e three courses offered in the Preparatory School, the Classical, Latin an d the Normal-Scientific, differ for the sake of meeting varying needs a n d purposes, an d each is b e lieved to be fully adapted to the end sought. In each of these courses Christianity as a religion for every da y use is taught an d applied with the Bible as text book. In these days of m oral uncertainty a m o n g all classes a n d of especial danger for the young, w e call attention to the attitude of H o p e Col lege in this matter, since w e feel that it is on e of the highest aspects of our mission as an educational institution to m e e t this phase of American.life. • A m o r e detailed statement of the various advantages of fered at H o p e College will be found elsewhere in this book.

T h e m i n i m u m passing grade is 70 o n a basis of 100. A n y student wh o. for reasons b e y o n d his control, is deficient in a n y subject for the te rm or for the examination in the sub ject, is conditioned an d expected to cover the subject in an examination; failure to cover a subject either through in ability or neglect requires the student to take the subject in class. T h r e e failures (designated b y “F ”) in required sub jects in the Preparatory School, t w o failures in the College, automatically drop a student into the class below; students in the F r e s h m a n and “D ” classes are suspended for the cur rent year unless they wish to continue in studies as specials or without credit. All conditions (designated b y “C ”) m u s t be m a d e u p b y the end of the first w e e k of the second term immediately succeeding the te rm in w h ic h the “C ” w a s re ceived; failure to c o m p l y with this rule automatically m a k e s the “C ” an “F ” and'subject to all the rules of failures regu larly placed against a student’s record. .

T h e Preparatory S c h o o l ADMISSION Pupils holding an “Eighth G r ade D i p l o m a ’’ of an ac credited public school will be admitted to the “D ” class with out examination; while applicants w h o do not have such certificate, will be subject to a strict examination in the c o m m o n school branches, Arithmetic, English G r a m m a r and Composition, United States History, G e o g r a p h y (not in cluding Physical;, R e a d i n g an d Orthography. T h e e x a m i n a tion will be graded according to the requirements of the aforesaid diploma. , in order to enter a n y Advanced Class, it will be necessary for the applicant to pass an examination in the studies pre viously pursued b y the class. If the applicant be received on condition, these conditions m u s t be r e m o v e d before regular admission. Applicants for admission will not find it possible to enter a class if they have not studied all the branches w h ic h the class has pursued. T h r e e parallel courses, Classical, Latin an d N o r m a l Scientific. are offered in the Preparatory School, a n y on e of which the student m a y select under the supervision of the baculty. In addition to these three an individual course of study will be arranged by the Faculty for an y w h o desire other w o r k than that scheduled in the regular courses, but n o regular diploma will be given for such work. In general in its four years w o r k in an y of the above three courses the Preparatory School aims at the full preparation of its students for entrance into the b r e s h m a n class of a n y standard college or university. In particular the Normal-Scientific Course is planned es pecially for those y o u n g people w h o wish to fit themselves for teaching either in the country districts or in the grades of village or city schools. T h o r o u g h instruction and late re-

views are given in all subjects required for third grade certi ficates as well as in the purely professional lines— elementary psychology, pedagogy, school law an d general school m a n agement. It is the a i m of the Faculty to m a k e this course strong, practical an d helpful— equivalent to corresponding courses offered in our best N o r m a l Colleges. T h e different lines of w o r k receive the s a m e careful at tention as in the College, being under the immediate care of the College Faculty. In general educational value, it is believed that these three courses of study are w o r t h y of full recommendation, w hether for. entrance into the literary departments of college or university or for a professional training or for a business life. ■' G R A D U A T I O N U p o n the completion of forty-eight units of w o r k or “credits” a certificate of graduation is awarded. All of these "credits” are given for required courses w h ic h m u s t be pur sued as scheduled in the different groups. A c r e d i t ” or ” unit” is one hour daily class work per week during any of the three terms of the school year. T w o hours of laboratory w o r k are reckoned as the equivalent of on e hour of class work, but are not included in the forty-eight units. A table of the required units is given below. N o certificate will be a w a r d e d for less than on e year resident w o r k immediately prior to the granting of the certificate or diploma.

M a r i a L. A c k e r m a n H o y t Observatory— In 1894 a valu able addition w a s m a d e to the e q uipment of the College m the f o r m of a telescope. Miss Emilie S. Coles generously donated both observatory and telescope in m e m o r y of Mrs. M a ria L. A c k e r m a n Hoyt. T h e instrument is an eighteeninch N e w t o n i a n reflecting telescope, with equatorial m o u n t ing. T h e eyepiece holder, finder a n d small mirror have a rotary attachment. T h e three eyepieces are respectively of 200, 300 an d iOO magnifying power. A n o t h e r accessory is a Herschel solar eyepiece. T h e telescope is m o u n t e d o n a solid concrete pier, and the floor of the observatory, w hich is in dependent of the pier, rests o n a brick wall eleven feet high and is enclosed b y a substantial iron railing. Herbert A. T h o m p s o n of Johnstown, Pa., is the m a k e r of the telescope. Elizabeth R. V o o r h e e s Hall— In October, 1905, o n e h u n dred thousand dollars w a s given b y Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Voorhees o n the annuity plan for the erection an d mainte nance of a Girls Residence to be erected u p o n the campus. T h e building w a s completed an d formally o p en e d Ju ne 18, 1907. M o d e l but simple apartments for girls a w a y f r o m their o w n h o m e s is the object sought and every convenience c o m patible with residence life is a i me d at. T h e building is heated b y steam an d lighted b y electricity. T h e r e is running water in all the r o o m s a n d c o m m o d i o u s bathing facilities on each floor. R o o m s are provided for a dean of w o m e n and her assistants so that there m a y be constant care a n d super vision. T h e studios an d practice r o o m s of the School of M u si c are located on the first floor. A dining hall a n d par lors are located also o n the first floor. Carnegie G y m n a s i u m — Carnegie G y m n a s i u m , the funds for the erection of w h ic h w e r e given b y Mr. A n d r e w C a r negie in 1905, w a s completed an d dedicated in June, 1906. The'building has been constructed so that it will serve for

public meetings of all kinds in addition to the original pur pose for which it,was built. It has a seating capacity of 1,200 at the least, and in the course of a few years will be provided with a pipe organ for concert and public work. T h e different n u m b e r s of the College Lecture Course are given in the Hall during the school year and the official public exercises of the College are held regularly in it. T h e gymnastic equipment comprises all the apparatus necessary to the latest and m o s t approved physical exercise.

O F F E R E D

besides the advantages of location, easy comm u n i c at i o n and inexpensiv'e living, it is believed Flope College m a y justly call attention to equally important advantages of a very

different nature. It is a chartered institution incorporated under the laws of the state an d legally entitled to grant certificates a n d diplomas and to confer degrees. t h e classes are not so large as to preclude the personal acquaintance, contact a n d influence of each m e m b e r of the faculty with every student c o m i n g under his instruction. Classes w h ic h n u m b e r m o r e than can be cared for b y one instructor are divided into sections. This personal element, m a d e possible in a smaller institution, is a factor of great educational value both morally a n d intellectually an d parents are apt to consider it in m a k i n g choice of an institution. H o p e College is not a local institution. Its students represent an extensive territory, extending east as far as the state of N e w Y o r k an d west .as far as the Pacific. T h e students are, in the main, f r o m a m o n g the best pupils f r o m m a n y public schools an d in general possess a high order of ability an d a laudable ambition to m a k e their w a y in the world. This m a k e s t h e m desirable companions, inviting their fellows to friendly competition an d industrious study. It will be seen, therefore, that H o p e College offers and secures a regular liberal course of training as complete as can be found in m o s t of our western colleges.

E X A M I N A T I O N S In all departments written examinations are held at the close of each term, or w h e n e v e r a subject is completed. W h e n practicable, the examinations at the close of the year or w h e n e v e r a branch of study is finished, cover the entire field of study. T h e next examination for admission will be held the da y ,before the n e w school year opens, viz., o n Tuesday. Sept. 17, 1913, at 9 A. M .

RELIGIOUS

EXERCISES

T h e exercises of each da y begin with prayer in W i n a n t s Chapel at 8 A. M .

O n the Sabbath every student is expected to worship regularly in one of the. churches in the city or vicinity unless excused b y the President. Religious instruction is given in all the classes regularly and, like all the other studies, is in charge of the Faculty. A l t h o u g h H o p e College is denominational an d is under the patronage a n d support of the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in America, yet b y the law of its incorporation it can have no "religious test.” T h e doors arc op en to all regardless of religious or denominational affiliations an d w e l c o m e is given to all w h o submit to its scholastic regulations. A s a Christian school, however,

it inculcates gospel truths and demands a

consistent moral character and deportment: ' T h e Y o u n g M e n ’s Christian Association is in a flourish ing condition, a n d continues to be a great blessing to the students, it offers a splendid opportunity to secure Chris tian g r ow t h an d to do personal religious work. U n d e r the auspices of the Association several S u n d a y Schools, n u m bering hundreds of scholars, are conducted in the surround ing country. T h e students also support a w e ek l y prayer m e e t ing, f r o m w h ic h the institution continues to reap m u c h spirit ual fruit. T h e Y o u n g W o m e n ’s Christian Association is d o ing excellent w o r k along similar lines of endeavor a n d in the attempt to encourage an d inspire Christian living a m o n g young women. A strong religious spirit is found a m o n g the students and G o d has so blessed the religious w o r k that f r o m year to year m a n y hopeful conversions are witnessed. ■ This condition has naturally developed a deep interest in Christian Missions. Mission Classes m e e t once every w e e k to study the history a n d m e t h o d s of missions an d missionary biographies relating m o r e particularly to the mission fields of our o w n Church. .

L I B R A R Y I he library, w h ich n u m b e r s over 17,000 volumes, is open every day an d is free for the use of the students. B o o k s and pamphlets, as well as magazines an d papers, are constantly added. T h e friends of H o p e College m a y be assured that their gifts of valuable b ooks to the library will be taken care of a n d appreciated an d m a d e useful b y giving t h e m a place u p o n the a m p l e shelves of the magnificent fire-proof library building. ' In connection with the library is a reading r o o m in w h ich are found m a n y b o oks of reference an d which, b y the liberality of Mr. W m . B r o w e r of N e w Y o r k City, is supplied with m a n y valuable periodicals a n d leading journals o n poli足 tics, religion, science an d literature. T h e s e m a y be consulted o n a n y da y w h e n the College is in session, but m a y not be w i t h d r a w n f r o m the room. Laboratory a n d philosophical apparatus for lecture r o o m w o r k is g r o w i n g in value and completeness. Donations b y the graduates an d friends of the institution, of maps, charts, instruments and specimens of natural history are solicited with the assurance that all such will materially ad d to the efficiency of the w'ork. S O C I E T I E S N i n e Literary Societies are found in the Institution. T h e Meliphonc, the Cosmopolitan, a n d the Fraternal have been maintained for years. T h e Knickerbocker for m e n and the Delphi for w o m e n are of m o r e recent organization. T h e s e organizations offer decided advantages to their respective m e m b e r s and materially aid in the attainment of the culture w h ic h it is the object of the College to promote. T h e Ulfilas Club is doing excellent w o r k in fostering the study of the D u t c h language. T h e M . S. an d S. S. Societies are societies of the y o u n g ladies for the purpose of enjoying free discus-

sion a n d obtaining experience in conducting public meetings. In all of these societies a free, democratic, A m e r i c a n spirit is d e m a n d e d a n d n o class distinctions based u p o n wealth, posi tion or influence are tolerated.

T h e Science Club is an association for the a d v a n c e m e n t of scientiiic study an d research. Its m e m b e r s h i p is o p e n to instructors a n d students w h o are interested in Natural Sci ence. Reports based u p o n scientific investigations in E u r o p e a n d A m e r i c a are prepared b y the m e m b e r s . Progress in in dividual research at H o p e College is fostered an d published. Meetings are held at stated intervals an d the general field of scientific study, education a n d progress is considered. VVe have n o G r e e k letter fraternities, w h ic h are vcr 3^ often expensive to the students a n d are apt to divide t h e m into discordant classes. A s the student life is largely the formation period of the professional m a n ’s character, a n d as a m a n ’s influence a n d usefulness d e p e n d m u c h u p o n his s y m p a t h y with me n, irrespective of classes, it is therefore desirable that a democratic spirit should characterize-the Christian college. Moreover, plain, economical living is encouraged, in order that the young, not favored with an a b u n d a n c e of this w o rl d ’s goods, m a y be able to acquire a liberal education. In our opinion fraternities a n d chapter houses do not lead to such m o d e of living as w'e desire for our students. P U B L I C A T I O N S C o nn ected with the institution t w o religious weeklies are published,Be H o p e and T h e Leader. T h e first w a s establish ed in 1866 an d is under the direction of the Council through its Editorial Committee. It has a circulation of s o m e 3,000 copies.

FEES,

EXPENSES,

ETC.

T h e aim constantly kept in m i n d is to provide at H o p e College everything necessary to a broad, liberal education at the lowest possible cost consistent with educational facili ties of the m o s t m o d e r n and approved type and with a life of

reiincmcnt a n d culture. It is believed that n o w h e r e else in a c o m m u n i t y as progressive as the city of Holland an d its vicinity has b e c o m e in the last fifteen years an d in n o college of equal standing with H o p e College can a student live as inexpensively a n d as wholesomely. ' T h e r e are n o regular tuition fees. A nominal, incidental fee of eight dollars in the College an d six dollars in the P r e 足 paratory School is charged each term. T h e s e fees m u s t be paid in advance at the time of registration. Laboratory fees cover only the actual cost of apparatus a n d material used by each individual student. A s these vary with each student n o satisfactory statement can be m a d e regarding t h e m but they are so small as to be practically negligible. T h e College graduation fee is five dollars, w h ic h m u s t be paid immediate足 ly after the student is admitted to candidacy for the degree. In the G y m n a s i u m a nominal fee to cover rental of lockers an d incidental expenses is the only official charge. Expenses connected with t e a m a n d club or special w o r k are m e t b y the students engaging in the w o r k an d the a m o u n t e x pe n d e d lies wholly within the pleasure of the student. T h e Faculty discountenances all ill-advised or unnecessary ex足 penses. All interschool athletics during, term are prohibited b y the F'aculty,mainly o n the g r o u n d of the extravagant costs s o me t i m e s connected with such w o r k an d w h a t m a y be termed the financial morale of such contests. Gambling, betting and similar practices are absolutely forbidden an d w e are glad to say that up to the present time the student-body at 1-lope College is united in c o n d e m n i n g these questionable practices. A keen spirit of rivalry, looking to m a n l y and friendly contest in scholarship, oratory a n d physical ex足 cellence, is p r o m o t e d b y Faculty an d students alike. T h e cost of living u p o n the c a m p u s is correspondingly low. Limited dormitory a c c o m m o d a t i o n s are provided for m e n students an d r o o m s are rented at a cost barely cover-

ing the expenses of light and fuel. T h e r e are twenty-six r o o m s in V a n Vleck Hall a n d O g g e l House, in the selection of w h ich students looking t oward the Christian ministry have the preference. T h e s e are furnished in part. B o t h buildings are lighted by electricity an d V a n Vleck Hall is heated by steam. ' C o m p l e t e a c c o m m o d a t i o n s are provided for w o m e n students in Voor h e e s Hall. T h e building, lighted by elec足 tricity a n d heated by'steam, is capable of housing one h u n 足 dred girls. It is equipped in the m o s t m o d e r n w a y in every detail. T h e r e are large general baths and toilets, individual lavatories, reception parlors a n d dining rooms. R o o m s m a y be rented single or en suite. A special circular giving full details regarding a c c o m m o d a t i o n s at V o or h e e s Hall will be sent u p o n application to the D e a n of W o m e n . T h e cost of rentals in private h o m e s in the city varies f r o m hfty cents per w e e k without heat to three dollars per w e e k with heat a n d light. W h il e the Council an d Faculty strongly advise that all students reside u p o n the c a m p u s if it is possible, they m a k e n o restrictions to the choice of r o o m s b y the students except in the requirement that all conditions shall be strictly in keeping with refined an d moral living. Life u p o n the C a m p u s is. in the long run, the m o s t satisfactory, and parents will find that their children are best provided for in this way. Accommodations

for board are provided in the Dining

R o o m s at V o o r h e e s Hall for both m e n a n d w o m e n .

Altho

the cost of food-stuffs has been extraordinarily high during the last fe w years, the price of board is $3.00 per week.

Day

students are c harged t w e n t y cents per me a l or fifty cents per day.

'Fhe h o m e plan of regular nieals at stated hours is at

present followed an d in this w a y over o n e h u n d r e d students may

be a c c o m m o d a t e d .

A tabular estimate of expenses is given herewith w h ich does not include clothing and travel as these m u s t necessarily

vary with each individual. This estimate is based u p o n living u p o n the C a m p u s : C O L L E G E : — Incidental fees........... $ 25.00 • B o a r d . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100.00 R e n t (two in a r o o m ) .... 35.00 B o o k s a n d Sundries. . . . . . . 20.00 ----- $180.00 T h e above estimate is an a n s w e r to those w h o w a n t to k n o w h o w m u c h m o n e y is absolutely needed. O f course the expense of s o m e of the students exceeds this a m o u n t ; s o m e however, spend less. A n u m b e r of our students earn e n o u g h m o n e y to p a y .their o w n w a y through college. Y o u n g people of noble aspirations but of limited m e a n s need not be discouraged. A t H o p e College they will find m a n y like themselves, s o m e of w h o m have c o m e a great • distance seeking an education. S u c h as these are in earnest, content with plain living, and, b y practicing the economies that are possible in this place, succeed in reducing their ex penses within very n a r r o w limits. M a n y parents having children to educate find it to their aavantage to c o m e to the city to live. T o such it m a y be truthfully said that Holland is a growing, enterprising city— one of the m o s t prosperous a n d beautiful in Michigan. W i t h its broad and s h ady streets, its water works, a n d its electric illumination, Holland is equally well adapted to the life of quiet retirement a n d to that of the active business man. Trolley lines f r o m Holland to Saugatuck an d G r a n d Rapids a n d all intervening points enable students living along these lines to c o m e in for the day, a n d thus materially reduce expenses.

DISCIPLINE It is gratifying to observe that the m o ral and spiritual tone of the students is such that the matter of discipline is

reduced to a m i n i m u m . General opinion is o n the side of right an d reasonableness, a n d lends its powerful support to the interest of g o o d order an d efficient work. It is the a i m of H o p e College to develop this high moral culture a n d charac ter of the student n o less than to advance his intellectual development. ' ■ In general, however, if it appears that students do not improve their time an d opportunities, or do not conduct t h e m selves in a respectable and orderly manner, their connection with the institution is suspended: or if it should be found after due probation a n d inquirj', that the influence of a stu dent is bad a n d injurious to others, the right is exercised of requiring the withdrawal of such a student. A record is kept of the scholastic standing of each stu.dent and a co py of the s a m e is sent to the parents or guar dian at the close of each term. If the average standing does not exceed 70 o n a basis of 100, he is dropped f r o m his class.. All students are required to be present, prom p t l y o n the first day of each an d every term. Recitations begin the next m o r n i n g at the usual hour, 8 o ’clock. T e r m fees and r o o m rent are to paid strictly in advance; a n y student w h o violates this rule forfeits his right to co n tinue in the institution after on e m o n t h ’s grace. D a n c i n g and card playing are prohibited, as is also the use of tobacco o n the College C a m p u s . Parents living at a distance are requested not to ask or expect their children to c o m e h o m e during term time. It seriously interferes with proper habits of study, and by our rules n o n e is to be absent fr om the institution without per mission of the .President. .

MUSEUM A m o n g the treasures of the M u s e u m arc replica marbles of V e n u s de Milo and Ajax, the gifts of Dr. Jonathan A c k e r m a n Coles, of N e w York. B o t h arc imported original-size

busts of exquisite w o r k m a n s h i p in copying an d in detail. T h e y are m o u n t e d u p o n marble pedestals w h ic h are also the gifts of Dr. Coles. VVe are rarely fortunate in the possession of these statues an d deeply grateful to the d o no r for his gifts, and m o r e than all for the kindly interest in H o p e College w h ich p r o m p t e d h i m in presenting them. A m o n g Dr. Coles’ previous, gifts are the photographs in full size of Apollo Belvedere, Augustus, Michael A n g e l o ’s M o s e s a n d the Discus T h r o w e r of M y r o n ; the bronze bust of H o u d o n ’s W a s h i n g ton; and interest bearing securities, the proceeds of which are to be devoted once in three years to the purchase of a bust of Washington, to be offered as a prize to students pre senting the best oration o n a patriotic subject. T h e first contest held u p o n the Coles Foundation took place M a y 30, 1907, in Carnegie G y m n a s i u m ; the second, F'eb. 22, 1910; the third will take place F'eb. 22, 1913. In addition to these the M u s e u m has been enriched recently b y gifts f r o m Rev. A. L. Warnshuis, ’V7; J. J. Banninga, ’98; H . V. S. Peeke, ’87; H. G. Keppel, ’89; W m .

FRIENDS

H o p e College is grateful to the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in America, w h o s e she is an d w h o m she so loyally serves b y the m e n she is furnishing its ministry, both in the domestic and foreign field, a n d with w h o m she is a u g m e n t i n g the ranks of Christian m a n h o o d in all walks of I'fc. ' Flope College is grateful to loyal and liberal friends w h o here invest their m o n e y , not in dead and fleeting things, but in brain and character and souls of men. B e assured, n o w h e r e else will your well-earned m o n e y yield larger returns;

in n o other w a y can y o u render better service for yo ur church a n d for yo ur country. W i t h such e n co u r agements as these H o p e College feels hopeful for the future. S h e will try still to deserve your favor an d yo ur liberality. Y o u have y o u n g friends— continue to send us their names, if they are studious an d deserving, a n d especially the n a m e s of such as are not likely otherwise to receive a liberal education.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Gene r o u s and noble-hearted friends have f r o m time to time, b y their liberality, increased the e n d o w m e n t fund. H o p e College o w e s its existence a n d prosperity to the kind help of such friends of Christian education. It believes that the n u m b e r of those w h o propose to give to m e e t its necessities is ever increasing. It is far better for these also to carry out their intention while living, as then they are sure their gifts reach the desired object. I he College is still in need of e n d o w m e n t s of professor ships an d a dormitory for y o u n g men. H e r e -is an opportunity for philanthropists w h o have an honorable ambition to co n nect their n a m e s permanently with an institution that has long ceased to be an experiment a n d w h ic h promises to b e c o m e an increasing p o w e r for g o o d in C h u r c h a n d State. A professorship m a y be e n d o w e d b y the donation of $25,000, a scholarship b y the donation of $2,000. •

T h e requirements of the Constitution in regard to stu dents preparing for the ministry in the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h are as follows: “E v e r y person contemplating the w o r k of the ministry, before he c o m m e n c e s his course of Theological studies, shall furnish satisfactory evidence of his being a m e m b e r , in full c o m m u n i o n an d in g o o d standing, of a R e f o r m e d Protestant Church; of his piety, abilities a n d literary attainments; an d thereupon shall be admitted into o n e of the Theological Schools; and, during the prosecution of'his studies there, shall be subject to the rules and- regulations thereof; and, w h e n he shall have completed the prescribed course a n d term of Theological studies, shall be admitted to an examination according to the regulations of the Schools, as established b y the General Synod; and, if found qualified, shall receive a Professorial Certificate to that effect, w h ic h shall entitle h i m to an examination for licensure before the Classis to w h ic h he belongs.”— Constitution, Art. II, Sec. 2.

E X A M I N A T I O N S — A t the close of the year a written examination of all the classes, a n d o n all the branches of study, is held before a C o m m i t t e e of the B o a r d of Superin tendents, o n T h u r s d a y a n d Friday before C o m m e n c e m e n t , at nine o ’clock a. m., a n d this is followed b y an oral e x a m i n a tion before the fullBoard o n the T u e s d a y an d W e d n e s d a y of C o m m e n c e m e n t week. Special written examinations are held in midwinter as the w o r k requires. B E N E F I C i A R Y A I D — Instruction is entirely gratuitous. Y o u n g m e n are aided b y the B o a r d of Education as their circumstances require an d the funds admit, not only while in the Seminary, but in the College studies ■preparatory to entering it. R o o m s are provided in V a n V l eck Hall, and board can be obtained in the city or at V o o r h e e s D o r m i t o r y at $3.50 per week. M I S S I O N W O R K — A study of Missions is included in the regular w o r k of the Seminary. T h e students a n d faculty together support t w o native workers in India. A w e ek l y prayer meeting does m u c h to stimulate a deep interest in missions. Mr. Peter Semelink has established a scholarship of $2,000, the i n co m e of w h ic h is to be paid to a student in the Seminary, preference to be given to on e looking forward to Foreign Missionary W o r k . ' . T H E A D E L P H I C Y. M . C. A.— A gathering of Profes sors a n d Students is held every T u e s d a y evening at the h o m e of on e of the Professors. It stands for social, intel lectual an d spiritual development. Devotional exercises oc cu py the first half hour, essays an d general discussions fol low, after w h ic h a brief time is spent in social enjoyment. This meeting constitutes o n e of the m o s t attractive features of our S e m i n a r y life. S T U D E N T P R E A C H I N G — M e m b e r s of the Middle and Senior classes have frequent opportunities to preach in our mission churches a n d w h e r e a special service is needed. T h e

assignment of students for such purposes is left b y the General S y n o d with the Faculty, w h o will endeavor to afford all the students an opportunity to preach. It will greatly facilitate our effort if the churches needing such supplies will apply directly to the president of the Faculty. ■ D u r i n g the s u m m e r vacation students m a y be assigned to mission fields, thus enabling t h e m to acquire experience in conducting church w o r k as well as supplement their o w n income.

Historical T h e intention of the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h to establish E d u cational Institutions w h i c h w o u l d provide for her y o u n g people in the rapidly g r o w i n g west, found expression in H o p e College. This w a s incorporated in the year 1866. S even m e m b e r s of the graduating class petitioned the General S y n o d for permission to continue their theological studies at the College. S y n o d granted the request an d arranged for the professors of the College to give the necessary instruc tion. In 1867 the Rev. Cornelius E. Crispell w a s formally elected “Professor of Didactic and Polemic T h e o l o g y at H o p e College,” a n d with assistance f r o m the other professors he w a s directed to give theological instruction in connection with his duties in the College. F o r a supervising body. S y n o d divided its B o a r d of Superintendents of the S e m i n a r y at N e w Brunswick, w h ich w a s c o m p o s e d of o n e delegate for each Classis throughout the Church, into an Eastern and W e s t e r n Section, the W e s t e r n to have charge of theology at H o p e College. ■ Its w o r k w a s greatly embarrassed b y the lack of mo n e y , a n d its relation to the S y n o d w a s not according to the tra ditions of the Church. This finally led to a suspension of T h e o l o g y in 1877, S y n o d at the s a m e time emphatically as

suring the western churches it w o u l d gladly restore the school as soon as e n d o w m e n t could be secured. . In 1884, this requirement having been met, main,ly through the sacrifice of the western churches. S y n o d elected the Rev. Nicholas M . Steffens as Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology, with the Rev. Peter M o e r d y k e a n d the Rev. H e n r y K. D o s k e r as t e mporary Lectors. In 1885 a further advance w a s m a d e and the complete independence of the S e m i n a r y .established b y the appoint m e n t of a B o a r d of Superintendents, a Faculty under direct supervision of the Synod, a n d a course of study similar to that in the S e m i n a r y at N e w Brunswick. In 1888 the General S y n o d established a Professorship of Biblical L a n g u a g e s a n d Literature an d elected the Rev. Dr. John- VV. Beardslee to that position. In 1894 the General S y n o d established a Professorship of Ecclesiastical Plistory and elected the Rev. H e n r y E. D o s k e r to that position. Hitherto the S e mi n a r y had n o h o m e an d occupied very unsuitable r o o m s in a building on the College C a m p u s , ori ginally built as a residence for Professor Oggel, but in 1895 G o d m o v e d the heart of Mr. Peter Semelink,of the Vriesland Church, to erect a fine brick building, furnished with m o d e r n conveniences, and containing excellent lecture rooms, a C hapel a n d a r o o m for a Library. This at once settled all questions as to the future of the Seminary, an d gave a n e w impetus to its progress. This building is situated in the center of a large lot on the south side of Twelfth street, directly opposite the College C a m p u s and facing the n e w g y m n a s i u m a n d V a n Raalte M e m o r i a l Hall, a site beautiful in itself an d historically interesting because o n it stood the “O r p h a n H o us e , ” erected in the beginning of the colony as a h o m e for children w h o s e parents died soon after reaching the settlement. T h e maintenance a n d support of this property has been

provided for in part b y the i n co m e of a donation of three thousand dollars f r o m the generous d o no r of the Hall.

Fund, to w hich nearly all the Churches in the west devote an annual free-will offering. O u t of this fund the salary of the Professor of Practical T h e o l o g y is paid an d it also provides for whatever deficits m a y occur in the i n c o m e f r o m the e n d o w m e n t .

thoroughly indexed and arranged so as to be easily accessible to our students. But w e have so small an e n d o w m e n t that w e are unable to secure the n e w books an d periodicals which ought to be placed before the students as soon as they appear.
