“are being made available to a select group of colleges that we feel offer particular effectiveness as sources for those who go on to graduate institutions.” The Merck Company Foundation is the foundation of the Merck, Sharp and Dohme Co.
TREES SAVED: Recycling efforts at Hope College have generated31,763 pounds of material since Lubbers Resource
Systems, Inc. , began paper pickups at Hope last January. In September alone, the firm collected 2,648 pounds of paper from the college. According to the company, the 31,763 pounds collected from Hope has resulted in the conservation of 270 trees, 7,337 gallons of oil, 106 cubic yards of landfill space, and $1,300 in deferred disposal costs (money the college did not have to spend to have the trash carried away). The collection process began at Hope with the Computer Center in Durfee Hall and the offices in De Witt Center, but has grown since its inception.
