N ote .— Special attention is given, during the whole of the Preparatory Course, to the gi - ammars of the Languages studied. F o r those w h o pursue only English studies, or w h o design stopping at the end of the “ A ” year, the Faculty pro ­ vide such ad ditional branche.s, as seem most expedient and profitable. A m o n g t h em m a y be n a m e d Physiology, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry, and Geology. Those generally m a k e better progress, whose time is fully occupied in the w o r k of the school. •


M iscellaneous Information , C O U R S E O F STUDY. In the Ac ad emi c Department, there is a partial rather than a special course. Studies m a y be omitted, but as yet others have not been substituted in their place, and such a parliial course entitles only to a certificate, not to a diploma. Mo s t - o f the students seek w h at is called “a liberal or classical education,” but a “ partial ” or “ elective” course is offered to all w h o so desire, and facilities furnished through the regular instructors. G e r m a n and French, or D r a w i n g and Painting can be studied at any time, as also the branches generally called “ scientific.” In 1878, the Institution was opened to w o m e n , and at once several yo un g ladies availed themselves of the privilege. T h e n u m b e r is increasing from year to year. T h e y enter the regular classes, and attend the same lectures and recita­ tions as the y o u n g men. Their homes will be with approved families in the city. . SCHOOL YEAR. T h e Scholastic Year of forty weeks, begins on the third W e d n e s d a y in September, and ends with the General C o m ­ m e n c e m e n t on the fourth W e d n e s d a y in June. T h e Winter and Spring vacations are fixed b y the Gener ­ al Faculty. (See the Calendar). EXAMINATIONS.

'

T h e Yearly Examinations, before the Council or its C o m ­ mittees, begin on the third AYednesday in June. A t other times, Special examinations m a y he held, and passed upon b y the respective Faculties, subject to the approval of Council or to a re-examination, if so desired.


DISCIPLINE. T h e Rules of Order are few and .simple. In general, if the students do not improve their time and opportunities, or do not conduct themselves in a respectful and orderly m a n ­ ner, their connection with the Institution will he suspended. R E L I G I O U S SERVICES. T h e exercises of each day begin with prayer in the Col ­ lege Chapel, at 8 o’clock a . m . O n the Sabbath, the students are expected to worship reg ­ ularly with one of the churches in the city or vicinity, unless excused b y the President. O n e of the Pastors of the R e f o r m e d Churches in Holland or vicinity, by appointment of the Council, gives religious instruction in the G r a m m a r School classes. Although ifdpe College is denominational, and is under the patronage and support of the R e f o r m e d Church in A m e r ­ ica, yet, b y the law of its incorporation, it can have no “ re­ ligious test.” T h e doors are open, and welcome is given to all w h o submit to its scholastic regulations. A s a Christian school, however, it inculcates gospel truths, and de m a n d s a consistent moral character and deportment. ' ' L I B R A R Y , ETC. A Library of over 6,000 volumes, and a Reading Room, are free for the use of students. Books and papers are being constantly added. T h e Laboratory, Cabinet and Philosophical Apparatus are adapted to the use of the recitation- or lecture-rooms. T h e y are gradually being m a d e larger and mo re complete. It is to be hoped that Maps, Charts, Instruments and Specimens of Natural Histoiy, as well as books, will be donated b y the graduates and friends of the Institution. SOCIETIES, ETC. || i|

T h e TAterary Societies, viz., the Meliphone and the Fraternal, have n o w been maintained for years, and offer decided advantages to their respective members; and materially aid


in the attainment of tliat culture which it is the object of this school to promote. During the year the y o u n g lady students have organized a society, called Zetalethean. T h e Y. M . C. A., a society of over forty members, has carried on its w o rk with m u c h interest and activity. Connected with the Institution, a religious weekly is p u b ­ lished, called De Mope.

A Course of Lectures, by the professors or others, is of al­ most yearly occurrence; usually at the invitation of one of the societies, and with the approval and financial aid of the E x ­ ecutive Committee. MUSIC. ■'

c; ­

^

Vocal Music is usually provided for. N o charge is m a d e for this. Lessons in Instrumental Atusic will be furnished, w h e n desired at the expense of the pupil. EXPENSES. Holland is surrounded b y a rich agricultural region, and the cost of living is comparatively cheap. G o o d board m a y be had in families of the city, for from two dollars to three dollars per week; and w i t h o u t f u r n i s h e d r o o m s at corres­ ponding rates. There are some rooms in the College building, in the se­ lection of which students for the ministry have the prefer­ ence. These are furnished in part, and bear a charge of five dollars a year. ' A s yet no t u i t i o n fees have been charged, but every .student must pay to the Treasurer, in advance, an i n c i d e n t a l fee of five dollars per term. T h e graduation fee is five dollars, and the cost of the diploma. N o other charges are made. Fo r books, clothing, washing, fuel, lights, travel, etc., those interested can best m a k e the e.stimates. T h e e n t i r e expenses need not exceed 8200 per annum.


L O C A T I O N , ETC. Holland City is a central point on the Chicago and W e s t Michigan Railway, ninety miles north of N e w Buffalo, twenty five miles southwest of Grand Rapids, and m i d w a y between Allegan and G r an d Haven. It is therefore most desirably lo­ cated having both land- and water-communications, and be ­ ing near the shore of La ke Michigan, with which it is directly connected liy M a c a t a w a Bay, itself a beautiful sheet of water. T h e College Buildings are eight in number. T h e largest is V a n Vleck Hall, maiidy devoted to Students’ rooms, and the Library. T h e grounds are beautifully located on a C a m p u s of eighteen acres, well shaded with native trees, and being annually improved in appearance. . R E oM A R K oS . It will he seen that w e have at present two Departments in operation. Steps are n o w being taken to revive the Theological D e ­ partment, the last General S y no d having r e c o m m e n d e d it, and m o re definite action will he taken by the next General Synod. O u r Library is rapidly increasing in the n u m b e r of vol­ umes and in value. It has already outgrown the rooms as­ signed it, and requires mo re ample quarters. A Library building is one of our pressing necessities. AA’^ith a spacious, fire-proof room, the collection would be safe and serviceable. Additions are being m a d e every year of valuable works, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. W h o will see that they have awaiting them a safe and cheerful room, where they can be consulted, and their precious treasures m a d e useful to our students? A n e w building for recitation rooms and similar purposes, is also a great de.sideratum, and it would be a most decided step in advance if such a Hall should adorn our beautiful Campus. This catalogue shows a larger attendance of students than in any former year. A list of the A c a d e m i c Alumni, up to 1883, will follow, and hereafter an annual Circular or Cata ­ logue will be published about the middle of each school year.

class of Rutgers College. He was succeeded for about one year, by Rev. F. B. Beidler, of South Bend, Indiana. APPOINTMENT OF REV. JOHN VAN VLECK.

T h e Boards of Education and Domestic Missions were instructed by the General Synod, in 1854, to unite in support­ ing a minister, w h o could at the same time “ preach the G o s ­ pel at Holland, and conduct the instruction of the A c a d e m y . ” Accordingly Rev. John V a n Vleck, of Shawangunk, N. Y., was appointed in 1855, upon his giaduation from the T h e o ­ logical Seminary at H e w Brunwick. Mr. V a n Vleck had rare qualifications for his work. H e separated the “ ecclesi­ astical g e r m ” spoken of; used for his classes the building k n o w n as the “ Orphan House,” and distinctly called his school the “ Holland Ac ad e m y . H e began with eighteen stu­ dents, two of w h o m were girls. This n u m b e r increased to thirty in 1857, and to a few more in 1858 and 1859. During this time Mr. V a n Vleck had charge of a preaching service in English. In 1857, Mr. A b r a h a m Th ompson, of H e w Brunswick, H. J., was sent as an assistant teacher, and upon his resignation, in 1858, Rev. Giles V a n D e W a l l succeeded him, to give aid in preaching, as well as in the Ac ad emj L I ■ THE FIRST BUILDING.

The donation of five acres for school purposes, has al­ ready been mentioned. This property was deeded to the General Synod. Additions were made to the plot by pur­ chase, until, in 1859, the premises of the Synod had become a beautiful campus of sixteen acres. In 1857, about Sl 2,000 had been secured, chiefly through the exertions of Dr. Van Raalte, and a brick edifice erected under the superintendance of Mr. Van Vleck, and now known as “Van Vleck Hall.” The building was of brick, three stories high, besides the basement, and 40x50 feet on the ground. To this house the school was removed, and for over a year a part of it was used as a Refectory. But in 1859, the ill health of Mr. Van Vleck forced him to resign his position. Hot only were his labors onerous, but obstacles were placed in his way, trying to


a sincere and earnest principal. Hu had done much to ad­ vance the school, and is worthy of grateful remembrance on the part of his pupils and others. AI’’ IOINTMEXT OF REV. PHILLIP PHELPS, .TR. I

Rev. Phillip Phelps, Jr., of Hastings, H. Y., was ap­ pointed by the Board of Education to sncceAl Mr. Van Vleck, and entered on his work in the fall of 1859. He found thir­ ty-three pupils in attendance. The regular organization of the school into classes, and some more formal and efficient plan of supurintendency by the Church, became his first care. Success crowned his efforts in both respects, and the progress of the Academy became more marked. In 1862, the number of students was forty-fivi-, divided into “Classical and Pri­ mary,” and in the following year the General Synod ap­ proved of and appointed the “Board of Superintendents.” In the fall of 1862, another decided step was taken. By the approval of the Western Classes, and the Synod of Chi­ cago, a “Collegiate Department” was introduced, and a “Freshman Class” of ten members was formed. From this time date the efforts to have a regular Cpllege incorporated, under the laws of Michigan, and these efforts culminated in the Institution as we have it to-day. The Board of Superinlendants continued; the four “Academic” classes entered in order upon their course; the General Synod recommended the C'Ollege in 1864, and its endowment in the Sum of §100,­ 000; the collection of funds was prosecuted with success East and AFest; needed steps were taken, and just before the gi-aduation of the first’class, in 1866, were organized the “Council,” Presidency, Faculty, and Departments of H o p e College. In the seven years, since 1859,'the number of stu­ dents h.ad increased from thirty-three to fifty. The gradu­ ating Senior class contained eight members. TEACHERS.

In the summer of 1861, Rev. Giles A^'an De AVall resigned, and ai'cepted a pastoral charge in South Africa. Several students aided the principal during the ne.vt two years. In


January, 1864, two n e w professors, vi/.:- Rev. Peter J. Oggel and Rev. T. Rorneyn Beck, having been appointed b y the Board of Education, entered upon their work. T h e former was, at the time of his appointment, pastor of the Re fo r m e d Church, of Pella, la., and the latter had been an assistant - Rev. John M. Ferris, of professor at Rutgers College, N. J. Grand Rapids, c a m e weekly from that place to give in­ struction in Rhetoric, Chemistry, &c. . H e resigned in 1865. Being thus assisted. Dr. Phelps could be absent more or less in soliciting e n d o w m e n t funds. Early in 1866' Rev. Charles Scott, of Shawangunk, N. Y., and so me wha t later. Rev. Cornelius E. Crispell, Professor in RutgersCollege, were ap ­ pointed and they accepted their appointments. Mr. Cornelis Doesburg, of Holland, Mich., \vas niade Tutor of the modern langmages. Thus, in July, 1866, and just before the “ C o m m e n c e m e n t ” of that year, a Faculty of six m e m ­ bers was formally constituted,'and Rev. Phillip Phelps, Jr., D. D., was inaugurated as the first President, bj^ a c o m m i t ­ tee of Synod appointed for that purpose. •

FUNDS.

Holland A c a d e m y had no endowment. For the proposed College, the amounts collected, up to 1866, were reported to be as follows, viz; (approximately) Collected by Prof. O g ­ gel in the West, §18,000; collected by Dr. Phelps, mainly in the East, §40.000. All mone ys were at first paid to the Board of Direction in N e w York, and then, by order of the Synod, the s u m of §30,000 was donated to the Council of the Col ­ lege, for the purpose of securing a legal incorporation from the State. In addition to this sum, the Council was vested with the use and benefit of all, the S y n o d ’s property in the village of Holland. A fair foundation was therefore laid for a prosperous “school of the Church.” Besides V a n Yleck Hall there were n o w on the Campus, three other buildings: ■ 1. A building, erected in 1857, first used as a “Labra tory” in 1867, m u c h improved in 1870. 2 . A residence, built for Rev. Mr. A^an de AVall, in .1860,


and occupied by Prof. Oggel in “Oggel House.”

This continued for twelve years,' or until July, 1878. From the incorporation of the College, in 1866, nothing can be given but a bare statement, year by year, of the main events in'the history of the Institution. ' 1866.— T h e newspaper called JDe Hope, was established,' under the editorship of Prof. P. J. Oggel. T h e first C o m ­ m e n c e m e n t wa s held July 17th. In September, Theological instruction began. T h e first class consisted of seven .m e m ­ bers, and the teaching was divided a m o n g the clerical m e m b e r s of the Faculty. 1867. Music Hall erected for recitation rooms. Profes­ sor C. E. Crespell, D. D., elected by General Synod, as “Pro­ fessor of Didactic and Polemic Theology at Hope College.” The other Professors appointed “Theological Lectors.” The Theological examinations placed under the care of a branch of “the Board of Superintendants of the Theological Semi­ nary.” Mr. W m . A. Shields, A. B., (class of 1866) appointed Tutor in the Grammar school. Rev. A. C. "Van Raalte deeded to the Council about eighty acres of land within the city limits. Thirty acres of this were afterwards laid out as “Hope College Addition.” A tract of thirteen acres pur­ chased at Indian Village on the south side of Black Lake. Point Superior, a tract of 837 acres, purchased on the north side of Macatawa Bay. Afterwards a portion of the land was improved and called “H o p e F a r m " the means be­ ing furnished by Mr. AVm. H. H. Moore.

.

1869. T h e “ Theological Department" formally consti­ tuted and recognized as General S y n o d ’s Theological S e m ­ inary in the AVest. T h e Superintendance of the same c o m ­ mitted •to the Council. A gift of $10,000 by Elder Ja me s


Suydani; one-half in pa ym e n t of debts, and one-half for c o m ­ pleting the purchase of Foint^Superior. Fo r this reason, the tract for so me time was called “S u y d a m Park.” Prof. P. J. Oggel died D e c e m b e r 13. Another structure erected, which afterwards had added to it a second story and a wing, and became k n o w n as the “ G r a m m a r School Building.” 1870. Richard Parsons, A. B., appointed tutor. Resigned in 1871. 1871. “A Constitution for the whole School,” adopted by the General Synod. Three regular Departments recognized, as also the .adjunct “ Public.atiou Department.” W m . A. Shields, A. M., m a d e Assistant Professor o'f Rhetoric and English Literature. Rev. Peter Moerdyk, A. M., (class of 18C8) elected as Assistant Professor of Latin and Greek. H e resigned in 1873, to take charge, of the First Re fo r m e d Church, of Gr an d Rapids, Mich. Gerrit J. Kollen, A. M., (class of 1868,) elected as Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Astronomy. T h e most of Holland de ­ stroyed by fire, in October, including the residence of Prof. Scott. N o College building burned, but indirectly the school subjected to mo re or less loss. 1872. Repairs, to a considerable extent, on the buildings of the College completed. The Holland Colony celebr.ated the twenty-fifth year of its settlement in America, and .as a “Memorial,” an “Ebenezar Fund” was started for the support of the Grammar School. This fund afterwards reached over $35,000. The “Zwenier House” completed on the “South Campus;” just west of the “ Printing Office," (once the “Or­ phan House.”) • 1875. Professors B e c k .and Scott regularly appointed as “Lectors” in the Theologiciil Department; and the salaries of the three Theological Teachers, assumed by Synod. Prof. Crispell began collections for the Professorship of Did.actic and Polernic Theology. ’ 18'i7. T h e General Synod, finding that the Professors were not paid, and that, the debt of the College, .as well as of the Synod, was increasing, suspended the Theological Depart -


nient.

Thirty candidates had graduated from it since 1869.

Tlie General’Synod determined to reorganize Hope College, and sent a Committee for that purpose, to meet with the Council. The debt of the Institution was found to be over $27,000, besides $4,100, due from the General Synod to the Theological Teachers. Dr. Phelps resigned the Presi­ dency, and Dr. Crispell, his College Professorship, to take ef­ fect July 1st. A new Constitution of the College was drafted. Rev. Giles H. Mandeville, D. D., of New York city,was elected Provisional President, and Prof. Chas. Scott, Vice-President, to administer the College, while Dr. Mandeville collected funds in the East. W o m e n were admitted to all the depart­ ments. Henry Boers, A. B., and John H. Kleinheksel, A. B., were appointed Tutors in the Grammar School. The number of students had gradually increased; the 50 of 1865 became 64 in 1872, (not including the Theological,) and 98 in 1878. In July, Assistant Professor W m . A. Shields was made Pro­ fessor of Rhetoric and English Literature, and Assistant Pro­ fessor G. J. Kollen resigned his Financial Agency, and was made Professor of Mathematic.s, &c. 1879. The new Constitution of the College was adopted by the General Synod. 1880. Prof. Chas. Scott appointed Provisional President. Efforts to pay the debt succeed. 1882. Dr. Mandeville had continued his financial efforts, and the debt of the College disappeared. Including interest, over $35,000 had been donated for the purpose. About $14,000 in addition were added to the Endowment. 1883. Henry Boers, A. M., and John H. Kleinheksel, A. M. , (Tutors since 1878,) were appointed Assistant Professors. 1884. Prof. Scott had been “Acting President” for six years, since 1878. Besides the debt, all the current expenses, including the salaries, paid year by year, without deficit, and punctually. Rev. John A. De Baun, D. D., of Fonda, N. Y., elected President in May. General Synod met in Grand Rapids, and made a visit to Holland and Hope Col1878.

It will be seen that this school, in almost all respects, has been steadily progressing. Before her is a fair prospect, if her Alumni stand by her good name, if her friends are at­ tached to and not alienated from her interests, and if the Council do their duty as Christian men and faithful guard­ ians for the Lord. She needs and prays for more ample endowments. May the future show more and more clearly that this is indeed a “College of Hope.”. ■
