Like so mary of the colleges in our country, Hope College is the product of immigration and the child of the Church. As early as 1 8 3 6 the Reformed Church in America, one of the oldest church organizations in this country, dis­ cussed the desirability of planting higher institutions of learning out upon the western frontier. In 1 8 4 7 and in subsequent years a goodly number of colonists from the Netherlands settled in Western Michigan and in other localities of some of the Western States. They were devout people, and sought this country to secure a higher degree of material prosperity and religious liberty than their own country afforded. In 1 8 5 0 these colonists united themselves with the Re­ formed Church and in this union was to be found the realiza­ tion of what the Church had long hoped for and desired, viz., the establishment of a Christian institution of higher educa­ tion 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. He realized that if his peo­ ple were to be a success in this country, and to be more than hewers of wood and drawers of water, they must have the advantage of intellectual and moral training. Already in 1 8 5 1 , when life was but little more to them than a struggle for existence, they heroically laid the founda-' tion for higher education. A nd“in l8 5 7 , 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 1 8 6 6 , an institution regulary, chartered under the laws of the state. Three years latler the Western Theological Seminary was established. ., The persistent efforts and self-denying spirit displayed by these pioneers gave abundant proof that they ' were worthy descendants of the vigorous stock of,Leyden’s de­ fenders. 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 beginning was, indeed, feeble; but the founders baptized it with a spirit of devotion and self-sacrifice that defied all difficulties and _ . ■- ! , i ' 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 institu­ tion could not be rapid, but it has been steady and whole­ some. In its development and growth the trustees have always strictly adhered to the object declared bv the ieadT ing originators of the pioneer school when, they used the following words: , , “Believing that the,school proposed to be. established among the Holland Colonists in Ottawa county and vicinity, Michigan, for the purposes, and after the manner, 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 th& intellectual, moral, and religious state' of said colonists, and that it will tend greatly to promote the growth and usefulness of our .insti­ tutions and to enlarge and strengthen our influence for good as a church of Jesus Christ, aud that the means contributed for the support of said school as proposed will be spent up­ on 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 whom it may be presented.” (Signed by these pillars in the Reformed Church:) . .TAMES I. CANN O N , THEO. PRELINGHUYSEN, WM. H. CAMPBELL, THOMAS DE WITT, SAMUEL A. VAN VRANKEN, I. PROUDPIT. To prove to the world that these men spoke as with prophetic vision, it is but necessary to state that already more than 3 0 0 have graduated from this college, and that sixty per cent of them have 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 to-day felt around the globe. More than a score of our graduates have devoted 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 ’4 7 and those who came later, made the organization of these institutions a possibility.; and these institutions in turn have supplied pastors for most of the churches belonging to the Particular Synod.of Chicago, which comprises 1 8 6 organizations. Such in brief is the history of the College and Seminary/ About two hundred young people are now connected with them as students. The College has a large field. Its con­ stituency covers a territory from New York in the East to the Dakotas in the West. The outlook, as far as the student material is concerned, 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 Christian education. The tendencies which have been taking shape very rapidly in the last ten years have made the° selection of a college for the instruction of boys and girls who have reached adolescence a far different matter than it was for­ merly. In our country the high school has its mission as ‘ one of the parts of that system of education by which the State seeks to prepare the young for citizenship. The state university, taking up education where the high school leaves it, holds a similar position to that of the high school in the estimation of the people. There are, however, a large number of circumstances in the lives of many young people which neither the high school nor the university is at present able to meet. It is these circumstances, to­ gether with certain requirements in the life of our nation as a whole, which Hope College eims to meet. The uncer­ tainty of high school curriculums in many places cannot be avoided at present. Public education is such in its very nature that it must reflect the passing and uncertain ten­ dencies of the times; it must be adapted to the mass rather than to the individual. At times local conditions determine Its character exclusively, and again these same conditions are lost to view entirely. Only rarely are the schools so equipped either in teaching force or apparatus that indiliLal may be properly educated by •needs; removing his difficulties and watching his develop- nicnt ill character. In itis Preparatory School Hope College seeks to pro­ vide for just these contingencies." Its currmulum is the outcome of a careful study of the needs of mdivffiual, the whole student body and the life of the nation. W he courses offered are based upon a broad conception of what it means td educate a bby for the life of tomorrow the fact-that the character of a man and the permanent h . tbrv of a nation are developed along world-old channels is conservatively kept in mind. All the good of the new is S u S t for; none if the worth of the old is lost. Avoiding constant changes in teaching force and teachers of the highest ability and proven skill, Hope Col

T'-TlTthree courses bfleredin the Preparatory School, the Classical, the Latin and the Normal-Scientific, differ foi tie sak'b of meeting varying needs and purposes and each is be- licVed'to'be fully adapted to the end sought. .In each of these courses Christianity as a religion, for every day use is taught and applied with the Bible as textbook. In these days of moral uncertainty among all classes and of especial danger for the young, we call attention to the attitude of Hope College in this matter, since we feel that it is one of the highest aspects of our mission as an educational institu­ tion to meet this phase of American life. ’ In the College proper the aim is similar to that in the Preparatory School as we have suggested it in brief above,— a broad education along conservative lines looking to the development of the individual iu mind and character and to the welfare and permanence of our nation. In the two courses offered, the Classical and Philosophical— a broadlv scientific course,— we strive to meet the demands which are most imperative. W e are certain that these two courses insure the development of a refined sense and aesthetic taste, a practical utility in the life and affairs of a progressive world, a manly character and a loyal citizenship. While enough elective courses are provided to insure all the benefits of the elective system, the evils of a large num­ ber of electives is done away with. By choosing the purely pedagogic studies as they are described under the state­ ment of work in Pedagogy and Psychology, a student en­ rolled in either the Classical or Philosophical group may fit himself for teaching and obtain the Michigan State Teach­ er’s Certificate without regular normal school attendance. A more detailed statement of the different advantages offered at Hope College will be found elsewhere in this catalog. ' T h e Council

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 Preparatory School or from other institutions of like character and grade; 2. By presenting a diploma from any high school ac­ credited by the University of Michigan; ' 8. By passing a satisfactory examination upon the us­ ual preparatory studies leading to the course desired. Students may enter an advanced class either at the be­ ginning of the college year or at other times provided they sustain a.satisfactory examination both on the preparatory studies and on those already passed over by the class which they propose to enter. If students are received on condition, they may in certain cases be permitted to recite with the class but all conditions must be removed before regular admission. . ROLL OP STUDENTS. Seniors.

'The Preparatory School. ADMISSION. Pupils holding a so-called “Eighth Grade Diploma’ will be admitted to the “D ” class without examination, pro­ vided that the general average stand at 8 0 or over, and the standing in any one branch be not under 7 0 ; while appli­ cants who do not have such certificate, will be subject to a strict examination in the common school branches. Arith­ metic, English Grammar and Composition, United States History, Geography (not including Physical), Reading and Orthography. The examination 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 an examination in the studies previously pursued by the class. If the applicant be re­ ceived on condition, these conditions must be removed be­ fore 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 excep­ tion of Greek, he will find it very difficult to make up the deficiency. It would have been better for the applicant to have come two years earlier and entered the “B ” class where Greek is begun. Three parallel courses, Classical, Latin and Normal- Scientific, are offered in the Preparatory School, any one of which the student may select under the supervision of the Faculty. In addition to these three an individual course of study will be arranged for by the Faculty for any who de­ sire other work than that scheduled in the regular courses. 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 entrance into the Freshman class of any college or university. In particular the Normal-Scientific Course is planned especially for those young people who wish to fit themselves for teaching either in the country districts or in the grades of village or city schools. Thorough instruction and late reviews. are given in all subjects required 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 offered in our best College Normals. The Normal-Scientific Course does not lead to any cor­ responding course in the College Department, it being ar­ ranged especially for those who do not plan at once to enter College. ' The different lines of work receive the same careful at­ tention 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 profession­ al training or for a business life.

ENGLISH The Preparatory School— 1 . Grammar— All the sections are required to take a thorough I’eview of Porinal Grammar, both for its practical use in the English Department, as well as for the value such a drill affords as a preparation for the study of foreign lang­ uages. Text-book, Longman’s Grammar to Participles. Fourteen weeks, five recitations per week.— Prof. Nykerk. 2 . Grammar— This course must be preceded by Course 1 , and must be pursued by all the sections. Text-book the same as in Course 1 , completed; analyzing and parsing of selections from prose and poetry. Twelve weeks, five recitations per week.— Prof. Nykerk. 3 . Grammar Reviews— This course is intended for the Normal-Scientific section, and purposes to give a special linguistic drill as a substitute for Latin. Twelve weeks, five hours per week.— Prof. Beardslee. ■ 4 . Grammar Reviews-This course is a continuation of Course 3 , and must be preceded by it. Ten weeks, five hours per week.— Prof. Nykerk. 5 .

Twelve weeks, five hours per week.— Prof. Nykerk. 0 . Compositiou and Rhetoric— In the Preparatory School, more stress is laid on the constructive than on the negative or critical side of the study of rhetoric. Much paragraph work and theme-writing is required, and the manuscript is carefully reviewed by the instructors. The course is for all the sections. Text-book, Kavana and Beatty’s Composition and Rhetoric, Parts I. and II. Ten weeks, five hours per week.— Prof. Nykerk. 1 0 . Composition and Rhetoric— This course is a continua­ tion of Course 9 , and must be preceded by it. Parts HI., IV., V. and VI. of the text-book are studied.

Literature— Macaulay’s Essay on Milton; Milton’s L'Allegro, II Penseroso, Comus and Lycidas. 'Ten weeks, five hours per week.— Prof. Nykerk. The courses in English Masterpieces, required in all the sections, and including 6, 7 , 8, 1 1 and 1 2 , conform to the recommendation of the “English Conference of the'Eastern and Middle States.” The aim 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 insight with idiomatic force and fluency. In con­ nection 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 instruc­ tors. The memorizing and expressive rendering of choice selections from the prescribed classics is also deemed of the utmost importance. These courses are found in detail above. Besides the usual collateral work, students are re­ quired to read Halleck’s History of English Literature, or its equivalent. The College— 1 . Rlietorie-(Bequired in All Sections)— The ideal in this course is to teach the student the art of expressing himself with graceful facility and logical cogency, as well as to fur­ nish him with criteria for judging the value of a literary work. Fourteen short themes and three long themes are required. This work is supplemented by occasional ora­ tions written during the remainder of the college course and delivered under the supervision of the department of elocution. Text-book, Baldwin’s College Manual of Rhe­ toric. Fourteen weeks, five hours per week..— Prof. Nykerk. 2 . English Literature— This must be preceded by Course 1 , and is required in all sections.

Browning (1 9 0 4 -1 9 0 5 )—This is a required course io all sections, and must be preceded by Courses 1 , 2 and 3 . Ten weeks, five hours per week.— Prof. Nykerk. • 6. The Eighteenth Century Novel (1 9 0 5 -1 9 0 6 ).— This is a re­ quired course in all sections, and must be preceeded by courses 1 , 2 and 3 . Ten weeks, four hours per week.— Prof. Nykerk. • In the literature courses, considerable independent research is required of the student, to be followed by for­ mal reports. In the study of Poetry, substance and form . each receives due attention— on the one hand, by an inquiry into the poet’s theory and interpretation of life; on the other hand, by the study of artistic expression in its va­ rious forms. A further aim in these courses is to help the student discriminate between the different schools of Poetry and Fiction, and to assist him in tracing the various influ­ ences that have combined to form Classic English Prose.

DUTCH. 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 meetings of □ early all of the Reformed churches of the particular Synod of Chicago and in many of our churches East.

This class meets, during 1 9 0 4 -1 9 0 5 , every day, except Fridays, from 5 to (( p. m. and is open to all students.— Prof Raap.

HISTORY. The work in this department aims to give the student a general view of the progress and development of the race, and, by reference work, to give him a fuller knowledge of the important periods of history. To secure these ends the text-book, the lecture, and the reference or the laboratory methods are combined. In the Preparatory School all of the courses outlined be­ low are required of all the students entering the Classical, Latin or Normal-Scientific Departments. In the “D ” year three full terms— with four hours’ class work each week— are given to the study of General History, exclusive of Greek and Roman History. In the “C” year two terms— five recitations each week— are given to Greek and Roman History. In the “B ” year the three terms— five hours each week— are given to United States History and Civics, devoting about half of the school year to each study.

Papers are required each week from all the members of the class upon all the different subjects included in the science of economics and two papers involving individual research work are assigned each student during the term The se­ cond of these two papers for 1 9 0 4 -0 5 , embraces the investi­ gation of the economic and social conditions of the City of Holland in 1 9 0 5 , its religious, social and industrial aspects; marriage, birth and mortuary statistics; civic, political and educational history, etc.— Prof. Dimnent.

MATHEMATICS. The preparatory work in Mathematics embraces Arith­ metic, Algebra and Geometry. For admission to the “D ” class is required an eighth grade diploma, or its equiva­ lent, or an examination in arithmetic is required equivalent to that which entitles to a Third Grade Teacher’s Certificate in this state. The first term is devoted to a review of the . whole subject and the introduction of 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 ex­ tended general view of the subject at the end of the “C ” year. • Geometry is begun the second term of the ‘ ‘B ” and com­ pleted the first term of the “A ” year. Id all these both facility in computation and thorough, ness and breadth of information are made the aim of the instruction, so as to lay an adequate foundation for future study in Mathematics. The Freshman class takes up Plane and Spherical Trig­ onometry and Surveying or College Algebra. In the Sophomore year follows the application of the principles of Trigonometry to Surveying, Navigation, and Astronomy, after which Analytical Geometry and Calculus conclude the course in pure Mathematics.

In 1893 the Legislature of Michigan enacted a law pro­ viding that graduates from Michigan Colleges who have done an amount of work in the Science and Art of Teach­ ing equivalent to five and one-half hours recitation work per week for one college year, may, upon recommendation 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 Col­ lege became ready to enter the new field. The object of the department, then, is to provide instruc­ tion 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 pro­ fessional teachers, are yet unwilling to remain in ignorance upon a subject of such vital interest and great import­ ance. 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. ■ - All four terms are required for State Certificate. The election of the pedagogical work does not take the student from his old course, nor does it interfere in the slightest degree with his Seminary preparation or entrance, should he later wish to enter the ministry.

Mr. Pease has studied with such eminent instructors as Romouldo Sapio, Victor Capoul, Albert Lester King, William Lee, Mmd. Parmater (and many others of note), and is amply qualified to produce a natural quality, the result of correct tone-placing. Mr. Pease has been especially successful along this line of work; not limiting his teaching to any one vocal method, but rather giving to each pupil the work and advice which would tend to produce the most satisfactory result to both pupil and teacher. HISTORY OP MUSIC. A course will be offered in the History of Music, under competent directors, as early as circumstances permit and need dictates. G y m n a s i u m . Through the munificence of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, Hope College will erect at once a building for gymnasium and auditorium purposes. Mr. Carnegie gave the sum of twenty thousand dollars on condition that twenty thousand dollars additional should be collected for endowment purpos­ es. President Kollen is now engaged in obtaining this amount, and plans are under way for the construction of the building. The cut on the opposite page shows the sketch which the Committee expect to present to the Council. In all proba­ bility this sketch will be accepted, subject to minor modifi­ cations. It is confidently expected that the building will be ready for use during the next school year. Besides aburdant facilities for gymnastic work the build­ ing will so arranged that it can be used readily for public gatherings and Commencement purposes. o -< s >'z 52 o c > > m z o O fn > I C >

Miscellaneous Information.

LOCATION. ' Holland is a city of nearly 10,000 inhabitants and is centrally located on the Pere Marquette railway. A num­ ber 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 Chicago, distant from the former city 25 miles and from the latter 156 miles. When 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 in the center of the city, between Tenth and Twelfth streets, and contains sixteen acres. It presents a finely varied surface, is 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 was dedicated and occo>- pied September 16, 1903. In it are located the Chemical, {Physical and Biological laboratories, lecture rooms de- tvoted to Physics and Chemistry, Greek, Biology, Ethics, Modern Languages, Elocution, Biblical Instruction, Eng­ lish and Mathematics. A large Assembly Room is locat^ on the third floor in which at present the School of Music is housed. The Museum is also located on the third floor. MARIA L. ACKERMAN HOYT OBSERVATORY. During the present school year a valuable addition has been made to the equipment of the College in the .form of a telescope. Miss Emilie S. Coles generously donated both observatory and telescope in memory of Mrs. Maria L. Ackerman Hoyt. The instrument is an eighteen-inch Newtonian reflecting telescope, with equa­ torial mounting. The eyepiece holder, finder and small .mirror have a rotary attachment. The three eyepieces are respectively of 200, 300 and 500 magnifying power. An­ other accessory is a Herschell Solar eyepiece. The tele­ scope is mounted on a solid concrete pier, and the floor of the observatory, which is independent of the pier, rests on a brick wall eleven feet high, and is enclosed by a substantial iron railing. Herbert A. Thompson of Johnstown, Pa., is the maker of the telescope. SCHOOL YEAR. The scholastic year of forty weeks begins on the third Wednesday in September and ends with the general Commencement on the third Wednesday in June. The winter and spring vacations are fixed by the Faculty. (See Calendar.) ' ADVANTAGES 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 me m ­ ber of the Faculty with every student coming under his instruction, which parents are apt to consider in making o> sX > > T Z

Total ...... $164.00 The above estimate is an answer to those who want to know how much money is absolutely needed and is intended as a reply to that oft-repeated question. Of course the expense of many of the students exceeds this amount; some, however, spend less. Many parents having children to educate find it to their advantage to come to this city to liye. To 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 spiritual tone of the students is such that the matter of discipline is reduced to a minimum. General opinion is on the side of right and reasonableness and lends its powerful sup­ port to the interest of good order and efficient work. To develop this high moral culture and character of the stu­ dent, is the airrf of Hope College, 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 conduct themselves in a respectful and orderly manner, their con­ nection with the institution is suspended, or if it should be found, after due probation and inquiry, that the influ- pce of a student is bad and injurious to others, the right is exercised of requiring the withdrawal of such student. Ihe 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 studeiit 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 &nd gentlemen are not expected to occupy rooms open- ing into the same hall or otherwise connected. Dancing and card playing is proiiiljitcd, 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 our rules none, are to be absent from the institution with­ out permission of the President. TO ALUMNI AND FRIENDS. Hope College is grateful to the Reformed Church in America, whose she is and v/hom she so loyally serves by the men she is furnishing both for the domestic and the foreign field. Hope College is grateful to loyal and liberal friends who here invest their money, not in dead and fleeting things, but in brain and character and souls of men. Be assured, nowhere else will your well-earned money yield larger' returns, in no other way can you render better 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. You 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. MUSEUM. The Museum has been enriched during the year by the presentation by Dr. Jonathan Ackerman Coles, of N e w Y'ork, of replica marbles of Venus de Milo and of Ajax. Both are imported, original-size busts of exquisite workmanship in copying and in detail. They are mounted upon marble pedestals, which are also the gift of Dr. Coles. W e are rarely fortunate in the possession of these statues and deeply grateful to the donor for his gifts, and more than all for the kindly interest in Hope College which prompted him in presenting them. Among Dr. Coles’s previous gifts are the photographs in full size of Apollo Belvedere, Augustus, Michael Angelo’s Moses and the Discus Thrower of Myron; the bronze bust of Houdon’s Washington ; and interest bearing securities, the proceeds of which are to be devoted once in three years to the purchase of a bust of Washington, to be offered as a prize to the student presenting the best ora­ tion on a patriotic subject.

Li ■' CONTRIBUTIONS. Generous 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 who propose to give to nieet 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 who have an honorable ambition to connect their names permanently with an institution that has long ceased to be an experiment and which promises to become ah 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. . FORM 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 o 3) mz JO

Great care has been taken to get the above lists com­ plete and correct. As some of our minute books were lost in the great fire of '71, and as in the early history, of the college catalogues were not published every year, some names may have been omitted. The Faculty will appreciate the kindness of any who may receive this catar lonue and who may recall the names of classmates which have been omitted, and will send such names to the Secretary, Professor Henry Boers. The present address should also be given when it is known. W e regret exceedingly that it was not possible to give the names of those who took a partial course in either of the above departments. At some future time we hope to be able to give a full list of all that have at any time attended this institution. ^ As the first class was graduated from the pioneer Khool in 1854, the present year may, in a certain sense, De considered a jubilee year. Certainly a grand occa­ sion for all of us who have been connected with this institution as students, to show in a tangible way our appreciation and gratitude. Without this institution, how few of us could have secured a liberal education. W e owe a debt of gratitude to the fathers who planted ai3 college m faith and prayer. Let us honor them by fostering this rich heritage. CATALOG
