With Harry running his own business as an office furnituremanufacturers' rep, and with three, soon to be four, little Rumohrs in the family, one might conclude that the last thing the couple needs is more respon- sibilities, but they claim their involvement doesn't take up that much time and finds its own rewards.

Nor was the College able to offer him proper accommodations. Dr. Phelps, the first president, had been forced to resign in 1878 but as late as 1885 still claimed that he had the right to occupy the major portion of Van Vleck Hall which had been his home while he was on campus. Scott, who had been on the faculty since the College was founded had his own home on 9th Street and had received no additional com- pensation when he served first as vice president 1878-1880 and then as provisional president 1880-1885. The promise of an impressive presidential mansion might well have been regarded as necessary to convince De Baun that the Sy- nod was willing to respond generouslyto Scott's plea for help and Dr. Cole's urging. As it turned out, De Baun declined the presidency and the President'sHouse, despite its promisingbeginning, came to completion at a slow pace. The July, 1885, minutes of the Executive Committee of the Council of Hope College record that the originalplans for the proposed building drawn up by Mr. H. te Roller were re- viewed but found too expensive. By April of 1886 Mr. A. Visscher, secretary of the Committee on Improvements, could report that the initial work of digging the foundation and constructing the basement had been completedat a cost of $567.23. His committee had then examined seven bids for the completion of the house which ranged from $6,949.50 down to $4,800, but An effort is underway to raise funds to renovate Hope's President'sHouse, which has over the years received many distinguishedguests, all had been rejeaed as unacceptable since includingformer U.S. President Gerald R.

On the one hand, the campus is a collection of elements brought together more by the haphaz- ards of history than by comprehensive design.

On the other hand, it is a grand symbol of the continuity and community of learning.

In these "buyers' market" days of college recruitment, more students seem to be saying that by selecting a college in the same way one might buy a house — on the basis of closet space and number of bathrooms. But such practical assessments of collegiatebricks and mortar remain exceptions.

its relation to educational principles. Early American campuses were designed to appear dramatically different from the campuses of English colleges such as Oxford and Cambridge, says Turner. "The American campus is one of the most distinctivelyAmerican forms that has ever been created," Turner stated recently in The Chronicle of Higher Education. "The desire for a special place where scholars study and live together is ingrained in the Ameii- can sense of what a college is." Hope's campus mirrors several of the American innovationsto

which Turner points. First, it was developed to be a distinct community; at the same time, it was not cloistered. The blending at the edges with the city of Holland indicates extroversion. Citing

„ America's first college, Harvard, as example, Turner says that "while committed to the collegiateideal of students and teachers living together, the school also considered itself an integral part of the larger community. This was to become typical of American

Just how much were the Dutchmen of the Mid- west who shaped Hope's campus influenced by major trends in institutionaldesign or the aes- thetics of their day? These and other speculations may be answered by a three- year, comprehensive architectural history of the College involving student and faculty researchers which is being administeredby the department of history. The first portion of this study, a geographical history, will begin this

fall. But, for the time being, on to some of the facts at hand. The first five acres of the Hope campus were donated by the Col- lege's founder, the Rev. Dr. A. C. Van Raalte. The first permanent building was Van Vleck Hall, constructed in 1857 and designed by the principal who also lent the structure his name, the Rev. John Van Vleck. Both the main campus and Van Vleck Hall are registered sites of the Michi- gan Historical Commission. Currently, College planners are clutching architects' schemmatic plans for a five-level, 78,000- square-foot new library designed with such a traditionallook that one almost expects the bricks to have ivy ready-appliquedto their faces. In between Van Vleck and the proposed library, 20 new buildings have filled in 102 acres and expanded the campus' on-the- books value to $45,107,000. Campus expansion and beau- tification has been one of the most evident accomplishments of the current presidency of Gordon

FOURTEEN NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, AUGUST 1984 For instance, Freeman sees Centennial Park as an asset to both city and College, and suggests that the campus could be enhanced by relating more obviously to this neighboring site. Freeman points to Graves Hall as probably the best designed building on campus because of "its presence, its symbolism, its richness of detail." The campus' weakness, in his view, is its lack of a main arrival point. "In a sense, walking into a campus is a little like coming into someone's enormous yard. You have to know your entrance." Others have criticized that too much of Hope's appearance was mothered by necessity and builders' lowest bids rather than aesthetic considerations, particularlyduring those explosive enrollment growths of the post-war and baby-boom years. But despite its variety of architecturalstyles and its prominent twentieth-century brick boxes, the campus manages a harmony that has little to do with cohesion and more to do with all the stories its buildings tell of master-plansand compromises, of funds that came up short and funds that went over the top. Somehow, seeing each building as the realizationof a particular age's aspiration provides a sense of continuity with the past that manages to belittle whatever aesthetic annoyances one finds present today. As a whole, Hope's campus richly expresses the notion that great places are not built in a day and thus underlines very well one of education's principal principles:continued striving.

NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, AUGUST 1984 SEVENTEEN Hope's counter- culture comes home

by Eileen Beyer and Mary Dejonge

Don't call it just another alumni reunion. "It's a 'counter-culture'reunion," says Rich Williams '75, one of the principal orga- nizers of an event billed as "the Ad Hoc reunion," a gathering of fluctuatingnumbers of Hope grads of the student-revolutionera. The event was held on campus the weekend of June 29-July 1. Some of the events of the weekend — a coffeehouse and a dance — attraaed more than 150 people. Other occasions,such as a steak fry and an interdenominational worship service in the Pine Grove led by former Chaplain William Hillegonds, were considerably more intimate. According to Williams, those attending the reunion were at the forefrontof a "spiritual revolution" which hit Hope hardest in the early 1970s. Like their counterparts on other An ad hoc assemblage
