T h e Missionary Spirit, united with the principle of re ligious liberty and political freedom, gave birth to H o p e Col lege. A s early as 1836 the R e f o r m e d church in America, one of the earliest church organizations in this country, discussed the desirability of planting higher institutions of learning out upon the western frontier. In 1847 and in subsequent years a goodly n u m b e r of colonists f r om 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 o w n country afforded. In 1850 these colonists united themselves with the R e fo rm e d C h ur c h and in this union w a s to be found the realiza tion of w h a t the C h ur c h had long h o pe d for and desired, viz., the establishment of a Christian institution of higher educa tion in the West. ' T h e Hollanders w h o settled in those western wilds, were a religious people and their leader, the Rev. Dr. V a n Raalte, himself a m a n of culture and learning, had a passion for higher Christian education. H e realized that if his people 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 1851, when life was but little more to them than a struggle for existence, they heroically laid the founda tion for higher education. A n d in 1857, w h e n they w e re yet comparative strangers to-the customs and language of the country, they organized Holland Academy, which in turn became H o p e College in 1866, an institution regularly char tered under the laws of-,the State. ' Three' ye‘ars later the W e s t e r n Theological S eminary w a s established. T h e persistent efforts and self-denying spirit displayed by these pioneers gave abundant prgof that they were worthy descendants of the vigorous stock of L e y d e n ’s defenders. T h e history of the founding and- organization of H ope, College is but a repetition of the history of not a few of the leading institutions of qur country. ■ T h e beginning was, in deed, feeble; hut the founders, baptized it with a spirit' of devotion and self-sacrifice that defied all difficulties a'nd tri u m phed over every obstacle and gave it a vital energy which has s h o w n itself in a rich harvest of blessed results. '. In the very nature of things, the gr ow t h of the institution could not be rapid but it has been steady and wholesome. In its development and g r ow t h the trustees have always strictly adhered to the object declared by the leading orig inators of the Pioneer School w h e n they used the following words: ■ ,- ■ “Believing that the school proposed to be established a m o n g the Holland Colonists in Ottawa county and vicinity, Michigan,'for the purposes "and after the manner named in the following qlan, is greatly needed in order to supply them and their children in time to c o m e with a preached gospel and with weil-qualified teachers for their c o m m o n and higher schools, and that such, schools will ha-ve a m o s t important and beneficial effect u p on the intellectual, moral and religious state of said colonists, and that it will-tend greatly to pro mote the growth and usefulness of our institutions and to enlarge arid strengthen our influence, for good as-a church of Jesus Christ, and that the m e a n s contributed for the support • of said school'as proposed will be. spent u p o n an enterprise that promises great and extensive benefit, we,"the underf signed, do therefore hereby m o s t cordially and with con fidence r e c o m m e n d this object to the benevolence and liber ality of those to w h o m it m a y be presented.” . .(Signed by these pillars in the Reformed Church:) James L Cannon, . . ,.Theo. Krelinghuysen, ' . . . .Wm . H . Campbell, ' ' ' T homas D eW itt, . ■ • ' ‘ , Samuel ,A. .Van V ranken, ■ ' ’ I. Proudfit. • T o prove to the world that these»m e n spoke as with prophetic vision, ,it is ,but necessary to ‘ state" that already a b ou t ’400 have graduated fr om this'c'ollege; arid that m o r e than half of t h e m have entered the Gospel' ministry; and that a large n u m b e r of others w h o received' their- training here are engaged in teaching; and,others-are making'their influence for g o o d felt in other professions.' ■ . It m a y be truthfully said that the results have been larger than even .the most sanguine of the pioneer projectors had dared to hope and that the influence of these institutions is today felt around the globe. M o r e than a score of our grad uates have devoted therhselves' to the w o r k of foreign mis sions; and, as our beloved and honored representatives, are m o s t successfully unfurling the banner of Christ a m o n g the people of idolatry and darkness. ' The kind and generous support of the Reformed Church given the colonists of ’47 and those w h o c a m e later, m a d e the organization of these institutions'a possibility; and these in stitutions in turn :have .supplied- pastor's for mo st of the churches belonging to the Particular S y n o d of Chicago, which ' comprises 212 organizations. ' • '. * Such in brief is the history' of the College and Seminary. More than three hundred young people are now connected with t h e m as. students. T h e college has a l.arge field. Its constituency covers the territory fr om the Atlantic coast to .the Pacific slope. ■ ‘ • T h e outlook, as far as'the student material is concerned, is hopeful, and the field is wide and inviting. O u r 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 rap idly in the last ten years have m a d e the selection of a college for the instruction' of boys arid girls w h o have reached adolescence a far different matter than it was formerly. In our country the high school has its mission as one of the parts of that systern of education by which the State seeks to prepare the y o u n g for citizenship. T h e 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. T h er e are, however, a large n u m b e r of circum stances in the lives of m a n y young people which neither the high school nor the state university is able to meet. It is these circumstances, together with certain requirements in the life of our nation as a whole, which H o p e College aims to meet. The uncertainty 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 tendencies of the times; it m u s t be adapted to the mass rather than to the individual. At times local conditions determine its character exclusively and again the same con ditions are lost to view entirely. T h es e conditions mu st con tinue until our country is so thoroughly developed that w e can have a national system, or until our leading institutions adopt a plan that will be national in- scope. A s the matter n o w stands, the weaknesses of our high schools are con tinued in our universities and the d e m a n d s m a d e by the universities in competition, in turn, do d a m a g e to our high school courses. . A n y system of education is open, perforce, to objections. In their practical application the best systems m u s t be flex ible e n o u g h to m e et the needs of the student. This flexibility is dependent upon a number of factors, but chiefly upon adequate equipm'ent, a carefully trained and experienced teaching force and an educational policy which estimates correctly the needs of the student and the nation, and the good elements in each and every pedagogical theory and scheme. Hope College possesses the first two and is seek ing to maintain them. . It is aiming constantly to reach the goal of the last and to hold itself in readiness to adopt every plan which, in combination with other good plans, will effect the purposes of its founders and benefactors. In the College five groups of studies are offered in such a w a y as to afford the advantages of the elective system without its disadvantages and to c o m b i n e with electives those requirements which, in any of the groups, m a k e for a well- rounded development and a preparation for later life in the professions or in commercial and industrial pursuits. It is felt that in these five groups (modified as individual condi tions d e m a n d ) there is insured the development of a refined sense and aesthetic taste, a practical utility in the life and affairs of a progressive world, a m a n l y character and a loyal citizenship. A survey of these groups is given upon another page. In addition to the studies there s h o w n e n o u g h elec tives are offered as the course progresses to ensure all the benefits of the elective system. B y choosing the purely pedagogic studies as they are described under the statement of work in Pedagogy and Psychology, a student enrolled in any one of the five groups m a y fit himself for teaching and obtain the Michigan State Teachers Certificate without fur ther normal school attendance. In the Preparatory School the curriculum is the outcome of a careful study of the needs of the individual, the whole student b o d y and the. life of the nation, f r o m the viewpoint of the scientific training of the boy-or girl w h o is reaching adolescence. The admitted and desirable advantages of our public system for a democratic people are fostered; at the same time there is combined with them the advantages of select private schools by limiting the n u m b e r of students in any given class and by giving the personal attention abso lutely necessary to a careful training of the individual. W h i l e the courses offered are based u p o n a broad- con- ■ ception of what, it "means to educate a boy .for the -life of tomorrow, the fact that the character of a m a n a n d the per manent history of'a nation are developed,along'world-old channels is conservatively kept in mind.. All the,good, of the new is sought for; none of the worth of,the.old is lost. Avoiding constant changes'in' the teaching’force and seek ing to retain teachers of the highest ability and pro.ven skill, H o p e College believes it can develop the .individual b o y or' girl in the best and truest way. According.to approved m o d ern pedagogic and scientific m e t h o d s the pupil’s difficulties are observed and removed. His'ben’t of mi n d and.dispositional ’ tendencies are watched and help'is given where it is needed,- in the most serviceable measure and method. Originality is • fostered wherever it augurs good. T h e religious nature is nurtured by personal contact'with virile Christian character, ' which is not narrow, dogmatic or sectarian in its a i m ’s or •outlook. ' ■■ ’ - T h e three courses offered ’in the Preparatory School, the Classical, the Latin and the Normal-Scientific, differ'for the sake of meeting varying needs and purposes, and each is be lieved to be fully adapted to the end sought. In each of these courses Christianity as a religicn for every' day use is taught and applied with the Bible as te.xt hook. In these days of moral uncertainty a m o n g all classes and of especial danger for the young, w e call attention to the attitude of H o p e Col lege in this matter, since w e feel that it is one of the highest .aspects of our mission as an educational institution- to meet ■this phase of A m e r i c a n life. ■ A m o r e detailed statement of the various advantages of- '.fered at H o p e College will be fciind elsewhere in this book.

' ” ■ ADMISSION Pupils holding a so-called “Eighth G r ade D i p l o m a ” will be admitted to the “D ” class without examination; while ap plicants w h o do not have such certificate, will be subject to a strict examination in the c o m m o n school branches. Arithmetic, English G r a m m a r and Composition. United ‘ States History, Geography (not including Physical), Reading and Orthogra phy. The examination will be graded according to the re quirements of the aforesaid, diploma. In order to enter an y Advanced Class, it will be necessary for the applicant to pass an examination in the studies pre viously pursued b y the class. If the. applicant be received on • condition, these conditions m u s t be r e m o v e d before regular admission. Applicants for admission will not find it conven ient to enter a class if they have not studied all the branches which the class has pursued. T h r e e parallel courses. Classical. Latin and Normal-Scien tific, are offered in the Preparatory School, a n y one of which the student m a y select under the sroervision of the Faculty. In addition to these three an individual course of sfudy will be arranged b y the Faculty for any w h o desire other w o r k than that scheduled in the regular courses. In general in its four years work in any of the above three courses the Pre paratory School aims at the full preparation of its students for entrance into the F r e s h m a n class of any college- or ■iiniversity.- , Jn particular the Normal-Scientific Course is planned es pecially for those y o u n g people w h o wish to fit themselves for teaching either in the country districts or in the grades of village or city schools. T h o r o u g h instruction and late re views are given in all subjects required for first grade certi ficates as well as in the purely profesional lines— elementary psychology, pedagogy, school law. and general school m a n agement. It is the aim of the Faculty to make this course strong, practical a n d helpful— equivalent to corresponding courses .offered in our best N o r m a l Colleges. T h e different lines of w o r k receive the s a m e 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 professional training or for a business life. GRADUATION U p o n the completion of forty-eight units of w o r k of “credits” a certificate of graduation is awarded. All of these “credits” are given for required courses w h ic h m u s t be pur sued as scheduled in the different groups. A “credit” or “unit” is one hour daily class w o r k per w e e k during a n y of the three terms of the school year. T w o hours of laboratory work are reckoned as the equivalent of one hour of class work. N o certificate will be a w a r d e d for less than one -year resident w o r k immediately prior to the granting Of the certi ficate or diploma. FACULTY

T h e courses in English Masterpieces, required in all the sections and including 5, 6, 7, 9, ii and 12, conform to the recommendations of the “English Conference of the Eastern and Middle States.” T h e ai m 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 study of the ■ ideal forms of expression, to give utterance to this insight with idiomatic force and fluency. In connection with this sympathetic critical study, two essays (on an average) on each masterpiece are. required, and the manuscript is care fully exam i n e d and criticized b y the instructors. T h e m e m o f - ' izing and expressive rendering of choice selections f r o m the prescribed classics is also d e e m e d of the utmost importance. These courses are found in detail above. Besides the usual collateral work, students are required to read Halleck’s His tory of English Literature, or its equivalent. HISTORY T h e 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 h i m a fuller k n ow l e d g e of the important periods of history. T o secure these ends the text book, the lecture and the reference or laboratory m e t h o d s are combined. In the Preparatory School all the courses outlined below are required of all the students entering the Classical, Latin or Normal-Scientific Departments. In the “D ” year three full terms— with four hours cla.^s work each week— are given to the study of Ancient History, including Greek and R o m a n History.

t h e v o i c e a n d s i n g i n g
Mr. Francis Campbell, wh o has charge of the Vocal D e partment, is perhaps the most widely and favorably known teacher of the voice in Michigan. Besides receiving instruc tions f r o m the best teachers in this country, he has spent . four years abroad with the best masters. In Florence he studied with the great Vanmicini, and in England at the London Academy. H e was one of the prominent pupi s o M a n u e l Garcia and D u Vivier. It follows that Mr. Campbell s training has been broad a n d varied. After thirteen years of teaching in G r a n d Rapids, he w e n t to Chicago, w h e r e for three years he taught, part of the tune independently, and later as a m e m b e r of the Faculty of the Bush Temple Conservatory. Following a successful perio there he w e n t to Detroit, w h e r e his successful career has d r a w n to h i m a large class of pupils f r o m southern and east-, ern Michigan and f r o m Canada. Mr. Campbell is an artistic singer with a very fine bari tone voice. H e w a s trained for the concert st?ge a n d opera; his inclinations, however, induced h i m to enter a field m o r e congenial to him, that of voice building and conducting,, in both of which fields he has achieved m a r k e d success, m a n y fine singers in A m e r i c a and C a n a d a o w i n g their distinction to his skill in voice training. Mr. Campbell believes in thorougb, scientific methods, and hence has often been accused of bringing his pupils for w a r d slowly. His m otto is : Build a strong foundation before adding the superstructure. U n d e r the able direction of Mr. Campbell, the Choral Society of the College renders some Oratorio annually.

LOCATION Holland is a city of fully lo.ooo inhabitants, and is cen trally located on the Fere Marquette railway. A n u m b e r of craily trains afford direct connection with the leading cities east, and as m a n y with Chicago and other points west. It is on a straight line f r om G r a n d Rapids to Chicago, distant f r o m the former city 25 miles, and from the latter city 152 miles. W h e n navigation is open it also has connection with Chicago 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 M a c a t a w a B a y 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, be tween T e n t h and Twelfth streets, and contains si.xtecn acres. It presents a finely varied surface, is well shaded with native trees, and is annually improving in beauty and attractiveness. T h e College buildings are ten in number. • Van V leck H all is the dormitory for men. • G raves L ibrary and W ina.nts C habel, which contains the Administration Chambers, a Reading Room, a Y. M. C. A. hall, and four lecture rooms, affords suitable and improved accommodations for these purposes. V an RaaltecM emorial H all was dedicated and occupied September 16, 1903. In it are located the Chemical, Physical a n d Biological laboratories, lecture r o o m s devoted to Physics and Chemistry, Biology, Greek, Modern Languages, Elocu tion, Biblical Instruction, English and Mathematics. A large Assembly R o o m and the Museum are located on the third floor.
M aria L. A ckerman H oyt O bservatory— In 1894 a valuable addition w a s m a d e to the equipment of the College in the f o r m of a telescope. Miss Emilie S. Coles generously donated both oliservatory and telescope in m e m o r y of Mrs. Maria L. Ackerman Hoyt. The instrument is an eighteen-inch N e w tonian reflecting telescope, with equatorial mounting. T h e eyepiece holder, finder and small mirror have a rotary' attach ment. T h e three eyepieces are respeetively of 200, 300 and 500 magnifying power. A n other accessory is a Plerschel solar eyepiece. T h e telescope is m o u n t e d 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 b y a substantial iron railing. Herbert A. T h o m p s o n of Johnstown, Pa., is the m a k e r of the telescope. E lizabeth R. V oorhees H all— In October, 1905, one hundred thousand dollars was given by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Voorhees on the annuity plan for the erection and maintenance of a Girls Residence to be erected up on the campus. T h e building was completed and formally opened June 21, 1907. Model but simple apartments for girls away from their own homes is the object sought and every convenience compatible with residence life is aimed at. The building is heated by steam and lighted by electricity; There is running water in all the rooms and commodious bathing. facilities on each floor. R o o m s are provided for a. dean of w o m e n and her assistants so that there m a y be constant care and supervision. T h e studios and practice r o o m s of the School of M u si c are located, on the first floor. A dining hall and parlors are located also on the first floor. O n page will be found a full statement of accommodations and expenses in connection with the Hall. M o r e detailed information m a y be obtained by application in person or b y letter to the D e a n of W o m e n . T he Carnegie Gymnasium— The Carnegie Gymnasium, the funds for the erection of which w e r e given b y Mr. A n d r e w Carnegie in 1905, was completed and dedieated in June, 1906. The building has been constructed so that it will serve for public meetings of all kinds in addition to the original pur pose for which it wa s built. It has a seating capacity of 1,200 at the least, and in the course of a few years will be provided with a pipe organ for concert and public work. T h e different numbers of the College Lecture Course are given in the Hall during the school year and the official public exercises of the College are held regularly in it. The gymnastic equipment comprises all the apparatus necessary to the latest and most approved physical exercise. T h e ventilation and heating systems are fully adapted to the double purpose for which the building is designed and in the basement shower baths are provided in separate sections o* the building for the use of m e n and w o m e n students. .A lar^e r o o m in the b asement is used for h a m m e r and shot work, in door baseball and other outdoor work which winter weather will not permit out of doors. A full schedule of hours for w o r k is arranged each year and physical instruction and medical supervision will be pro vided for as required. T h e building with its equipment and courses is under the supervision of Dr. A l m o n T. Godfrey.
SCHOOL YEAR
T h e scholastic year of forty w e e k s begins on the third Wednesday in September and ends with the general C o m m e n c e m e n t on the third W e d n e s d a y in June. T h e winter and spring vacations are fixed by the Faculty, the winter vacation beginning on the Friday preceding Christ mas D a y and the spring vacation beginning on the last Friday of March. '' ADVANTAGES OFFERED Besides the advantages of location, easy communication and inexpensive living, it is believed Hope College may justly call attention to equally important advantages of a very different nature. It is a chartered institution, incorporated under the laws of the state and legally entitled to grant certificates and diplomas and to confer degrees. T h e classes are not so Ic-ge as to preclude the personal acquaintance, contact and Inlluencc of each m e m b e r of the Faculty with every student coming under his instruction. Classes which n u m b e r m o r e than can be cared for by -one instructor are divided into sections. This personal clement, m a d e possible in a smaller institution, is a factor of great educational value both morally and intellectually and parent.s are apt to consider it in m a k i n g choice of an institution. B y a careful division of the w o r k the s a m e experience'! instructors teach in both the Preparatory School and the College, thus giving the students in the lower classes a dvan tages not often enjoyed in preparatory schools. H o p e College is not a local institution. Its stiulents represent an extensive territory, extending east as far as the state of N e w Y o r e and west as far as the Pacific. T u o sudents are, in the main, fr om a m o n g the best pupils fr nn m a n y public schools and in general possess a high order >f ability and a laudable ambition to make their way in the world. This make.s t h e m desirable companions, inviting their fellows to friendl; competition and industrious study. . It will be seen, therefore, that H o p e College offers and secures a regular liberal course of training as complete as can be found in m o s t of our western colleges.
EXAMINATIONS . In both departments written examinations are held at the close of each term or when e v e r a subject is completed. W h e n practicable, the examinations at the close of the year or w h e n e v e r a branch of study is finished, cover the entire text book. The next examination for admission will be held the d a y before the n e w school year opens, viz., on Tuesday, Sept. 20, 1911, at 9 A. M. The exercises of each day begin with prayer in Winants Chapel at 8 A. M. O n 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 regularly 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.’! T h e doors are open to all regardless of religious or denominational affiliations and w e l c o m e is giveni to all w h o submit to its scholastic regulations. A s a Christian school, however, it inculcates gospel truths and d e m a n d s a consistent moral character and deportment. T h e Y o u n g M e n ’s Christian Association is in a flourishing condition, and continues to be a great blessing to the students. It offers a splendid opportunity to secure Christian g r ow t h and to do personal religious work. U n d e r the auspices of the Association several Sunday-Schools, n u m b e r ing hundreds of scholars, are conducted in the surrounding country. T h e students also support a we ek l y prayer meeting, f r o m which the institution continues 'to reap m u c h spiritual fruit. . . The Young W o m e n ’s Christian Association is doing excellent work. T h e y o u n g w o m e n m e e t for prayer once a, week and derive m u c h spiritual help from it. A strong religious spirit is found a m o n g the students a n d G o d has so blessed the religious w o r k that f r o m year to year- m a ny hopeful conversions have been witnessed. This condition has naturally developed a deep interest in Christian Missions. Mission Classes me et once every w e e k to study the history and methods of missions and missionary biographies relating m o r e particularly to the mission fields of our own Church. T he library, wbich numbers over 15,000 volumes, is open every day and is free for the use of the students. B o o k s and pamphlets, as well as magazines and papers, are constantly added. T h e friends of H o p e College m a y be assured that their gifts of valuable books to the library will be taken care of and appreciated and m a d e useful by giving t h e m a place upon the ample shelves of the magnificent fire-proof library building. In connection with the library is a reading r o o m in which are found nii'.ny books of reference and which, by the liber ality of Mr. Win. Brower of N e w York City, is supplied with m a n y valuable periodicals and leading journals on politics, religion, science and literature. T h e s e m a y be consulted on any day w h e n the College is in session, but m a y not be with drawn from the room. I.aboratory and philosophical apparatus for lecture r o o m work is growing in value and completeness. Donations by -he graduates and friends of the institution, of maps, charts, instruments and speeimens of natural history are solicited with the assurance that all such will materially add to the efficiency of the work.
.SOCIETIES Seven Literary Societies are found in the Institution. T he Meliphone, the Cosmopolitan, and the Fraternal have been maintained for years and offer decided advantages to their respective m e m b e r s and materially aid in the attainment of the culture which it is the object of this school to promote. T h e Lilfilas Club is doing e.xccllcnt w o r k in fostering the Study of the Dutch laiifuage. The M. S. and the S. S. Societies have been organized by the y o u n g ladies for the purpose of enjoying free discussion and obtaining experience in conducting public meetings. W e have no G r ee k letter fraternities, which are very often expensive to the students and are apt to divide them into discordant classes. As the student life is largely the formation period of the professional m a n ’s character, and as a m a n ’s influence and usefulness depend m u c h u p o n his s y m p a t h y with m e n, irrespective of classes, it is therefore desirable that a democratic spirit should characterize the Christian college. Moreover, plain, economical living is encouraged, in order that the young, not favored with an abundance of this world’s goods, m a y be able to acquire a liberal education. In our opinion fraternities and chapter houses do not lead to such a m o d e of living as w e desire for our students.
PUBLICATIONS Connected with the institution two religious weeklies are pub lished, D e H ope and T he Leader. T h e first was established in 1866 and is under the direction of the Council through its Editorial Committee. It has a circulation of s o m e 3,000 copies. T h e second appeared with its initial n umber September, 1906. Both are devoted to furthering the cause of the Reformed Church in America and non-sectarian Christian education. A monthly, called T he A nchor, is conducted by the students with gratifying success. It has reached its twenty-third year and is well calculated to a w a k e n an esprit de corps a m o n g the alumni. N o alumnus who wishes to keep himself informed in regard to his A l m a M a t e r and w h o desires to keep in touch with her, ean afford to be without this paper.
PRIZES In 1887 were established the two “George Birkhoff, Jr., .Prizes,” each of twenty-five dollars; one for the Junior class in English Literature, and the other for the Senior class in D u t c h literature. A Foreign M ission Prize of twenty-five dollars is offered by Mrs. S a mu e l Sloan of N e w Y o r k City, to the one writing the best essay on Foreign Missions. This prize is open to the whole College. E nglish Grammar— In 1894 t w o prizes we re added to the list of annual 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 members of the “C ” class. These were established by Henry Bosch of Chicago, 111. The A. A. Raven Prize in Oratory was established by Mr. A. A. R a v e n in 1908. T h e prize is divided into a first a w a r d of thirty dollars and a second a w ar d of twenty dollars. I he contest is limited to a subject of a patriotic nature, and the winner of the first aw ar d is also the representative of the College at the State Oratorical Contest. The Dr. J. Ackerman Coles Debating Prize was estab- . lished in 1909. T h e subject and m e t h o d of debate are not limited in a n y w a y but are subject to the general control of the Faculty. A Domestic Missions Prize w a s established in September, 1910, by the Rev. and Mrs. S. F. Riepma, Oklahoma City, Okla., and.the first award upon this foundation will be m a de at the annual commencement in June, 1911. The prize is twenty-five dollars and under the conditions n a m e d by the donors will be given to the student of the College w h o offers the best essay u p o n a topic concerned with domestic missions in America and the Reformed Church in America. The foundation is known as the Mary Elizabeth V. Z. Riepma Prize. A t the C o m m e n c e m e n t of 1910 the prizes were a w ar d e d by the committee as follows: G e or g e Birkhoff, Jr., English Prize— "Joseph Addison,” to Eldred C. V a n d e r Laan, Ti.

FEES, EXPENSES, ETC. The aim constantly kept in mind is to provide at H o p e College everything necessary to a broad, liberal education at the lowest possible cost consistent with educational facili ties of the mo st m o d e r n and approved type and with a life of refinement and culture. It is believed that nowhere else is a community as progressive as the city of tlolland and its vicinity has b e c o m e in the last fifteen years and in no eollege of equal standing with H o pe College can a student live as inexpensively and as wholesomely. There are no regular ttiilion fees. A nominal, incidental fee of eight dollars in the College and si.x dollars in the Preparatory School is charged each term. Laboratory fees cover only the actual cost of apparatus and material used b y each individual student. A s these vary with each student no satisfactory state ment can be made regarding them but they are so small.as to be practically negligible. The. College graduation fee is five dollars. . fn the G y m n a s i u m a nominal fee to cover rental of lockers and incidental e.xpenses is the only official charge. Expenses connected with team and club or special work are met by the students engaging in the work and the amount expended lies wholly within the pleasure of the student. T h e Faculty discountenances all ill-advised or unnecessary expenses. All interschool athletics during term time are pro hibited by the Faculty, mainly on the gr ou n d of the extrava gant costs sometimes connected with such work and what m a y be termed the financial morale of such contests. Gambling, betting and similar practices are absolutely for bidden and w e are glad to sav that up to the present time the sudent-body at Hope College is united in condemning these questionable practices. A keen spirit of rivalry, looking to m a n l y and friendly contest in scholarship, oratory and physical excellence, is p r o m o t e d b y Faculty and students alike. ' • The cost of living upon the campus is correspondingly low. Limited dormitory a c c o m m o d a t i o n s are provided for m e n students and r o o m s are rented at a cost barely covering the expenses of light and fuel. There are twenty-six rooms in V a n Vleck Hall and O g ge l House, in the selection of which students looking toward the Christian ministry have the preference. T h e s e arc furnished in part. Both buildings are lighted by electricity and V a n Vleck Hall is heated by'steam. Complete accommodations are provided for women stiulents in V oorhees Hall. T h e building, lighted by elec tricity and heated by steam, is capable of housing one hundred girls. It is equipped in the m o s t m o d e r n \va3' in every detail. T h e r e are large general baths and toilets, individual lavatories, reception parlors and dining rooms. Rooms may be rented single or en suite. A special circular giving full details regarding accommodations at Voorhees Hall will be sent upon application to the D e a n of W o m e n . T h e cost of rentals in private h o m e s in the city varies f r o m fifty cents per we e k without heat to three dollars per we e k with heat and light. While the Council and Faculty stronglv advise that all students reside upon the c a m p u s if it is pos sible, they m a k e no restrictions to the choice of ro-'nis by the students except in the requirement that all conditions shall be strictly in keeping with refined and moral living. Life upon the C a m p u s is, in the long run, the m o s t satisfactorj', a n d parents will find that their children are best provided for in this way. Accommodations for board are provided in the C o m m o n s Dining Rooms at Voorhees Hall for both men and women. Altho the cost of food-stuffs has been extraordinarily high during the last t w o 3'ears. the price of board is $2.75 per week. Day students are charged twenty cents per meal or fifty cents per day. T h e h o m e plan of regular m'eals at stated hours is at present followed and in this way one hundred students may be accommodated. Under a general plan of service the capacity of the C o m m o n s Dining Hall is unlimited. A tabular estimate of expenses is given herewith which does not include clothing and travel as these m u s t necessarily vary with each individual. This estimate is based upon living u p o n the C a m p u s : C O LL E G E : — Incidental fees...... $ 24.00 B o ar d ...... roo.oo R e nt (two in a r o o m ) ...... 27.00 Books and Sundries...... 19.00 ------$170.00 T h e above estimate is an answer to those who want to know how much money is absolutely needed. Of course the expense of some of the students exceeds this amount; some, however, spend less. A number of our students earn enough money to pay their o w n way through college. Y o u n g people of noble aspirations but of limited m e a n s need not be discouraged. At Hope College they will find many like themselves, some of w h o m have come a great distance seeking an education. S u ch 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 very narrow limits. M a n y parents having children to educate find it to their advantage to come to the city to live. T o such it m a y be truthfully said that Holland is a growing, enterprising city— one of the m o s t prosperous and beautiful in Michigan. W i t h its broad and shady streets, its water works, and its electric illumination, Holland is equally well adapted to the life of auiet retirement and to that of the active business man. Trolley lines from Holland to Saugatuck and Grand Rapids and all intervening points enable students living along these lines to c o m e 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 m i n i m u m . General opinion is on the side of right and reasonableness, and lends its powerful support to tne interest of good order and efficient work. T o develop this high moral culture and character of the student, is the a i m of H o p e College, n o 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 t h e m selves in a respectful and orderly manner, their connection with the institution is suspended; or if it should be found. after clue probation and inquiry, that the influence of a student is bad and injurious to others, the right is c.xercised of requir ing the withdrawal of such a student. A record is kept of the scholastic standing of each student and a copy of the same is sent to the parents or guardian at the close of each term. If the average standing does not •exceed yo on a basis o f 'lOO, he is to be dropped from his class. All students are required to be present, promptly on the first day of each and every term. Recitations begin the next m o r n i n g at the usual hour, 8 o ’clock. T e r m fees and r o om rent are to be paid strictly in advance: a n y student w h o violates this rule forfeits his right to. con tinue in the institution after one m o n t h ’s grace. D a n c i n g and card playing arc prohibited, as is also the use of tobacco on the College C a mpus. Parents living at a distance arc requested not to ask or expect their children to c o m e h o m e during term time. It ■seriously interferes with proper habits of study, and b y our rules no ne is to be absent f r om the institution without per mission of the President.
MUSEUM
A m o n g the treasures of the M u s e u m are replica marbles of Venus de Milo and Ajax, the gifts of Dr. Jonathan Acker m a n Coles, of N e w York. B o t h are imported original-size busts of exquisite w o r k m a n s h i p in copying and in detail. T h ey are mounted upon marble pedestals which are also the gifts 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 tiope College which prompted him in presenting them. A m o n g Dr. Coles’ previous gifts are the photographs in full size of Apollo Belvedere, Augustus, Michael Angelo’s Moses and the Discus T h r o w e r of M y r o n ; the bronze bust of I-foudon’s Washington; and interest bearing securities, the proceeds of which are to b e devoted once in three years to the purchase of a bust of Washington, to be offerea as a prize to students presenting the best oration on a patriotic subject. T h e first contest held upon the Coles Foundation took place M a y 30, 1907, in Carnegie C y m n a s i u m ; the second, Feb. 22, 1910; the third will take place Feb. 22, 1913. In addition to these the M u s e u m has been enriched recently by gifts from Revs. A. L. Warns- huis, ’97; J. J. Baninga, ’98; H. V. S. Peeke, ’87; H. G. Keppel, ’89; W m . D a m s o n , ’01; Dr. A. Oilmans, ’83; and b y a large pri vate collection, embracing mineralogy, geology, paleontology, five thousand speciments of mosses,, and a large number of specimens of fresh and salt water shells, fish and corals, wh ich we re given by a valued friend of Plope. T h e M u s e u m is in charge of Dr. Paul Fr. Schuelke.
TO ALUMNI AND FRIENDS" H o p e College is grateful to the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h in America, w h o s e she is and w h o m she so loyally serves b y the m e n she is furnishing its ministry, both in the domestic and foreign field, and with w h o m she is augmenting the ranks of Christian m a n h o o d in all walks of life. H o p e College is grateful to loyal and liberal friends w h o here invest their mo ne y , not in dead and fleeting things, but in brain and character and souls of men. Be assured, nowhere else will your well-earned m o n e y yield larger returns; in no other w a y can y o u render better service fob your church and for your countrj'. 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 n a m e s of such as are not likely otherwise to receive a liberal education. CONTRIBUTIONS Generous and noble-hearted friends have f r o m time to time, by their liberality, increased the e n d o w m e n t fund. H o p e College owes its e.xistence and prosperity to the kind help of such friends of Christian education. It believes that the n u m b e r of those w h o propose to give to m e e t 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. • T h e College is still in need of endowments of professor ships and a dormitory for young men. Here is an opportunity for philanthropists w h o have an honorable ambition to con nect their names permanently with an institution that has long ceased to be an experiment and which promises to be c o m e an increasing p o w e r for g o o d in C h ur c h and State. A professorship may be endowed by the donation of $25,000. a scholarship b y the donation of $2,000.

MISS I O N W O R K — A study of Missions is included in the regular w o r k of the Seminary. T h e students an d faculty together support two native workers 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 to be given to one looking forward to Foreign Missionary Work.
T H E A D E L P H I C Y. M.,C. A,— A gathermg of Profes sors and^Students is^hel.d2evety. Tuqs.d4y5.eyeniue.:at. thfe-home, of on e of the Professors. It sands for social, intellectual and^ spiritual development. Devotional exercises' oc cu p y the first- half hour, essays a n d general discussion follow, after w h ich a brief time is spent in social enjoyment. This meeting constitutes 'one of the m o s t attractive features of our S e m i nary life.
S T U D E N T P R EACHING— Members of the Middle and Senior classes have frequent opportunities to preach in our ' mission churches a n d w h e r e a special supply is needed. T h e assignment of students for such purposes is left by the General S y n o d with the Faculty, w h o will endeavor to afford all the students an opportunity to preach. It will greatly facilitate our effort if the churches needing such supplies will apply directly to the president of the Faculty. During the summer vacation students m ay be assigned to mission fields, thus enabling them to acquire experience in conducting church work as well as supplement their' o wn income. .
Historical
T h e intention of the R e f o r m e d C h u r c h to establish E d u cational Institutions w h ich w o u l d provide for her y o u n g people in the rapidly growing west, found expression in H o p e College. This was incorporated in the year 1866. Seven m e mb e r s of the graduating class petitioned the General Synod for permission to continue- their theological studies at the College. Synod granted the request and arranged for the professors of the College to give the necessary instruction. In 1867 the Rev. Cornelius E. Crispell w a s formally-elected' “Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology at Hope Col lege,” and with assistance from the other professors he was directed to give theological instruction in connection with his duties in the College. F o r a supervising body. S y n o d divided its Board of Superintendents of the Seminary at N e w Bruns wick, w hich w a s c o m p o s e d of one delegate for'each Classis throughout the Church, into an Eastern and W e s t e r n Section, the W e s t e r n to have charge of theology at H o p e College. His w o r k w a s greatly embarrassed b y the lack of money, and its relation to the S y n o d w a s not according to the tra ditions of the Church. . This finally led to a suspension of Theology in 1877, Synod at the. same time emphatically assur ing the western churches it would gladly restore the school as soon as e n d o w m e n t could be secured. In 1884, this requirement having been met, mainly through the sacrifice of the western churches. S ynod elected’, the Rev. Dr. Nicholas M. Steffens as Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology, with the Rev. Peter Moerdyke and: the Rev. Henry E. Dosker as temporary Lectors. In 1885 a further advance was made and the complete- independence of the Seminary established by the appoint ment of a Board of Superintendents, a Faculty under direct supervision of the Synod, and a course of study similar to- that in the Semi n a r y at N e w Brunswick. In 1888 the General Synod established a Professorship of Biblical L a ng u a g e s and Literature and elected the Rev. Dr. Jo h n W . Beardslee to that position. In 1894 the General,, Sy n o d established a Professorship of Ecclesiastical History a n d elected the Rev. H e n r y E. D o s k e r to that position. Hitherto the Seminary had no home and occupied very unsuitable rooms in a building on the College Campus, origin ally built as a residence for Professor Oggel, but in 1895 G o d moved the heart of Mr. Peter Semelink, of the Vriesland Church, to erect a fine brick building, furnished with m o d e r n conveniences, and containing excellent lecture rooms, a Chapel a n d a r o o m for a Library. This at once settled all questions as to the future of the Seminary, a n d gave a n e w impetus to its progress. ' This building is situated in the center of a large lot on the south side of Twelfth street, directly opposite the College Campus and facing the new gymnasium and Van Raalte M e - . morial Hall, a site beautiful in itself a n d historically interest ing because on* it stood the “Orphan House,” erected in the beginning of the colony as a h o m e for children w h o s e parents died soon after reaching the settlement. . The maintenance and support of this property has been provided for in part by the income of a donation of three thousand dollars from the generous donor of the Hall. This gift is held in trust, for the aforesaid purpose, by the Council of H o pe College at Holland, Mich. In 1895 the Rev. Dr. Egbert Winter was elected Professor of Didactic a n d Polemic Theology, Dr. Steffens having re signed fr om that position. In 1903 the Rev. Dr. Nicholas M . Steffens w a s elected Professor of Ecclesiastical History, Dr. D o s k e r having re signed from that position. In 1904 the Rev. Gerrit H. D u h h i n k w a s elected Profes sor of Didactic and Polemic Theology, Dr. Winter having resigned from that position, and continued until his death, July 19, 1910. • In 1907 the General Synod established a Professorship of Practical T h eo l o g y a n d elected the Rev. J a m e s F. Z w e m e r to that position. T H E LIBRARY.
T h e foundation .for a suitable Library w a s laid w h e n the Rev. A n s o n D u Bois, D. D., gave $ 100.00 and sent a col lection of books. Later, the family of the Rev. Dr. Talbot W . C h a m b e r s sent a large part of his critical library to the Seminary, and this was supplemented by extensive dona tions from the valuable libraries of the Rev. Drs. W . R. Gordon and John T. Demarest. At the General Synod of 1904, which met in Grand Rapids, a most welcome gift in money was made by its members, which enabled us to pur chase many needed volumes and add a little to our B O O K F U N D . To these the widow of the Rev. Eugene E. Thomas added the well equipped library of her deceased husband, rich in theological literature of a high order. T h e n e wly organized Se co n d Ch ur c h at Zeeland has also m a d e generous additions ot our fund. Very ma ny others whose gifts have been thoroughly appreciated have contributed until n o w a collection o about 10,000 volumes is secured. Having only a small Library endowment, the kind remembrance of our friends is heartily appreciated. A card catalogue renders the books easy of access. F o r general literature the students have free access to the Graves Library of H o p e College. RESOURCES. This Semi n a r y desires to see its teaching force supported from the income of a limited endowment, and this income supplemented by the perennial contribution of churches and friends. Hence we name as our resources our Endowment and the Seminary Salary Fund. In accordance with this idea an e n d o w m e n t has been se cured for the three professorships first assigned, amounting to thirty thousand dollars for each chair. A n e n d o w m e n t of ten thousand dollars has also been secured for incidental expenses, and of one thousand dollars for a Library fund. The Seminary Salary Fund. Since the. re-establishment of Theological Instruction at Holland, in 1884, all the monies needed for the salaries of the Lectors temporarily employed, and for the payment in full of the salaries of the u n e n d o w e d and partially e n d o w e d Chairs, have been regularly provided for from the Salary Fund, to which nearly all the Churches in the west devote a n annual free-will offering. O u t of this fund the salary of the Professor of Practical T h eo l o g y is paid and it also provides for whatever deficits m a y occur in the income from the endowment. A s proof that this Salary Fund, a living link between tlie Seminary and the Churches, justifies the wisdom of tlius investing a part of our E n d o w m e n t in the affections of our constituency, it m a y be stated that this F u n d has g r o w n from $600 to the present in co m e of $ 1,600 annually, and that the a m o u n t given during these twenty years to this Fund, to sup plement the annual income of the Endowment, now aggre gates the grand total s u m of $23,000. THREE NEEDS WAITING FOR RESPONSIVE FRIENDS.
Residences for our Professors. A $5,000 Library Endowment. ° A Dormitory for our Students.
The constant increase of household expenses makes it necessary to secure suitable h o m e s for the professors. Friends of the Semi n a r y ought to take the matter into consideration. Our Library has made an exceptional growth, through the thoughtful assistance of our m any friends. It is no w thoroughly indexed and arranged so as to be easily accessible to our students. B u t w e have so small an e n d o w m e n t that w e are unable to secure the n e w books a n d periodicals w h ich ought to be placed before the students as soon as they appear. This w e regard as one of the fundamental require m e nt s for securing a ministerial education such as the times d e ma n d . C a n w e look for the co-operation of our friends to secure this? ' W e are greatly pleased with the increasing number of our students. A suitable dormitory w o u l d be an inducement for m o r e to attend. It is n o w difficult to secure desirable r o o m s in the vicinity of the Sieminary. FORM OF BEQUEST I give unto the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America......
