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.
