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 C h ur c h 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 large n u m b e r of colonists f r o m 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 ­ formed Ch ur c h and in this union w a s to be found the realiza­ tion of w h a t the Ch ur c h had long ho 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, we re 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. He- 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 advantages 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, when they were 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 years later the W e s t e r n Theological S e m i n a r y w a s established. T h e 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 defenders. . The history of the founding and organization of Hope College is but a repetition of the history of not ajjfew of the leading institutions of our country. The beginning was, in­ deed, feeble; but the founders baptized it with a spirit of devotion and self-sacrifice that defied all difficulties and tri­ umph e d 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 g r ow t h of the institution could not be rapid but it has been steady and wholesome. In its development and growth the trustees have always strictly adhered to the object declared by the leading 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 plan, is g^reatly needed in order to supply t h e m and their children in time to c o m e with a preached gospel and with well-qualified teachers for their c o m m o n and higher schools, and that such schools will have a m o s t important and beneficial effect u p o n 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 and strengthen our influence for g o o d 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 under­ signed, do therefore hereby m o s t cordially and with c o n ­ 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 I. Cannon, ■ Theo. Frelinghuysen, W m . H. Campbell, Thomas DeWitt, Samuel A. Van Vranken, { I. Proudfit. ' To prove to the world that these m e n spoke as with prophetic vision, it is but necessary to state that already over 400 have graduated, f r om this college; and that m o r e than half of t h e m have entered the Gospel ministry; and that a large number of others w h o received their training here are engaged in teaching; and others are m a k i n g 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 ho pe and that the influence of these institutions is today felt around the globe. More- than a score of our grad­ uates have devoted themselves to the work of foreign mis­ sions, and, as our beloved and h o nored representatives, -are most successfully unfurling the banner of Christ a m o n g the peoples of idolatry and darkness. The kind and generous support o'f 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; a n d these in­ stitutions in turn have supplied pastors for most of the churches belonging to the Particular Synod of Chicago, which comprises about 212 organizations. Such in brief is the history of the College and Seminary. Almost four hundred young people are now connected with t h e m as students. T h e college has a large field. Its con­ stituency 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 a n d 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 and girls w h o ha've 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 system 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. There are, however, a large number 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 Hope-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 must be adapted to the m a s s rather than to the individual. A t times local conditions determine its character exclusively and again the same con­ ditions are lost to view entirely. T h e s e conditions m u s t c o n ­ 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 c o n ­ tinued in our universities and the d e m a n d s m a d e b y 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 e t the needs of the student. This flexibility is dependent upon a number of factors, but chiefly upon adequate equipment, 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 co 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 conditions d e mand, there is insured the development of a refined sense and aesthetic taste, a practical utility in the life a n d affairs of a progressive world, a m a n l y character a n d a loyal citi­ zenship. 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 Education, 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 further nor­ mal school attendance.

In the Preparatory School the curriculum is the outcome of an unceasing and careful study of the needs of the indi­ vidual, the w h ole student bodj' and the life of the nation, from the viewpoint of the scientific training of the boy or girl w h o is reaching adolescence. T h e admitted a n d desir­ able advantages of our public system for a democratic people are fostered; at the s a m e time there are c o mb i n e d with t h e m the advantages of select private schools b y limiting the n u m - ^ ber of students in a n y given class and b y giving the per­ sonal attention absolutely necessary to a careful training of' the individual. ^ While the courses offered are based upon a broad con­ ception of w h a t it m e a n s to educate a b o y for the life of tomorrow, the fact that the character of a m a n and 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 a n d proven 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 bent of mind and disposi­ tional tendencies are watched and help is given where it is needed, in the most serviceable measure and method. Orig­ inality 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 ' aims or outlook. T h e three courses offered in the Preparatory School, the Classical, 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 religion for every day use is taught ■ and applied with the Bible as text book. 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 American.life. • A m o r e detailed statement of the various advantages of­ fered at H o p e College will be found elsewhere in this book.

Degrees

The degree of Bachelor of Arts is given upon the c o m ­ pletion of the courses outlined u p o n the following page under five groups. Studies are classified as major and minor— a major giving a full unit’s credit, a minor one-half a unit’s credit. A m a jo r credit is granted for twelve w e e k s ’ w o r k with five recitations a w e e k in a n y given subject, except as the subject is classed as a minor. Thirty-six m a jo r credits are required for graduation, a certain n u m b e r of w h ic h are specified in the different groups. In addition to those speci­ fied others must be elected by each student until a total of thirty-six is obtained. T h e value of these thirty-six units is identical with the “one hundred twenty hours” of institu­ tions which follow the plan of three hours daily w o r k during a semester. A wide range of elective subjects is offered and in the choice of these electives the student is not limited to the group in which'he takes his specified subjects. T h e choice of electives is, however, subject to the direction of the Faculty and the student is required to consult the Faculty Co mm i t ­ tees on Courses and Student Direction. • N o degree will be granted until at least o n e year’s resi­ dent work has been completed, and this resident year must precede (except ih'the case of regular students w h o m a y be ill or otherwise incapacitated for Senior year w o r k ) i m m e d i ­ ately the granting of the degree. All credits for advanced standing will be reckoned u p o n the basis explained in the preceding paragraph.

i i T h e m i n i m u m passing grade is 70 o n a basis of 100. A n y student who. for reasons b e y o n d his control, is deficient in a n y subject for the term or for the examination in the sub­ ject, is conditioned and expected to cover the subject in an examination; failure to cover a subject either through in­ ability or neglect requires the student to take the subject in class. Three failures (designated by “F ”) in required sub­ jects in the Preparatory School, two failures in the College, automatically drop a student into the class below; students in the F r e s h m a n and “D ” classes are suspended for the cur­ rent year unless they wish to continue in studies as specials or without credit. All conditions (designated by “C ”) must be ma de up by the end of the first week of the second term immediately succeeding the term in which the “C ” was re­ ceived; failure to comply with this rule automatically makes the “C ” an “F ” and'subject to all the rules of failures regu­ larly placed against a student’s record. .

ADMISSION Pupils holding an “Eighth Grade Diploma’’ of an ac­ credited public school will be admitted to the “D ” class with­ out examination; while applicants who do not have such certificate, will be subject to a strict examination in the c o m ­ mon school branches, Arithmetic, English Grammar and Composition, United States History, Geography (not in­ cluding Physical;, Reading and Orthography. The examina­ tion will be graded according to the requirements of the aforesaid diploma. , in order to enter any Advanced Class, it will be necessary for the applicant to pass an examination in the studies pre­ viously pursued by 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 possible 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 N o r m a l - Scientific. are offered in the Preparatory School, any one of which the student m a y select under the supervision of the baculty. In addition to these three an individual course of study will be arranged by the Faculty for any w h o desire other w o r k than that scheduled in the regular courses, but no regular diploma will be given for such work. 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 b r e s h m a n class of a n y standard college or university. In 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 third grade certi­ ficates as well as in the purely professional 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 and 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 literary departments of college or university 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 or “credits” a certificate of graduation is awarded. All of these "credits” are given for required courses w h ich m u s t be pur­ sued as scheduled in the different groups. Acredit” or ”unit” is one hour daily class work per week during any 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, but are not included in the forty-eight units. A table of the required units is given below. N o certificate will be awarded for less than one year resident work immediately prior to the granting of the certificate or diploma. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION.

M t . H e n r y C. Post, after several years’ study with J. de Zielinski, continued his studies in pianoforte'and composition with a number of the most famous musicians of Europe. H e has been a pupil of T h e o d o r e Kullak, in Berlin; of Dr. Oscar Paul, in Leipzig; of Dionys Pruckner, M a x Seifriz and Goets- huis, in Stuttgart; of Miarmontel at the. Conservatoire in i-’aris, and of other famous masters. H e has also, by asso­ ciation and affiliation with m a n y of the noted musicians of this and other lands, acquired an experience in teaching and concert w o r k that entitles h i m to a firm position a m o n g the principal instructors of this country. Miss Hazel Wing, after a long period of training un­ der the m o s t accomplished teachers, took graduate w o r k at the N e w England Conservatory of Music and taught piano at that Institution before taking up her w o r k at the H o p e College School of Music. H e r instruction has been unusually productive of artistic results and she is rapidly attaining a high place a m o n g the piano instructors of Michigan. She resumes her w o rk for the year 1912-1913 after a brief period abroad. First Y e ar — Studies in learning the notes o n the treble and bass clefs.

M u sic literature (pieces) in this grade includes the easier sonatas by Clementi, Mozart, and Haydn, and a large n u m ­ ber of modern compositions by the great composers. Many of the more pleasing compositions may also be used to promote progress in this grade, such as lliose by B o h m , B a c h m a n n , Lange, Spindler, Mendelssohn, S c h u m a n n and c o nt e mporary writers. Third Ye ar — Technical studies of greater difficulty; ve­ locity, octave work, and such training as will promote handling of the works of the great masters. Studies used: Bach, Inventions (3 voice).

HARMONY AND COMPOSITION Classes in Harmony and Musical Composition were or­ ganized under the personal charge of Mr. Post. T h e classes consist of not over si.x m e m b e r s . T h e k n o w l e d g e of the keys and their chords, and the handling of voices in four- part composition according to the rules of h a r m o n y is taught. T h e general theory of music and ideas of musical forms is studied in these classes according to the grades and re­ quirements of the pupils presenting themselves. D u ri n g Mr. Post’s absence the work is in charge of Mr. Hartley. VIOLIN The Violin Department is in charge of Katherine Con- Ion Johnson, graduate of the Chicago Musical College. Mrs.- J o hn s o n has been under the instruction, at the College, of the world r e n o w n e d violinist and teacher, Em il Sauret, and ’her m e t h o d s of instruction are thoroughly m o d e r n and up to date. Mrs. J o hn s o n has also been under the instruction of Carl Becker, of T h o m a s Orchestra, and latterly enjoyed the pleasure of a season’s study with Concertmaster Halir in Berlin, G e r m a n y . Not only has Mrs Johnson demonstrated her pre­ eminence as a concert soloist upon the violin, but she has had m u c h c.xperience and extraordinary' success as a teacher in Chicago and G r a n d Rapids. A large class of enthusiastic pupils attests her ability in this respect. D u r i n g the year 1912-1913 Mrs. Johnson is on leave of absence.

Ackerman Hoyt Observatory— In 1894 a valu­ able addition was made to the equipment of the College m the f o r m of a telescope. Miss Emilie S. Coles generously donated both observatory and telescope in m e mo r y of Mrs. Maria L. Ackerman Hoyt. The instrument is an eighteen- inch N e w t o n i a n reflecting telescope, with equatorial m o u n t ­ ing. T h e eyepiece holder, finder a n d small mirror have a rotary attachment. Th e three eyepieces are respectively of 200, 300 and iOO magnifying power. Another accessory is a Herschel 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 in­ dependent 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.

Elizabeth R. Voorhees Hall— In October, 1905, one hun­ dred thousand dollars w a s given b y Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Voorhees on the annuity plan for the erection and mainte­ nance of a Girls Residence to be erected u p o n the campus. The building was completed and formally opened June 18, 1907. M o d e l but simple apartments for girls a w a y f r o m their o wn homes is the object sought and every convenience c o m ­ patible with residence life is a i med at. T h e 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 a n d super­ vision. The studios and practice rooms of the School of Music are located on the first floor. A dining hall and par­ lors are located also on the first floor.

Carnegie Gymnasium— Carnegie Gymnasium, the funds for the erection of which were given by Mr. Andrew Car­ negie in 1905, was completed and dedicated 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,was 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 of the building for the use of m e n and w o m e n students. A large room in the basement is used for h a mm 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 work is arranged each year and physical instruction and medical supervision arc pro­ vided for as required. T h e building with its equipment and courses is under the supervision of Ur. A l m o n T. Godfrey.

SCHO OL YEAR '

i h c 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 Day and the spring vacation beginning on the last Friday of March. - ,

ADVANTAGES OFFERED

besides the advantages of location, easy communication and inexpensiv'e living, it is believed Flope College m a y 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 large as to preclude the personal acquaintance, contact and influence of each m e m b e r of the faculty with every student c o m i n g under his instruction. Classes which number more than can be cared for by one instructor are divided into sections. This personal element, m a d e possible in a smaller institution, is a factor of great educational value both morally and intellectually and parents are apt to consider it in m a k i n g choice of an institution. H o p e College is not a local institution. Its students represent an extensive territory, extending east as far as the state of N e w Y o r k and west .as far as the Pacific. T h e students are, in the main, from a m o n g the best pupils from m a n y public schools and in general possess a high order of ability and a laudable ambition to make their way in the world. This m a k e s t h e m desirable companions, inviting their fellows to friendly 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 most of our western colleges.

EXAMINATIONS In all departments written examinations are held at the close of each term, or whenever a subject is completed. W h e n practicable, the examinations at the close of the year or whenever a branch of study is finished, cover the entire field of study. T h e next examination for admission will be held the day ,before the n e w school year opens, viz., on Tuesday. Sept. 17, 1913, at 9 A. M . RELIGIOUS EXERCISES 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 in 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 H ope 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 arc open to all regardless of religious or denominational affiliations and welcome is given to all w h o submit to its scholastic regulations. A s a Christian school, however, it inculcates gospel truths and demands a consistent moral character and deportment: ' T h e Y o u n g M e n ’s Christian Association is in a flourish­ ing condition, and continues to be a great blessing to the students, it offers a splendid opportunity to secure Chris­ tian gr 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 ­ bering hundreds of scholars, are conducted in the surround­ ing country. T h e students also support a weekly prayer m e e t ­ ing, f r o m wh ich the institution continues to reap m u c h spirit­ ual fruit. The Young W o m e n ’s Christian Association is do­ ing excellent w o r k along similar lines of endeavor a n d in the attempt to encourage and inspire Christian living a m o n g young women. A strong religious spirit is found a m o n g the students and G o d has so blessed the religious w o r k that f r o m year to year m a n y hopeful conversions are witnessed. ■ This condition has naturally developed a deep interest in Christian Missions. Mission Classes meet once every week 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. . LIBRARY

I he library, which numbers over 17,000 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 u p o n the a m pl e shelves of the magnificent fire-proof library building. ' In connection with the library is a reading r o o m in which are found m a n y books of reference and which, by the liberality of Mr. W m . Brower of N e w York City, is supplied with m a n y valuable periodicals a n d leading journals on poli­ tics, religion, science and literature. T h e s e m a y be consulted on a n y day w h e n the College is in session, but m a y not be withdrawn from the room. Laboratory a n d philosophical apparatus for lecture r o o m work is growing in value and completeness. Donations by the graduates and friends of the institution, of maps, charts, instruments and specimens of natural history are solicited with the assurance that all such will materially add to the efficiency of the w'ork.

SOCIETIES

N i ne Literary Societies are found in the Institution. The Meliphonc, the Cosmopolitan, and the Fraternal have been maintained for years. T h e Knickerbocker for m e n and the Delphi for w o m e n are of m o r e recent organization. T h e s e organizations 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 the College to promote. T h e Ulfilas Club is doing excellent work in fostering the study of the D u tc h language. T h e M . S. and S. S. Societies are societies of the y o u n g ladies for the purpose of enjoying free discus- sion and obtaining experience in conducting public meetings. In all of these societies a free, democratic, A m e r i c a n spirit is d e m a n d e d and no class distinctions based u p o n wealth, posi­ tion or influence are tolerated. The Science Club is an association for the advancement of scientiiic study and research. Its m e m b e r s h i p is o p en to instructors and students w h o are interested in Natural Sci­ ence. Reports based u p o n scientific investigations in E u r o p e and America are prepared by the members. Progress in in­ dividual research at H o p e College is fostered and published. Meetings are held at stated intervals and the general field of scientific study, education and progress is considered. VVe have no G r ee k letter fraternities, w hich are vcr3^ often expensive to the students a n d are apt to divide t h e m into discordant classes. A s the student life is largely the formation period of the professional m a n ’s character, a n d as a m a n ’s influence and usefulness de pe n d m u c h u p o n his s y m p a t h y with men, 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 m o d e of living as w'e desire for our students.

PUBLICATIONS Connected with the institution t w o religious weeklies are published,Be H o p e and T h e Leader. T h e first wa s establish­ ed 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. The second appeared wdth its initial number Septem­ ber, 1906. Both are devoted to furthering the cause of the Reformed Church irr America and non-sectarian education. A monthly,called Th e Anchor, is conducted by the stud- ents with gratifying success. It has reached its twenty-fifth 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 a l u m n u s w h o wishes to keep himself informed in regard to his Alma Mater and who desires to keep in touch with her, can 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 Mission Prize of twenty-five dollars is offer­ ed b y Mrs. S a m u e l Sloan of N e w Y o r k City,to the one writ­ ing the best essay on Foreign Missions. This prize is open to the w h ol e College. English G r a m m a r — 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 Dr. J. Ackerman Coles Oratory Prize was founded in 1906. T h e a w a r d is m a d e triennially u p o n an oration of a" patriotic nature. T h e prize is a bronze bust of W a s h i n g t o n after H o u d o n . T w o contests, one in 1907,the second in 1910, have been held. T h e third will be held in 1913. 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 a nd a second a w a r d of twenty dollars. jThe contest is limited to a subject of a patriotic nature and the winner of the first aw a r 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 any w a y but are subject to the general control of the Faculty. A Domestic Mission Prize was established in September, 1910, by the Rev. and Mrs. S. F. Riepma, Oklahoma City, Okla., and the first award upon this foundation was made at the annual commencement in June, 1911. The prize is twenty-five dollars and under the conditions n a m e d b y the donors will be given to the student of the College w h o offers the best essaj' u p o n a topic concerned with domestic missions in America and the Reformed Church in America. The foundation is known as the Van Zwaluwenburg Domestic Mission Prize. . The Southland Medals. The Southland Medals were established in 1911 through the generosity of Mr. Gerrit PI. Albers,a graduate of the class of 1891. These medals heve been designated by President- Emeritus G. J. Kollen, LL. D., as follows: A gold medal with the seal of H o p e College, to be k n o w n as the Gerrit H. Albers Gold Medal and to be awarded to the young w o man of the Senior Class who in the judgment of a designated committee of the P'aculty has maintained the highest stan­ dard of all-around scholarship, character and usefulness dur­ ing the'four years of her college course; a silver medal with the seal of H o p e College, to be k n o w n as the M a r y Clay A l ­ bers Silver M e d a l a n d to be a w a r d e d to the y o u n g w o m a n of the “A ” Class w h o in the judgment of a designated c o m ­ mittee of the Faculty has maintained the highest standard of all-around scholarschip, character and usefulness during the four years of her Preparatory School Course.

FEES, EXPENSES, ETC.

The aim constantly kept in mind is to provide at H o pe College everything necessary to a broad, liberal education at the lowest possible cost consistent with educational facili­ ties of the m o s t m o d e r n and approved type and with a life of reiincmcnt and culture. It is believed that n o w h e r e else in a community as progressive as the city of Holland and its vicinity has b e c o m e in the last fifteen years and in no college of equal standing with Hope College can a student live as inexpensively and as wholesomely. ' There are no regular tuition fees. A nominal, incidental fee of eight dollars in the College and six dollars in the P r e ­ paratory School is charged each term. These fees must be paid in advance at the time of registration. Laboratory fees cover only the actual cost of apparatus and material used by each individual student. A s these vary with each student n o satisfactory statement can be m a d e regarding t h e m but they are so small as to be practically negligible. T h e College graduation fee is five dollars, w h ich m u s t be paid immediate­ ly after the student is admitted to candidacy for the degree. In the G y m n a s i u m a nominal fee to cover rental of lockers and incidental expenses is the only official charge. Expenses connected with t e a m and club or special w o r k are met by the students engaging in the work and the amount e xpended lies wholly within the pleasure of the student. T h e Faculty discountenances all ill-advised or unnecessary ex­ penses. All interschool athletics during, term are prohibited by the F'aculty,mainly on the g r ou n d of the extravagant 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 forbidden and w e are glad to say that up to the present time the student-body at 1-lope 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 ex­ cellence, is promoted by Faculty and students alike. T h e cost of living u p o n the c a m p u s is correspondingly low. Limited dormitory accommodations are provided for m en students and rooms are rented at a cost barely cover- ing the expenses of light and fuel. There are twenty-six rooms in V a n Vleck Hall and O g g e l House, in the selection of which students looking toward the Christian ministry have the preference. These are furnished in part. Both buildings are lighted by electricity and Va n Vleck Hall is heated by steam. ' Complete accommodations are provided for women students in Voorhees Hall. T h e building, lighted by elec­ tricity and heated by'steam, is capable of housing one hun­ dred girls. It is equipped in the most modern w a y in every detail. T h er e are large general baths and toilets, individual lavatories, reception parlors and dining rooms. R o o m s m a y be rented single or en suite. A special circular giving full details regarding accommodations at Voorhees Hall will be sent u p o n 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 om hfty cents per w e e k without heat to three dollars per week with heat and light. While the Council and Faculty strongly advise that all students reside u p o n the c a m p u s if it is possible, they m a k e no restrictions to the choice of r o o m s 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 mp u s is. in the long run, the most satisfactory, and parents will find that their children are best provided for in this way. Accommodations for board are provided in the Dining Rooms at Voorhees Hall for both men and women. Altho the cost of food-stuffs has been extraordinarily high during the last few years, the price of board is $3.00 per week. D a y students are charged twenty cents per meal or fifty cents per day. 'Fhe h o m e plan of regular nieals at stated hours is at present followed and in this w a y over one hundred students may be accommodated. 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 u p o n living upon the Campus: C O LL E G E : — Incidental fees...... $ 25.00 • B o a r d ...... 100.00 R e n t (two in a r o o m ) .... 35.00 Books and Sundries...... 20.00 ----- $180.00 The above estimate is an answer to those who want to know h ow 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 m o n e y to p a y .their o w n w a y through college. Y o un g people of noble aspirations but of limited means 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 ex­ penses within very narrow limits. M a n y parents having children to educate find it to their aavantage to c o m e 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 quiet 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, a nd 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 the interest of g o o d order and efficient work. It is the a i m of H o p e College to develop this high moral culture and charac­ ter of the student 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 respectable and orderly manner, their connection with the institution is suspended: or if it should be found after due probation and inquirj', that the influence of a stu­ dent is bad and injurious to others, the right is exercised of requiring the withdrawal of such a student. A record is kept of the scholastic standing of each stu- .dent and a copy of the same is sent to the parents or guar­ dian at the close of each term. If the average standing does not exceed 70 on a basis of 100, he is dropped f r o m his class.. All students are required to be present, promptly o n the first day of each and every term. Recitations begin the next morning at the usual hour, 8 o ’clock. T e r m fees and r o o m rent are to 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 are prohibited, as is also the use of tobacco on the College Campus. Parents living at a distance are requested not to ask or expect their children to c o m e h o m e during term time. It seriously interferes with proper habits of study, and by our rules n o ne is to be absent from the institution without per­ mission of the .President. . MUSEUM A m o n g the treasures of the M u s e u m arc replica marbles of Venus de Milo and Ajax, the gifts of Dr. Jonathan Acker­ m a n Coles, of N e w York. Bo th arc imported original-size busts of exquisite workmanship in copying and in detail. They are mounted upon marble pedestals which are also the gifts of Dr. Coles. VVe are rarely fortunate in the possession of these statues and deeply grateful to the d o nor for his gifts, and m o r e than all for the kindly interest in H o p e 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 Thrower of Myron; the bronze bust of Houdon’s Washing­ ton; 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 students pre­ senting 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 Gymnasium; the second, F'eb. 22, 1910; the third will take place F'eb. 22, 1913. In addition to these the M u s e u m has been enriched recently by gifts from Rev. A. L. Warnshuis, ’V7; J. J. Banninga, ’98; H . V. S. Peeke, ’87; H. G. Keppel, ’89; Wm. Damson, ’01; Dr. A. Oilmans, ’83; and by a large private collection, embracing mineralogy, geology, paleontology, five thousand specimens of mosses, and a large n u m b e r of specimens of fresh and salt water shells, fish and corals, which w e r e given by a valued friend of Flope. 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 by 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 manhood in all walks of I'fc. ' Flope College is grateful to loyal and liberal friends w h o here invest their m o ne y , not in dead and fleeting things, but in brain and character and souls of men. Be assured, no­ w h e r e 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 for your church and for your country. With such encouragements as these H ope College feels hopeful for the future. S h e will try still to deserve your favor and your liberality. Y o u have y o u n g 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 fr om 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 existence 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. I he College is still in need of endo w m e n ts 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 come an increasing power for good in Church and State. A professorship may be endowed by the donation of $25,000, a scholarship by the donation of $2,000. •

T H E Y E A R — T h e S e mi n a r y opens o n the third T h u r s ­ day in September, at ten o’clock a. m., when the Committee meets for the reception of students, and closes on the second Wednesday in May, with the Annual Commencement, at which addresses are made by two students and a member of the Board of Superintendents appointed for that purpose. ■ : CONDITIONS O F E N T R A N C E — Every applicant is required to present a certificate of church membership and one of literary qualifications. O n e w h o has not pursued a regular collegiate course m u s t by testimonials or e x a m i n a ­ tion. give proofs of such literary attainments as will enable h i m to profit b y the course of study. ■ Students are accepted from any denomination of Christians. T h e requirements of the Constitution in regard to stu­ dents preparing for the ministry in the Reformed Church are as follows: “Every person contemplating the work of the ministry, before he c o mm e n c e s his course of Theological studies, shall furnish satisfactory evidence of his being a m e m b e r , in full communion and in good standing, of a Reformed Protestant Church; of his piety, abilities a n d literary attainments; and thereupon shall be admitted into one of the Theological Schools; and, during the prosecution of'his studies there, shall be subject to the rules and- regulations thereof; and, w h e n he shall have completed the prescribed course and term of Theological studies, shall be admitted to an examination according to the regulations of the Schools, as established b y the General Synod; and, if found qualified, shall receive a Professorial Certificate to that effect, w h ich shall entitle h i m to an examination for licensure before the Classis to w hich he belongs.”— Constitution, Art. II, Sec. 2. E X A M I N A T I O N S — At the close of the year a written examination of all the classes, and on all the branches of study, is held before a C o m m i t t e e of the B o a r d of Superin­ tendents, on Thursday and Friday before Commencement, at nine o’clock a. m., and this is followed by an oral examina­ tion before the fullBoard o n the T u e s d a y and W e d n e s d a y of Commencement week. Special written examinations are held in midwinter as the w o r k requires. B E N E F I C i A R Y A I D — Instruction is entirely gratuitous. Young men are aided by the Board of Education as their circumstances require and the funds admit, not only while in the Seminary, but in the College studies ■ preparatory to entering it. Rooms are provided in Van Vleck Hall, and board can be obtained in the city or at Voorhees Dormitory at $3.50 per week. MISSION W O R K — A study of Missions is included in the regular work of the Seminary. Th e students and faculty together support two native workers in India. A weekly prayer meeting does m u c h 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 gathering of Profes­ sors and Students is held every Tuesday evening at the h o m e of one of the Professors. It stands for social, intel­ lectual and spiritual development. Devotional exercises oc­ cupy the first half hour, essays and general discussions fol­ low, 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 Seminary life. S T U D E N T PREACHING— Members of the Middle and Senior classes have frequent opportunities to preach in our mission churches and w h e r e a special service is needed. T h e assignment of students for such purposes is left b y 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 ic h 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 members of the graduating class petitioned the General S y n o d 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 instruc­ tion. In 1867 the Rev. Cornelius E. Crispell w a s formally elected “Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology at H o p e College,” and with assistance from the other professors he w a s directed to give theological instruction in connection with his duties in the College. F o r a supervising body. S y ­ nod divided its Board of Superintendents of the Seminary at N e w Brunswick, which was composed 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. ■ Its work was greatly embarrassed by 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 as­ suring 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, main,ly through the sacrifice of the western churches. S y n o d elected the Rev. Nicholas M. Steffens as Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology, with the Rev. Peter Moerdyke and the Rev. H e n r y K. D o sk e r 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 Seminary at N e w Brunswick. In 1888 the General Synod established a Professorship of Biblical L a n g u a g e s and Literature and elected the Rev. Dr. John- VV. Beardslee to that position. In 1894 the General Synod established a Professorship of Ecclesiastical Plistory and 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, ori­ ginally built as a residence for Professor Oggel, but in 1895 God 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 and a r o o m for a Library. This at once settled all questions as to the future of the Seminary, and 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 m o r i a l Hall, a site beautiful in itself and historically interesting because on it stood the “O r p h a n 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 b y the in co m e of a donation of three thousand dollars f r o m the generous d o nor of the Hall. This gift is held in trust, for the aforesaid purpose, b y the Council 'of H o p e College at Holland, Mich. In 1895 the Rev. Egbert Winter was elected Professor of Didactic and 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 fr om that position. In 1904 the Rev. Gerrit H. Dubbink was elected Profes­ sor of Didactic and Polemic Theology, Dr. Winter having resigned fr om that position, a n d continued until his death, July 19, 1910. In 1907 the General S y n o d established a Professorship of Practical T h e o l o g y and elected the Rev. J a m e s F. Z w e m e r to that position. In 1911 the General S y n o d transferred Prof. Nicholas M : Steffens f r o m the chair of Historical T h e o l o g y to that of Didactic Theology, made vacant by the death of Prof. D u b ­ bink, and elected the Rev. Dr. M a t t h e w K o l y n Prof, of His-, torical Theology. Dr. Steffens died July 24, 1912.

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 Eois, D. D., gave $100.00 and sent a collection 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 donations 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 was made by its members, which enabled us to purchase m a n y needed volumes and add a little to our B O O K F U N D and when the Synod again met in Grand Rapids, in 1912, a still more generous contribution w a s m a d e to our library fund. T o these the widow of the Rev. Eugene E. Thomas added the well equip­ ped library of her deceased husband, rich in theological liter­ ature of a high order. T h e n e wl y organized S e co n d Ch ur c h at Zeeland has also m a d e generous additions to our fund. Very many others whose gifts have been thoroughly ap­ preciated have contributed until n o w a collection of about 10,000 volumes is secured. Having only a small Library e n d o w m e n t , the kind r e m e m b r a n c e 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. A n e w library build­ ing is n o w being erected.

RESOURCES.

• This Seminary desires to see its teaching force support­ ed from the income of a limited endowment, and this in­ co me supplemented by the perennial contribution of churches ,anl friends. Hence we name as our resources our E n d o w ­ ment and Seminary Salary Fund. In accordance with this idea an endowment has been secured for the three professorships first assigned, amount­ ing to thirty thousand dollars for each chair. 'An 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 f r o m the Salary ' Fund, to which nearly all the Churches in the west devote an 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 may occur in the income from the endowment. A s proof that this Salary Fund, a living link between the Seminary and the Churches, justifies the wisdom of thus 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 $000 to- the present income of $1,800 annually, and that the amount 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 $25,000.

NEEDS WAITING FOR RESPONSIVE FRIENDS. Residences for our Professors. ' A $5,000 Library Endowment. A Dormitory for our Students. A Fire-proof Library.

The constant increase of household expenses makes it necessary to secure suitable h o m e s for the professors. Friends of the Seminary ought to take the matter into con­ sideration. Our Library has made an exceptional growth, through the thoughtful assistance of our many friends. It is now thoroughly indexed and arranged so as to be easily accessible to our students. But 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 and periodicals which ought to be placed before the students as soon as they appear. This we regard as one of the fundamental rccpiire- m e nt s for securing a ministerial education such as'the times demand. C a n w e look for the co-operation of our friends to secure this? VVe are greatly pleased with the increasing number of our students. .A suitable dormitory w o ul d be an inducement for m o re-to attend. It is n o w difficult to secure desirable r o o m s in the vicinityof the Seminary.
