GREETINGS TO ALUMNI

Hope’s new President Gordon J. Van Wylen has sent greetings to the alumni; also, the welcome word that he is looking forward to meeting many on Alumni Lay, June 3, a t the Alumni Dinner in Phelps Hall.

Drawing upon his memorable asso­ ciations with the alumni of the Col­ lege of Engineering, University of Michigan, Dr. Van Wylen wrote, “I am eagerly looking forward to the new friendships and associations I will be making with the alumni arm of the Hope family, "Since I ’m an adopted member of the family, I shall need the help of the alumni to gain insights into its foundations, history, and traditions.

In a college such as Hope, with com­ mitment to excellence in Christian Liberal Arts education, it is tremen­ dously important to build the future on these foundations. I share your Christian convictions and commit­ ments and wish to build upon them.

History and traditions are also im­ portant; it is especially in this area that I have much to learn. I will val­ ue your help and counsel.

"Our family is grateful for the warm receptions we have received from trustees, faculty, students, and alumni. While we are not moving until about July 1, we do look for­ ward to being with you on Alumni Day, June 3, and hope to meet; many of you at that lime.'’

A Man of Strength and Courage

by Lee H. Wenke Editor's note: This is the second article about Alumni representatives on the Hope College Board of Trustees. Robert William Haack ’3S was elected to the Board in 1968. Since that time, many at Hope have become reacquainted with him and have learned to admire and respect him, not only for his service to Hope, but also for his qualities of character, leadership and strength which he has demonstrated as President of the New York Stock Exchange.

Mr. Wenke, in his work as director of development for Hope, has worked closely with Mr. Haack for several years.

“The World breaks everyone and afterward many are strong a t the broken places.” Hemingway

! R . obert W. Haack is a man of uncommon ( strength and courage. His life is a testimony of this; his contributions to American business ' and finance as President of the New York Stock Exchange for the past five years have reinforced this view.

To have achieved this lofty position is an honor, for as Franklin Delano Roosevelt has said, ' “the Presidency of the New York Stock Exchange ^ has to be the second toughest job in the world."

The year's 1968-1970 saw the country in the midst of a recession and the financial community in the grip of upheaval. Even in normal times, ’ the chief executive of the world’s leading , securities marketplace is subjected to tremendous pressures; Bob Haack not only assumed this position at one of the most difficult times in the history of tire Stock Exchange, but he went on to play a dominant role in shepherding i the securities industry through a major * depression.

Not content merely to preside and to administer the directives and policies established by the Board of Governors of the Exchange, Haack went beyond the President’s traditional duties in < alerting the industry to the need for reform and change.

At first, he worked within the traditional framework. He urged the financial community to recognize that changing conditions required new methods of doing business. In what amounted to a call to “reform or perish,” Bob challenged time-honored business practices and strongly advised the securities industry to rethink and modernize many of its concepts and operations. He even suggested that the industry consider altering the fixed commission rate system which represented one of its oldest business traditions.

Powerful forces within the community resisted his voice though there was growing sentiment within the counsels of government to impose reform on the financial community.

On November 17, 1970, in a precedent-shattering address to the Economic Club of New York, Haack publicly advocated the reforms which he had suggested privately; the speech left the Wall Street financial community shaken and divided.

In some quarters, the initial reaction to his speech was highly critical. Yet today, just a little more than a year later, many of the reforms he suggested are either in effect or well on the way to being implemented.

In November 1971, less than a year after his much studied address, Haack announced that he would not seek reappointment as President of the New York Stock Exchange when his term ends on July 1. His courageous stand had taken a personal toll of great proportions,

and in leaving the NYSE Presidency, he is properly focusing attention on the issues rather than on himself.

experiences a t his Alma Mater in his under­ graduate years.

This then is the Robert Haack which the public knows as a man of courage, of honor, and of strength. He is a respected national figure in business and finance. He merits recognition as a Distinguished Hope Alumnus.

In the many nationwide articles written about Robert Haack, he is always credited with being a graduate of the Harvard Business School; but when he is interviewed by reporters and asked where he got his education, he replies "Hope College in Holland, Michigan.” He is proud of his association with Hope.

But those of us in the College community who have worked with him, know Bob in another dimension. We know of his love for Hope because we have experienced it. Haack was instrumental in securing for Hope the coveted George F. Baker Trust Scholarship Program.

Through this program young men and women are given scholarship assistance to pursue leadership careers in business and the professions.

Upon graduation, the Trust will sponsor the Baker Scholar in the graduate school of his choice until he receives the MBA degree. The Baker Trust made a grant of $50,000 to Hope in May 1970 to be used by Hope students over a three year period and is renewable. Twelve students are presently enrolled in the Baker Scholar-ship Program, and the College expects the program will continue for at least ten years.

Haack’s work as President of the New York Stock Exchange during one of its most turbulent eras did not keep him from carrying out his responsibilities as a member of Hope’s Board of Trustees. He seldom missed a meeting, even though he had to arrange often to fly here by special jet. He used to joke that “getting to Holland just isn’t that easy.” It really isn’t considering the air service, but Haack almost always made it. When he was unable to attend, he phoned Board Chairman Hugh De Free and gave his advice and counsel and always his encouragement.

Haack has always been an ardent Hope College booster. And while he scrupulously avoided “using” his position as President of the Stock Exchange in the College’s fund-raising efforts, he did help pave the way for others to tell foundations, corporations and individuals in the East about the College’s programs and the need for support. He had a good story to tell.

When asked, "Why Bob, why are you giving your time to this College,” he replied, “Hope College is my labor of love.” And it really was! You could tell by the way he talked about his

Often when Bob was out making calls for Hope, he was asked about his job at the New York Stock Exchange. He would reply, "my job a t the stock exchange is something between that of being a bull fighter and that of being President of Hope College.” He recognizes that private colleges are struggling to meet the pressures of inflation and to compete with the tax supported public institutions. He remains committed to maintaining America’s dual system of public-private higher education and has a special interest in the liberal a its college with a Christian emphasis.

No matter how busy Bob is, he always has time to see representatives from Hope. Time after time they have gone to his office; within a few minutes he would have his schedule arranged so he could see them. Often in the midst of a very busy day, he will take time to make a call on a friend or an acquaintance asking him to support Hope.

Bob Haack is leaving the New York Stock Exchange, but many have gained strength from his example. Some people believe that he shortened his career a t the Exchange by his courageous speech to the Economic Club of New York. Whether or not that is the case, it is clear that he was motivated by his strong devotion to the financial community and to the American free enterprise system.

This is just the type of self-sacrifice that is characteristic of Hope men and women. We have almost come to expect it from our graduates and we point to Robert Haack with pride as a representative of all the attributes which led Calvin VanderWerf to observe that for "more than a century Hope College has sent to the four corners of the world, alumni who have enriched their professions and humanity fa r out of proportion to their numbers." This, Bob Haack has truly done!

A View of the China Trip G. Larry Penrose Mr. Penrose joined Hope’s history faculty in 1970. He is a candidate for the Ph.D. at Indiana University in Inner Asian history, Turkish language, and Russiim, history. His current research includes an analysis of a 17th Century Central Asian Turkish history and the continuity of the Inner Asian diplomatic tradition.

Much of the historical significance of the President’s journey to China is about to be obscured. The final communique, speculation about the trip’s timing and effect in relation to domestic politics, and the task of assimilating a good deal of new and first-hand information about contemporary China are already combining to push the East Asian historical context of the mission into the background.

Westerners may tend to be unmoved by the knowledge that the China trip signals an end to 200 uniformly disastrous year's of Chinese experience with the west. It might be well to remember that however vibrant our hopes for the future, they are conditioned by what has gone before. Whatever else might be thought of Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai, they do speak for a China that at long last compels serious attention as a m ajor power. They represent a successful Chinese solution to the challenge of western imperialism and industrial technology, which threatened to destroy China in the nineteenth century. For the Chinese, perhaps for Asians in general, a great humiliation is over.

At first the Chinese did not really understand the nature of the western thr-eat. Indeed, they did not take it seriously at all. How could a handful of bearded barbarians and their small ships be a threat to the world’s highest civilization? Forever in the past, attack had come from the Inner Asian frontiers of China.

Though dynasties founded by the mounted archers from the steppes of Mongolia had often ruled China, Chinese civilization had always triumphed and had turned the conquerors into Chinese.

It fell to the British, who wanted only tea at first, to convince the Chinese that the western threat was a real one. Tea was big business. After

y

1810 the English brewed 26 million pounds of Chinese tea every day. The Chinese did not really mind since they were pleased to see the British enjoying the fruits of Chinese civilization.

The westerners paid for the tea with silver which meant that trade was imbalanced to China’s advantage. But, the Chinese restricted trade to the single legal port of Canton, and they regarded trade as a privilege extended to individuals, not as a right open to any nation state. Furthermore, the Chinese annoyed the vigorous young westerners with many irritating restrictions on day to day business in Canton.

In 1793 the British sent the first serious diplomatic mission to China to negotiate revisions in the trade at Canton. A certain Lord Macartney, “Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China,” Privy Councillor and Viscount made the trip under the guise of wishing the Ch’ien Lung Emperor a happy 83rd birthday. Macartney was also to discover all that lie could about China, remove the trade restrictions, and most bizarre, he was to create in China a desire for British goods. He failed except in the graciously received birthday wishes and in finding something out about China.

Among other things, he noticed that the Chinese depended on an army equipped with bows and arrows. His diplomacy failed because the Chinese refused to take the west seriously; when they had been taught to do so, diplomacy was no longer necessary.

By the 1820's, the British were victors in Europe on the one hand, and protecting, on the other, a new kind of China trade, Opium.

Opium shipped by British East India Company from Bengal to Canton in clear contravention of Chinese law kept British India solvent.

The British opted for force rather than diplomacy when the Chinese tried to stop the trade that was both making the Chinese addicts and draining their cash reserves.

The so-called “Opium Wars” resulted in easy and crushing British victories that brought in their wake the series of “unequal treaties” reducing China to colonial humiliation.

After 1842, when the first of these treaties was signed, America scrambled with the rest to gain equal trade advantage. It was not until 1943 that President Roosevelt persuaded the British to free their Chinese ally from the disabling treaty system, and then only from expediency, not because China’s status among nations demanded

it. In the century between 1842 and 1943 the Chinese worked out their response to the western challenge. It was a painful process with many false starts and dead ends. Along the way the best hopes of well meaning westerners were dashed as it became increasingly apparent that Chinese would ultimately determine China’s destiny.

The length and agony of the interval between Macartney and Nixon was nothing more than the interval between western diplomatic approaches to China that were no more than poorly disguised threats which will never be forgotten by the Chinese. In this context it may not be very important that the President has gone to talk to a communist. It is important, it is momentous, that Mr. Nixon has gone to break bread with the Chinese as equals.

HOPE IN CHINA, Editor's Note: Hope men and women have been interested in the people of China for nearly a century.

Dr. John A. Otte, a graduate of 188S, went to China as a medical missionary in 1887; Rev. John G, Fagg, class of 1881, Went there as an evangelistic missionary in 1888.

Dr. Otte, the first medical, missionary com­ missioned by the Reformed Church in America, built hospitals in SioKhe (sixty miles from Amoy) in 1880 and in Amoy in 1898. The latter he named Hope Hospital “after my Altna Mater in Holland, Michigan.”

Dr. Otte and the Rev. Mr. Fagg began a march by 41 graduates spanning the years from 1881 to 1985 who chose to treat and teach in China. Including Dr. Otte, four served in the medical profession, several were nurses, and the remainder were preachers and teachers.

Miss Nettie R. De Jong, one of the above, wrote in 1905, "In China, the supreme moment for missions has come. The eyes of the ivorld are turned to China. She pleads for evangelization, and her door is open to A?nerica as it is to no other nation.”

The class of 1914 sent six of its 40 graduates to China. One, Clarence Hollemm, M.D., senwed Dr. Otte*s Hope Hospital as superintendent for 20 years. When he turned the office over to Dr. Huang in 1950, the staff numbered twenty full-time doctors and internes; all except Dr. Holleman we?'e orientals. Miss Jeanette Veldman R.N. ’26 was supei'intendant of the nursing staff numbering twenty-nine; all orientals except Miss Veldman and Miss Anna Ruth De Young R.N. *42.

Thailand, Peace Corps, Leprosy, Loneliness John Lyons *70 wrote this narrative of Ms ‘life experience* from the Leprosy Control Division, XJbol, Thailand on January 23,1972. John has been serving in the Peace Corps since October 1970. Word has been passed on by his father in Birmingham, Michigan, that “except for occasional periods of homesickness, fighting dysentery and dengue, he is happy in his work.** John’s address now is McKean Leprosy Institute, Chiengmai, Thailand.

T hailand, Peace Corps, Leprosy, loneliness, the fresh, energetic excitement of learning, and the satisfaction of seeing knowledge gained before being used to achieve something today, have been some of the parts of my life experience for more than a year now since my days at Hope College. I will try to tell you what has oceured in this time in some sort of pattern. Some of it has been hell— some of it beautiful, but most of it I am still within and can’t see as yet what it has been and what might come from it. All of it comes under that total game of ‘growth and decay’ no m atter what you are in or where you are in it (it, being my individual ‘living participation’). But let me tell you of some of the points to this past experience of mine.

After graduating from Hope in ‘70’ there came another invitation to further my educational quest in the military. But bootcamp, guns, and the severe status system of the military didn’t seem like any of this could give me what I was wanting; that being my continued environment that gave me freedom to learn. Growth is most important to me in relation to the opposite state being regression which is an attribute to decay. I applied to New Brunswick and the Peace Corps and was accepted by both.

I then went to South America for the rest of the summer to enjoy myself and to make some choices in my mind. Was also accepted to Peabody Conservatory of Music but the draft barred that out completely. A tenor is of no value to the United States Government.

My invitation from PC was for Thailand (which was one of my choices on my application) and work in their Leprosy Control project. First . !rr. • y L ­ ! >—•. !

I checked out Leprosy and my probability of picking it up while working with the disease.

Found that there was little chance of this happening and after South America I realized I wanted to keep traveling and I wasn’t ready for seminary or any Master’s program yet— so I joined up.

They first sent me to Hawaii for training.

Fort Dix could never compete with this Peace Corps ‘boot camp’. The language training was about six hours every day. But the weekends in “paradise” made up for the grind in those language classes. Thai is a tonal language in that one word said in five different tones means five different words and some are antonyms like the words beautiful and unlucky which certainly gave me problems in the beginning when being brought into the home of a friend and you come out with something like “You truly have an unlucky house” and particularly in a Chinese or Indian home that is not the right thing to say. The tones are mid, falling, rising, low, and high. Chinese has only four tones and I really wanted to go to Red China but I guess you can't have everything.

The writing is Sanskrit based and that is a whole struggle in itself.

Then the Leprosy boys, of which there were six and now there are only two, were sent to Thailand to have further training at the national Leprosarium outside Bangkok. It was a depressing, lonely, place and three of our group quit shortly after. The fourth fellow left three months later and now there are only two of us in-country now. I was sent to the Northeast and the province of Ubol. This province borders Laos and Cambodia. In my town of Ubol there also happened to be the second largest United States Airforce base in S.E. Asia.

I could tell you quite a story about my living in a GI town in S.E. Asia but that I am going to save to put into a paperback. War is an ever-present part" of this province and especially when the "Viet Cong” have attacked the base with their small commando groups, twice since I have been here. But most of the time I have been working out in the jungle and also along the border of Laos and don’t know what is happening around me until I return to town and read it in the Bangkok Post, the national newspaper. When the military coup took place I didn’t know about this either until this news came out to the village where I was working about a week later. Most people felt it wasn’t such a major change for those who took over really ran the show before. But some of the rebellious minds spoke their grievances quietly.

This is another part of Thailand.

The strongest impressions I have of Thailand have come through my being a field worker working with Leprosy. The disease is curable and the patients can be helped successfully if they come to a doctor early enough to report their problem but unfortunately having symptoms of simple anesthesia on areas of their body is not enough to bring them to a doctor and the social fear of being classified as a "Leper,” (Leprosy patient) is their strongest reason for not bringing their little problem to anyone’s attention.

After three or four years have passed the disease has then deeply set in. That’s all that is needed for them to start losing their fingers, toes, and the motor skills they used to have. Then they come to a doctor to be cured and the doctor can stop the disease—but the damage has already been done.

This poor disease, unlike TB or cancer, has been slammed so badly socially by bad publicity by

way of some of the world’s ‘‘Great Books” the Bible, Koran, etc. . . . that today the real problem is social and psychological and not so much medical. The amount of fear and prejudice that exists today about Leprosy is astounding.

The social action against Leprosy is as it was 400 years ago for almost all of Asia. There are a few good institutions in S.E. Asia that I know of that are doing something about this medical disease and social illness but the problem is great and these places are small in resources, influence and finances. \ / V o r k m g in the jungle and in the villages has been a powerful and compassionate gathering of experiences evolving into some sort of degree of knowledge as to what a human being in a village in Northeast Thailand goes through to survive. Plunger, children, sickness, rice, rain, heat, and sweat at rather organized times; water buffalo and dogs, the dust of the cold season in and on everything; babies dying and old people dying—these make up for a part of the scene. Have delivered two babies on my own and helped with two other deliveries in village houses. What a feeling it is to have a child come out of an incredible cavern of human flesh into your hands and into existence. They call me “doctor” and “teacher” in some of these villages now. This has brought about moments when I have come into a feeling that gives me a sudden sense of power and satisfaction and happiness. I call these my ‘Albert Schweitzer highs/ But they are snuffed out all too quickly by the sadness of seeing people fail with their noble but in the end hopeless efforts of human survival. Many children die in the villages. Only the very lucky and strong succeed. I had a seven year old girl die in my arms of malaria about four months ago. The parents said nothing, had no tears, but picked up their dead child wrapped in a gray, dirty blanket and walked out to a dusty road to walk back eight kilometers to their old village.

I was so sick from this sadness I couldn't cry.

Every time I remember this I can feel a bit of that sickness—but it goes away and that is one of the most valuable pieces of understand­ ing to come into my mind.

I am soon to move to Chiengmai to work at the McKean International Leprosy Institute in the north of Thailand. I will be the first American to work here. My job will be to help organize their field program. My newly adopted

son Aaron will go with me. He is one and a half years old. Plis mother died giving birth to him and his father has just recently died of cancer but I knew him before he died and he made me take his son. I have had four other children offered to me but those still had a chance in a family and in their village. But this boy had no chance and no family and probably would have been sold off. I first took Luang, his ‘old’ Thai name, to the Catholic orphanage in Ubol and that was going to be the end of my involvement. But I started helping out at the orphanage and with this baby boy and he started to become a part of me and I a part of him. And now we are a family of two. Have had my servant woman taking care of him while I have been out in the field. Both his parents were Thai but there also seems to be some Western and Chinese blood in him too. The way the world is turning these days that would seem to be the best way to be.

One of the four clinics at McKean is located twelve kilometers from the Burmese border.

There I hope to learn something about Burma and the hill tribes. Consumed a good bit about Laos and Cambodia in Ubol. Hope to come home for a seven week vacation around Christmas time and then I will probably return to Thailand if my enthusiasm is still up for Leprosy and Thailand as it is a t the moment. Who knows?

Dr. Den Uyl's per­ sonal gift provided for an annual in­ come to be used to fund the fellow­ ship program. The Den Uyl Fellows are expected to devote their full sum­ mer’s activity to the projects they have outlined.

Dr. Irwin Brink, professor of chem­ istry since 1957, has been named the fifteenth Den Uyl Fellow by the Col­ lege Status Committee. The Den Uyl Fellowship is the highest award that can be given a Hope College teacher by his faculty colleagues.

The terms of the fellowship place first emphasis upon the recipient's established record as a teacher of marked distinction, but also require that he present a proposal of con­ siderable scope promising future ben­ efits to the College. Dr. Brink will pui’sue his established research pro­ gram in solid state thermodynamics.

The first Den Uyl Fellow was Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, now professor of philosophy and head of the depart­ ment at Hope College, who was named in 1959. Dr. Dykstra used the

period of his fellowship in curriculum study for the Department of Philos­ ophy with emphasis on the history of philosophy. In 1960 Dr. Henry Voogd, professor of religion and chairman of the De,partment of Religion, received the honor and Dr. Clarence De Graaf, professor of English, who this year is completing his forty-fourth year on the faculty of Hope College, was named the Den Uyl Fellow in 1961.

In 1962 Professor Edward Welters, then chairman of the department of Latin, and recently retired from the faculty, undertook advanced studies in Rome under the Fellowship and in 1963 Dr. Jay Folkert, chairman of the Department of Mathematics, under­ took advanced post-graduate study at the University of California at Los Angeles in numerical analysis.

In 1964 two Den Uyl Fellows were named, both from the Department of English, Dr. Henry tenHoor and Dr. James Prins. Dr. tenHoor spent the summer in advanced studies of the works of Shakespeare at Stanford University and Dr. Prins studied Twentieth Century English Litera­ ture at the University of London. Dr. Lars Granberg, a t that time chair­ man of the Department of Psychology at Hope College, and now President of N o rth w e ste rn College, Oi*ange City, Iowa, was the 1965 Den Uyl Fellow who worked in California in the field of logotherapy.

In 1966 ‘Dr. Morrette Rider, then professor of music and now Dean for Academic Affairs at Hope, used the Fellowship to study the stylistic in­ terpretations of twentieth century music with Sir Adrian Bouldt, Elbe Leinsdorf and the Boston Symphony Orchestra and in 1967 another mem­ ber of the music faculty, Dr. Anthony Kooiker, was awarded the Fellowship for postdoctoral piano lite r a tu r e study with Frank Mannheimer.

Dr. William Schrier, then chairman of the Department of Speech at Hope College and recently retired from the faculty, made use of the grant to pre­ pare manuscripts which resulted in the publication of a book entitled, "Winning Hope College O ra tio n s 1941-1966.'' Dr. John Hollenbach, for­ merly Vice President for Academic Affairs a t Hope and chairman of the Department of English, was awarded the Den Uyl Fellowship in 1969 to study the image of the Arab peoples as presented in the writings of Mark Twain. The 1970 Den Uyl Fellow was Dr. Hubert Weller, chairman of

the Department of Foreign Languag­ es, who undertook extensive research into the works of the Peruvian poet, Rafael de la Fuente Benavides, and in 1971 Dr. Arthur Jentz, professor of p h i l o s o p h y , engaged in research and writing in the area of ''ethical values in an age of science."

The impact of the Den Uyl Fellow­ ship Program has been great at Hope College and has provided unusual op­ portunities for established faculty members to engage in studies com­ plimentary to their growth and de­ velopment as effective teachers and in the acquisition of knowledge in many areas, all of this resulting in a direct benefit leading to an 'improvement in the quality of liberal education.

PUBLISHES THIRD BOOK

Dx\ William Schrier’s Contest Or­ atory: A Handbook is a 1971 publica­ tion of Scarecrow Press. The author was Professor of Speech and Coach of Oratory at Hope College for 28 of his 40 years experience in the field.

Dr. Schrier retired in 1969. “The book is the finished product of $1,000 Si­ mon Den Uyl Summer Study faculty grant in 1968, begun that summer and completed in 1969-70 following my retirement,” said the author.

Contest Oratory is indeed a hand­ book, a handy handbook, specifically “intended for high school and college contestants and coaches,” but an eas­ ily read resource book of practical suggestions for anyone who might have any type of announcement, or problem, or solution to present in public.

Dr. Schrier stresses the continuous need for oratory since it deals “large­ ly with public problems — peace and war, racial prejudice, the population explosion, poverty, inadequate health care, the pollution of our environ­ ment, and others that need to be talked about.”

Individual chapters cover the his­ tory of oratory; the benefits of ora­ tory; subjects for orations; develop­

ing an oration, introductions; conclu­ sions; language of the oration; mem­ orization; delivery, coaching; judg­ ing; audience attendance; and the or­ atory of the future. As may be ex­ pected, Dr. Schrier has used numer­ ous quotations from orations, many from those of his Hope students.

Coaching the Oration, for example, takes up in considerable detail, the role of the contestant and coach dur­ ing composition, revision and delivery rehearsals. Dr. Lionel Crocker of Denison University says of this chap­ ter: the author has “captured the re­ lationship between a coach and con­ testant.”

There are several chapters which characterize the author’s philosophy of oratory. This Business of Winning stresses that the primary motivation should be to get over a message to a specific audience rather than merely winning the contest (This from the coach whose orators’ win-loss record is among the best in the nation?!).

Overstressing winning neglects to recognize that oratory provides the opportunity for promoting good citi­ zenship and for making an impact upon public opinion.

The book is timely in that it urges the use of contest oratory as an out­ let for the justifiable frustrations of young people with the malaise in to­ day’s society.

Fred B. Goodwin, current president of Pi Kappa Delta, national forensic honor society of which Hope has a chapter, wrote of the book, “unques­ tionably this is the most detailed series of recommendations and in­ sights on the preparation of orations available in print.”

Contest Oratory is Dr. Schrier’s third book. Gerrit J. Diekema, Oixtior was published in 1950; Winning Hope College Orations, 19^1-1966, in 1966.

SPECIAL ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Dr. Charles Huttar, professor of English, is pictured in tire Hope-Gen­ eva Bookstore on campus where his book entitled Imagination and the

Spirit is on sale. Published in No­ vember 1971 by William Eerdmans of Grand Rapids, the five hundred page volume includes contributions from a variety of authors and deals with the Christian tradition in literary works.

Dr. Huttar is one of three profes­ sors, one retired, who have published in books during this year. Dr. Wil­ liam Schrier’s Contest Oratory is re­ viewed in this section of this Mag­ azine; Dr. Paul Fried, professor of history provided a major contribution to a book Diklaturen im Nacken by Rolf Italiaander, published in Ger­ many.

These are three examples of the work Hope faculty has done during the past year which Dean Morrette Rider considers contributions to the development of h ig h e r education.

Dean Rider has announced that the faculty has published a total of nine­ ty-six p ro fe s sio n a l papers, mono­ graphs, and books.

This faculty activity supports the established belief that research and advanced study in the various disci­ plines is a necessary component of effective education. While Hope does seek to provide new information and expanded knowledge through its var­ ious research programs, the overrid­ ing purpose a t this College is the im­ provement of teaching and learning.

In support of this philosophy, nearly ail research activities conducted by Hope faculty are joint faculty-stu­ dent projects.

Recently a front page story ap­ peared in the London Times dwelling on the discoveries of “two” Hope Col­ lege faculty members in the area of race relations attitudes. The research was attributed to Dr. David Myers and “Dr.” George Bishop of Hope College. While Dr. Myers was correcly identified as a member of the Hope psychology faculty, George Bishop was at that time a member of the junior class. This example is not an unusual one, since frequently Hope students are listed as co-authors with faculty members in publications.

Faculty and student creative efforts in the fine arts areas result in public presentations of a nature different from the publication of papers and books. During the past year, the Mu­ sic Department presented more than seventy recitals and concerts in more than a dozen different states. These range from solo faculty recitals to large group performances. In the De­ partment of Art, Delbert Michel and Robert Vickers have provided original illustrations for recently published books, and various members of the a rt faculty have presented one man shows of other creative work in a large variety of college and commer­ cial galleries throughout the country.

Lewis finished his M.A. in Middle Eastern Studies at the American University in Beirut last summer. Here are ex­ cerpts from a letter received by the Alumni Office: “ . . . It’s hard to peg down in a few words just what is

it’s still happening a t such a great rate. When we left the States in 1967, it was with the mandate to think new thoughts and see new things about the ways in which we of the RCA could best serve the Mid­ dle East. This has not always been easy; more often it’s been diificult and sometimes even painful. We feel more deeply committed to the Arab world now than ever before, but, whereas our earlier commitment could be characterized as romantic, we find our new attachment more critical. . .

Our present return to Beirut is de­ signed to establish some ground work and a correspondence system which will serve both the aspirations of the Arab churches to be heard in the United States and the goals of this program. All this could fit in with an overall plan for church renewal which is still in process of growing out of the experience of Mission Fes­ tival 71."

Ask an Indian

the Board of Missions of the United Methodist Church, Dr. Lovai studied theology at Rutgers, completed his master's degree a t the University of Chicago and a doctorate in education a t the University of Michigan. He did postdoctoral work in journalism and creative writing at Iowa State University. He and Mrs. Levai, Mar­ ian Korteling M.D. ’47, a psychia­ trist, are the parents of four daugh­ ters and a son.

The Honorable Chester Bowles, former Ambassador from the United States to India expressed Iris hope that Ask an Indian About India be a success, and stated “Certainly every­ thing we can possibly do to create a better understanding of India . . . serves the cause of world peace and understanding.”

Arthur* Lall, former Ambassador from India to the United States, and permanent representative of India to the United Nations, wrote in the fore­ word “ . . . the book presents India unvarnished, genuine and without the biases of airy other author, foreign or indigenous.”

The book includes frank statements from India’s prime minister, Indira Gandhi, as well as from prominent educators, journalists, religious lead­ ers and health care proponents; also, an exclusive interview with that world renowned interpreter of Indian music, Ravi Shankar. The quotes from these people reveal the frustra­ tions as well as the optimism of the nation that now represents one-sixth of the human race.

A portrait tablet commemorating the life of the late Edward Daniel Dimnent was unveiled in Dimnent Memorial Chapel in December. The tablet is affixed to the left entrance of the narthex under the tower.

Dr. Dimnent, a graduate of Hope in 1896, was a member of the faculty from 1897 to 1948 and Fifth Pres­ ident of the College, 1918 to 1931.

The tablet inscription 1‘eads: Businessman, Poet, Philosopher, Playwright, Wit, Spiritual Leader, but Always the Teacher. Student, Professor, President, President Emer­ itus; Hope College was his life for Seven Decades. He Dreamed, Planned, and Perfected in Detail this his Mas­ terpiece—Dimnent Memorial Chapel.

Haar, left, with his Dad Del manning the stroller, and Dave Bruggers with Dad Glenn, have been on campus for two and three years respectively.

Tim, a sophomore, from Anaheim, California is nuxjoi'ing in ancient civ­ ilization; his extra curricular activity is working a t Herrick Public Library in Holland.

Dave, a junior, from Fukuoka, Japan is majoring in biology and has his eye on a career as a naturalistauthor; he is active in the Campus Crusade for Christ.

The parents who subtly directed their sons to their Alma Mater are Delbert r44 and Gertrude Maassen ’47 Vander Haar who serve the Reformed Church in America through the Gen­ eral Program Council. Delbert is sec­ retary for the western regional serv­ ices and family life, Anaheim, Cal­ ifornia.

tivities. Brenda, an English major, is on the cultural affairs committee of the Student Congress. Carey and Cathy, twins, sing in the Chapel Choir. Carey is majoring in biology with a business minor (a Baker Scholar); Cathy, an a rt major, is taking education with a goal of doing graduate work for a teaching certifi­ cate, kindergarten th ro u g h g ra d e twelve. Dan, in the College Chorus, hasn’t chosen his major yet, but is thinking of political science and/or religion.

All the Bootes are interested in music and played in the Hull High School Band: Brenda and Cathy played flute; Carey, the baritone, and Dan, trombone. They’re pretty proud of the fact, too, that they all took piano lessons—and from the teacher

who taught Dr. Anthony Kooiker when he was growing up in Hull. Dr, Kooiker plays concert piano and is on the piano faculty a t Hope now.

Mr. and Mrs. Boote like music too and practice it by singing in Hull’s First Reformed Church Choir. The whole family is active in the church otherwise, also. Asked if the family participates in any other type of fam­ ily activity, Brenda said, “there’s no time for other activity. We’re all so busy working on the farm when we’re home.”

The Bootes have a modern dairy farm outside Hull. Thfeir approxi­ mately 100 head of registered Holstein-Friesian cattle are the features of the farm, but they do raise lots of hogs, poultry, and other usual farm stock.

Robert Bone ’71, right, crewed on the Lightning Finesse that won the World Championship in Helsinki, Finland in July 1971.

A Lightning is a 19 foot sailboat with a three man crew. The World Champion Finesse is owned by Bill Shore of Buffalo, New York. Bill, his wife Bonnie, and Robert crewed the craft in the championship races held the week of July 22 through 29th; the week before, they had won the European Championship, also held in Helsinki.

The world championship regatta entailed six races over a ten mile course with the participants able to throw out one of their finishes, thus counting five races for the champion­ ship. The winds for the regatta were diversified with the sailors experienc­ ing light, medium, and heavy air.

One race was finished in a fog that limited visibility to ten feet. The fin-

ishes for Finesse were 1, 3, 3, 1, 3, for a low point total that beat the next boat by twelve points.

Robert has been sailing with Bill for three years. He started sailing Lightnings ten years ago. For his work last summer Robert received some glassware from Finland and a gold medal.

Robert’s brother, Larry Bone ’69, crewed last August on a Lightning representing the United States in the Pan American Games in Colombia, South America. Larry's crew won second and a silver medal.

Robert and Larry, with an older brother Peter, won the North Amer­ ican Lightning Championship in Mil­ waukee in August 1971.

Currently an admissions counselor a t Hope, Robert will go to San Diego in August 1972 to assist Bill and Bon­ nie Shore in defending the World Championship.
