Ackerman Coles Cage right Dedication THE AMERICAN COLLEGE is a product purely American. It is the fundamental expression of the highest American ideal. It could have grown up nowhere else, for the American method was necessary to the expression of the American ideal. To this expression great hearts were essential; unstinted benev- olence was.a first requisite; an unfaltering belief in God, in youth, and in country were the dynamic. Of old and in other lands colleges were groups of youth eager for knowledge and learned men anxious to promote knowledge. T he American College comprises these but it embraces more—the men and the women of great wealth or little but always of large heart and unswerving faith who have founded and endowed the American College, all those who have given of their wealth of brain and heart and purse constitute the third great element in the American College. Hope College has known many of these great hearts and her history is theirs. Nathan F. Graves, Garret inants, Robert Schell, John S. Joralman, Gerard Beckam, George BirkholY, Jr., A. A. Raven, Y. J. Rodman. Andrew Car- negie, Ralph and Elizabeth oorhecs, William Elliott Griffis, J. Ackerman Coles and Maria Ackerman Coles,—the names of Dunce, DuBois, Lansing, Yenncma, Yandcr Laan. Licsveld, Dosker, Mrs. Eva I)e Bey, Giebink, Bruins. Trompcn, these and many others unite with the Alumni body to form that mighty third who with students and faculties are Hope College. To these the CLASS OF 1920 dedicate THE MILESTONE as an Appreciation of Faith, of Devotion, and of Benevolence. I‘agt Ten Captain Garret Ellis Winants V� gt v. K. D.

During their college career the class of '19 experienced the tremendous up- heaval of the world war. Entering Hope at the time of her highest glory, sharing as Freshmen in her semi-centennial jubilee, seeing her bend nobly under her share of the war’s burdens, and, on the eve of departure, watching her arise again with evidence of greater power and greater glory to come: this has been the peculiar lot of the present Seniors. The history of the class of '19 is a dual his- tory—one part enacted here, in the classroom and the gymnasium, on the athletic field and the roster; the other in the army camps of the Inited States and on the field of France. We finished our Freshman year undefeated in any line of competition. We were the recognized champions of the school. The reputation for life, for spirit, for “pep”, which has always adhered distinctly to this class, was acquired in our infancy and grew along with us. The second year was similar, until the call for men sounded, and one by one our men began to leave. For the remainder of the Sophomore, and thruout the Junior year this continued. Then, the armis- tice. From our own members and former members of previous classes our ranks were re-formed; the old class consciousness returned; life red-blooded and vibrant with power, with the fire of pride and determination, was ours once more. Many of our classmates are still wearing I’nclc Sam’s olive drab. Some will be required because of their long absence to remain when we leave, to finish with another class. They are still a part of Xineteen-ninetecn. Their deeds belong to our his- tory. Four years the members of the class of '19 have worked and played and fought for themselves and their Alma Mater. In our lives the work we have done will count for power; in our memories the enjoyments we have had will remain unfading bits of brightness to be recalled with pleasure. We have sought to catch, to interpret, to spread abroad the Hope Spirit. We have endeavored to contribute those elements which we consider essential to its enlargement and successful working. We dare boast some measure of results accomplished and shall not cease in this endeavor when we have departed. We should like to stay. We are eager to go. We arc ready to face life, seriously, cheerfully, trustingly; ready to take and to give what the world has to offer and to receive; ready to put to the test the knowledge, the experience, the philosophy of life, which Hope has taught us. Fhese have stood the test in other lives: they will not fail in ours. OFFICERS Rudolph D. Hospers Miss Florence Yyn John Heneveld President Tice President Treasurer Page Forty-Three Page Forty-Pour I Juniors When on the twentieth of September 1916 the goddess Aurora sounded the bugle cal! there appeared on the scene a motley multitude, assembled from the four corners of the earth. There were tillers of the soil, aspirants to the pulpit, congressmen in embryo, physicians of infantine proportions, impcrfcctcd pedagogues, from the crowded thorofares of Iowa, the lumbcreamps of Muskegon, and the cornfields of Hoboken, irrespectively—a vast mass of latent energy. It was an inspiration to the aborigines of the institution to see the eighty-six stalwart exponents of verdure, who, with sprightly step, took possession of the Freshmen seats of honor in Winants amphi- theatre, and listened with wrapt attention as Proxy repeated his annual words of welcome. .Neither as Freshmen nor as Sophomores were we forced into submission by the “Tug of War” into the threatening black waters. Our honor has been maintained in spite of the atrocities of the opposition. Now that the bugle has blown, let us send forth a mighty blast from the athletic horn. As Freshmen we contributed our full quota toward every field of athletics. As Sophomores two of our men were on the varsity team and four on the reserve team; we took pride in the six men who played on the gridiron. 'Phis year our attempts have been jolted by disturbing conditions; the “ Fans” have disappeared and reappeared; but through it all our support and interest has not waned. There are other lines along which we have actively directed our efforts,- the participation in religious activities, and the development in the realm of music, art, science, and dramatics. But the stronghold of the Class of 1920 is and ever will be scholarship and forensics. The faculty declare the class of '20 to have a higher academic record than any class for many years. Listen to our record in oratory! This is the second year that we have supplied the representative for the ladies’ M.O.I . Contest and each time the heroine has returned bearing the insignia of success. But not thru the girls alone did we gain our laurels in oratory, for did not the Skancatcicsian return this very spring wearing the crown of victory? In debating we produced several men who won honors in the intercol- legiate work. During thisyearour banner has been twice at half mast in remembrance of our beloved classmates, William Jansma, and George Roosenraad, who arc absent from us, for whom we grieve, whose memory we cherish -they who “have poured out their last full measure of devotion”—our heroes! And now when peace has banished the cloud of sorrow from our portals, and Father Time is about to turn over to our Senior leaf in the calendar of school years, we the Juniors would humbly leave to you as a heritage, this our best pamphlet—the Milestone, we, the class of 1920, on whom the sun of success never sets.

What class has revealed more latent talent, more promise for the future glory of Hope? In the fields of literature, art, science, and forensics she has put forth men and women creditable to any college. In athletics she has shown a favorable, though not as prominent a part as in other fields. During the past year her various talents have made their impress upon the students of Hope. Along literary lines the class of 1921 has shown great talent, her poets and prospective short story writers being quite distinctive. Her art and science Students arc ranked highest in the school. In forensics her men have done well; she has the honor this year of having one of her members on the college debating team. This class, also, has supplied the track team with three men and the college basketball team has benefited much by one of her members for the past two years. The class is one of extraordinary capabilities and Hope may well expect great things from “Twenty One.” OFFICERS John Kempers Katheryn Vandek Veen Margaret Van Donselaak President I ice-President .

Page Fifty-One Freshmen In September, 1918 some sixty or seventy Freshmen entered the doors of old Hope and enrolled as first-degree members in the world wide association of loyal Mopcites. The year 191S marked an ab- normal period in the history of I lope College, for the ranks of the upper-classmen were greatly depleted, and the Freshmen class stood somewhat in the majority. During the first few weeks the life of the Freshmen was not all sunshine and roses. They were strangers, and as such were.“taken in ’ by everyone. But they proved their mettle at various times, and always showed the right spirit, and soon the class of ’2; commanded the respect of faculty and upper-classmen alike. Freshmen, gathered from all parts of the country and even from the Old World, showed exceptional ability in every line of endeavor. In the classroom, on the athletic field, in the literary societies and in the social life, the Freshmen have demonstrated that they possess talents which are not to be slighted. And now that their first year at Hope is over, the Freshmen can well be proud of their record of the past year. They began their four years journey through Hope quietly and slowly, but through the passing months their momentum has increased, and they arc now holding their own among their fellow Hopeites. Of course, their numerous endeavors have not always ended in success; but they have profited by those mistakes, and defeat has only spurred them on to a great victory. They have caught the vision of old I lope. They are proud of her and look forward to a life of such service that some day Hope may be proud of them. Haroi.d Lubbers ..........

DELPHI SOCIETY As Delphi passes her tenth milestone she looks back upon a pleasant, profi- table, and, in many respects, memorable year. Tho never losing sight of her quest after knowledge and truth, the significant events which have transpired in the world's history, have stimulated her to emphasize the altruistic ideal. She has endeavored to make the Delta-bound Phi a symbol of true altruism,—a spirit of loving helpfulness and cooperation to her fellow- members not only, but a spirit of unselfish interest in every fellow-1 lopeite, and of willing service to all the world.

COSMOPOLITAN SOCIKTY The Cosmopolitan Society started upon its twenty-ninth year crippled in membership because of the war. Many of its members had put aside their col- legiate work to serve in the army and navy of the United States. Usual partici- pation in society life on the campus was prevented by the S.A.T.C. But ucvo- tion to, and enthusiasm for the ideals of Cosmos evinced themselves in a well organized society at the beginning of the W inter Term. Literary excellence and social development characterized the meetings and programs. Sincere devotion to the ideals of Friendship, Truth and Progress is the pride of every true Cosmopolitan. A wave of sorrow came to the Cosmopolitan Society when the Great King saw lit to change two of its stars of blue to gold. William Jansma and George Koosehraad made the supreme sacrifice in the service of their country. Our trib- ute to these noble Americans and llopcites cannot be too high. The entire college shares the inspiration of their last great contributi� n to freedom and the world.

Furthermore, the team performed the rare feat of twice defeating the much-tooted M.A.C. quintet, and made the exceptional record of winning eight consecutive games,—marking a new era in I lope College baksctballdom. Our list of victories is indeed a long one and, allho each player on the team deserves special credit for his work, we owe to Clarence Uokker an inexpressible debt of gratitude for his services as coach. Clarence has not forgotten the fine points in basket ball since the day when he piloted the pill through the meshes for the Orange and Blue, and altho lie is small in stature he is one of the biggest coaches in the state. To him the team owes the spirit of “laugh when you win and smile when you lose”— the spirit that made the players more than conquerors. Hope won eight games and lost four. The first two games with Grand Rapids Y” and Camp Custer Officers were lost because the players had just returned from service and were sorely in need of practice. But when the team once hit the old stride there was one victory after another; even Gauthier’s Famous Farmers could not stop 1-okker‘s lanky long-shooters. First, there was that ex- citing game with the Muskegon “Y” which lasted five minutes over the regular allotted time. With ten seconds left for play she made one more point than her opponent, winning the game by a score of 27 to 26. Then the team travelled to Kalamzoo where it defeated Spaulding’s warriors by four points. M.A.C. was the next victim being defeated by three points. Northwestern College of Naperville, 111. then stood in the dust of defeat, losing to the I lope aggregation by a score of 29 to 19. What Hopeitc was not proud of the team on that night when our bitter rival, Grand Rapids, “ Y ” which had been fortunate in winning the first game of the season, was trounced by forty-five points? And, again, what Hopeitc did not rejoice when he heard the glorious news of Hope’s second victory over the M.A.C.? The Farmers have defeated the strongest teams in the Mid-west including the crack Wolverine aggregation, but the Orange and Blue proved to be too much of a match for them and they humbly drank the dread- ful dregs of defeat. By defeating the fast Kalamazoo Normals in the next game, Hope cinched the inter-collegiate basketball championship of Michigan and was heralded as one of the strong contenders for the state independent championship. Hope also won the City championship by defeating the Holland “ Y” by a score of 54 to 26. This was the eighth consecutive win for the Hope team and then the schedule ended as it began—with two defeats. The one was suffered at the hands of the unsports- manlike Muskegon Y ” on the Muskegon floor. The other game was lost by nine points to the Detroit Ralvs of inter-state fame. The fine game the Hope warriors put up against the Ravls clearly demon- strated that this year’s team was one of the strongest that ever represented the Orange and Blue. We look forward to the coming season with great anticipation as the prospects for another winning team are very bright. OUR RF.CORI) Abroad ...

Ever since the Muskegon “Y” game when he tied the score in the last ten seconds of play, Dickie’s” star has been constantly in the ascendant. His match- less eye for the basket netted him thirty field goals. Captain Teunis Prixs, (Guard). “Tcunie’s” defensive rk easily fea- tured every game he played in. The big guard caged six field goals and held his opponents to almost the same number of baskets. Prins’ record has indeed made him King of the guards in Michigan. Clarence Lokkkr, (Coach). Yc had some excellent basketball ma- terial this year and it only required the efficient coaching of Clarence Lokker to make out of the players a championship team. Clarence was one of the smallest players that ever donned the Orange and Blue basketball togs, but he is one of the biggest coaches I lope ever had. Peter Prins, (Forward). “Pete” is one of the two players who participated in all the games this season. He played a consistent game ana was always full of pep. Twenty-four baskets arc chalked to his credit. Clarence Heemstra, (Center). W ith the loss of “Hcemie” by gradua- tion, Hope loses one of the best centers that has ever held the pivot position. 1 le caged fifty-eight foul goals and forty- seven field goals, or a total of one hun- dred and fifty-two points. c Dyke Van Putten, (Guard). “Dyke” played a stellar game at guard and secured sixteen field goals.

Although they come out faithfully for every practice, they arc merely labeled scrubs' and then are forgotten. This year’s Reserve basketball team vindicated its existence In finishing the season with seven out of nine games to its credit. The only two games they lost were to the Grand Rapids Bethany Quintet by two points and to the Zeeland Y.M.C.A. by one point, on the Zeeland floor. Later the Bethanys were defeated by fifteen points while the Zeeland aggregation refused to play a return game on the Hope Floor. The Reserves won the city amateur championship by twice defeat- ing the Holland Y Reserves and the Western Theological Seminary. The team had two very enjoyable trips to Fremont and Grand Haven. There will be no scarcity of basketball players to defend the Orange and Blue for some years to come, for the Reserve team contains some excellent first .earn material.

The awakening of 1917 was so sudden the Giant “Football” was only able to stretch. This year, however, the conditions were more favorable. The organization of the Students’ Army Training Corps brought many football stars to Hope, inese lively adherents of Giant “Football” rallied around the fallen hero who soon waxed strong in strength. Under the efficient coaching of Sidney Drew of Holland High, the team was speedily whipped into shape. Owing to the late start it was possible to schedule nly three games. The initial contest was staged at Kalamazoo against Hope’s most bitter rival, Kalamazoo College. The Dabney-Drew devil-dogs forced their opponents to eat the dirty dust of defeat by coming out on the long end of a 13-14 score. It was a “wet” victory as the game was played in a muddy mud- puddle which became muddier every minute. In the next game the locals were pitted against the Western State Normal team at Kalamazoo for sixty minutes and held Coach Spaulding's proteges to 62 points. The Western Normal team was one of the fastest teams in the state, holding the wonderful M.A.C. machine to a mighty close score. It was indeed no disgrace to drink the dregs of defeat offered by such a team of star players. The final game of the season as played on the Hope gridiron on Thanks- giving Day. Rain—little drops, big drops and all kinds of drops united that day in making the football field one mass of sticky clay and little pools. Howeve, he Orange and Blue warriors put on their moleskins and went out on the field. By mixing clever team work with the mud and water the Hope eleven formed a compound called “Victory.” When the referee’s whistle blew at the end of the fourth quarter the score stood 27—0 in Hope’s favor. We have just reason to feel proud of our football warriors of 1918-1919. Special credit for the success of the team is due to Lieutenant Dabney and Coach Drew who put in a great deal of time in their efforts to produce a winning team. Thanksgiving Day evening, the wild wind, whistling woefully througn the goal posts, sounded taps for the team that had carried the name of Hope Col- lege into the realm of football.

While several of Hope’s former track stars “over there” were running at the heels of the Kaiser’s short-winded team in its hasty retreat to Berlin, the members of the Orange and Blue track team over here were running neck and neck with their old rivals, the Grand Rapids The “Y” had a good team but Hope had a better team and finished the thirty mile lap with a two minute lead. Hope had a green team, but it won the blue ribbon and brought home the cup. The first Hope runner started on the initial lap with a sprinter’s speed and couched off the second man with a half-mile lead. However, the distance be- tween Hope and the “Y” gradually dwindled down to a few feet. In a couple of minutes the fifth Hope runner and his opponent were running neck and neck. Both men stuck like glue and it was only a question of real nerve and endurance —who was to give up first, for the pace was unusually fast. Hope smiled as she saw her opponent wobbling and walking and barely progressing. Hope’s lead speedily increased t'o a mile, but the terrible tooth of time gnawed this lead down to a bare nothingness. However, the last Hope man started on the tinal stretch with lots of determination and crossed the tape two minutes ahead of his opponent who was plodding on in the dark dust of defeat. Then it was three big yeas for Hope and the much-coveted cup was ours. It was not only a pretty race but it was also a fast one. The time for the entire race was three hours, ten minutes and thirty-eight seconds which is better .hail several previous. “Elm” Rubbers ran his course of two and nine-tenths miles in the remarkable time of fifteen minutes which is a new record. In the annual inter-class meet held at the fair grounds the class of 1920 was the victor, scoring forty-five and one-fourth points. The class of 1919 furnished the big surprise of the meet. With only five men entered they registered a total of forty-one points. The class of 1918 and the present Sophomores were tied (or the last place, both making twenty-one points. As we sum up the prospects for this year’s track team, we reach the happy conclusion that the Orange and Blue will again be represented by a winning team. Page Eighty-Onf M. De Wolf J. Kkmpers H.

This board is composed of five members: Two members of the .faculty appointed by the president of the College; the president of the Athletic Association; one member chosen by the Athletic Association; and one alumnus chosen by the Alumni Association. The members of the board hold office during the scholastic year. No games arc scheduled or contracts made except upon the approval of the Board of Control. Students must maintain an average of eighty per cent, while playing on a Hope team. No student having a “C can play on any of the teams, and a student having an “F” is barred from one term immediately following that in which the failure was received. The Board requires that all players on any Hope team shall show a certificate of medical inspection. Further, no student is allowed, during term time, to play on any team not connected with the Col- lege or Preparatory school under penalty of suspension.

Dabney Infantry Drill I FLATOON Page Eighty-Seven “REST Student Army Training Corps The fall term of 1919 started with a boom. Everything boded a winning year in the annals of Hope College. Enthusiasm ran unfettered around the staid campus. School spirit that had ebbed since the declaration of war was given a new birth. Freshmen groped their way through the new surroundings, while the upper classmen grasped the ropes with old time pep and with set faces pro- ceeded on their life's journey. Above this all, smothering and dampening life's ambitions, hung the war cloud, threatening and sinister. The distant boom was somewhat hushed, 'tis true and the scenes of misery were hidden from our eyes. Nevertheless we felt that we had a vital part in the conflict across the water. Millions of Amer- ican youths with boundless possibilities were making the supreme sacrifice. Men were needed to mould the crude masses into a perfect and powerful fighting machine. With this pressure upon the government, it was decreed that units for military training be established in all accredited universities and colleges. Hope classified and our time-honored institution was taken over by the U. S. govern- ment and proved itself successful in the new regime. The first day of October 1918, seventy-five Hope College students were sworn into the service of the C. S. government as enlisted privates. Our army at Hope was commanded by Lieut. Jacobsen. He, assisted by three other lieu- tenants, drilled and forced us into military shape. The pre-war enthusiasm and pep was crystali .ed into a firm sense of duty and a devotion to an inter-national purpose and ideal. Old Carnegie (Jym, the scene of many hard-fought college oattlcs lent itself handily to the cause. On October first it was filled with steel ots, Russian rilles, noise and oilier army equipment. We were immediately put under army schedule and discipline. The weeds on the athletic field were doomed to an early death and the town's people found diversion in the tramp of ninety soldiers plus a lieutenant. Mess, the most important part in the army schedule, was served o.i (he third floor of Van Raalte hall. The museum was undecked of its antiques and forced to listen to the wail of hungry appetites. The unit at Hope was especially fortunate in warding off the epidemic of Spanish influenza. There were many cases of severe colds and minor ailments, but the health and lack of fatality were remarkable. However, death robbed the roster of one name. Sgt. George Roosenraad, while home on a week-end pass succumbed to an attack of Spanish influenza. His death left an aching void in many hearts. He was given a military burial at his home in Zeeland. As a whole, however, the existence of the S.A.T.C. at Hope proved rather conclusively that liberal education and strict military discipline cannot exist suc- cessfully together. The scholastic program was changed, shifted and rechanged. Government orders, imperative but contradictory, muddled up the academic work. Students could not study successfully under the existing circumstances. I'he instructors could not adapt themselves to the ever-changing schedule and get good results. Many precedents were shattered and new ones, unheard of before, were established. The armistice, ending the world struggle that had waged for four years, put an end to all our difficulties. Our unit was demobilized on the twelfth of De- cember and then and there ended the military career of Hope College. Page Eighty-Xine s. a . r. c. 1 Ioward Addison Harris J. C.

Giles Professor Nykerk has the distinction of coaching more college orators to victory than any instructor in Michigan. W hen Hope won her fifth consecutive victory in the state oratorical contest held at Ypsilanti this year, a state record was made which has never been equalled by any state college. I lope’s representa- tives were rounded into form in less than six weeks by Professor Xvkerk. Pro- fessor Nykerk is recognized as one of the leading teachers of voice culture and expression in the middle west. A graduate of Hope college with the class of 1880, he studied in Chicago, Boston, New York, and at the University of Oxford, Eng- land, under leading instructors in the art of oratory. He is head of the depart- ments of English and Music. Roscoe Mott Giles carried oil' first honors in the Michigan Oratorical League contest held at Ypsilanti on March 7. With the oration entitled, “The New World,” Mr. Cfiles easily succeeded in defeating the representatives of Kalamazoo, Adrian, Olivet, Alma, Ypsilanti, and Albion. Mr. Giles is the fifth consecutive orator who has brought the gold medal of first place home to Hope. His victory in the M.O.L. gave him the opportunity to represent the state in the inter-state contest. Miss Helen M. Bell represented Hope in the ladies' contest of the M.O.L. A forceful, winning speaker, she did Hope credit in her effort. I'he plea in her oration, “The Golden Spire, was noble and strong; her delivery, marked by- grace and charm, f irst place in the contest was awarded to Miss Estelle Cozinc of Albion. The judges awarded fourth place to Miss Bell. I age .Xinety-Si Oratory For the fifth time, Cicero, dauntless and unmoved, arose and swayed the crowds to silence.” So relates the historian in his Life of the master Roman Orator. And believing to do as the Romans do, Hope College places special stress upon forensics, realizing and recognizing that the ability to address an audience clearly and impressively and with force is an adjunctive necessity to a collegian’s life career. Rcsultantly for the fifth time, in as many years, our orator won the coveted gold medal, sought by eight state colleges as memoers of the Michigan Oratorical League. Five outstanding factors predominate in our phenomenal success. The liter- ary societies, where public speaking is the order, and unscathed criticism the rule; one hour devoted to class room work each week; private tutorage to mosc so indinated; the natural talents of Hope men and women; and Professor J. 15. N'ykcrk, the coach primus inter pares, nulli secundus, whose superior work has gained us five state victories, two interstate and a national victor in five ears. Hope College is a charter member of the Michigan Oratorical League com- prising eight state colleges. The organization was effected in 1897 with Professor IXykcrk representing our institution. In 1903 Michigan entered the Interstate Association, our representative winning the state and taking second in the inter- state that year. In 1916 Hope College broke into National circles, and proceeded to take first place in the contest in that year. In 1912 we entered the Women’s Department of the League and took first that very year. Beginning that tear, Hope never dropped below fourth place in either contest, and has now more 'firsts” than the other seven colleges put together. In 1917 the annual lists were fought in Carnegie Auditorium and the silver tongued battle sounds are pleasant reminiscences in the memory of the upper-class men. The Association contests this year were held at Vpsilanti Normal. Page S inety-Sere n Meencs Blocker De Witt Yntema Siegers Mulder Debating Next of kin to oratory., though without definite place in the school curriculum stands debating at Hope College. The school first entered Intercollegiate debat- ing. when she formed a triangle with Alma and Olivet Colleges in 1907, and to date, the three-year contract has been renewed for the fourth time. In 1914 another triangle was formed with Kalamazoo and Hillsdale Colleges; the call of (the war terminated this in 1917. 'Flic six men who uphold Hope's glorious record and reputation arc chosen by public competitive elimination from the College literary societies. The sex- tette this year was composed of Bernie Mulder, ! J. Siegers, George DcWitt, Theodore Yntema, Richard Blocker and John Mccngs. The question at issue this year was: Resolved, That the Government should continue to operate all state and interstate Railways until January I, 1924. under the policy outlined by the Hon. W illiam McAdoo. Mulder, DcWitt. and Mcengs rgued the affirmation at home against Olivet College; while Siegers, Yntema, and Blocker formed the opposition at Alma. Our debate teams met with signal suc- cess this year, for they succeeded in scoring a double victory. Both at home and at Alma college they were awarded a two to one decision.

In the early part of the school year Mr. Cress, of the piano depart- ment, was succeeded by Mr. Arthur Andersch and Miss Mable Marble, both of Grand Rapids. Later, Mr. Karl Andersch took the place occupied by his brother. It was not long, however, before Mr. Cress came back to head the piano depart- ment, thus restoring the original situation, saving for the fact that Miss Marble constituted an addition to the department for the present year. The position at the head of the voice department, held last year by Mr. Stanley Deacon, has this year been very ably held by Mrs. W illiam J. Fenton, of Grand Rapids. Mrs. Fenton has endeared herself to her pupils, the student ocxly, and the general public of Holland. Every moment of Mrs. Fenton's two days at the studio has been occupied, her lessons not coming to an end before nine-thirty in the evening. The voice department has never been in a more flour- ishing condition. The violin department has this year, as last, been under the efficient manage- ment of Professor Bruno Meinccke. Tho the violin department never counts as many pupils as the piano or voice departments. Professor Meinecke has enjoyed the choicest body of violin students the city of Holland has to offer. It is hoped that more students will avail themselves of Professor Mcinccke's expert instruc- tion, for the lack of violin players in college is painfully evident. There are prospects of putting the school of music next year on a much firmer basis by linking it more closely to various aspects of our academic cur- riculum. If the plans now being made are carried out, watch the school of music grow. The long-deferred recital of the school of music and of expression as finally given on March 19. in Winants chapel. Tho the entire school of music was not represented, the recital proved to be highly creditable to the departments and most acceptable to the public. The program follows: Zigeunerweisen . .....

In the past years the Council has suffered from a lack of cooperation between the different boards which control student activities. During this year it has made every effort to establish itself as the central governing body, in which all student interests are represented. Besides arbitrating in all disputes, and financing debat- ing and oratory, it has helped to regulate student activities in such a way as to promote harmony and enthusiastic college spirit among the student body. This year a special effort has been made to finance the improvement of the athletic field, tennis courts, and campus grounds, and as a result the campus presents a very tidy appearance this year.

President l ire President Secretary Treasurer Page One Hundred Tight Patriotic League I pledge to express my patriotism— By doing better than ever before what- ever work I have to do, By rendering whatever special service I can to my community and country, By living up to the highest standards of character and honor, and helping others to do the same. PATRIOTIC LEAGUE BOOTH Under tins pledge the Y.W.C.A. of Hope College has organized a Patriotic League with every girl on the campus an active worker. The league was organized in the fall of 9 1 under the direction of the Dean of women. The first work was to organize a system of letter writing by the faculty and students, in order to keep the Hope boys in the camps in close touch with college activities. Later in the year “comfort kits” and New Testaments were sent to the boys, ana at Christmas time boxes of good things to cat brought holiday cheer into the camps. Before the college closed for the summer each girl was given a list of soldiers’ names for progressive letter writing, so that each Hope soldier received a letter a week from some Hope girl. The year 1918-19 found the Hope Patriotic League even more strongly united than ever before. The work was immediately started by cooperating with the city of Holland in the Fourth Liberty Loan drive and in the National War Work Campaign. A booth was donated to the I nked States government to aid patriotic movements. It is very conveniently located on Eighth Street between Central and River Avenues, affording easy access from all parts of the city. Here the Hope girls sold $15,000 worth of bonds during the Fourth Liberty Loan drive. Also in connection with the last Liberty Loan drive, detachments of girls ottered their services to the Liberty Loan headquarters every afternoon, in classifying necessary lists for city reference. If enthusiasm is the measure of success, the efforts of the Hope College Patriotic League will be realized in still greater service during the remainder of its existence, thus truly fulfilling the spirit of the national pledge. Page One Hundred Sine Hope College is very fortunate in having practically every girl on the campus a member of the college Y.W'.C.A. The spirit of unity which is brought about by spiritual and social fellowship makes it possible for the Association to direct the activities among the College girls. Every year in the history of the Hope Y.W'.C.A. has been eventful and has showed marked advancement. In every respect the Association is one of the liveliest and most flourishing institutions on the campus, and it is an increasingly important source of leadership, available for all kinds of service concerned with the welfare of the girls. The girls, however, do not practice this service on the campus alone. The past year has been marked by two great “off Campus” movements. Last spring it was with some hesitation that we. in cooperation with the Y.M.C.A. of the college, pledged ourselves to the great undertaking of raising $ 10,000 among the student body as an endowment fund for the upkeep of Hope High School in India. Still, after a few days, the project, which at first seemed impossible, became a reality and through the efforts of the two Associations Hope High School now has a firm financial basis. During the summer our Social Service Committee again followed out the Suggestion of the National Y. W C. A. in organizing “Eight Week Clubs”. These clubs were formed by college girls living in country communities, for the purpose of rendering themselves useful to their community during eight weeks of their summer vacation. Some of these clubs were merely social, while others took up some form of patriotic service, and others sought to promote an intellectual de- velopment; but in every case the college leader tried to give the girls in her club some inspiration which she had received at Hope. Great benefit was derived from our intercollegiate relationships, which were made possible through various conferences to which Hope delegates were cnt. At these conferences the different colleges drew strength from one another and local problems were often solved through mutual counsel. The visits of several field secretaries during the year proved beneficial and gave us an estimate as to Dur high standing in Association work. It is through our religious meetings which are held every Thursday after- noon. through the united prayer and consecrated effort of all who have part in the work, that the Association seeks to deepen the sense of reverence, and to infuse with fresh motive the daily way of life.—the ultimate objective being the development of Christian character. Thus the Y. W. C. . is a means of bringing to college days their deepest and fullest significance. OFFICERS May me Ki.ootk Irene Van Zanten Anna Ruth Winter Henrietta Dulmes President l ice President Secretary Treasurer Page One Hundred Pleven The Y. M. C. A. was at the beginning of this year greatly handicapped by the loss of practically all of its former leaders. However, those old men who returned to school in the Fall quickly reorganized the association and campaigned for a larger membership. In face of many difficulties, the Y has retained its position as the most important and most influential men's organization on the campus. After the close of the war and the return of many Y. M. C. A. work- ers, the association now enjoys a period of prosperity even greater than any in the past. The regular weekly prayer meetings, the W eek of Prayer in November, the State Conference meetings,—all have contributed to the moulding of a Y spirit which is deeper and more potent than it ever was before. We believe that the true Hope spirit is genuinely exemplified in the Y. M. C. A. this year. OFFICERS Harry Hager Francis Ihrmax P. J.

Ucncvcld, Miss E. Buchanan The Student Volunteer Band The great world war is over. Its material aspects are already fading away; but the mighty movements which it has set into motion will sweep on and on, until they culminate in the glorious result for which they were begun. If the uni- versal interest, and the vision of service, which the war has awakened in all men, can be diverted into missionary channels, they bid fair to accomplish “the evan- gelization of the world in this generation.” They offer a solution to the problem presented by the missionary situation, which, says John R. Mott, “is absolutely unique in the history of religion—unique in opportunity, unique in danger, unique in responsibility, unique in duty.” Keenly alive to this situation, the Hope Vol- unteers are springing to meet the need as enthusiastically, and with as soldierly a spirit, as they answered the nation’s call, ready to lay life itself upon the altar of consecration, as one of their heroic men was called upon to do in service “over there.” The ranks of the Band arc increasing, both by the enlistment of new re- cruits. and by the return of those who have been absent in their country’s service. Its peculiar province is the fostering of an active missionary spirit. Its influence is becoming stronger and stronger, with the result that it is fast becoming the best known organization upon the campus. It was largely through the leader- ship of the Band that Hope, two years ago, undertook the support of the Prin- cipal-ship of Hope High School at Madanapelle, India; and, in order to perpet- uate this support, she has during the past year pledged an endowment of ten thousand dollars, to be raised in ten annual instalments. It is largely due to the activity of the Band, that Hope has for some years had the honor of being the leading missionary in this country; and, today, to an even greater extent, there is emulating from Hope, that influence, that will ultimately bring all the world into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

THE DRAMATIC CLUB The Hope College Dramatic Club was organized in 1917 through the efforts of James Muilenberg. During the second year of its existence, the play “Mr. Bob” was rendered; and the reputation of the Club was scaled. The members were greatly handicapped this past year in giving their annual play. The Club has been a success however, in stimulati tg an interest in dramatic art among the students. OFFICERS Teunis Prins .

And following an age old rule, the Professor fell in love, but did not know it. Dr. Cosens discovers the source of the ailment in Miss, Lucy, the private sccrctaiy to the inventor, but does not dare to tell the Professor because of a technical hold that the secretary has upon him. The Dowager, Lady Gilding is after the Pro- fessor too, and tho she will sacrifice an annual Five hundreds Lbs. to her son and daughter-in-law, who by the way are very anxious to marry her off, she is willing to lose money for tame. The secundus love plot, in which Pete and Benders, two farmer lads, are rivals for the hand and heart of l.ffie, the maid of the Professor, and the final adjustment of the major love affair, in which the Dowager goes to get a mat upon which she may feign a faint and have the Professor find here thus and leaves Lucy to entertain the Professor should he arrive upon the scene; how Lucy faints when the Professor does come, and his proposal to her. all give abundant room for humorous situation, of which the author of the play makes the best possible use. This delightful three-act farce-comedy was presented by the Class of '19 on the evening of the sixth of May. 'The event was greeted by a capacity house, the audience rendering a verdict of enthusiastic approval. 'Loo much cannot be said for the acting. Miss Harriet Baker carried the leading lady’s part with charm and grace, typifying Miss Lucy in the business to make a match. Clarence Hccmstra in the title role was a perfect Professor, but showed that even these when once awakened can be ardent lovers. The excellent support of Misses Mulder, Thomasma, Van Zantcn, and Pennings, and of Messers Baker, Hospers, Peter and Tennis Prins. and Korteling made the dramatic event of the Collegiate season an entire success.

It was reorganized, however, during the Winter term of the past year. The aim of this organization is to increase the knowledge of its members along scientific lines. Only those men who have pursued advanced science work arc eligible as members. Very much pleasure as well as instruction is derived from the fortnightly meetings. Frequently subjects of interest are discussed be- fore the club by prominent scientific men of the community. The work of the club touches upon a broad phase of scientific research. Although a comparatively new organization, it has proved to be an important factor upon the campus. Garrit Van Zyl Andrew Karsten Mii.ton Van Dyke Ferdinand Voss OFFICERS President Pice President . Secretary-Treasurer Janitor Page One Hundred Twenty Trinity Sunday School Class In the year 1916 the Rev. J. Van Peursem, at that time pastor of Trinity Re- formed Church, originated the idea of establishing a Sunday School Class in his Church, intended for Hope College Students exclusively. 'The Rev. Van Peursem secured Dr. Beardslee, Jr., professor at the Theological Seminary, to conduct the class, and in spite of the great distance between the college campus and Trinity Church, the class was started with a considerable number of pupils. W hen I)r. Beardslee left Holland, Michigan, the class called upon Prof. T'.. I). Dimnent, under whose leadership the attendance increased considerably, and who conducted the class until he was chosen President of the College, and found that other matters required too much of his time and strength. The Class then was fortu- nate enough to secure the able leadership of Prof. Y. Wichers, who is still with us at present. The aim of the class, besides providing adequate treatment of the Sunday School lesson for the college students, is to provide a more thorough and more fitting preparation for such of the students as go out to teach Sunday School classes either in the local churches or in the classes, instituted in the neighboring country schools by the college Y. M. C. A. The attendance, altho somewhat irregular at times, as a whole is satisfying, and the class faces the future enthusiastically and hopefully. It might also be mentioned that part of the proceeds of the class go to de- fray the expenses of occasional social activities, and another part toward the pay- ment of a $500 pledge in behalf of the Hope High school endowment fund.

As a monthly publication it maintained its high standards, but in 1914 the student body found it advisable to change from a magazine to a weekly newspaper. They needed an agency to play a more intimate role in collegiate activities. The Anchor now holds a peculiar position in Hope life, a position which cannot be filled by anything other than the best, a position due to two purposes, uniformly maintained. The more immediate and obvious of these is literary excellence. Scholastic drill does much to train the pen and tongue, but the work springing spontaneously from the student in the student paper also has a unique influence. The pursu- ance not only of rhetorical exactitude but of creative style is fostered. The lit- erary department brings to all the best of the students’ efforts. The amateur experience in editorials, write-ups and comments stimulates facility of expression. There is another purpose, more fundamental, the real function of the Ancnor. It is to champion the Hope spirit. The Anchor preserves the close relations of alumni and students. It holds the spirit of Hope above any other school con- sideration. It is the first to praise and the first to condemn. Openmindedness and positive frankness arc two of the qualities that have won its reputation. The publication is in the hands of a staff elected by the Anchor Association, the body of student subscribers. During the last year the staff have put forth their efforts honestly and constantly; they have shown ability and enthusiasm. Now under the guidance of the new staff the Anchor is entering its thirty-third year. The future is bright. 1918-1919 STAFF Board of Editors Editor Chris A.

The first effort was such a dis- tinct success and the value of an annual to the college so easily recognizable, that the publishing of the annual by the Junior class has become a permanent rule. The present volume is sponsored by the class of 1920. Marly in the fall of the year the class at one of their regular class meeting elected the editor-in-chief and the business manager: the editor in turn appointed the department editors, and the business manager, his assistants. The board of editors of the 1919 Milestone is as follows: P. J. Siegers Miss Mary Geegh Miss Anna Whelan Chris A. De Jong H. Milton N an Dyke Nanko C. Bos Miss Marie Danhof Editor-in-Chief Assistant Literary Athletics Jokes Photography . Art The editor takes this opportunity to express his appreciation of the excellent work of the department editors, and to compliment their efficiency, close harmony and cooperation. To the faithful, efficient assistance of Miss Mary Geegh whose vork throughout was characterized by a spirit of untiring zeal, the editor feels himself greatly indebted. To the work of Miss Marie Danhof and her stall of artists the Milestone is indebted for all drawings, cartoons and etchings that it contains. Miss Danhof has made especial mention of the character and quality of the woik of Mr. Carl Schrocder in the art department. Myron M. Broekema headed the business department and did his work both creditably and successfully. The distribution was in the hands of William Vandcr Meer and his assistant, Henry Holkeboer. The entire business depart- ment of the 1919 Milestone was characterized throughout by efficiency and prudence. The work of publishing the Milestone from year to year has come to be a large and interesting activity on the college campus. It has always met with the genuine support and the goodwill of the student body, the faculty, and the friends of the institution. The Preparatory Department is represented in the annual and in turn its students have shown their interest and a willingness to aid. It has been the custom to feature in a brief way, the Western Theological Seminary, which is also located in Holland. This custom arose from the fact that the two institutions, although in no way related the one with the other, are both institutions of the Reformed church in America and enjoy in common the support of its friends. But the prime purpose of the Milestone, as of every annual, is to feature the college year with all its activities and varied interests. —The Editor. Page One Hundred Twenty-Six THE ART STAFF The Milestone is greatly indebted to the Art Staff for the persistent, hard labor each member put on the work assigned. May we solicit your appreciation with ours by referring you to the title pages and drawings in this volume. —The Editors. Page One Hundred Twenty-Eight The Preparatory School Among the most important constructive changes at Hope we have witnessed this year a reorganization of the Preparatory School. The Preps have for years been wandering about aimlessly and have lacked somewhat a definite sympathy and cooperation of some one faculty member appointed for that purpose. Ac- cordingly last Fall the administration and supervision of this department were delegated directly to a new officer, the Principal of the Preparatory School, and already a more distinctive atmosphere and identity have been imparted to its policy and program. We are living in a period when the policy of secondary education in many quarters is in a constant flux and turmoil; when stability, tradition, wisdom, and reason are sometimes thrown to the winds; when thoroughness and accuracy of instruction, as well as high ideals in scholarship, are sometimes superseded by lads and a bread-and-milk diet. The just as good policy is in some instances develop- ing substitutes educationally as well as commercially, but the man of discretion is constantly reminded of the dictim of Horace that nil sine magno vita labore dedit mortalibus, and it is upon the truth of work, more work, and more hard work that our fundamental conception of educational values must be based, l'he talisman of success this year as in other years has been ora et labora, a luting expression for the faith of our fathers. There are ever present with us two ele- ments in life, one transitory and progressive, the other in part, if not wholly, non- progressive and eternal. In our educational program we lay the emphasis on the second, not on the first; and this is chiefly concerned with the soul, the thing� of spirit which in turn depend upon the will, on aspiration, on the quality ot the individual soul, and not discoveries and material advances which can be accu- mulated and definitely summed up like so many figures. Our facilities for piep- aration in the Preparatory School are arranged in conformity to such a view Oi life, and hence our students arc in the main composed of those who aim at fitting themselves for humanistic endeavors, who wish to enter the great pro- fessions, and who believe in serious work and study. Our appeal is inevitably directed to those whose educational interest lies on the academic side, who believe in the conservation not the dissipation, of the mind. The unparallelled world conditions this year did not alTect the Preparatory School adversely, tho the enrollment was somewhat below the average. A uni- form interest has been fairly well maintained during the year and the spirit of work and scholarship has in no wise been sacrificed. Numerous social gatherings, athletic events, and the Kollen Cadet Corps have supplied ample opportunity for relaxation and recreation. The “Av class comprehends this year the number of 22 and this is a good representation considering the severe conditions of this year. Page Ont Hundred Thirty The “A” Class The “A” class finds itself the largest class in the preparatory school, despite the fact that several of the members are still in service. The badge of honor for high scholarship might fittingly be awarded this class, especially in Latin and Mathematics. The career of the “A’s” has been stimulated by the intense rivalry with the present IV class. In athletics they have exhibited skill promising for future champion athletes for Hope. The Preparatory graduating class of '19 has caught the Hope spirit to the extent that the majority arc planning to continue work in the college depart- ment. Those who will not be able to come back next year have the high ideals of Hope so ingrained in mind and soul, that the influence of these principles is destined to propagate wherever the “A’s” may go.

One Hundred Forty-One Western Theological Seminary Greetings: The members and faculty of the Western Theological Seminary, advocates of the “Second Mile. appreciate the opportunity of advocating the Milestone as well. Tho sometimes facetiously or innocently designated the “Cemetery — suggestive perhaps of being buried in thot—still, in truth, the Seminary exhibits “Life” in various ways. In the readingroom, classroom, pulpit, and on the bas- ketball il(x r, it is considerably in evidence. Social life is made pleasant thru the associations in our splendidly equipped dormitory, which is already storing up historic Van lcck-like memories. The usual afternoon boston Restaurant “Koffic Ivlets, in which “Mikkie,” the janitor participates, has become indispensable. Equally agreeable are the more formal receptions at the opening and middle of the year, while the usual social hour, the climax of the weekly Adelphic Society meeting, is generously appreciated. 'Fliis year is distinctive in the history of the institution in that it marks the Fiftieth Anniversary of her life and service. The occasion will be commemorated appropriately by a dignified and elaborate function to be held in May. That even play is not inconsistent with the orthodoxy of the modern “Dom- inie is evidenced by the creditable efforts of the school’s basketball team. Even the Hope College Reserves will admit this. Tho separated from the college by a somewhat hard and cold pavement, still our sympathy for and interest in all the activities of our Alma Mater is warm and genuine. In spirit we share her victories and defeats. The path between is wvll-trodden, and the wire well used. 1409 Seminary Hall is even popular with many college men because of its fine connections with 1307 Voorhees Hall. One would call this a communication camp. But it is particularly a training camp. Her highly qualified corps of in- structors merits distinction and emulation. The entry of two wearers of Khaki, and the return of one, has swelled the ranks to 27 men, several of whom will enter “Overseas Service.” Thirteen Seniors, the largest class in the history of this school, will obey the May command of “Forward March.” A comrade in the service, Mr. Irwin Lubbers of the Middle C lass, will be the short-term overseas servant of Hope College, as principal in Hope High School, Madanapalle, India. A common cause unites in a common service. I'agf Onr Hundred Forty-Two I op Row (Left'to Right): Maatman, Dolphin, Braam, Mulder, Van Westenberg, Stegeman, Van Kgmond.

Literature Page Out Hundred Forty-Five Silent Songs The bloody, shell torn fields of Recicourt, Very, Montfaucon, Epionville, Gesmes, Romagne and Beaufort, where so many of our comrades sleep, have returned to silence—the silence of death. We had left these fields, entrusting to them those of our comrades who could not come along to where the ship was coaling up. We were now billeted at Champcourt, waiting for new clothes and transportation that would carry us to the sea. The village was a sea of mud, especially where our kitchen was located. When waiting in mess line one had to move his feet continually, that he might not sink down too far. It was there on a Sunday noon when I had just received my chow, that, as I bent down to place my canteen cup full of hot steaming coffee on a stone not altogether submersed, I discovered a very small rivulet of clear water streaming from under the stone. Immediately I removed the stone and found a tiny spring that, despising all the mud and filth of its surroundings, had broken forth in the middle of the mud covered road. It was there, seated in a torrent of rain beside the pure, tiny spring, that I thot of what I am now to write. What that tiny spring on the muddy road was to a weary, wet, tempest- tossed soldier, that poetry has been to him during twenty long, endless months of his military career. That Sunday noon Nature taught him that no matter how mean life may be there are springs even amidst the mud and scum of this world that make the faces of those who look into them radiate with purity and joy. When a man is taken out of what he thinks his life work, is suddenly cast on a pile in which is found much good, tempered steel but in which scrap iron finds no less conspicuous place, when one is to be melted in the war furnace of a nation, the question comes to him. How can I retain my integrity? How can I remain kind, loving beauty and truth? Those virtues must be maintained if one would be true not only to himself but also to his fellow men. At first it seems an impossible task, but soon one becomes adjusted, gets a footing, and I confess that I have been true to myself and my fellow soldiers according to the time I devoted to reading my copy of English, Prose and Poetry, and that of the Chief American Poets. Nor were we ever called out so early or hastily but I strapped these two books to my pack with great care, for they meant much to me. Poetry helps one to express his hidden emotions. The poet long before we lived had experienced what we feel now. Living in days like our own, as in those of which Wordsworth says: “The soil of common life was at that time Too hot to tread upon;” and being often misunderstood by their own generation they, long ago, had learned what it is to be sad and lonely, to be weary and sick at heart. They have not only felt but they have also spoken. Nature has given them silver words with golden lining and when we read those words: “Our hearts in glad surprise To higher levels rise.” We feel that we have found a brother who suffered or rejoiced as we do now. Poetry too can provide one with the stimulus necessary to endure great Hard- ships. No man can live under long continuous hardships and not wish for some- thing that, even if only for a moment, will lift him above the common-place of Page One Hundred Forty-Six things. One feels the need of a moment’s freedom, -to regain breath, to feel that one is still a divine spirit, at least a spirit if less divine. It is because of this that some men use cocaine, opium or wines, and deceived by drug or wine they imagine that they live a fuller, freer life than we who, thru reading Bryant, Burns, Browning, Tennyson, Lowell or Longfellow, arc brought closer to our Father’s heart, where alone can be found rest and life more abundant. Then to whom should poetry appeal more than to a soldier who, far away from loved ones, faces hardships and dangers: Poetry deals with home and country, heaven and earth. What a picture of home the reading of “The Cotter’s Satur- day Night” can bring to a lonely soldier! One experiences again the sacred atmos- phere of home, sees mother, with her sweet smile, knitting or sewing, sees father reading the evening paper after a day of toil, while the little brothers or sisters are preparing tomorrow’s lesson, or planning a surprise on teacher. One sees again the “big ha’ bible” on the table near father, sees the familiar pictures on the wall and the sleepy canary in his gilded cage hiding his little head in his feathers. W hat joy such recollections can bring! Or one reads Goldsmith’s “Deserted Vil- lage” and soon he is transported to “bowers of innocence and ease,” where every sport could please. Again he secs: “The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm, 'I’he never failing brook, the busy mill, The decent church that topt the neighboring hill.” Then as he looks around over the ruins of French villages more destroyed than deserted he renews his vow that no Hun shall continue such a work as long as his blood is warm within his veins. Moreover, a soldier in the field lives very close to nature, and what is poetry but one of the avenues of God to His work: Many, many a night have I with four or five comrades been lying under the starry heavens, waiting for the foe to come with his deadly burden and often have we sat for hours in silence, helmets beside us, gazing at the stars, not a word being spoken. The distant rumbling of the guns, their flashes reflected in the sky, the tracers of remote anti air craft guns, the different colored signals sent up by friend or foe were all that could be heard or seen. How “deep and tender” the moonlight was! It turned our hearts to love and reverence. When finally the silence was broken by the monotonous drone of an enemy’s machine., we arose quietly and with steady hand restrained the shaking machine gun. For a moment, only a mo- ment, we had been in the silent, calm presence of our Creator. How majestic, how divine such moments are! How precious when we have in memory a few lines that can then express our deep feelings! Yes, the poet is our talisman who tells us what we experience. He is our brother who sings to us not only when we have conquered but also when the fight is on, when we are weary and sick at heart, or when in the great silence of our Maker we grope for words of wonder, admiration and love. (). if we would listen more to the silent songs of earth and heaven, we would be better men, and more worthy too of those who died that we might live happy and free! Joe Vaxdk Xordt. Page One Hundred Forty-Seven THE FIGHT AT FIXXSBURGH,—A FRAGMENT John II. Nykerk, Head of the Department of English How intensely interesting to students of the Tragi-comedic huviainc are these occasional gleams we catch thru the chinks in the dense wall obscuring the prc-historic past from the living present. In early English literature there have oeen preserved for us the Battle of Brunanburh” (See Tennyson’s translation) and the “Waldcrc” and “The Fight at Finnsburgh” fragments. These all reveal the stern realities of a life of intense struggle, when thane and serf ‘------- laid about them at their wills and died.” In the fragment I have here endeavored to translate into modern English heroic metre, we vividly sense the fierceness and tenseness of the grim and grisly struggle incident to an ancient tribal feud between the Danes and Frisian� , in which, as critics think, the youthful king Hengist, who succeeded Hnaff after the latter’s death (cf. Beowulf, II. 1115 seq.), with only sixty warriors, defends his mead hall against the treacherous midnight attack of Finn and his fiendish army. What a weird atmosphere the author has created in his “arrant moon” shining “between the clouds!” How fierce the din of onslaught, and how resolute the resistance! We wonder how many will survive the battle, for ‘ll'yrd often saves an undoomed warrior. Provided that his fortitude he good. (Beowulf, . 572-573.) The “fragment” consists of only fifty lines, found between the wooden cover and its surrounding parchment in which an ancient book of homilies was bound. In my translation I have mainly followed Holthauscn’s Anglo-Saxon text, and have made the version as literal as the exigencies of verse allowed. -------Never are gables burning (here.) The youthful warlike king then made reply: ’Tis not day dawning, nor doth hither fly 'A dragon, nor here do this hall’s gables burn; ‘But here the mortal enemies bear forth ‘Their ready war-equipments, birds (of battle) ‘Sing, the gray corselet clinks, the spear makes din, ‘Shield answers shaft. There shines the arrant moon 'Between the clouds; now dire deeds have rise ‘Which of these needs effect this tribal feud. ‘But up! Arose ye now my warriors! 'Hold firm your shields and think of glory-deeds, ‘Fight at the front and be ye brave of heart! ” Then many a valiant thane, bedecked with gold, Arose from seat and girded on his sword. Then, to the doors, the noble warriors went, Sigeferth and EowaA, and drew their swords, And at the other doors Ordlof and Guthlof, —' And Hengist himself; moreover, Garulf turned On their track and cautioned the War-Danc, that he Should not expose such noble life such arms, On the first occasion, at the castle doors, A Fage One Hundred Forty-Eight Since the slaughter-hardened one desired to take it.

The fortress-floor did din, Until in battle Garulf prostrate lay, The foremost of all dwellers on the earth, The son of Guthlaf, around him many braves. Above the carcase of the fallen, watched The raven, black and sallow-brown; sword-gleam Did glance, as if all Finnsburg were on fire.

Page One Hundred Forty-Sine GLEANINGS FROM OLD AUTHORS Recently 1 lifted from the library shelves two ancient volumes whose per- fect intactness betrayed their evident neglect. One of these worthy volumes thru merit of its severe, black-brown cover, its stained, uneven pages wore an air of utter dejection. As I aimlessly paged thru it, the milder spots on the large, crowded yellowed pages, the frequent italics, and the numerous subdivisions in- creased its air of gloom. 1 turned to its companion of neglect. Its cover was green, a very noticeable green, adorned with gold,—in fact with three gold fish, with mouths, fins and tails, and even gold w-aves to swim upon. In large bold type stood forth—‘‘The Compleat Angler—Izaak Walton—With Eightv-Two Il- lustrations. 1 opened its pages with curiosity. It obviously had withstood the stain of time. The sheets shone fresh and white, with large margins on all sides; suggestive scenes of brooks, bridges, and woodland seemed bent on inviting fur- ther friendship. With no more delay I hastened to make the author’s acquaintance in his letter to the reader. In a simple manner he told me that in the writing ot his book he had made himself a recreation of a recreation; and, that it might so prove to me, and not read dull and tediously, he had in several places mixed, not any scurrility, but some innocent, harmless mirth. He was going to acquaint me with many things that arc not usually known to every angler, but not endeavor to teach me the art of angling, for that art, like all arts, is not taught by words, but by practise. Thus I joined him with his friends Mr. Auceps and Mr. Venator in their morning walk, where my host Mr. Piscator explained himself as follows: “I am a Brother of the Angle and therefore an enemy to the otter, both for my own and their sakes who are of my brotherhood.” How similar in ideal to our brother- hoods, thot I. The arguments of Mr. Venator and Mr. Auceps, as to the major importance of the earth and air, and consequently of their sports, failed to con- vince me; whereas the pleasing discourse of my friend Piscator established the supremacy of water beyond all doubt. For was not the water the eldest daughter of the creation: Against the importance of fish what could be said in face of the knowledge that Jonah was entrusted to a whale: Together with Venator, I wished to become a disciple of the angle and endeavored to follow Piscator’s advice: ‘Doubt not that Angling is an art, and an art worth your learning: the question is rather, whether you be capable of learning it: For angling is somewhat like Poetry, men are to be born so: I mean with inclinations to it, tho both may be heightened by discourse and practice; but he that hopes a large measure of hope and patience, and a love and propensity to the art itself; but having once got and practiced it, then doubt not but Angling will prove to be so pleasant, that it will prove to be like virtue, a reward in itself. Now Piscator gave me instruction in the art of catching chubs and trout and in preparing the same. 1 cast out my line, but just as a wary chub was about to take my hook, my shadow in the clear stream frightened him. Piscator had forgotten to warn me. I moved behind a clump of willow bushes and cast out again. Thru his simple friendship my newly found companion indeed proved his observation that “good company and go xl discourse are the very sinews of virtue. ’ Just as evening was drawing nigh Piscator was saying, “Look, under that broad beech-tree I sat down, when I was last this way a fishing, and the birds in the ' !£ ■ One Hundred Fifty adjoining grove seemed to have a friendly contention with an echo, whose dead voice seemed to live in a hollow tree, near to the brow of that primrose hill; there I sat viewing the silver streams glide silently towards their centre, the tempest- nous sea: yet sometimes opposed by rugged roots, and pebble-stones, which broke their waves, and turned them into foam: and sometimes I beguiled time by view- ing the harmless lambs, some leaping securely in the cool shade; whilst others sported themselves in the cheerful sun, and saw others craving comfort from the swollen udders of their bleating dames. As I thus sat, these and other sights had so fully possessed my soul with content, that I thot, as the poet has happily ex- pressed it, “I was for that time lifted above earth, And possessed joys not promised in my birth.’” Mow this civil, quiet Piscator with an appreciative eye united angling with a sympathetic contemplation of Nature and of Life! Just before we turned to go, he saw a milkmaid and her mother coming thru the pasture. She had sung for him on that former day beneath the beech-tree, and now he entreated her to sing a ditty for me. As reward for her sweet verse she received with simple thanks the chub I had just slyly hooked. As 1 placed the green, fish-adorned volume aside, I vowed to say again “Good Morning, Piscator” on some fresh, cool spring lay when 1 would endeavor to persuade him to teach me how to catch an eel. For several days the ominous Brown Volume, beside its restored companion, remained untouched as if frowning upon me for presuming to give preference to a gay, green fish book. In it I had found a new friend,—would I dare to hope for yet another friend in this Volume which stood aloof and offered no entice- ment, rather repelled friendship: Then in an unaccountable way I was seized unawares and rushed into a downcast mood; perhaps rising from the fatal side of the bed, perhaps being accused of obstinacy, admitting it, and wilfully adding— I’m glad I am stubborn,” perhaps the deserved reproof which followvd, perhaps all of these and even the rain conspired to make me despondent enough to seize the gloomy Volume, and the crouch off in a corner to anatomize the “Anatomy: ' 1 paused at the spotted ancient frontispiece for it exhibited the only pictures in the lxx)k. In amorat, solitudo, superstitiosus, maniacus I could understand. W ith the aid of a Latin dictionary, I construed the meaning of Zelotypia. Hy- pocrojidiaeis and democritus Abderite all figurative of the subject matter, I sup- posed. Opposite I read: “The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is, with all the Kinds, Causes, Symp tomes, Prognostiks. and Several Cures of It. In three par- titions, with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections, Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically Opened and Cut Up—by Democritus Junior.” There, too, was a letter to the reader:—“Gentle reader, I presume thou wilt be very inquisitive to know what antick or personate actor this is, that so insolently in- trudes upon this common theatre, to the world’s view, arrogating another i.uiivs name, whence he is, why J?e doth it, and what he hath to say. Although, as Sen- eca said. Primum si noluero. non respondebo: quis eoa'urus est? (I am a free man born, and may choose whether I will tell: who can compel me;) If I be urged, I will as readily reply as that F.gyptian Plutarch, when a curious fellow would needs know what he had in his basket, Quum vides velatam, quid inquiris in rem absconditum? It was therefore covered because he should not know what was in it. Seek not after that which is hid: if the contents please thee, and be Page One Hundred Fifty-One for thy use, suppose the man in the moon, or whom thou wilt, to be the author: I would not willingly be known. Well then, if Democritus was not like my hospitable Piscator, I would never- theless follow his instruction to see whether the contents pleased me, and for convenience would suppose the author to be the church sexton. “Great travail is created for all men,” said Democritus, “and an heavy yoke on the sons of Adam, from the day that they go out of their mother’s womb unto that day they return to the mother of all tilings; namely, their thoughts, and fear of their hearts, and their imagination of things they wait for. and the day of death. From him that sitteth in the glorious throne, to him that sitteth beneath in the earth and ashes—from him that is clothed in blue silk, and wcareth a crown, to him that is clothed in simple linnen—wrath, envy, trouble, and unquietness, and fear of death, and rigor and strife, and such things, come to both man and beast, but sevenfold to the ungodly. All this befalls him in this life, and peradventure eternal misery in the life to come.” How could Piscator sit contentedly angling were he aware of the awful destiny that hung over him, over me, over all men? How could he say “No life, my honest Scholar, no life so happy and so pleasant as the life of a well-governed angler; for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the statesman is preventing or contriving plots, then we sit on cowslip banks, hear the birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much quietness as these silent silver streams, which we now sec glide so quietly by us.” But here was at least an authoritative, serious book, dealing with the facts of life unmincingly. “Our intemperance it is that pulls so many incurable dis- eases upon our heads, that hastens old age—that which crucifies us most is our own folly, madness, weakness, want of government, our facility and proneness in yielding to several lusts, in giving away to every passion and perturbation of the mind, by which means we metamorphose ourselves and degenerate into beasts.” I would face the situation as bravely as Democritus,—knowing that beside being intemperate, I was degenerating into a beast, I turned rapidly to the cures, for I could never again meet Piscator as 1 was. 1 passed by the unlawful means— magicians, witches, incantations, which though mentioned were forbidden—to lawful cures. Of these the care of physician would not do, for besides the impos- sibility of obeying Democritus' advice—“that out of bashfulness he do not con- ceal his grief: if aught trouble his mind, let him freely disclose it —there would be the distasteful pills. Nor would diet serve, for my tastes were too decided. But here was yet another—-exercise! “Exercise of body and mind, but moderates. as hawking, hunting, riding, shooting, bowling, fishing-.” Fishing! and advised by Democritus! “Fishing is a kind of hunting by water, be it with nets, weeles, baits, an- gling or otherwise, and yields out as much pleasure to some men, as dogs or hawks. Plutarch speaks against all fishing, as a filthy, base, illiberal employment, having neither wit nor perspicacity in it nor worth the labour. But he that shall con- sider the variety of baits, for all seasons, and pretty devices which our anglers have invented, peculiar lines, false flies, several sleights, will say, that it deserves like commendation, requires as much study and perspicacity as the rest, and is to be preferred before many of them; because hawking and hunting are very laborious, much riding and many dangers accompany them; but this is still and quiet: and if so be the angler catch no fish, yet he hath a wholesome walk to ‘age One Hundred fifty-two the brook side, pleasant shade, by the sweet silver streams; he hath good airs, and sweet smels of fine fresh meadow flowers; he hears the melodious harmom of birds; he sees the suttns, herons, ducks, water-hens, cootes, and many other fowle, with their brood, which he thinketh better than the noise that they can make.”-----1 started up—the cuckoo in the hall had counted five. Out of the realm of je ne sais ou I dropped to earth. 1 had been anatomizing four whole hours! The book had fallen open at a Third Partition. A ray of sunshine fell upon it revealing—Love, Melancholy. I made a double promise, one to the book —perhaps, perhaps in the future to venture to invade its faded pages of the Third Partition, the other to the ray of sunshine—to certainly on the morrow meet Piscator with a jury of flics, such as he had taught me to make, likely to betray and condemn all the trout in the river—and to give an outlet to early Spring Melancholia which the ‘‘Anatomy had so nearly cured.

Page One Hundred Fifty-four A STUDY IN POETRY It is a vista, clouded with the dust of three centuries, thru which we see the lives of Jonson, Milton, Dryden and their satellites. The grave swallowed up their personalities. Heaven, we trust, has received their spirits. For us, what is left: It is a harshly kind law that life succeeds life rather than accumulates; it is a kinder law that poetry accumulates rather than succeeds itself. This her- itage—what is it—what is poetry? Some call it soulful expression in worded beauty; some tell us it is truth recrystallized in art. I like to call it life. For where is the happy lyric, (1 speak of true poetry,) that is not a pleasant hour or a fruitful day; where the elegy that is not a man mourning by the open grave; where the epic that is not a great life: Poetry is not artificially created. The gems of our literature are precious, not merely because they sparkle, but because they throb with the naked life of men. So, the yellow, torn volume of poetry before us is forgotten. Only the poet is there. Perhaps we see him toying with his pen: “But I have told them. Since you will be true, You shall be true to them, who’re false to you. Uncannily we know that jerky-stepped Donne has failed his best in this quip,— too cynical, too light. Another page may offer a better introduction. “Falsehood is worse than hate; and that must be If she whom I love, should love me.” Not yet in his element. Perhaps a reflection of a mood, but not a reality in his life. A twist adroitly given, but where is the soul, the spirit? “O God O! of Thine own worthy blood And my tears make a heavenly Lethean flood, And drown in it my sin’s black memory. That Thou wilt remember them, some claim as debt; I think it mercy, if Thou wilt forget.” Fhe scholar, the pastor, the orator, the dcep-souled intellect—there is the man. Let us stay a moment with Robert Herrick. “Besides, the childhood of the day has kept. Against you come, some orient pearls unwept; Come and receive them while the light Hangs on the dew-locks of the night; And Titan on the eastern hill Retires himself or else stands still.” Perhaps he composed that after a soul-refreshing ramble in the dawn. F.very line dances like the “orient pearls” with the newness of the day and shines with its glory. Oh! that we had the eyes of a Herrick. Perhaps life would be a little less burdensome, and our path a little less rocky if we saw more of beauty as he appreciated it. And what a lover; deep devotee to the classics; wonderful disciple of nature; and what a soul for romance! Mark it. “Many a green-gown has been given, Many a kiss both odd and even, Many a glance, too, has been sent From out the eye, love's firmament.” And here our good friend I .aak Walton steps out of his “Compleat Angler to meet us. The same old swimming hole, the first fish—the pride cf the childish Page One Hundred Fifty-live heart,—it all comes back with him. W hat they have missed, who arc not anglers, only they who are will ever know. A lively rod, a ripple on the stream, a blue sky, you and your thots,—many a king longs to throw away his crown for that and cannot. “Let him that thinks fit scolT on and be a scoffer still; but 1 ac- count them enemies to me and all that love Virtue and Angling.” “Virtue and Angling.” Thanks for those two, Piscator. We cannot forget Ben Jonson, who puts a sermon in a sentence, an invective in a word, a eulogy in an epitaph. “But might 1 of Jove’s nectar sip, I w'ould not change for thine.” “Underneath these stones doth lie As much beauty as could die.” A volume from the common pen could not approach such feeling, such felicity of word or sentiment. I love the passionate simplicity of that line: “Oh, so white, oh, so soft, oh, so sweet, is she.” You may well stop in amazement. 'I'his from burly framed Jonson? Poetry may belie the muscle, never the man. Have you not longed to meet him, to shake his hand and look him in the eye, to spend a day at the tavern with him and Shakespeare? “Small Latin and less Greek,” of Shakespeare? Now we encounter the scholar and the classicist. 1 like to think of Jonson brooding over the loss of his great friend, seated before the desk in his private den; on the shelves the myths of Greece and the great men of Rome, in his mind their stories, in his heart the life of Shakespeare. I do not knowr, I do not care if that was the way this tribute to his friend was written. All that matters is that Jonson and the Bard of Avon live again in its spirit. “My Shakespeare, rise! I will not lodge thee by Chaucer, or Spenser, or bid Beaumont lie A little farther to make thee room; Thou art a monument without a tomb.” Can you conceive that born of Jonson’s fancy? Poetry is life. In some such way I wish we might drift back thru three centuries to jest with the jolly cavaliers, to search deep with Burton and Taylor and Sir Thomas Browne, to commune with Dryden, to sit at the feet of Milton and listen to such mighty lines,—“Methinks I sec in my mind a noble and puissant nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep and shaking her invincible locks,” or again to drink in the deep-toned echoes of “Paradise Lost,” or in his “Doric Lays,” to come closer to his star-like soul. But that would take a volume to begin, a life time to half accomplish. Meantime we must on. “Tomorrow to fresh wood and pastures new.” Theodore Yxtema.

Here are a few points in the constitution: “No member shall open a book more than once a week.” “No one shall dream of hesitating at bluffing or using cribs or ponies. “Any member getting a grade of more than 70, shall be dropped automat- ically from the roll of the society.” “Has Bill Van der Meer an car for music:” “Yes. and the trouble of it is that he insists on trying to use his voice too.” When a girl makes a fool of you, sonny.

And let her make a fool of you, too. AT THE MASS MEETING Rud took charge of the meeting and called upon several of the students to make a short speech to inspire pep.

Then, in bawling the fellows out. he said, “Why, at the game the other nitc there was almost a whole side of girls there without young ladies.” Then Pete Baker arose and, in his introductory remark, started to rave about the good qualities of the Marines: “The Marines were called to quell an up- rising in Cuba, and soon had the situation well in hand, then they were called down to Mexico and soon had the situation well in hand over there; later, they were called to France, and soon had the situation well in hand—” Voice: “How many hands have they?” One Hundrrd Sixty-fire Phono Main 3278 Established 1884 Automatic 334-96 1863 1919 Liberal Advances made on Consignments Oldest Produce Commission House in Chicago Over 55 Years in the Trade H.

He drew pairs and got a full house. Harriet Baker: “Really, for a time I was quite beside myself.” Peter Prins: “You surely had charming company.” Even a realistic writer sometimes realizes that he cannot realize on his realism. The following is a sentence extracted directly from a story by one of our green Freshmen:—“And tears ran down his continents.” While boating on the bay one night, I saw the ocean’s arm Steal gently round the neck of land, To keep its shoulder warm. This made me jealous as could be It really made me sore— And so I paddled toward the land And closely hugged the shore. Helen: “Can you keep a secret, Marie?” Marie: “Surely, but it’s just my luck to tell it toother girls who can’t.” THINGS WEAK NOTICED The most wonderful—An individual opinion. The easiest—Blaming the other fellow. The hardest—Proving it. The safest—The other’s bird’s course. The most foolish—What we said when we tried to appear bright. The driest—Our rival’s toast. The kindest—Not to mention it. DO YOU DO THESE DON’TSr Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched: sell the eggs. Don’t marry in haste to repent at leisure: get an early divorce. Don’t hit a man when he’s down: kick him. Don’t smoke: chew. Don’t lie: forget it. I sit alone in the moonlight, And murmur over and over, Forsaken by women and men. I’ll never eat onions again. “Babe” Roggen: “I wonder why Helen never asks me to call any more:” Pete: “Perhaps she thinks you might accept.” “Don’t wander in the meadows, Mary, For the flowers may be wild.” SLANG Slang is ragtime speech. A little ragtime is relished by all men, but when overdone, it renders one’s artistic sensibilities on the fritz. One man writes that “the slang of today is the accepted language of tomorrow.” In that case most of us are about 1(X) years ahead of our time. Slang is one of the best ways of say- ing what you really mean without any strings attached. But we’re asking you seriously now, if you would ever have heard of Tom Moore if he had “smote his 'yrc” as follows: “Drink to me only with thy lamps Or come and jazz a smile with me. And I’ll go fifty-fifty; And I'll say it would be nifty.” IIeemie: “How was the show, last niter” Hak: “Rotten, my foot went to sleep and I envied it.” Page One Hundred Seventy-five Hart Schaffner Marx Society Brand Clothes The Standards of the World In Models, Fabrics and Sizes to fit every man and Young man are sold exclusively in Holland by P.

SUGGESTIONS TO CHEMISTRY STUDENTS 1. -Do not lock your desk, it implies the distrust of your fellow students. 2. Never read over your manual be- fore performing an experiment; it destroys all originality in the work. 3. - Do not clean your glassware; if it it dirty it shows that you have used it.
