Roman numerals after studies indicate the courses; these are given in detail on pages 24. etc. Five recitations in the above branches every week, unless otherwise indicated In addition, Bible, V. to VIII.. and Elocution, I. to IV., weekly throughout the course. Lady principal will meet the lady students once a week. 1. Studies in italics are elective, as follows: \S\i^x^oflQT^Aonemust beselected• and, if warranted by the student’s ability to do the work, two may bepursued. Either of the above series of courses leads to the A. B. diploma. 3. To entitle to State Teacher’s Certificate requirements are: History of Ed­ ucation, Pedagogy, Educational Psychology, School Economy, and the presenta­ tion of the A. B. diploma. 4. Courses in Italian and Spanish are offeied to such students as wish to pursue them. .


T H E P R E P A R A T O R Y SCHOOL. Three parallel courses. Classical, Latin and NormalScientific, have been introduced in the Preparatory School, any one, of which the student may select under the supervision of the Faculty. For those w h o desire a selected course provision will be made so as to give the most satisfactory results. In general in its four years work in any of the above three courses the Preparatory School aims at the full preparation of its students for en­ trance into the Freshman class of any college or uni­ versity. In particular the Normal-Scientific Course is planned especially for those young people w h o wish to fit them­ selves for teaching either in the country districts or in the grades of village and city schools. Thorough instruction and late reviews will be given in all those subjects re­ quired for first grade certificates as well as in the purely professional lines— elementary psychology, pedagogy, school law, and general school management. It is the aim of the Faculty to make this course strong, practical, and helpful— equivalent to corresponding courses cfif“red in our best Normal Colleges. The Normal-Scientific Course does not lead' to any corresponding course in the College Department, it being arranged especially for those w h o do not plan at once to enter College. The different lines of work receive the same careful attention 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 worthy of full recommendation, whether for entrance into the College, or for a profess­ ional training, or for a business life.

f T H E D E P A R T M E N T S A N D COURSES.

E N G L I S H L A N G U A G E A N D LITERATURE. P r o f s . J. B . N y k e r k a n d J. G. W i n t e r .

^ The Preparatory School.— The courses in English Masterpieces conform to the recommendations of ‘‘Th'' English Conference of the Eastern and Middle States.” The aim in these courses is, first, to arouse in the student an appreciation of the true, the sincere, and the beautiful in literature;secondly, to help him, by means of the study of ideal forms of expression, to give utterance to this in­ sight with idiomatic force and fluency. In connection with this sympathetic critical study, two esSays (on an average) on each masterpiece are required, and the manu-' script is carefully examined and criticized by the instruct­ ors. The memorizing and expressive rendering of choice selections from the prescribed classics is also deemed of the utmost importance. While Formal Grammar is thoroughly reviewed dur­ ing a part of the first year, further linguistic study, al­ though constantly emphasized; is only incidental. Prac­ tical Rhetoric and the Art of Composition are taught early in the course, to the accompaniment of daily para­ graph work, and frequent theme-writing. This is fol­ lowed by a! brief study of Poetics. The following is the outline of courses. Course

l.-KIttredge and Arnold’s Mother Tongue, Book n.

C o u r s e "a ”— G r a m m a r Review, etc. Course II. — Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner; Lowell’s Vision of Sir Launfal; Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice; Scott’s Ivanhoe. Course III.a— Macaulay’ s Essay on Addison; Sir Roger de

The preparatory course in Mathematics embraces Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry. For admission to the “D ” class an examination in Arithmetic is required equiv­ alent to that which entitles to a Third Grade Teacher’s Certificate in this state; after which the first term is devoted to a review of the whole subject and the introduc­ tion to such advanced work as shall find direct practical application in the different courses of this institution. Algebra is-commenced the second term of the “D ” year, continued for five consecutive terms concluding with an extended general view of the subject at the end of the “C ” year. Geometry is begun the second term of the “B ” and completed the first term of the “A ” year. In all these both facility im computation and thor­ oughness and breadth of information' are made the aim of the instruction; so as to- lay an adequate foundation for future study ini Mathematics. The Freshman class takes up Plane and Spherical Trigonometry and College Algebra. In the Sophomore year follows the application- of the principles of Trigonometry tO'Surveying, Navigation, and Astronomy, after, which Analytical Geometry and Calcu­ lus conclude the course in pure Mathematics.


The above work is summarized in eight courses as follows:

The Preparatory School— Course I.— Arithmetic, o n e term; the operations, metric sys­ tem, fractions, roots a n d proportion. Course

HISTORY.

P rop.H enry B oers. The work in this department has the following three chief ends in view: First, to give the student a general view of the progress and development of the race;second, by reference work to give him a fuller and more definite knowledge of the important periods of history; third, to acquaint him with material and methods of study. T o se­ cure these ends the text-book, the lecture, and the refer­ ence or laboratory method’ s are combined in all the classes. , , .

All of the courses outlined below are required of students pursuing the classical course excepting the Elementary Course, Course “A,” and Course VIII. The Elementary Course and Course “A ” are Preparatory courses and are required of all academic students- who pursue the classical course but are open to others who may wish to pursue them. The Elementary Course em­ braces thirty-six weeks’ work devoted to the acquisition of inflections and syntax. Course “A ” embraces the translation of three books of Xenophon’s Anabasis from preparation and one book at sight; constant notice of the principles of syntax, idiom, and rhetoric;oral and written composition; and such other study and drill that may be required in preparing for the study and appreciation of the language. Course VIII. comprehends different auth­ ors and studies, any of which may be elected by those, who desire special study in the language. The hour for these courses is arranged privately.

P rof.H enry V egiite. The Preparatory School.— A course of two- years in German is provided. This is amply sufficient to give such a practical command of the language and familiarity with its literature as to be a valuable possession for all time. The College.— A one year course of German is pro­


vided either in- continuation of the two year course of the Preparatory School, or independently thereof. A one year course of French is provided which is entirely ade­ quate to the acquiring of such a mastery of the language and literature as to be of permanent practical use in the business of life and in literary culture. The Modern Languages Department has been enlarged to include Italian and Spanish. The lan­ guage of the Italian kingdom is attracting the attention of educational institutions more and more each year and its acquisition gradually becoming more general among the liberally educated. Our present relations with the former dependencies of Spain have lately made Spanish particularly useful and almost necessary. Hope College is gratified to be able now, by completing the cycle of modem- languages inclusive of Italian and Spanish, to afford facilities in this department such as are to be found elsewhere, with but few exceptions, only in the great, universities. Our College is thus continuing its policy of enlarging its curriculum to meet the requirements of new conditions and to provide for the satisfaction of new demands for in­ struction. Both Italian and Spanish are optional, the length of the course in both being determined by the size and ad­ vancement of the classes, and the amount of time at their, disposal. German—

R ev . A lbert W. D e Jonge. The study of the Dutch language and literature, highly important and remunerative in itself, is especially valuable to many students of Hope College who are of Dutch stock. Dutch is still spoken in many of their homes and will, for many years to come, continue in use in the pulpits and religious meetings of nearly all the Reformed churches of the particular Synod of Chicago and in many of our churches East.

DEPARTMENT OP PSYCHOLOGY A N D PEDAGOGY. P rop.E dwin

N orton.

In 1893 the Legislature of Michigan enacted a law providing that graduates from Michigan Colleges who have done an amount of work in the Science and Art of Teaching equivalent to five and one-half hours recita­ tion work per week for one college year, may, upon recommendatior^ of the College Faculty, receive a State Teacher’s Certificate good for four, years. A holder of such certificate shall, when he has taught with success for three years, receive a Life Certificate. Not till 1898 was Hope College in a position to offer to its students pedagogical instruction of sufficient amount to enable them- to secure the benefits of this law. But by the establishment of the Pedagogical Department the College became ready to enter the new field. The object of the department, then, is to provide m ­ . struction for those students who, looking forward to teaching as a profession, wish to take advantage of the above provision and, as well, for those who, not purposing to become professional teachers, are yet unwilling to remain in ignorance upon a subject of such vital interest and great importance. The courses of instruction as outlined include History of Education, Pedagogy, Educational Psychology, and School Economy.


.

The work is given in the Junior and Senior years and is entirely elective. It may be taken by students in either the Classical or Philosophical Course as indicated in the outline of work on page 14. All four terms are required for the State Certificate. The election of the pedagogical work does not take the student from his old course, nor does it interfere iu the slightest degree with his Seminary preparation or entrance, should he later wish to enter the ministry.

This is begun in. the Preparatory School with the D class and the Old Testament is covered during the four years of the course. The only text-book used is the American Revision of the Holy Bible. Lec­ tures are given to introduce each book, and the Scrip­ tures of the Old Testament are taught in their relation to the Kingdom of God and Redemption. The N e w Testament is begun in the Freshman year of the College. The history of the English versions is given by a course of lectures. The introductions to the Acts, the Epistles, and the Revelation, and studies in their text follow. The History of Missions is taught during the third term of the Sophomore year. With this foundation the Seniors study Evidences of Christianity, using the text-book published by the professor in charge. The purpose of this course is not only a scientific knowl­ edge of Scripture and Christianity, but also effort is made to lay them upon the heart and make them the rule of life. Logic in the Junior year is also taught in this depart­ ment. The Canons of Inductive Logic is a short course of lectures running parallel with the text-book used.

, Attention is given in all the classes to voice, gesture, and effective rendering. The ainr is to teach the student to speak with ease and) grace, with comfort to himself and with pleasure to the hearer. From- this description it will be seen that Hope Col­ lege is, first of all, offering a liberal classical course, which will serve as an adequate foundation upon which


to build professional courses, which, in turn, prepare for the more active and practical duties of life. The time is fast coming, and we shall hail the day, when such a foundation of a liberal classical course will be generally required as a preparation for all professional work.

T H E COLLEGE.

Admission into the Freshman, class may be obtained in any one of the following ways: . 1. By presenting a certificate of full graduation from the Latin or Classical course of our own Prepara­ tory School or from' other institutions of like character and grade; 2. By presenting a diploma from any high school, accredited by the University of Michigan ; 3- By passing a satisfactory examination upon the usual preparatory studies leading to the course desired. Students may enter an advanced class either at the beginning of the college year or at other times, provided they sustain a satisfactory examination both on the pre­ paratory studies and on those already passed over by the class which they propose to enter. If received on condi­ tion, students' may in certain cases be permitted to recite with the class, but all conditions must be removed before regular admission. T H E P R E P A R A T O R Y SCHOOL.

Pupils holding a so-called “Fighth Grade Diploma” will be admitted to the “D ” class without examination, provided that the general average stand at 85 or over, and the standing in any one branch be not under 75; while applicants, not holding such certificate, will be sub­ jected to a strict examination in the common school branches, including Arithmetic, Fnglish Grammar and Composition, United States History, Geography (not in­


eluding Physical), Reading and Orthography. The ex­ amination! will be graded according to the requirements of the aforesaid diploma. In order to enter any advanced class, it will be neces­ sary for the applicant to pass am examination in the studies previously pursued by the class. If the applicant be received on conditions, these conditions must be re­ moved before regular admission. , Applicants for admission will not find it convenient to enter a class' if they have not studied all the branches which the class has pursued. For instance, if one has met all the conditions for entering the Freshman class with the exception of Greek, then he will find it very difficult to make up this deficiency. It would have been better for the applicant to have come two years earlier, and entered the “B ” class where Greek is begun.

As early as 1836 the Reformed Church in America, one of the oldest church organizations in this country, discussed the desirability of planting higher institutions of learning out upon the western frontier. o In 1847 and in subsequent years a goodly number of colonists from the Netherlands settled in Western Mich足 igan and in other localities of some of the Western States- They were a' devout people, and sought this country to secure a higher degree of material prosperity and religious liberty than their own country afforded. In 1850 these colonists united themselves with the Reformed) Church and in this union was to be found the realization of what the Church had long hoped for and desired, viz., the establishment of a Christian institution of higher education in the West. The Hollanders, who settled in those western wilds, were a religious people, and their leader, the Rev. Dr. Van Raalte, himself a man of culture and learning, had a passion for higher Christian education. H e realized that if his people were to be a success in thisi country, and to be more than hewers of wood and drawers of water, they must have the advantages of intellectual and moral train足 ing. Already in 1851, when life was but little more to them than a struggle for existence, they heroically laid the foundation for higher education. And in 1857, when


they were yet comparative strangers to the customs and the language of the country, they organized Holland Academy, which in turn became Hope College in 1866. an institution regularly chartered under the laws of the state. Three years later the Western Theological Sem­ inary was established. ... The persistent efforts and the self-denying spirit dis played by these pioneers gave abundant proof that they were worthy descendants of the vigorous stock of Ley­ den’s defenders. The history of the founding and organization of Hope College is but a repetition of the history of not a few of the leading institutions of our country. The be­ ginning was, indeed, feeble; but the founders baptized it with a spirit of devotion and self-sacrifice that defied all difficulties and triumphed over every obstacle, and gave it a vital energy which has shown itself in a rich harvest of blessed results. In the very nature of things, the growth of the insti­ tution could not be rapid, but it has been steady and wholesome. In its development and growth the trustees have always strictly adhered to the object declared by the leading originators of the pioneer school when they used the following words: “Believing that the school proposed to be established among the .Holland Colonists irii Ottawa county and ' vicinity, Michigan, for the purposes, and after the man­ ner, named in the following plan, is greatly needed in order to supply them' and their children in time to come, with a preached gospel and with well-qualified teachers for their common and higher schools and that such schools will have a most important and .beneficial effect

upon the intellectual, moral, and religious state of said colonists, and that it will' tend greatly to promote the growth and usefulness of our institutions and to enlarge and strengthen our influence for good as a church of Jesus Christ, and that the means' contributed for the sup­ port of said school as proposed will be spent upon an enterprise that promises great and extensive benefit, we the undersigned do therefore hereby^ most cordially and with confidence recommend this object to the benevolence and liberality of those to w h o m it may be presented.” Signed by these pillars in the Reformed Church:

James I. C annon , T heo .F relinohuysen, W m .H. C ampbell , Thomas D e W itt, Samuel A. V an V ranken , I. P roudpit. T o prove to the world that these men spoke as with prophetic vision, it is but necessary to state that already more than 300 have graduated from this college, and that sixty per cent of them entered the Gospel ministry, and that a large number of others, who received their training here, are engaged in teaching, and others are making their influence for good felt in other professions. It may be truthfully said that the results have been larger than even the most sanguine of the pioneer pro­ jectors had dared, to hope, and that the influence of these institutions is today felt around the globe. Twenty-one of our graduates have de-voted themselves to the work of foreign missions, and, as our beloved and honored repre­ sentatives, are most successfully unfurling the banner of Christ among the people of idolatry and darkness.


The kind and generous support of the Reformed Church given the immigrants of ’47 and those who came later, made the organizations of these institutions a pos­ sibility ;and these institutions in turn have supplied with pastors most of the churches belonging to the Particular Synod of Chicago, which comprises 186 organizations. "Such in brief is the history of the College and Sem­ inary. About two hundred young people are now con­ nected with them as students. The College has a large field. Its constituency covers a territory from N e w York in the East to the Dakotas in the West. The outlook, as far as the student material is con­ cerned, is hopeful, and the field is wide and inviting. Our future will largely depend upon the prayers and liberality of the Church and the friends of Christain education.

M i s c e l l a n e o u s In f o r m a t i o n . LOCATION. Holland is a city of 8,000 inhabitants and is centrally located on the Pere Marquette railway. A number of daily trains afford direct connection with the leading cities east, and as many with Chicago and other points west. It is on a straight line from. Grand Rapids to Chi­ cago, distant from the former city 25 miles and from the latter 156 miles. W h e n navigation is open, it also has connection with Chicago and Milwaukee by a daily line of steamboats. It is therefore most desirably located, having both land and water communications, being near the shore of Lake Michigan, with which it is connected by a beautiful sheet of water, called Macatawa Bay, and on which are the popular summer resorts, Macatawa Park and Ottawa Beach.

GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. The College Campus lies between Tenth and Twelfth streets, in the center of the city, and contains sixteen acres. It presents a finely varied surface, well shaded with native trees, and is annually improving in beauty and attractiveness. The College buildings are eight in number. Van Vleck Hall is mainly devoted to dormitory purposes. The Graves Library and Winants Chapel building, in which are also found a President’s room, a reading room, a Y. M. C. A. hall, and four lecture rooms, affords suit­ able and improved accommodations. Van Raalte Memorial Hall is nearly completed. The first and second floors of this building are to be chiefly

V 4

I


devoted to the natural sciences, while the third floor is to be used for museum purposes and the development of a historical feature illustrating the immigration into this country from the Netherlands since 1847. S C H O O L YEAR.

The scholastic year of forty weeks begins on the third Wednesday in September and ends with the general C o m ­ mencement on the third Wednesday in June. The winter and spring vacations are fixed by the Fa­ culty. (See Calendar.) A D V A N T A G E S OFFERED.

Besides the advantages of location, easy communica­ tion, and inexpensive living, it is believed Hope College may justly call attention to equally important advantages of a very different nature. The classes are not so large as to preclude that per­ sonal acquaintance, contact, and influence of each m e m ­ ber of the Faculty with every student coming under his instruction, which parents are apt to consider in making choice of an institution. This personal element, made possible in a smaller institution, is a factor of great edu­ cational value both morally and intellectually. Hope College is not a local institution. Its students represent an extensive territory, extending east as far as the state of N e w York, and west as far as the D a ­ kotas. The students are, in the main, the best pupils from many public schools and in general possess a high order of ability and a laudable ambition to make their way in the world. This makes them desirable companions, inviting their fellows to friendly competition and industrious study.


By a division of the work peculiar to Hope College the same experienced instructors teach in both the Pre­ paratory School and the College, thus giving the students in the lower classes advantages seldom enjoyed in pre­ paratory schools. It is a chartered institution, incorporated under the laws of the state and legally entitled to grant certificates and diplomas and to confer degrees. It will be seen therefore that Hope College offers and secures a regular liberal course of training as com­ plete as can be found' in most of our western colleges.

V

C O U R S E O F STUDY.

Most of the students seek a “liberal education,” lead­ ing to the degree of A. B. A “partial” or “elective” course is offered to all who so desire and facilities are furnished through the regular instructors; but a partial course entitles only to a certificate and not to a diploma. Since 1878 Hope College has been open to women. They enter the regular classes and attend the same lec­ tures and recitations as the young men. Instruction in vocal music is provided without charge. It will be noticed that a regular chair of pedagogy has now been established so that students availing them­ selves of this course, may secure a State Certificate. EXAMINATIONS.

In' both departments written examinations are held at the close of each term, or whenever a subject is com­ pleted. W h e n practicable, the examinations at the close of the year or whenever a branch of study is finished, cover the entire text-book. The next examination for ad-

y'


>

■mission will be held’the day befoire the new school year opens, viz., on Tuesday, September 15, 1903, at 9 o’clock A. M. ■ C E RTIFICATES A N D DIPLOMAS.

Members of the “A ” class, upon’graduation in full course, are entitled to a regular certificate, signed by the Council and the Faculty; but said certificate will be marked “First,” “Second,” or “Third Grade,” as follows; “First Grade” indicates that the average standing of the graduate is from 90 to 100; “Second Grade” from 80 to 90; Third Grade” from 70 to 80; reference being made to both recitations and examinations. Such students as are admitted in partial course, or who fall below an average standing of 70, are entitled to a statement from' the Faculty, naming the studies in which they have sustained examinations. Graduates from the College, when recommended by the Faculty, receive a diploma with the degree of A. B., being a testimonial of general scholarship. The course leading thereto includes such branches as are usually taught in similar institutions. A partial course is some­ times chosen and is entitled to a certificate as adjudged by the Faculty. RELIGIOUS SERVICES A N D W O R K .

The exercises of each day begin' with prayer in W i n ­ ants Chapel, at 8 o’clock, A. M. On the Sabbath every student is expected to worship regularly with one of the churches in, the city or vicinity unless excused by the President. Religious instruction is given in',all the classes regu­ larly and like all the other studies is in charge of the


Faculty. Although Hope College is denominational and is under the patronage and support of the Reformed Church in America, yet by the law of its incorporation it can have no “religious test.” The doors are open and welcome is given to all who submit to its scholastic regulations. As a Christian school, however, it inculcates gospel truths and demands a consistent moral character and deport­ ment. The Young M e n ’s Christian Association is in a flour­ ishing condition and continues to be a great blessing to the students. It offers a splendid opportunity to secure Christian growth and to do personal religious work. Under the auspices of the Association several Sunday Schools, numbering hundreds of scholars, are conducted in the surrounding country. . The students also support a weekly prayer meeting, from which the institution continues to reap much spirit­ ual fruit. The Young W o m e n ’s Christian Association is doing excellent work. The young women meet for prayer once a week and derive much spiritual help from it. A strong religious spirit is found among the students, and God has so blessed the religious work that from year to year many hopeful conversions have been witnessed. This condition has naturally developed a deep interest in Christian Missions. A Mission. Class meets every Saturday evening to study the history and methods of missions and missionary biographies relating more par­ ticularly to the mission fields of our own Church. L I B R A R Y , R E A D I N G R O O M , ETC.

The library which numbers fully 15,000 volumes is

i-

t

open every day and is free for the use of the students. Books and pamphlets, as well as magazines and papers-, are constantly added. The friends of Hope College may be assured that their gifts of valuable books to the library will be taken care of and appreciated and made useful by giving them a place upon the ample shelves of the m a g ­ nificent fire proof library building. In' connection with the library is a reading room in which are found many books of reference and which, by the liberality of Mr. W m . L. Brower of N e w York City, is supplied with many valuable periodicals and leading jour­ nals on politics, religion, science, and literature. These m a y be consulted on any day when the College is in ses­ sion but m a y not be withdrawn from the room. Laboratory and philosophical apparatus for lecture room use is growing in value and completeness. Dona­ tions by the graduates and friends of the institution, of maps, charts, instruments, and specimens of natural his­ tory are solicited with the assurance that all such will materially add to the efficiency of the work. • MUSIC. The Choral Union, under the direction of Prof. J. B. Nykerk, meets on Monday in Winants Chapel. Oratorio choruses and standard cantatas are studied, and one or tvv'D public concerts are given annually. Private lessons in voice culture and in piano and organ can be had at reasonable rates. SOCIETIES. Five Literary Societies are found in the Institution. The Meliphon, the Cosmopolitan, and the Fraternal have been maintained for years, and offer decided advantages


to their respective members and materially aid in the attainment of that culture which it is the object of this school to promote. The Ulfilas Club is doing excellent work in fostering the study of the Dutch language. The M. S. Society has been organized by the young ladies for the purpose of enjoying free discussion and obtaining experience in conducting public meetings. W e have no Creek letter fraternities, which often are very expensive to the students' and are apt to divide' them into discordant classes. . As the student life is largely the formative period of the professional m a n ’s character, and as a m a n ’s influence and usefulness depend mu c h upon his sympathy with men, irrespective of classes, it is therefore desirable that a democratic spirit should characterize the Christian col lege. Moreover, plain, economical' living is encouraged, in order that the young, not favored with an abundance of this world^’s goods, m a y yet be able to acquire a liberal education. PUBLICATIONS. Connected with the institution', a religious weekly is published, called De Hope. It was established in 1866 and is under'the direction of the Council through its Editorial Committee. The paper has a circulation of over 3,000 copies. A monthly, called The Anchor, is conducted by the students with gratifying success- It has reached its sixteenth year and is well calculated to awaken an esprit de corps among the alumni. N o alumnus w h o wishes to keep himself informed in regard to his Alma Mater arid w h o desires to keep in touch with her, can afford to be without this paper.

PRIZES. In 1887 were established the two “George Birklioff, Jr., Prizes,” each of twenty-five dollars; one for the Junior class in English Literature, and the other for the Senior class in Dutch Literature. At the Commence­ ment of 1902 they were awarded by the committees as follows: that for the best essay in English was divided be­ tween Miss Grace HoeUje and Willis G. Hoekje, and that in Dutch was awarded to M. C. Ruissard. In 1894 two new prizes were added to the list of an­ nual awards, one of $15.00 for the best and the other of $10.00 for the second best examination in English G r a m ­ mar and Orthography, open to all the members of the “C ” class. At the Commencement of 1902 the first prize was awarded to Esther Fortuine and the second to Mar­ cus Andreae. These were established by Mr. Henry Bosch, of Chicago, 111 . A Foreign Mission Prize of twenty-five dollars is offered by Mrs. Samuel Sloan, of N e w York city, to the one writing the best essay on Foreign Missions- This prize is open to the whole college, and at the Commence­ ment of 1902 was awarded to Henry D e Pree of the Senior class. The subject for 1903 is: “The Story of the Moravian. Missions” ; for 1904 the subject is: “The Re­ formed Church in America andi Missions.” The topic for the examination in English Literature for the George Birkhoff, Jr., Prize in the Junior class for 1903 is “Keats” ; that for the essay in 1904 is “Shakes­ peare and His Comedies.” • The topic for the examination in Dutch Literature for the George Birkhoff, jr., Prize in 1903 in the Senior class is “De Slag bij Nieuwpoort,” by D a Costa. The


subject for the essay of 1904 is “Het Haantje van den Toren” van D e Genestet. W e trust that other prizes will follow. Here is an excellent opportunity to give a stimulus to labor in other branches of study. EX P E N S E S . The city is surrounded by a rich agricultural region and the cost of living in Holland is not expensive. Good board and rooms m a y be had in families of the city for from two to three dollars per w e e k ; in clubs and without furnished rooms at lower rates. There are twenty rooms in V a n Vleck Hall, in the selection of which students for the ministry have the preference. These are furnished in part and bear a m o d ­ erate charge. As yet no tuition fees have been charged but every student must pay to the Treasurer, in advance, an inci­ dental fee of six dollars per term. The graduation fee is five dollars in the College and two and one-half dollars in the Preparatory School. N o other charges are madeYoung people of noble aspirations but of limited means need not be discouraged. At Hope College they will find m a n y like themselves, some of w h o m have come a great distance seeking an education. Such as these are in earnest, content with plain living, and, by practicing the economies that are possible in this place succeed in reducing their expenses within marvelously narrow limits'. ' Here is an estimate of the necessary expenditure, ex­ clusive of clothing and! travel, which each can determine

i


for himself, for one year in the preparatorycourse: ■Board (at the Glub), - . R o o m rent (two rooming together), Books $10, Washing $10, Light $3, Fuel' $7, Fees $18, . . . Total

-

. -

$60.00 20.00 23.00 25.00 $1 2 8 . 0 0

The above estimate is an answer to those w h o want to know h o w much money is absolutely needed and Is intended as a reply to that oft-repeated question. Of course the expense of most of the students exceeds this amount. M a n y parents having children to educate find it to their advantage to come to this city to live. T o such it may be truthfully said that Holland is a growing, enter­ prising city— one of the most prosperous and beautiful in Michigan. With its broad and shady streets, its water works, and its electric illumination, Holland is equally well adapted to the life of quiet retirement and to that of the active business man. Trolley lines from Holland to Saugatuck and Grand Rapids and all' intervening points are in operation and these enable students living along these lines, to come in for the day and thus materially reduce expenses. DISCIPLINE. It is gratifying to observe that the moral and spir­ itual tone of the students is such that the matter of disci­ pline is reduced to a minimum. General opinion is on the side of right and reasonableness and lends its powerful support to the interest of good order and efficient work. T o develop this high moral culture and character of the


Student, it is the aim of Hope College to cultivate, no less than to advance his intellectual development. In general, however, if it appears that students do not improve their time and opportunities, or do not con­ duct themselves in a'respectful and orderly manner, their connection with the institution is suspended, or if it should be found, after due probation and inquiry, that the influence of a student is bad and injurious to others, the right is exercised of requiring the withdrawal of such student. The students are required to be present, promptly, on the first day of each and every term. The recitations will begin the next morning at the usual hour, 8 o’clock. A record is kept of the scholastic standing of each student and a copy of the same is' sent to the parent or guardian at the close of each term. If the average stand­ ing does not exceed 70 on a basis of 100, he is to be dropped from his class. Term fees and room rent are to be paid strictly in advance, and if not so paid, or within one month, the student neglecting, forfeits his right to continue in the institution. Boarding houses and boarding clubs in the city are to be approved by the Faculty and to be subject to .such regulations as are usual in similar institutions. Ladies and gentlemen are not expected to occupy rooms open­ ing into the same hall or otherwise connected. Dancing and card playing is prohibited, as is also the use of tobacco on the College Campus. Parents living at a distance are requested not to ask or expect their children to come home during term time. It seriously interferes with proper habits of study, and by

t

'4 .;


our rules none are to be absent from, the institution with­ out permission of the President. T O A L U M N I A N D FRIENDS. Hope College is grateful to the Reformed Church in America, whose she is and w h o m she so loyally serves by the men she is furnishing both for the domestic and the foreign field. • Hope College is grateful to her alumni and to all who were at any time connected with the College as students, for the faithful work they are doing; wherever they are practicing their professions, they show that they are “workmen that need not be ashamed.” W e are grateful for the growing interest they manifest by making known the merits of their Alma Mater, and by inspiring deserv­ ing young men to seek the same educational advantages. Hope College is grateful to loyal and liberal friends w h o here invest their money, not in dead and fleeting things, but in brain and character and souls of men. Be assured, no where else will your well-earned money yield larger returns, in no other way can yon render bettei service for your Church and for your Country. With such encouragements as these Hope College feels hopeful for the future. She will try still to deserve your favor and your liberality. Y o u have young friends— continue to send us their names, if they are studious and deserving, and especially the names of such as are not likely otherwise ever to receive a liberal education. GYMNASIUM. Classes in dumb-bells, Indian clubs, chest-weights, etc., are held daily at such hours as best to accommodate the students. The gymnasium proves very helpful to the


physical development of the students. By a proper use of the advantages offered in this direction, they acquire the physical strength needed to endure the mental strain in­ cident to student life. Under the direction of Prof. S. O. Mast the Freshman class is' required to take a regular course in physical training. While physical culture is valued highly, it is not en couraged at the expense of education and morality. Be­ lieving that intercollegiate athletics have a strong tend­ ency to interfere with the regular college work, and that they are generally not helpful to the development of niqral Christian character, it is held that a denominational college like ours can not afford to support them. ■’

MUSEUM.

Valuable gifts are, from time to time, received from alumni and friends of the institution. Others, desiring to enrich this department, are only waiting till the College shall have a suitable building, for the safekeeping of such collections. ’ CONTRIBUTIONS. Cenerous and noble-hearted friends have, from time to time, by their liberality, increased the endowment fund. Hope College owes its existence and prosperity to the kind help of such friends of Christian education. It be­ lieves that the number of those w h o propose to give tj meet 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. The College is still in need of endowments of profes­ sorships and a dormitory for young women. Here is an opportunity for philanthropists w h o have an honorable

ambition to connect their names permanently with an institution that has long ceased to be an experiment ant! which promises to become an increasing power for good in Church and State. A professorship may be endowed by the donation of $25,000 and a scholarship by the donation of $2,000.

F O R M OF BEQUEST. The corporate title of the College is; “The Council of Hope College.� . I give and bequeath to the Council' of Hope College, located' at Holland, Michigan, the sum of $----- to be applied in such a manner as the Council may deem most useful to the College. Those making specific bequests may vary the above form by inserting the special object desired.

G e n e r a l In f o r m a t i o n . ADMISSION.

The Seminary is open for the admission of students from every denomination of Christians. A Committee of the Board of Superintendents, on the reception of students, meets on the third Wednes day in September, at lo o’clock a. m. EVery applicant is required toi present a certificate of church membership and one of literary qualifications. One w h o has not pursued a regular Collegiate course must give proof by testimonials or examination of such literary attainments as will enable him to enter upon tli«. course of studies of this School. . The requirements of the Constitution in regard to students preparing for the ministry in the Reformed Church, are as follows: “Every person contemplating the work of the ministry, before he commences 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 and good standing of a Reformed Protestant Church; of bis piety, ability, and literary attainments: and thereupon shall be admitted Into one 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 and term of Theological studies, shall be admitted to an examination according to the regulations of the School as established by the General Synod; and If found qualified, shall receive a profes­ sorial certificate to that effect, which shall entitle him to an examination for licensure before the Classls to which he beXon^s.”— Constitution. Art. //.. Sec. s.

T H E YEAR.

The Seminary opens on the third Wednesday in September, when' the Committee meets for the reception of students, and closes! on the second Wednesday in May, with the annual Commencement.


PREACHING.

The Middle and Senior Classes preach regularly be足 fore the Faculty and Students, subject to such criticism as m a y be appropriate. They also preach in the churches, especially such as are vacant, under the direction of the Faculty. The Junior Class preach in turn before the Professor of Homiletics.

MISSION W O R K .

The Mission Band holds itself ready to address meetings, to organize mission study classes, and to sup足 ply C. E. Societies with mission literature. The students and Faculty together support a native worker in India. A weekly prayer meeting does much to stimulate a deep interest in missions. Mr. Peter Semelink has established a Scholarship of $2,000, the income of which is to be paid to a student in the Seminary, preference being given to one looking for足 ward to the Foreign Missionary Work. LIBRARY.

The Chambers Library, in the Semelink Family Hall, is n o w an efficient working Theological Library of about 6,000 volumes. For general literature the students have free use of the Craves Library of Hope College. A D E L P H I C SOCIETY.

This is a weekly gathering of the Professors and Students for the discussion of questions relating to the practical work of the ministry. The exercises embrace debates, essays, and general discussions. c o m m e n c e m e n t

-V ,.f

.

The Theological Commencement exercises take place on Wednesday evening, at the close of the year. Ad-


dresses are delivered by the Seniors, in English and Dutch, and by some member of the Board of Superin­ tendents appointed for the purpose. B E N E F I C I A R Y AID.

V'

Instruction is entirely gratuitous. Young men are aided by the Board of Education as their circumstances require and the funds admit, not only while in the Semi­ nary, but in the studies preparatory to entering it. Rooms are provided in Van VIeck Hall, and board can be ob­ tained in the city or at the students’ Clubs at from $1.75 to $2.50 per week. S E M E L I N K F A M I L Y HALL.

This building, erected by Mr. Peter Semelink, con­ tains Recitation Rooms, Library and Chapel; is located on one of the most-desirable lots in the city, just south of the College Campus; and contains every convenience for Seminary work. ♦

EXAMINATIONS.

At the close of the year a written examination of all the Qasses, and on all the branches of study, is held be­ fore a Committee of the Board of Superintendents, on Thursday and Friday before Commencement, at 9 o’clock A. M., and! this is followed by an oral examination be­ fore the full Board on the Tuesday and Wednesday of Commencement week. Sjiecial written examinations are held in mid-winter as the work requires. LOCATION.

Holland is situated at the head of Macatawa Bay, which opens into Lake Michigan, giving it all the attrac­ tions of boating, with daily steamers for Chicago and


Other points. It has good railroad facilities, and offers many attractions as a place of residence. ENDOWNENT.
