The College Foundation T h e debt of this institution to the enterprising, zealous a n d capable leader of the colonists w h o settled in W e s t e r n M i c h i g a n in 1847, the Rev. Albertus C. V a n Raalte, D. D., will a l w a y s be cheerfully a c kn o w l e d g e d .

A m a n of fine Christian culture a n d superior scholarship, h e w a s profoundly i m p r e s s e d with the conviction that, ne xt to the church, this g r o w i n g c o m m u n i t y n e e d e d for its proper d e v e l o p m e n t a school for higher Christian e d u ­ cation.

N o time w a s lost in f r a m i n g m e a s u r e s looking t o w a r d the realization of this w o r t h y ideal. B y the hearty co-operation a n d heroic sacrifices of the sturdy pioneers w h o m h e h a d b r o u g h t here to s u b d u e the primeval forest, the foundation of the prop o s e d educational s c h e m e w a s laid as early as 1851.

W h e n , later, the churches organized a m o n g the pio­ neers in W e s t e r n M i c h i g a n b e c a m e affiliated with the R e ­ f o r m e d C h u r c h in A m er i c a , their school w a s placed u n ­ der the care of the General S y n o d a n d received f r o m that b o d y strong e n c o u r a g e m e n t , wi se counsel a n d s u b s t a n ­ tial help.

In 1857 H o ll a n d A c a d e m y w a s organized, w h i c h g r e w apace, a n d in 1866 b e c a m e k n o w n as H o p e College, regularly chartered u n d e r the la ws of the State of Michigan.

D u r i n g the nearly fifty years of its history, H o p e College h a s enjoyed a healthy a n d continuous growth.

It h a s long since p a ss e d out of the experimental a n d p r o ­

vincial stage, ha s t aken h i g h r a n k in scholarship a m o n g the d e no m inational colleges of our country, a n d is serving a constantly e x p a n d i n g a n d increasingly influ­ ential constituency. Dr. H a r p e r h a s said; “ T h e institu­ tion w h i c h ha s survived the trials a n d tribulations of early years, a n d w h i c h b y this survival h a s justified its existence not only to its constituency but to the w orld at large, deserves to live.”

H o p e College h a s established itself m o r e a n d m o r e firmly a n d p e r f o r m e d a constantly larger a n d better service.

D u r i n g the past d e c a d e the n u m b e r of its students ha s increased o n e h u n d r e d per cent.

It points with p a rd onable pride to the graduates that h a v e b e c o m e diplomats in the service of the K i n g of k i ng s in p a g a n lands, to those w h o o c c u p y p r o m i n e n t pulpits in ou r o w n country, to those w h o h a v e g ained distinction in the healing art or in the practice of law, to those w h o fill important chairs in academies, colleges, theological seminaries a n d state universities, a n d n o less to the r a n k a n d file w h o perf o r m unostentationaly but faithfully a n d effectively the ordinary duties belonging to professional, c o m m e r c i a l a n d industrial occupations.

H o p e College h a s a l w a y s r e m a i n e d true to its tradi­ tions a n d respected the exalted p u r p o s e of its founders.

It a i m s to provide a b r oad a n d t h or o u g h cultural training leading u p to the Bachelor of Arts degree a n d affording a strong foundation for future professional studies.

It takes a broad outlook u p o n life a n d provides a c o m p r e ­ hensive a n d well-balanced curriculum. D u e attention is g iven to the scientific a n d m o d e r n l a n g u a g e courses, while the time-honored a n d a p p r o v e d classical studies are given deserved prom i n e n ce . It s eeks to k e e p abreast of the times a n d to meet, so f.ar as- it can consistently, the d e m a n d s of c h a n g i n g industrial, social a n d e c o n o m i c conditions.

A s a Christian college it applies itself to the s y m ­ metrical d e v e l o p m e n t of body, m i n d a n d spirit, a c kn o w l -

e d ge s its debt to the world at large, holds u p before the students the ideal of Christian leadership, a n d strives to s e n d t h e m forth with a holy ambition to serve well their d a y a n d generation.

■ T h e educational s c h e m e of H o p e College comprises: ■ 1. H o p e Preparatory School.

S o m e of the d e n o m i ­ national colleges of the state h a v e b e e n led to a b a n d o n their preparatory d e p a r t m e n t beca u s e of the' fuller devel­ o p m e n t a n d the g r o w i n g popularity of the hi gh schools as part of the public school system.

W h i l e the value of the h i g h school is fully recognized, there are certain i m ­ portant features that differentiate H o p e Preparatory S chool f r o m the hi gh schools of the state, to w h i c h w e invite the earnest attention of parents w h o s e children h a v e successfully c o m p l e t e d the eighth g r ade of the p u b ­ lic schools. A t that stage of their educational a d v a n c e ­ m e n t a n d during the years of adolescence, w h e n m i n d a n d heart are m o s t impressionable, w h e n character is forming, w h e n plans for their future are taking shape, b o y s a n d girls require the personal supervision, the m o r e select association, the inspiration a n d stimulus of the u p p e r class m e n , the m o r e c o mp l e t e laboratory e q uip­ m e nt , the religious a t m o s p h e r e a n d training, the thor­ o u g h n e s s a n d all-roundness of instruction w h i c h Pfope Preparatory S chool a i m s to provide.

Instead of enter­ taining the t h o u g h t of a b a n d o n i n g it, the a i m of the a d ­ ministration is to m a k e the Preparatory School still m o r e valuable, so that its distinctive a d v a n t a g e s shall be cheerfully recognized a n d duly appreciated. F o r a n out­ line of the courses offered a n d other information,see the detail of courses of T h e Preparatory School. .2. T h e College. ' T h e college is n a m e d s e c o n d onlj' beca u s e that is its chronological a n d logical order. It is a d e v e l o p m e n t of H o ll a n d A c a d e m y ; but s u c h is its posi­ tion a n d r a n k to-day that its im po r t a n ce is p a r a m o u n t .

Its increasing n u m b e r of students is supplied b y H o p e

Preparatory School a n d the other a c a d e m i e s established b y the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h , as well as b y the h i g h schools of M i c h i g a n a n d other states.

In the College five g r o u p s of studies are offered in s u c h a w a y as to afford the a d v a n t a g e s of the elective s y s t e m without its d i sa d v antages a n d to c o m b i n e with electives those requirements which, in a n y of the groups, m a k e for a well-rounded d e v e l o p m e n t a n d a preparation for later life in the professions or in c o m m e r c i a l a n d in­ dustrial pursuits, ft is felt that in these five groups, modified as individual conditions d e m a n d , there is in­ sured the d e v e l o p m e n t of a refined sense a n d aesthetic taste, a practical utility in the life a n d affairs of a pr o ­ gressive world, a m a n l y character a n d a loyal citizenship.

A s u rv e y of these g r o u p s 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 electives are offered as the course progresses to ensure all the benefits of the elective system.

B y c h o o s i n g the purely p e d a ­ gogic studies as th ey are described u n d e r the statement of w o r k in Education, a student enrolled in a n y of the five g r o u p s m a y fit himself for teaching a n d obtain the M i c h i g a n State T e a c h e r s Certificate without further n o r ­ m a l school attendance.

T h e Preparatory School T h e Preparatory School a i m s to be exactly w h a t its n a m e indicates. It seeks to prepare for college entrance, for professional schools a n d for commercial, industrial, social a n d h o m e life in a country of democratic institu­ tions.' T h e a c a d e m i e s a n d preparatory schools of fifty years a g o a i m e d at college preparation only.

VV'e h a v e o u t g r o w n this stage. T h e progress a n d wealth of the n a ­ tion are m a k i n g it possible for b o y s a n d •girls to se ek further culture a n d training b e y o n d that of the p r i m a r y grades. Child labor la ws require that a b o y or girl be e n ­ g a g e d in school activities until his fourteenth or.si.steenth year. Besides this, m a n y a y o ut h is unable to “ find h i m ­ self” until the a p pr o a c h of y o u n g m a n h o o d .

T h e curri­ c u l u m of T h e Preparatory School ha s b e e n arranged to m e e t all these conditions.

T h e r e are several g r ou p s of varying nature.

T h e classical g r o u p affords a b road scholastic basis for a d v a n c e d collegiate work. It embraces.four years of Latin, t w o of Greek, three of English, three of m a t h e ­ matics, o n e a n d one-half of science, t w o a n d two-thirds of history a n d a sufficient n u m b e r of other courses to c o mp l e t e sixteen units of w ork. Ihis a m o u n t will a d m i t to a n y standard college or university w h i c h a d mi t s o n diploma. . .

T h e Latin g r o u p differs fr om the classical in substi­ tuting t w o years of G e r m a n for the G reek.

In standing it is in all respects equivalent to the classical group.

It h a s in m i n d especially those w h o are preparing for m e d i ­ cine, l a w or engineering. ^ T h e English g r o u p o m its the Latin a n d G r e e k a n d offers a m i n i m u m of four years of E nglish with a fifth

year as a n elective a n d substitutes history a n d G e r m a n for Latin but corresponds in other respects to the fore­ g o i n g groups.

T h e n o r m a l g r o u p offers w o r k in peda g o g i cs a n d re­ views. It k e ep s in close touch with grade school require­ m e n t s a n d a i m s to prepare the student for teaching in g r ad e work. T h e instructor in c harge seeks to supply the student with w o r k at the close of his course but will not r e c o m m e n d a n y w h o h a s not ma in t a i n ed an average of eighty-five percent in all of his studies. . ” T h e science g r o u p offers a total of three years of sci­ e n c e w o r k in addition to Latin a n d G e r m a n as they are required in the Latin g r o u p a n d the other general require­ m e n t s of all the groups.

Students w h o desire a general course covering on e ye ar or m o r e are provided for u n d e r the direction of the C o m m i t t e e o n Stud e n t Direction. T h e y m u s t in all cases maintain the standards of a n y regular student a n d their w o r k differs only in that it covers shorter periods of time a n d m a y be taken u p at a n y time, provided the student is prepared to take the subject. N o d i p l o m a is granted to -special students. ' .

Especial attention is called to the e l em e n t of s u per­ vision. E v e r y pupil w h o enters T h e Preparatory School is g r o u p e d with not m o r e than nine others a n d is given the constant supervision of a n individual m e m b e r of the faculty with w h o m h e is advised to confer at a n y time with respect to his scholarship, his studies, his h o u s i n g a n d all other questions pertaining to the life of a student.

T h e m e m b e r of the faculty w h o h a s c harge of a g r o u p is required to report on ce a m o n t h o n the standing of every m e m b e r of the group, to w a t c h his progress a n d to k e e p in per.sonal touch with the student.

This in.structor, the registrar a n d the C o m m i t t e e o n Stud e n t Direction consti­ tute a c o m m i t t e e o n vocational g u id a n c e w h o carefully

safeguard all the interests of the pupil, both for his school d a y s and, insofar as possible, for the future.

T h e m o ra l life of ea ch individual student is g u a r d e d very carefull3'. T h e rules of the school are very few,— covering only s u c h things as a healthy Christian culture d e e m s proper.

Religious education is offered every stu­ dent for the d e v e l o p m e n t of forceful character a n d g o o d citizenship.

All the social m e e t i n g s of the student are u n d e r the supervision of the faculty a n d n o practices are permitted w h i c h d o not lead to fineness a n d delicacy of instinct a n d character.

T h e r e is a w i d e r a ng e of social activities in all the aspects of student life a n d the faculty se ek to assist in the social d e v e l o p m e n t of the pupil.

Fraternities a n d sororities are not allowed u p o n the c a m ­ p u s but the social e n d s s o u g h t b y t h e m are attained in every respect thro the literary societies a n d private e n ­ tertainments. T h e literary societies provide for enter­ tainment, contests, public rehearsals a n d forensic prac­ tice. Private w o r k in elocution a n d m u s i c is offered.

T h e g y m n a s i u m is u n d e r the care of an e.xperienced, practicing pli3'sician w h o is at the s a m e time a m e m b e r of the faculty. W h e n the director d e e m s it necessary, the student is advised to seek the care of his famil 3' p h y ­ sician. T h e high m o ra l tone w h i c h the faculty insist shall prevail u p o n the c a m p u s prevents all those ills a n d errors w h i c h are apt to be c o m m o n a m o n g u n g u i d e d youth.

■ In every w a y the u t m o s t care is b e s t o w e d u p o n the student's d e v e l o p m e n t as a n individual but n o set ideals are placed before h i m into w h i c h h e is co mp e l l e d to c r a m p himself regardless of his capacities a n d wishes.

T h e standard of scholarship is m a intained without exception. Sixteen units of w o r k is required before a di­ p l o m a is granted. A unit is o n e h o u r of daily w o r k each w e e k during a term. F o u r h o urs of w o r k are required of

all regular students; special students m a y t<ake less u n ­ der the g u id a n c e of the C o m m i t t e e o n Stud e n t Direction.

A matter of great i m portance is a n a r r a n g e m e n t of the schedule w h er e b y , if a pupil w ishes to o c c u p y a part of his time in gainful occupations, h e ca n place his class w o r k in the m o r n i n g hours a n d be free for gainful e m ­ p l o y m e n t thereafter.

All s u c h a r r a n g e m e n t s are u n d e r the supervision of the C o m m i t t e e o n Stud e n t Direction a n d a student is not allowed to take m o r e subjects than his ability a n d his. time permit.

This a r r a n g e m e n t of h o urs also permits pupils a l ong the trolley lines to live at h o m e . T h e s e non-resident pupils are u n d e r the care of a m e m b e r of the faculty w h o s e e.xperience a n d study a l ong these lines m a k e h i m well qualified to guide the pupil.

• T h e tuition fees are m e r e l y nominal,— six dollars a term, payable in advance at the beginning of each term. This covers all e x p e n s e s e.xcept g y m n a s i u m fee, graduation fee a n d laboratory fee. Th is small a m o u n t for tuition is m a d e possible only b y the fact that H o p e College a n d T h e Preparatory School are supported b y the friends of T h e R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in America. In this w a y a training s e co n d to that of n o n e of the best private a n d select schools in A m e r i c a is a i m e d at a n d the education of all y o u t h w h o desire it for-the highest usefulness as citizens a n d the highest character as individual m e n a n d w o m e n is offered.

A D V A N T A G ES O F F E R E D ' ■ Besides the a d v a n t a g e s of location, e a s y c o m m u n i c a ­ tion a n d ine.xpensive living, it is believed H o p e College m a y justly call attention to equally important a d v a n t a g es of a very different nature. It is a chartered institution incorporated u n d e r the laws of the state a n d legally e n ­ titled to grant certificates a n d di p l o m a s a n d to confer d e ­ grees.

T h e classes are not so large as to preclude the per­ sonal acquaintance, contact a n d influence of ea ch m e m ­ ber of the Faculty with eyery student c o m i n g u n d e r his instruction. Classes w h i c h n u m b e r m o r e than ca n be cared for b y o n e instructor are divided into sections.

Th is personal element, m a d e possible in a smaller insti­ tution, is a factor of great educational value both morally a n d intellectually a n d parents are apt to consider it in m a k i n g choice of a n institution.

H o p e College is not a local institution. Its students represent an extensive territory, e x t e n d i n g east as far as the state of N e w Y o r k a n d w e s t as far as the Pacific, T h e students are, in the m a in, f r o m a m o n g the best pupils f r o m m a n y public schools a n d in general possess a hi gh order of ability a n 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 c o m ­ panions, inviting their fellows to friendly competition a n d industrious study.

It will be seen, therefore, that H o p e College offers a n d secures a regular liberal course of training as c o m ­ plete 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 d e p a r t m e n t s written e x a m i n a t i o n s are held at the close of ea ch term, or w h e n e v e r a subject is c o m ­ pleted. W h e n practicable, the e x a m i n a t i o n s at the close of the year or w h e n e v e r a b r an c h of s t udy is finished, cover the entire field of study.

T h e next e.xamination for ad mi s s i o n will be held the d a y before the n e w school year opens, viz., o n T u e s d a y , Sept. IS, 1914, at 9 A. M .

RELIGIOUS

EXERCISES

T h e exercises of ea ch d a y begin with prayer in W i ­ nants C h a p e l at 8 A. M . .

O n the S a b b a t h e v ery student is e.xpected to w o r s h i p regularly in o n e of the chur c h e s in the city or vicinity unless e x c u s e d b y the President.

Religious instruction is given in all the classes r e g u ­ larly and, like all the other studies, is in c h ar g e of the Faculty. .

A l t h o u g h H o p e College is d e no m i national a n d is u n ­ der the patronage a n d support of the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in A m er i c a , yet b y the l a w of its incorporation it c a n h a v e n o “ religious test.” T h e doors are o p e n to all regardless of religious or d e no m inational affiliations a n d w e l c o m e is given to all w h o s u b m i t to its scholastic regulations. A s a Christian school, howe v e r , 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 flour­ ishing condition, a n d continues to b e a great blessing to the students. It offers a splendid opportunity to secure Christian g r o w t h a n d to d o personal religious w o rk. U n ­ der the auspices of the Association several S u n d a y Schools, n u m b e r i n g h u n d r e d s of scholars, are c o nd ucted in the s u rr o u n d in g country. T h e students also support a w e e k l y prayer meeting, f r o m w h i c h the institution c o n ­ tinues .to reap m u c h spiritual fruit. T h e Y o u n g W o m e n ’.s

Christian Association is d o i n g excellent vyork along sim-' ilar lines of e n d e a v o r a n d in the attempt to e n c o u r a g e a n d inspire Christian living a m o n g . y o u n g w o m e n . ' A strong religious spirit is fo und a m o n g the students a n d G o d ha s 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 h a s naturally developed a d e e p in足 terest in Christian Missions. Mission Classes m e e t on ce every w e e k to s t udy the history a n d m e t h o d s of missions a n d m i ss ionary biographies relating m o r e particularly to the mission fields of our o w n Church.

LIBRARY T h e library, w h i c h n u m b e r s over 17,000 volumes, is o p e n every d a y a n d is free for the use of the students.

B o o k s a n d pamphlets, as well as m a g a z i n e s a n d papers, are constantly added.

T h e friends of H o p e College m a y b e assured that their gift.s of valuable b o o k s to the library will be taken care of a n d appreciated a n 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 m a g 足 nificent fire-proof library building.

In connection with the library is a reading r o o m in w h i c h are f o und m a n y b o o k s of reference a n d which, b y the liberality of Mr. W i n . 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 politics, religion, science a n d literature.

T h e s e m a y be consulted o n a n y d a 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 a n d completeness.

Do足 nations b y the graduates a n d friends of the institution, of m a p s , charts, instruments a n d s p e c i m e n s of natural history are solicited with the assurance that all s u c h will materially a d d to the efficiency of the work.

S O C I E T IE S N i n e Literary Societies are f o und in the Institution.

T h e Meliphone, the C osmopolitan, a n d the Fraternal h a v e b e e n m a in tained for years. T h e K n i c k e r b o c k e r for m e n a n d the Delphi for w o m e n are of m o r e recent o r g a n ­ ization.

T h e Ulfilas C l u b is d o i n g excellent w o r k in fostering the s t ud y of the D u t c h language. T h e M . S. a n d S. S. Societies are societies of the y o u n g la­ dies for the p u r p o s e of enjoying free discussion a n d o b ­ taining experience in co nd u c t i ng 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 b a se d u p o n w e a l t h , position or influence are tolerated. .

T h e Science C l u b is a n association for the a d v a n c e ­ m e n t of scientific s tudy a n 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 Science. Reports b a s e d u p o n scientific investi­ gations in Flurope a n d A m e r i c a are prepared b y t h e m e m bers. Progress in individual research at H o p e College is fostered a n d published.

M e e t i n g s are held at stated in­ tervals a n d the general field of scientific study, education a n d progress is considered.

W e h a v e n o G r e e k letter fraternities, w h i c h are very often e x pensive to the students a n d are apt to divide t h e m into discordant classes. A s the student life is large­ ly the formation period of the professional m a n ’s 'char­ acter, 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 m e n , irrespective of classes, it is therefore desirable that a democratic spirit should characterize the Christian college.

Moreover, plain, e c onomical living is encouraged, in order that the y o u n g , not favored with a n a b u n d a n c e of this w o r l d ’s goods, m a y be able to acquire a liberal education. In our

opinion fraternities a n d chapterhouses d o not lead to su ch m o d e of living as w e desire for our students.

PUBLICATIONS . C o n n e c t e d with the institution t w o religious weeklies are published, De Hope a n d The Leader. T h e first w a s es­ tablished in 1866 a n d is u n d e r the direction of the C o u n ­ cil thro u g h its Editorial C o m m i t t e e . It ha s a circulation of s o m e 3,000 copies.

FEES,

EXPENSES,

ETC.

T h e a i m constantly ke pt 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 e d u ­ cational facilities of the m o s t m o d e r n a n d a p pr o v e d type a n d with a life of refinement 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 H o l l a n d a n d its vicinity h a s b e c o m e in the last fifteen years a n d in n o college of equal standing with H o p e College can a student live as inexpensively a n d as w h o l e s o m el y . , T h e r e are n o regular tuition fees. A nominal, inci­ dental fee of eight dollars in the College a n d si.x dollars in the Preparatory School is c h a r g e d ea ch term.

These fees must be paid in advance at the time of registration. L a b o r ­ atory fees cover only the actual cost of apparatus a n d material u s e d b y ea ch individual student. A s these vary with ea ch 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, which must be paid immediately after the student is admitted to candidacy for the degree.

In the G y m n a s i u m a n o m i n a l fee to cover rental of lockers a n d incidental e x p e n s e s is the only official charge.

IXxpenses connected with t e a m a n d club or special w o r k are m e t by'the students e n g a g i n g in the w o r k a n d the a m o u n t e.xpended lies w h o l l y within the pleasure of the student. T h e Faculty discountenances all ill-advised or u n n e c e s s a r y e.xpenses.

All interschool athletics during t e r m are prohibited b y the Facultj', mainlj' on the g r o u n d of the extravagant costs s o m e t i m e s c o nnected with su ch w o r k a n d w h a t m a y be t e r m e d the financial m orale of s u c h contests. G a m b l i n g , betting a n d similar practices are absolutely forbidden a n d w e are glad to sa y that u p to the present time the student-body at H o p e College is united in c o n d e m n i n g these questionable practices.

A k e e n spirit of rivalry, looking to m a n l y a n d friendly c o n ­ test in scholarship, oratory a n d physical e.xcellence, is p r o m o t e d b y Faculty a n d students alike, .

T h e cost of living u p o n the c a m p u s is c orresponding­ ly lovv. Limited dormitory a c c o m m o d a t i o n s are provided for m e n students a n d r o o m s are rented at a cost barely cov’ering the e.xpenses of light a n d fuel. T h e r e are t w e n ­ ty-six r o o m s in V a n V l e c k Hall a n d O g g e l H o u s e , in the selection of w h i c h students looking t o w a r d the Christian ministry h a v e the preference.

T h e s e are furnished in part. Bo th buildings are lighted bj' electricity a n d V a n V l e c k Hall is heated b y 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 V o o r h e e s Hall. T h e building lighted b y elec­ tricity a n d heated b y steam, is capable of h o u s i n g on e h u n d r e d girls. It is equi p p e d 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 a n d toilets, individual lavatories, reception parlors a n d dining

r ooms. 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 ­ tions at V o o r 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 of the city varies fr om fifty cents per w e e k without heat to three dollars per w e e k with heat a n d light.

W h i l e the Council a n 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 e.xcept in the require­ m e n t that all conditions shall be strictly in k e e p i n g with refined a n d m o ra l living. Life u p o n the C a m p u s is, in the long run, the m o s t satisfactory, a n d parents will find that their children are best provided for in this way.

A c c o m m o d a t i o n s for board are provided in the D i n i n g 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 .

The price of board is $3.00 per w e e k . D a y students are c h a r g e d t w e n t y cents per m e a l or fifty cents per day.

T h e h o m e plan of regular m e a l s at stated hours is at present followed arid in this w a y over o n e h u n d r e d stu­ dents m a y be a c c o m m o d a t e d .

A tabular estimate of e x p e n s e s is given herewith w h i c h does not include clothing a n d travel as these m u s t necessarily vary with ea ch individual.

This estimate is b a se d 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 S u n d r i e s .... 20.00 .

----- $180.00 T h e a b o v e 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 e x p e n s e of s o m e of the students exce e d s this a m o n n t ; s o m e , however, s p e n d 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 thro u g h college.

Y o u n g people of noble aspirations but of limited m e a n s ne ed 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 h a v e c o m e a great distance seek i n g an education.

S u c h as these are in earnest, content with plain living, and, b y practic­ ing the e c o n o m i e s that are possible in this place, s u c ­ ceed in reducing their e.xpenses within very n a r r o w limits.

M a n y parents h a v i n g children to educate find it to their a d v a n t a g e to c o m e to the city to live.

T o s u c h it m a y be truthfully said that H o l l a n d is a growing, enter­ prising city^— o n e of the m o s t prosperous a n d beautiful in Michigan. W i t h its b r oad a n d s h a d y streets, its w a ter works, a n d its electric illumination, H o l l a n d is equally well a dapted to the. life of quiet retirement a n d to that of the active business m a n . . .Trolley lines fr om Holland to .Saugatuck a n d G r a n d R a p i d s a n d all intervening points enable students living a l ong these lines to c o m e in for the day, a n d thus materi­ ally reduce expenses.

D I S C I P L I N E It is gratifying to observe that the m o ra l a n d spiritual tone of the students is s u c h that the m atter of discipline is reduced to a m i n i m u m . General opinion is o n the side of right a n d reasonableness, a n d lends its powerful s u p ­ port to the interest of g o o d order a n d efficient work.

It is the a i m of H o p e College to develop this hi gh m o r a l culture a n d character of the student n o less than to a d ­ v a n c e his intellectual d e velopment.

In general, however, if it appears that students d o not i m p r o v e their time a n d opportunities, or d o not c o n ­ duct t h e m s e l v es in a respectable a n d orderly m a n n e r , their connection with the institution is susp e n d e d; or if it should be f o und after d u e probation a n d inquiry, that the influence of a student is b a d a n d injurious to others,

the right is exercised of requiring the withdrawal of s u c h a student.

A record is kept of the scholastic standing of each student a n d a c o p y of the s a m e is sent to the parents or guardian at the close of each term. If the average s t an d ­ ing does not e.xceed 70 o n a basis of 100, h e is d r o p p e d f r o m his class.

All students are required to be present, p r o m p t l y o n the first d a y of each a n 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 a n d r o o m rent are to-be paid strictly in ad­ vance; a n y student w h o violates this rule forfeits his right to continue in the institution after o n e m o n t h ’s grace.

D a n c i n g a n d card playing are prohibited, as is also the u s e of tobacco o n the College C a m p u s .

Parents living at a distance are requested not to a s k or expect their children to c o m e h o m e during t e r m time.

It seriously interferes with proper habits of study, a n d b y o u r rules n o n e is to be absent from the institution w i t h ­ out permission of the President.

M U S E U M A m o n g the treasures of the M u s e u m are replica m a r b l e s of V e n u s d e Milo a n d Aja.x, the gifts of Dr. J o n ­ a t han A c k e r m a n Coles, of N e w York. B o t h are imported original-size busts of e.xquisite w o r k m a n s h i p in c o p y i n g a n d in detail. T h e y are m o u n t e d u p o n m a rb l e pedestals w h i c h are also the gifts of Dr. Coles. W e are rarely for­ tunate in the possession of these "statues a n d deeply grateful'to the d o n o r for his gifts, a n d m o r e than all for the kindly interest in H o p e College w h i c h p r o m p t e d h i m in presenting t h em .

c h as e of a bust of W a s h i n g t o n , to be offered as a prize to students presenting the best oration o n a patriotic s u b ject. The. first contest lield u p o n the Coles F o u n d a t i o n took place M a y 30, 1907, in C a rn e g i e G y m n a s i u m ; the second, Feb. 22, 1910; the third took place Feb. 22, 1913..

In addition to these the M u s e u m ha s b e e n enriched re­ cently b y gifts fr om Rev. A. L. W a r n s h u i s , '97; J. J. Banninga, ’98; H . V. S. Peeke, ’87; H . G. Keppel, ’89; W n i .

H o p e College is grateful to the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in A m er i c a , w h o s e s h e is a n d w h o m she so loyally serves b y the m e n she is furnishing its ministry, both in the d o m ­ estic a n d foreign field, a n d with w h o m she is a u g m e n t ­ ing the r anks of Christian m a n h o o d in all w a l k s of life.

H o p e College is grateful to loyal a n d liberal friends w h o here invest their m o n e y , not in d e a d a n d fleeting things, but in brain a n d character a n d souls of m e n . B e assured, n o w h e r e else will y o u r well-earned m o n e y j'ield larger returns; in n o other w a y c a n y o u render better ser­ vice for y o u r c h ur c h a n d for y o u r country.

W i t h s u c h e n c o u r a g e m e n t s as these H o p e College feels hopeful for the future. S h e will try still to deserve y o u r favor a n d y o u r liberality.

Y o u h a v e y o u n g friends — continue to s e n d us their n a m e s , if they are studious a n d deserving, a n d especially the n a m e s of s u c h as are not likely otherwise to receive a liberal education.

C O N T R I B U T I O N S G e n e r o u s a n d noble-hearted friends h a v e 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 e.xistence a n d prosperity to the kind help of s u c h 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.

T h e College is still in n e e d of e n d o w m e n t s of profes­ sorships a n d a dormitory for y o u n g m e n . H e r e is a n o p ­ portunity for philanthropists w h o h a v e an honorable a m ­ bition to connect their n a m e s p e r m a n e n t l y with a n insti­ tution that has long ceased to be a n e.xperiment a n d w h i c h prom i s e s to b e c o m e a n increasing p o w e r for g o o d in C h u r c h a n d State.

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 M i d d l e a n d Senior classes h a v e frequent opportunities to preach in our mission chur c h e s a n d w h e r e special service is needed. T h e a s s i g n m e n t of students'for s u c h purposes is left b y the Gene r a l S y n o d with the Faculty, w h o will e n de a v o r to afford all the students a n opportunity to preach. It will greatly facilitate our effort if the churches n e e d i n g s u c h supplies will a p ply directly to thepresident of the Faculty.

D u r i n g the s u m m e r vacation students m a y be a s ­ signed to mission fields. In this w a y they are enabled to acquire experience in cond u c t i ng c h u r c h w o r k as well as s u p p l e m e n t their o w n income. ' P R O F E S S O R A T E . — The intention ' of the R e ­ f o r m e d C h u r c h to establish Educational 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 W e s t , f o un d expression in H o p e College, w h i c h w a s incorporated in the year 1866.

S e v e n m e m b e r s of the first graduating class peti­ tioned the G eneral S y n o d for permission tocotitinue their theological studies at the College. S y n o d •g ranted the request a n d arranged for the Professors of the College to give the necessary instruction. In 1867 the Rev. Cornelius

E. Crispell w a s formally elected “ Professor of Didactic a n d Polemic T h e o l o g y at H o p e College,” a n d with a s ­ sistance f r o m the other professors he w a s directed to give theological instruction in connection with his duties in the College.

Its w o r k w a s greatly e m b a r r a s s e d b y the lack of m o n e y , a n d its relation to the S y n o d w a s not according to the traditions of the Chur c h . This finally led to a s u s ­ pension of T h e o l o g y in 1877, the S y n o d at the s a m e time emphatically assuring the western churches it ' w o u l d gladly restore the school as so on as e n d o w m e n t could be secured.

In 1884, e n d o w m e n t for o n e professorship h a v i n g be en secured, m a i n l y thro u g h the sacrifice of the western churches. S y n o d elected the late Rev. Dr. Nicholas M .

Fo r nearly thirty years the S e m i n a r v h a d n o h o m e but occupied t w o very unsuitable r o o m s in a building o n the College C a m p u s , originally built as a residence for Professor Oggel. But in 1895 G o d m o v e d the heart of Mr. Peter S e m e l i n k , of the Vriesland church, to erect a fine brick building, n o w k n o w n as the “ S e m e l i n k F a m i l y Hall,” furnished with m o d e r n conveniences, a n d containing five excellent lec­ ture r o o m s a n d a c o m m o d i o u s chapel.

T H E L I B R A R Y . T h e n e w Library building is n o w c o m p l e t e d a n d o p e n for use. Its d i m e n s i o n s are about forty eight b y fifty four feet.

It ha s a b a s e m e n t well lighted a n d provided with book-shelves for-the storageof a large n u m b e r of books. T h e walls a b o v e g r o u n d h a v e five feet of cut stone, about thirteen feet of pressed brick, finished with r o u g h surface a n d of a soft red color, w h i c h stands in strong a n d pleasing contrast with the h e a v y stone cornice a n d b a s e m e n t walls below.

Within is a wide hall h a v i n g o n o n e side a large reading r o o m

with reference library, including the leading theological encyclopedias a n d maga z i n e s, besides general w o r k s of reference. O n the opposite side of the hall is a r o o m d e ­ signed for research w o r k a n d c o m m i t t e e meetings. T h e s e r o o m s as well as their furniture are of solid oak.

Back of t h e m is the stack-room with shelf-room for about 25,000 v o l u m e s a n d so arranged as to a d mi t of a s econd story for shelves w h e n necessary.

A l r e a d y about 10,000 b o o k s are o n the shelves W i t h card catalogues a n d other facilities for consultation. T h e students also h a v e free access to the large library of H o p e College, a n d to the public library of the city of Holland.

DORMITORY. T h e c o m m o n life of the S e m i n a r y finds its fullest realization in the n e w dormitory, a splendid building of brick a n d stone standing o n the highest part of the c a m p u s .

A l o n g both the first a n d s e co n d stories of either side of the building exte n d s a broad porch. T h e spacious entrance hall is fitted with wall seats bene a t h the stairs. A t right a n d left are the t w o reception r o o m s w h i c h with the hall b e t w e e n fo rm a n ideal gathering place for the students a n d their friends.

H e r e are tables a n d newspapers.

T h r o u g h o u t the build­ ing the w o o d w o r k is of oak, the floors of maple.

There are thirty student rooms, four of w h i c h are arranged en suite for the joint o c c u p a n c y of t w o students.

These r o o m s are large, e a c h with its artistic table, s t udy chair a n d rocker a n d b o o k c a s e built in the wall. In each r o o m is a n alcove, to w h i c h both hot a n d cold water are piped.

In the b a s e m e n t there is a large r o o m to be equipped with g y m n a s t i c apparatus, a n d both s h o w e r a n d tub baths are provided.

T h e corridors are r o o m y , well lighted a n d ventilated. ^ P O W E R PLANT. T h e physical usefulness of the S e m i n a r y is m u Âť h e n h a n c e d b y the P o w e r Plant, a neat red brick building w h e r e s t e a m is generated a n d piped to

all the buildings a n d w h e r e the electric light a n d w a ter s y s t e m s h a v e their center. This saves the other build­ ings m u c h noise a n d dirt, a n d greatly diminishes the fire risk.

RESOURCES. T h e S e m i n a r y desires to see its teaching force supported partly f r o m the i n c o m e of a limited e n d o w m e n t , a n d partly b y the a n n u a l contribu­ tions of chur c h e s a n d friends.

In accordance with this idea a n e n d o w m e n t h a s b e e n secured for the three professorships first organized, a m o u n t i n g to thirty t h o u s a n d dollars for e a c h chair. A n e n d o w m e n t of ten t h o u s a n d dollars h a s also b e e n secured for incidental expenses, a n d of o n e t h o u s a n d dollars for a Library fund.

Since the reestablishment of Theological Instruc­ tion at Holland, in 1884, all the m o n e y n e e d e d for the ■salaries of the Lectors temporarily e m p l o y e d a n d for the p a y m e n t in full of the salaries of the u n e n d o w e d a n d par­ tially e n d o w e d Chairs, h a s b e e n regularly provided fr om the Salary F u n d , to w h i c h nearly all the C h u r c h e s in the W e s t devote a n a n nu a l free-will offering.

O u t of this fund the Salary of the Professor of Pr ac ­ tical T h e o l o g y is paid, a n d it also provides for w h a t e v e r 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 of the other professorships.

A s proof that this Salary F u n d is a living link b e ­ t w e e n the S e m i n a r y a n d the C h u r c h e s a n d justifies the w i s d o m of thus investing a part of our E n d o w m e n t in the affections of our constituency, it m a y b e stated that this F u n d ha s g r o w n f r o m $600 to the present i n c o m e of $1,800 annually, a n d that the a m o u n t given d uring these t w e n t y years to this F u n d , to s u p p l e m e n t the i n c o m e of the a n ­ nual E n d o w m e n t , n o w aggregates the g r a n d total s u m of $25,000.

NEEDS WAITING FOR RESPONSIVE FRIENDS:■ Endowment for the Fourth Professorship; Residences for our Professors; Increased Library Endowment.

T h e salary of the fourth professorship is n o w m e t fr om the contributions of the churches. A s soon as its e n d o w m e n t shall h a v e be en provided, these contributions ca n be u s e d to secure the services of a ’fifth professor.

Th is is imperatively necessary. A t present the teaching of both O l d a n d N e w T e s t a m e n t s is in the care of a single professorship.

T h e constant increase in ho us e h o l d e x p e n s e s m a k e s it necessary to secure suitable h o m e s for the Professors.

Friends of the S e m i n a r y o u g h t to take the matter into consideration.

O u r Library ha s m a d e an exceptional growth, t h r o u g h the thoughtful assistance of our m a n y friends. It is n o w thoroughly inde.xed u n d arranged so as to be easily ac­ cessible to our students. B u t w e h a v e so small an e n ­ d o w m e n t that w e are unable to secure n e w b o o k s a n d periodicals w h i c h o u g h t to be placed before the students as so on as they appear. This w e regard as o n e of the f u n d a m e n t a l requirements for securing a ministerial e d u ­ cation s u c h as the times d e m a n d . C a n w e look for the co-operation of our friends to secure this?
