Foreword In presenting The Milestone to the students, alumni, and friends of Hope, we feel that we are supplying a distinct want. For obvious reasons it has not been deemed advisable to issue an annual regularly at I lope College. The class of 1905 produced a book which was not without considerable merit, and we regret that so promising an undertaking failed to eventuate into an established custom. Indeed, the Hope College Annual has been in a state of innocuous desuetude for these many years; consequently, without recent precedent nor the benefit of an established method of procedure, your humble servants, The Milestone staff, labored under great difficulties in the compilation of this book. We do not presume to have issued a flawless work. Without doubt, a casual perusal of The Milestone will suggest many opportunities for improvement. If, however, we have succeeded, by this pictorial pageantry, in recalling fond memories to the minds of the alumni, and likewise in preserving to those who are still with us the scenes and activities of campus life of today, we feel that the labor bestowed on The Milestone, issued the semi-centennial year of Hope College, shall not have been void of reward. The Junior Class, as sponsors for this book, desire to express their appre- ciation of the excellent talent lent us by the other classes. We wish, also, to express our thanks to the student body and alumni for the immediate and en- thusiastic support accorded us in our plans, and likewise to the advertisers, a circumstance which quickly dissolved the clouds of possible financial difficulties. As a part of our annual, we arc presenting you with the Pook of Words of the Pageant of Hope, a project which we anticipate, as we write this, will redound to the glory of Hope and the continued fame of the Senior Class of 1916. We trust that The Milestone will elicit your approval and afford you much pleasure. The Editors.
