I)., the Reformed Church in America has lost a strong preacher; the cause of religion a staunch defender of the faith; Christian education a loyal friend; Hope College an honored alumnus and devoted son. He was a loyal son of HOPE. He acknowledged his indebtedness to the institution on public occasions and endeavored to meet it. He published her good name abroad and was jealous of her reputation. He advised young people to go to HOPE and with pleasure saw main follow his advice. WHAT HOPE COLLEGE STANDS FOR Our Alma Mater stands for the fundamental principles of Christianity, both as regards its con- tent and its missionary character. The glory of our College is that it is Christian, and that it has always produced those who are not ashamed to carry the principles of Christianity and its unique message to the uttermost parts of the world. The danger of any institution, however, as of any individual, is that by being firm to principles and conservative in faith, wc may fail in progress. In nature, the ani- mals of the desert protect themselves by mimicry and immobility. Such life may be worth preserving in the desert; but the life of the soul, and the corpo- rate life of an institution, should not rest satisfied by being like its past, or immovable. Diversity and momentum are the law of life, even though they court opposition, persecution, sacrifice. Rf.v. Samuel M. Zwemer, D. D., F. R. G. S., ’87. Editor of “The Moslem World.” Missionary among the Mohammedans. Cairo, Egypt. HOPE COLLEGE Hope College stands for the highest ideals in col- lege life. It aims at providing high cultural privi- leges. The best academic equipment is supplied and the most gratifying results are expected and realized. It gives prominent attention to character build- ing. The atmosphere, association and organizations of the campus foster the development of a sane and balanced moral and religious growth in the student. The body is not left out of the account. Mens Sana in eorpore sano. No one can do his best men- tally unless he is fit physically. Like most colleges. Hope counts among its grad- uates stars of the first magnitude, but its chief pride is the high average of the men and women who have won its diploma. Rf.v. Amf. Vennkma. D. D.. ’79. President Emeritus of Hope College. Passiac, New Jersey. WHAT HOPE COLLEGE STANDS FOR I believe the College is training men and women to be better fitted to serve the needs of the world. The world is needing more men and women, who in every phase of life, in business, politics, industry, professional life, the church, society, the home, and every other phase, will with a consecrated and direct testimony make known the gospel of Jesus Christ, who alone can satisfy the manifold needs of the world. Rev. A. L. Warnshlis, D. D„ '97. Sec. of International Council of Missions. London, liny land. HOPE COLLEGE Hope College, like so many so-called fresh-water colleges, has a distinct place in American education. Although occupying outstanding positions a half century ago, their lustre has been dimmed—for a period—by the rapid rise and growth of the great state universities and the highly endowed private institutions. Nevertheless, during the past few years there has been a distinct reaction, immensity in size being found to have its serious handicaps. The lack of direct personal contact, the over specializa- tion on the part of the instructor and many other kindred attributes that increase in evidence as num- bers expand, have directed the attention of many parents back to the small college with its single- ness of purpose, its emphasis on the humanities and its program of broad culture rather than of over- specialization at too early a period in the student’s life. As a small college, Hope is dedicated to such a program. Its efficacy is attested to by her con- stantly increasing Alumni who have been honored bv her and who are seeking to honor her in return. Mr. John N. Van per Vries. A. B.. ’96. Member of United States Chamber of Commerce. Chicago, Illinois. WHAT HOPE COLLEGE STANDS FOR Founded by Dr. A. C. Van Raaltc, a brilliant graduate of the University of I.cyden and one of the leaders of the great religious movement in Holland in 1837. Hope College stands for a harmonious com- bination of Christian faith and the highest culture. It aims to produce men and women who shall love God supremely and their neighbors as themselves; who shall know the works of God and man in nature and history, and who shall be qualified to lead their generation in religion, science, letters, art and social progress. Rf.v. Ai.bf.rtus Pieters, A. M., ’87. Professor of Biblical Literature, Hope College. Holland, Mulligan. The meaning of Hope College, as it dawned on me while a student: OPPORTUNITY, to develop one's best powers; SCHOLARSHIP, to know exactly and well; VITAL CHRISTIANITY, to abjure pretence and mere professionalism”; AMERICANISM, neither mouthing” nor “brag- gart” but real; A LIFE OF SERVICE, accumulated learning and power to be for others first of all. Rev. John E. Ki izknca. I). D.. '99- Professor of Practical Theology, Western Theological Seminary. Holland, Michigan. Hon. G. J. Dikkkma, LL. I).. '81. Holland, Mich. WHAT DOES HOPE COLLEGE STAND FOR? 1. The realization of the faith and hope of the fathers who were willing to serve and sacrifice, in order that posterity might wield the power which knowledge gives. 2. The normal development of the whole man, mental, moral, physical and spiritual, in a con- genial atmosphere. 3. The training of men and women for un- selfish service and leadership in school, church and state. 4. Thoroughness in scholar as against modern superficiality. 5. World evangelization through missionaries who possess a burning zeal for the Cross and a limitless love for humanity. HOPE COLLEGE Hope College to me stands first and foremost for an earnest and worthy purpose in life. This is its first claim on my admiration and affection as a col- lege. It stands secondly for a right spirit, a Christian spirit of faith and love, without which no college and no man is entitled to the confidence of men. It stands thirdly for a good and sound scholar- ship, with the humanities rather than the natural sciences in the foreground. I believe in the natural sciences but think their present supremacy a passing thing. I am for my college because she, too, be- lieves in them but also believes in holding them in a true and sensible proportion. Rev. John M. Vandkr Mkulen, 1). D. '91. Pres. Presbyterian Theological Semi- nary of Kentucky. Louisville, Kentucky. Hail, Alma Mater Hail to thee, our Alma Mater! Fair we greet thee, Alma Mater; Sing our praises loyal; Bring our wishes royal; Pledge to thee our heart's allegiance, Alma Mater dear. Sweet our memories and tender; Deep and true the thanks we render For thy glorious treasure, Given without measure,— Lauding thee, Alma Mater dear. 2 Hail to thee, our Alma Mater!

Like her we show the Orange, proud let us be! Children of Alma Mater, royal are we! Blue is the trust of youth, honor, and love, and truth; So let us wear them both. I Of life's unfolding pathway little we know. Vet, over all the journey Hope’s light shall glow. EDWARD I). DIM NENT, A. M.. I.ITT. I).. L. II. I).. U.. D. Prksidknt. ’out Eighteen PROF. AI.MON T.

Only on the hearts of those whose friend and adviser he was will be found the indelible impressions of character left by their association with him. They are his living tribute. Hope did much for him and in return he gave himself for Hone. He was loved by those who were his friends and was admired and respected by all. And although the hurt of his going remains, he will ever live on as a hallowed memory in the annals of Old Hope. Page Nineteen Wy.vani) Wiciieks, A. M.. Registrar. Professor of History. Laura A.

Seniors We. the seniors of 1( 24. are about to step out of the rank and file of studentry in Hope Col- lege, and join that larger fellowship of Hopeites. the alumni. We leave these halls with a feel- ing of vain regret, because we know that it will mean the severing of close ties of kinship that have made us love our school. But we have had four happy years together, tempered with toil and joy, and now we are ready, yes, eager to step into the arena of life, and lay our contribution of good at that altar of service prepared for us. We shall ever keep as our most cherished pos- session the memory of Hope, as the place where we have learned of the things that are more excellent. We have learned of our responsibility to our Creator and our fellow-men. We have learned here, of the beauty of the duty of life, and the value of friendship and mutual helpful- ness. We would go now, proclaiming the principles of kindness and love, so wisely taught us, all in the name of our glorious Alma Mater—Hope!

Our class has upheld the ideals of Hope in every way. We have striven to do our part in all college activities, and have succeeded, our triumphs have given us courage and further ability. When we study the record of the class we may well rejoice because of its accomplishments. In Athletics, we “star. The great honor of class championship in football, basketball, and baseball has been bestowed upon our class during its Freshman and Sophomore years. In basket- ball, especially, our great ability shines forth. Count the Juniors on the present basketball team! Note their skill! In Forensics we rank high, and do our bit with a royal will. We are great in quantity as well as quality. The Class of ’25 is the largest that ever entered Hope College; it is the largest Junior class Hope has had; and we expect to graduate one hundred strong.

We cherish the ideas which have served to build up our continuity' of success. Perhaps no innovations have been created, but we arc confident that the stabilizing elements which consti- tute Hope Spirit have been firmly inculcated in our collective being. The keen rivalry of the Freshman (’lass, which was in efflorescence during the whole year, will always remain in our archives of reminiscence. Our aspirations which loomed in a cloud of potentiality when we first entered Hope, are beginning to crystallize. As a class, our motto can best be summarized—not in bombastic phraseology—but in just this thought, Hope’s Ideals.” Our purpose is to believe in Hope and strive always to work in harmony and to be real Hopeites. We stand for everything that is right, We stand for everything that is true, We stand for everything that in Hope’s sight Stands for the Orange and Blue.

With this grand and glorious setting was the peppy, enthusiastic class of 1927 ushered upon this important stage of life, the four eventful years in College. Already has one year rolled by. Already has one act been played, an act played with co-operation, enthusiasm and pep—an act tilled with success and victory. This act presents to us not only athletic success, but success along all lines,—intellectual, moral and social. In the three acts which must vet be played maj we prove ourselves worthy of the name of Hope, may we ever hold high our “banner of Excelsior,” and when the curtain finally falls upon this stage of life, may we still be holding high the “banner of Kxcelsior, eager to push onward toward the great goal of success.

Our of ilu- oldest organizations, on the campus, and today the most representative body of Hope men, is the Y. M. C. A. It is one of the most inlluenlial organizations on the campus because of the bond of friendship which it produces, it is in the Y. M. C. A. meetings that Hope men, regardless of class ( r society, meet as ME.Y. Here they enjoy real, heartfelt friend- ship as they meet every Tuesday evening for fellowship and prayer. The Y endeavors to promote a positive moral and religious spirit’’ upon the campus; to stimulate and develop Christian faith and character through prayer, study of the Bible, and many forms of service, with the supreme aim of making Christ the King of our campus.” Besides the regulai Tuesday evening meeting, the Y sends out Ciospel Teams to small towns that need spiritual awakening. During the Christmas vacation there were thirty-three decisions for Christian living through the influence of such a group. The Y. M. C. A., aided by the Y. V. C A., conducts four large Sunday Schools, has charge of the annual Week of Prayer, and, with the co-operation of the student body, supports the Principal of Hope High School in Madanapelle, India. The Y cabinet is composed of a body of thirteen men, four of whom are elected and the rest appointed. The cabinet meets every Monday evening to discuss problems of the campus and the Y. It is largely through the prayers and the consecration of these men and that of their supporters that such a fine spirit of brotherhood exists upon the campus. I he campus has not yet been wholly won for the Master, but we believe in prayer and shall continue to work and pray and hope that some day every student of Hope will be a follower of the Christ, and He shall reign supreme in the hearts of all.

In the bus life of a college student, one is sure to meet with many problems—how to choose the worth-while things, how to keep one’s mental balance, how to come a little nearer to attaining the goal toward which one has set out. To all these questions, the Hope girl finds her answer in the Y. Y. C. A. Just one short hour every Thursday afternoon is spent in fellowship with each other and with the Christ, w hile the last rays of the setting sun shine through the windows as a symbol of the light that the hour brings into our hearts. It is indeed the place where our perspective is broadened, where our scale of values is set straight, where we learn to know- each other best. “We believe in the nobleness of work,” but also in laughter and good times, and some- times gather around a blazing fire on the sands of Lake Michigan while we listen to the voice ot the winds and waves. 1 he Y. W. also seek' to make it' influence felt beyond the campus. This past year we have again had a share in contributing to the salary of the principal of Hope High School, India, and at Christmas time we packed our usual boxes for four of our Home Mission stations. The Y. Y. throws out its challenge to those who would serve the King and loyally Him obey.” Follow, follow the gleam. Standards of worth o’er all the earth; Follow, follow the gleam Of the light that shall bring the dawn. Page Seventy-six Page Seventy seven Student Volunteer Group “The evangelization of the world in this generation. Is our aim too high? We not only believe, hut are convinced that if all the .Christians of the world would shoulder their share of the burden laid upon them by Christ when he said, � o ye and preach the gospel to all nations, every part of the globe could be evangelized in this generation. We are going in person, Cod willing, to bring the glad tidings to those who have never heard of the Master’s love. The missionary enterprise is nothing new. It began with Jonah and was taken up with new purpose and vigor by the Master of men Himself. Ours is the heritage left us by Christ and we shall not fail! We believe that the gospel at present is not being distributed as it should be. I.et us use as a parable the incident of Christ feeding the five thousand with the loaves and fishes. What would we have thought of the Master had He proceeded to pass the food to the front ranks only? Vet that idea of front rank service still prevails among many men today in regard to the spreading of Christianity. The Student Volunteer Movement exists to inspire students with a spirit of world-wide fellowship and not a fellowship limited to the front lines. Our group is but a unit of the whole movement. We purpose to meet together weekly for prayer and discussion of foreign mission problems. The need of the sin-sick world today is Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Here we arc Lord.—send us.” Leader.............. I'ire-Leader......... Secretary- Treasurer Wii.i.iam Van’t Hoi ---- Aones Hiikema Ol.lVER VkV IK I. ASSES’ Home Volunteers 1 he Home Volunteer Band was organized three years ago with a three-fold purpose: first— to strengthen our interest in our calling; secondly—to acquaint ourselves with its problems; and thirdly—to create a closer relationship with our Clod. With the development of civilization, more complex problems arise for the ministry to confront. We believe this is one way to prepare ourselves for our Master’s service. Bv the passing of another year the Home Volunteers have been brought into a closer contact with the church of Clod. Through talks by our own members, and those who have taken an active part in the service of Christ, we have been able to form a vague conception of our future task. It is our earnest prayer that God will fit us for the establishment of 11 is kingdom upon earth.

She hopes high” in all things, and she also places her hopes on high, from whence cometh her help: and she thus clings close to the motto of her Alma Mater, Sfiera in Pro. The emblem which we constantly associate with Hope College is the anchor;” the totem of our Indian institution is the shield.” Among Hope High School's prized possessions is the CIregg Memorial Shield, which the school has been winning for several consecutive years in the annual district athletic meets. The annual tug of war with rival institutions in the district is as keenly anticipated as the annual pull at Hlack River. The absence of rivers on the Telugu plateau may make the scene less dramatic, but the excitement and enthusiasm is, nevertheless, very keen, for each member of the winning team is presented with a silver medal, and the school wins a beautiful silver cup. Scouting, with its strong emphasis on outing and service, has developed into one of the strongest influences at Hope High School. In the last annual rally of the Bov Scouts, the troop was successful in scoring the highest number of points in the general competition, and thus won a large beautiful Union Jack. Another phase of the work is dramatics. The Hope High School Dramatic Club presented its annual programme in October, when it staged The Merchant of Venice,” before a large crowd. One of the outstanding events in this school year was the initial meeting of the Hope High School Alumni Association. There was much genuine enthusiasm manifested and steps were taken for a permanent organization. Thus the students, the teachers and alumni of Hope High School, together with the Hopcites on this side of the ocean, are eagerly pushing forward in a spirit of co-operation, sharing i;i the building of New India, and furnishing strong, sound timbers for the Church of Christ in India.

WlKRKS Cage Eighty-four The Anchor Tin- Anchor, published every Wednesday during the collegiate year, is the official organ of the students of Hope College. The management of the paper is in the hands of the Anchor Association, of which all student subscribers are members, and more directly of the Anchor staff elected by the association. 1’he purpose and aim of the newspaper is to reflect the life of the College from it' various aspects; its scholastic activity, its social life, its interests, its ideals and aspirations as a religious institution, and last hut not least, its humor and fun. It is the honest desire of the editor to keep from the Anchor everything that, in style and content, is unworthy of our standards; also everything that might give offense, individually as well as collectively. In addition to matters of purely local interest, educational articles arc also being published, together with alumni news and whatever may assist in the building process of student life or bring good cheer and promote good fellowship. Much credit is due this year to the editor, Mr. Dc Maagd, ’24, whose term of office expired in February, who has tried in every way to preserve a tone in the paper of which the college need not be ashamed. The business management also deserves commendation for putting the paper on a sound financial basis. In the past, the Anchor has played an important role in the life of the college. It has brought the alumni and friends in closer touch with the college; it has fostered an increased unity among the students; and it has proved to be a powerful advertising agent for our beloved college.

Organized in 1SS7, it has a very real claim as being an historical landmark of the institution. Except for a few years during the war, when it was forced to discontinue its regular meetings because of the large number leaving school, it has been a real help to students desiring to acquaint and perfect themselves in the Dutch language. Yes, there are many such at Hope College, for a large number ot those planning on entering the ministry feel that they will be called upon to use the language of their fathers.

Science Hub “A principle in science is a rule in art.” The aim of the Hope College Science Club is to promote a closer fellowship among those students who are interested in work of a scientific nature. The outstanding purpose of the regular fortnightly meetings is to discuss problems relative to research work along chemical and biological lines. This is done by members of the club, as well as by leading men of scientific knowledge. Juniors who have attained the required amount of credits in science are eligible to join the roll of the Science Club. The club has met with great success in stimulating the interest of science among its members. OFFICFRS Fall Semester President................... IIaroi-d Wierks Vice-President .............

Hope College Chemistry Club During the hist several years, the Chemistry Department of the college has been successful in obtaining appointments tor its men as graduate assistants in the leading universities for the purpose of continuing their work in chemistry. As this number grew, a need was felt for a closer union between these men and those who are planning their careers in chemistry, and for an organization which would stimulate and inspire the under-graduate students. With this end in view the Mope College Chemistry Club was founded toward the close of the school year 1922-1923. College students who have completed one and one-half years' work in chemistry and who have the purpose of making chetnistn their profession are eligible. Tht club includes as honorary members all graduates who are making chemistry their profession. Meetings are held once each month. The members prepare numbers on some phase ot chemistry and when possible local chemists are secured to speak on matters of interest to the club. OFFICERS President ....

The society system was replaced by faculty supervised debating. All candidates tor the teams became members of a debating club in which a study of argumentation and the question was made. Through a method of eliminations teams were selected from this club by a faculty committee. The teams were chosen before Christmas. While the record made is not a shining one, we arc satisfied the new system is a stepping stone to a real organized debating club with a regular debate coach. The scores in the state league do not give our teams the credit they really deserve. In some cases the debates were so close that one might have decided one way as well as another. The schedule included debates with the strongest institutions in the state. This was done in a measure through the operation of the state debate league except for one single debate with M. A. C. on the World Court question. In this debate Hope took the affirmative and lost by a 2-i decision. The state league question dealt with the Huber Unemployment Prevention Bill.

The convention was attended by some two hundred delegates representing fifty-five different colleges and universities from various sections of the country. Those who represented Hope were Nellc Kole, Simon Hecmstra, Harvey De Wcerd, and Dr. J. B. Nykerk. The Peoria meeting was the fifth biennial convention of the Pi Kappa Delta. There are now one hundred and two chapters in the fraternity. In every way the convention was a success. Many phases of forensic activities were dis- cussed, and plans were developed for greater achievement in the future. The program also included several prominent speakers. Perhaps the most interesting and important phase of the convention program was the contests. There were four contests, two oratorical for men and women respectively, and likewise two extempore contests. Hope’s delegates entered each con- test except the women’s extempore contests. They all made an excellent showing. Harvey De VVecrd by a misfortune of circumstances was prevented from entering the final extempore contest. Nclle Kole and Simon Hecmstra succeeded in making the finals. Miss Kole won in the semi- final and took fourth in the final. Mr. Hecmstra won in two eliminations and took first place in the final. He won a gold medal for himself and a silver cup for the college. Both prizes are a permanent possession. The title of Miss Kole's oration is “The Cannon and the Cross. Mr. Hecmstra spoke on the subject “Our Uncrowned Kings.” His oration is published in this Milestone.

There was a great deal of enthusiasm about the organization at first, but other activities on the campus hindered orchestra work so that little progress resulted. Then, too, several of the excellent musicians, forming the nucleus of the orchestra last year, left us in June. Re-organization, therefore, took place, whereby I.c Petit Symphonic replaced the old body. The work has been successful since the change. I he new organization has made several public appearances. A nucleus has been formed and is developing so that a fine orchestra is the promise of the future. OFFICERS Director .................................. President .................................

Although in weight it was only a High School team, it was able to compete with Hrst-cl ass college teams because of its co-operation anti determination to battle until the end. Coach Schouten had only two weeks to whip his team, composed of ten veterans, into shape for the opening tilt, and as usual was hindered by the laboratory hours, but in spite of this fact the team showed it was in condition in the opening contest. I he opening game was played in Holland against Grand Rapids Junior College, a team composed of veterans and high school men of recognized ability. Even the most optimistic of Hope supporters predicted a victory for the opponents by a comfortable margin. Great was the surprise when Junior won only by one touchdown and that the result of a fluke. The defense of Hope was superb and the latter part of the game was featured by terrific smashes by the Hope backs, bringing the ball within twenty-five yards of the goal as the final whistle sounded. The next week Hope entertained Ferris Institute at home by giving her a defeat. The effect of practice was seen in the playing of the Hope eleven and by passes and line plunges. Hope carried the ball over for the only touchdown of the game. The following week a game was played in Detroit against the Detroit City College eleven. It was a sadly crippled team that Coach Schouten had in hand, as the result of vaccination lef: the team without the services of some of the regulars, and some played with very sore arms. In spite of this fact Hope made a fine showing, holding the Detroit team to a very low score, and giving Detroit it’s first real battle of the season. The season ended in Big Rapids with another game against Ferris Institute. During the first half Hope started an advance that Ferris could not stop and by passes and off-tackle smashes carried the ball over the goal for the only touchdown, which meant victory lor Hope. In the second half Ferris braced and the teams battled on even terms, neither side being able to score. Another game was scheduled with Kalamazoo Normal Reserves but because of their failure to appear on time the game was not played. Hope can well be proud of her team which always puts us a great battL . Next year conditions may change and with more time for practice and more men reporting great things can be expected.

Complete under- standing of the game and a de- sire to do nothing but his best has given him a place in the hearts of all of the followers of Hope’s activities on the gridiron. TED ESSEItAGGERS. Tackle. Ted also was a valuable addition to the squad this season. Gain- ing experience on the Reserve squad last year hits helped Ted to a great extent to take his place this season with the regu- lars. His short career at the game shows what a man can do when he makes up his mind to do a thing and then goes after it with the spirit that never is satisfieri with second best. FLOYD VANDERMEEK. Full Back. To really enjoy himself in sports Flip” must feel the thrill thnt only a plunge thru the line can give. To make a hole thru the line for Flip is like making way for the Twentieth Century Limited. It is because of his loyalty to his team and honest endeavors in all phases of school life that his teammates so unan- imously chose him to lead the 1921 eleven on the gridiron. RAY DOEKSEN. Right End. Ray has no time to take note of the score, believing with all his heart that the man who works hardest will finally give his team the victory. Regardless of the odds against him. Ray will al- ways he found fighting to the last. GEORGE DAMSON. I .eft End. Thinking of George one is invariably reminded of the type of uthlet-s Hope 'evelop3.

Hope is glad to have some of that Ottipobv spirit in her games that same spirit that helped make famous the Haskell Indians thru Chief's brother. BERT KEMPERS. Guard. Another example of persever- ance is found in “Kemp who won his monogram this season after two seasons with the Re- serves. Kemp has often helped to stem the tide or to bring victory to his college by taking either a guard or tackle position when necessary. Kemp will he missed next season. HENRY HOSTING. Half Back.

To tackle the big things in life is the lesson he has left with his team-mates. Page One Hundred Ten 1'11 k Varsity Basketball Am. Set. Pane One Hundred Eleven Basketball An entirely different situation existed in Hope basketball circles this season when ‘‘Jack issued the first call than was presented last season. Only one man was lost to the team, and that was “Smiling Jake” Joldersma. Jack whipped the squad rapidly into shape, and the results were some of the fastest tilts ever witnessed on Carnegie floor. The Orange and Blue five opened the season auspiciously with three wins before the Christ- mas recess. I'he Grand Haven Athletic Club was defeated 41-14, Zion Athletic club succumbed 27-12, and Calvin took a 3S-13 look-in. On the vacation trip through Wisconsin and Indiana Hope lost three games, but these arc not counted on our regular schedule. The New Year was opened in a fitting way when the time-honored game with the Grand Rapids “Y on New Years Day was won 18-15. M. A. C. and University of Detroit chalked up a win apiece. After recess Huntington was disposed of in a 21-10 manner, and the next week saw the squad traveling to Kalamazoo and winning out 31-27. Next came the memorable Indianapolis “Y game which was tucked under Hope’s belt .� 9-2S. Kazoo College ran into a deluge here and returned home drenched 37-19. The Western State Normal five took a 20-14 victory back with them, but Michigan City Y was nosed out here by a 31-30 total, in another thriller. On a trip into Indiana, Hope lost two games by the same scores, one to the Michigan City “Y gang, and the other to Valparaiso, 31-21. Western Normal rolled up a score and aided by excellent stalling tactics got another win, 26-20. In spite of the excellent treatment accorded the team at Manchester (Ind.) College, the boys nosed them out -’.1-2,3. At Huntington they fared worse, and lost 17-16. The last regularly scheduled game brought the famous Valparaiso five here for a return game. Despite their imposing record Hope almost vanquished them, but a rally by Harris, clever forward, gave them another victory to add to their record. They won, 22-20. In two post- season tilts not on the regular schedule the Holland Furnace’s collection of stars scored two wins, one 26-24, and the other 33-26. Hope lost none of her laurels, however, as this five was considered one of the best in Michigan. The past season, under the leadership of Captain Irving, has been eventful because of the fact that athletic relations have been established with new rivals—very strong colleges, including Manchester and Valparaiso. The whole squad returns next season, and promises to even better the record of this season with ten wins and eight setbacks, some by very narrow margins.

Chief” plays clever basketball, and us- ually has an unerring eye. at least always managing to sur- prise the fans with two or three center-court shots in a game. Chief comes back to the Orange and Blue for another season. BEN RIEMERSMA. R. Guard. “Beans Ricmersma is so well- known to all Hope fans that he needs almost no introduction. Ben usually puts up a steady, re- liable game at guard, and few and far between are the ringers made through his guard. Ben's uncanny ability at midcourt shooting has often saved the Orange anil Blue from narrow defeats. Ben will return also for another season. FREI) YON KM AN. Manager.

Our Aim We, as members of the team representing our fellow students on the basketball court, are desirous of bringing to our college the best of opposition. To do this in the season of 1924-1925 we need your support as we have had it this year. To furnish you with the best in basket- ball; to play hard and clean in all competition; to bring to our college the Michigan State Collegiate Championship, with your support, is our aim for next season.

Page One Hundred I if teen Reserves Of all the basketball candidates, only those who arc best qualified make the varsity squad. We often forget that the Reserves are a very essential factor in producing a winning varsity team. Although they come out faithfully for every practice, they are merely labeled “scrubs” and then usually forgotten. It they can “do their bit” in helping the varsity go through a successful season they will be satisfied. This year’s Reserves have had a fairly successful season. On the home floor they played various teams, some of which were very strong. Among them were the Holland V. M. C. A., the I.akcview Allstars and the Trinity Lutherans who won the Grand Rapids’ S. S. championship. During the Christmas holidays, they played several of the strongest independent teams of Northern Michigan. I.ater, they traveled to Lakevicw and Muskegon, to win both tilts. The Reserves have established for themselves and for their college a very good reputation. Other teams speak most highly of the fine spirit and clean sportsmanship displayed on the courts.

When Ben is behind the bat :� runner is never safe until the batter comes to his aid. At bat he is the undoing of many a pitcher. KENNETH VAN LENTE. First Base. Ken as first baseman is re- liable and quick. He is an all- around athlete and when called upon from the field to this posi- tion his ability was well dis- played. Regardless of the odds Ken fights to the last. JAMES POPPEN, Pitcher. The college is indeed fortunate in having Jim as a hurler. His level head and speed through- out the season make hint a val- uable asset to the team. Jim has confidence and experience anti is a player whom all op- ponents fear. RAY DOEKSEN. Third Base. Duke has played his third year tit the hot corner. He is fast and heady and has a fine peg to first. At the plate he surely can read them since he has garnered more walks than any other man on the squad. CLARENCE LUBBERS. Captain. Second Base. Dubby, as captain, led his men thru a glorious season. Covering his sack as neatly as the best of them Dubby displayed rare form and fine sportsmanship throughout. The Season The 1923 baseball season was a teal success. Coach Schouten did not have many veterans to rely upon, in fact six new men were groomed into positions. I he first game was played with the fast Western State Normal team in a blinding snow- storm. Altho Hope lost Schouten was greatly encouraged by the showing of his men. The next game was played with Ferris Institute af home and Hope snatched her first victory in an interesting encounter. Three trips were made during the season, the first to Mt. Pleasant and Big Rapids. The Hope aggregation suffered defeat at the hands of the teachers hut the next day, with a determina- tion to win, Hope again defeated Terris, a game in which Hope scored three home runs. ’age One Hundred Eighteen JOHN Z V BERING. I-oft Field. Johnny inst )i' a name for him self ns a baseball player at Hol- land High. His ability in the outfield was displayed by many brilliant and heart-breaking catches. No one worried when the ball went out toward Johnny la-cause all knew that he would handle it well. GEORGB DAMSON. Right Field. Yuts, playing his first year at college baseball, made a hit with all the fans. George is alert from head to foot something funda- mental in the Great American game. J. HENRY AI.BERS. Pitcher. Of all the sports Hcinie enters he excells in baseball. His work on the mound for the first year with coaching was of the highest type. No matter where he played he always had the pepper up and did his best. He is man- ager of the 1924 team. JAMES OTTIPOBY. Short Stop. Then? is nothing slow about Chief at shortstop. Hot ones and slow ones look alike to him. He heads the list of batters and. being fleet of foot, his base-run- ning is a sensation. GEORGE STEKETEE. Center Field. George, following in the footsteps of his brother, always «lid his best for Hope. His faithfulness is a good example for all men who wish to suc- ceed. His work at bat in the Hillsdale game is worthy of note. The following week bats were crossed with St. Mary's College at Orchard Lake. 1 he Hope boys weren’t used to playing in a pasture so they had to drop the game. Albers pitched this game and benched thirteen men by the strike-out route. Poppen worked the next game at M. A. C. and the closest game of the season was played. Walker, M. A. C. coach, said later that it was the best game of their season. Toward the end of the season Hope played Hillsdale and the Holland Independents. I he latter team was given the scare of the season in a very close contest. Hope added a victory when they played the Millmen of Cirand Rapids. One of the largest crowds of the season witnessed this game. Pays One Hundred A'ineteen JAMES DE PR E E. Left Field. Jim will be with the team an- other year and. according to his development this season, much is expected from him in the two years ho still has to give to Hope. RAY LUBBERS. Center Field. Dad lived up to his reputation of being a hard and clean player, whenever called upon to perform in the outfield. Dad has played his last year for Hope. JACK SCHOUTEN. - he puts into his work all that he has. PERRY BUIKEMA, Pitcher. Whenever occasion permitted. Perry showed his stulT on the mound. It was due to Perry that the squad had numberless nights of batting prac- tice. He will long be remembered because of his willingness to give what he had. During the season not one game was postponed on account of the weather. This proved to he a great inspiration to the players. The year 1924 will see all the regulars ready for another year and Hope should he found well up in the lead of the state teams. Page One Hundred Twenty Track With the “On your marks! Get set! Go! signal hut two months away, with such nucleus of veterans to build upon a' Hope has seldom had in times past, track prospects tor the year looked very encouraging. I'hc call of the cinder-path did not appeal to these alone, however, tor about sixteen promising candidates appeared in spikes and sprinting garb. It is upon those men, who are willing to go through the period of training and thus furnish competition for older runners, that the success of track depends. Immediately after curricular duties were again resumed, and having been thoroughly in- structed by “Jack , the men took up the work with a will, determined to make the best of the few weeks of training previous to the Intercollegiate Cross-country run at M. A. As precedent seems ro have established, Hope was again compelled to be contented with third place by the Kalamazoo aggregations, the College putting tip an unusually strong team. However, consider- ing the fact that this was a state meet, in which several larger colleges participated, we feel our sleek warriors «lid exceptionally well. 1'his spring the management has endeavored to arrange meets with Grand Rapids Junior College, Calvin College and Hillsdale College, but without success. Nevertheless it is quite probable that there will be an intcrclass, cross-country race some time in May. This will provide an opportunity for development of future track material and promote greater interest in spor� on the cinder path. Page One Hundred Twenty-one DELBERT KINNEY EGBERT SCHUTT. Del , after a year of absence, returned with his old pep and helped to uphold the honor of the Collette, taking third place in the killing struggle at M.A.C. No one succeeds without persis- tence and it's Kinney who fights to the last ditch. GARRET WISSINK. Wissie” my name is consis- tency. Carrying at least twenty pounds more luggage than the average runner. Wins finishes with the best of them. Again, it is persistence that has won Wissink a monogram for three consecutive years. Schuttie . Hope’s speedometer, is a man to whom we can al- ways look for a finish well in the lead. His running form and light weight, with consistent training, place him as Hope's first-string runner. Schuttie finished first for Hope at M.A.C. RAY VAN ZOEREN. Manager. Ray is a veteran of two years experience. He will be out next year to worry the leaders. It is Ray's interest in track that is needed to put out a winner next season. JACK SCHOUTEN. —he will be with us next year to make it a winner. EI.MER VAN LARE. Captain. Larry has made a fine captain thru his ex- ample in training and putting forth every effort to give Hope a winning track team. Although rather stocky. Larry sets the pace with Schuttie” and. pounding away together, they have worried many a runner by leaving them in their dust. BARNARD LUBEN. Bern always on the job.

Delphi In ancient Greece, near the ruling sea, was a quaint town in a deep rugged glen, bounded by smooth steep rocks that reflected the clear, warm light of the Grecian sun. And from the dark fissures in the tall cliffs came misty vapors and soft mysterious voices. And from all parts of the world came men to plan their futures and guide their lives according to the wise words that came from the deep crevices. Today, too, there is a quaint town near a wide blue-green inland sea. And there is a firm rock that reflects the clear light of learning. And, now, too. they come from all parts of the world to guide their lives according to the words that come from the prophetic rock. But those who hear the voices of Delphi go out again into the world feeling a greater interest in life and a deeper love for mankind. OFFICERS Fai.i. Term President ...................

The refreshing draughts awaken them to greater possibilities and responsibilities. They are no longer mere seekers after knowledge; but men in search of the nobler things in life. By constant association, the weak man is made strong and the strong man is made stronger. There are indescribable links in the great chain that holds men together. Dark clouds may gather, furious foes assail; but there is an unspeakable joy in the clasp of the uplifting hand which leads men onward, always onward. Unerringly, we, members of the Knickerbocker Society, strive to fulfill those principles for moral, social, and intellectual growth. It is our keenest wish and our highest aim to live for Christ and our fellow men. This bubbling fountain is ours. Intertwined with the Orange and Blue are those beloved colors. Ruby and Black.

It is a joy to meet in the spirit of fraternity. And men should meet in this spirit, especially those who in the future are to guide the course of human activity. Conventions of this kind, I believe, are particularly important. W'e listen to speakers, we discuss plans, we are informed and guided by authority; and, after it is all over, we return t° our colleges with new enthusiasm to diiect forensic activities. W'e represent that part of society, it seems to me, which lives above the average level, and arc therefore responsible for maintaining and raising the standards of that level. W e Americans are a busy people. Our philosophy is pragmatism. We arc intensely practical, absorbed in the spirit of doing things. We are a zealous and an industrious people. And under our system every individual has the right to work for himself, to do those things he is most interested in and best fitted for doing. We have liberty and independence in our action and thinking. And yet, characteristic as all this may be, we are guided on every hand by managers, administrators, leaders, and statesmen. As a nation our prestige in international affairs is great. Constantly other countries seek our opinion and advice. American statesmen are being intrusted with some of the greatest responsibilities of international life. And why arc they? What is so peculiar to our leadership? What is so significant in the unique American frame of mind? What special mission have we as a people to perform in the present slate of affairs? Well, let us see. Shall we examine conditions for a few moments as they exist today? We are living in an age of unparallcd manifestations. In one field the promoters of peace, of law, and of justice, are striving to assert their ideals; while in another the instigators of hate, of fear, and of war, are displaying even greater efforts. The world is a congeries of different philosophies, of different passions, and of different desires. Only yesterday, it seems, we emerged from the bloodiest war of all history. Every nation was deeply disgusted with the crime and brutality of it. War became recognized as the greatest menace to modern civilization. The idealism of universal peace and common brotherhood pre- vailed. Then came the Peace Convention, so-called, and alas! suddenly the noble objective, namely, making the world safe for democracy, vanished. The ingenuity which hail guided world progress for centuries likewise defaulted, giving place to passions and jealousies. In a moment the victory of battle was translated into terms of defeat. The desire to settle disputes of war on a basis of reason and justice and in a spirit of friendliness was totally wanting at the Paris Conference, nor has it become manifest even today. We hope the work of the Dawes Commission is a step in advance toward stabilization. But there are many obstacles to overcome. The old animosities are still keenly alive. Cnwillingness in Germany to break or bend is a big obstruction in the a to reach a good understanding. Page One Hun tired Forty eight On the other hand, the French objective of crippling Germany’s economic power, and even destroying it, is equally hazardous to complete restoration. One nation has deflated it' money to make reparation payment impossible, while the other has overburdened it' people with taxa- tion insisting on reparations by a policy of forceful aggression. At a time, therefore, when nations should feel by virtue of their excessive sacrifices in the war that a fair and reasonable settlement is imperative, they continue to grab each other by the throat, struggling, as it were, for final mastery. Nor that only, but disagreements and quarrels between the Allied Powers themselves leads to further complications. The Poincare-Baldwin communications a few months ago demonstrated the antagonistic attitudes of governments which should be co-operating in policies of reconstruction and re-establishment of harmonious relations between peoples. Hence, when nations should be united in a common brotherhood striving to promote the highest welfare of civilization, there is to be found on every hand naught but unmeasured pride, cupidity, revenge, and fatuity,—all of them links in the devilish chain dragging Europe to her ruin. I his malady, however, is not only decpl rooted in Europe, but is gripping all western civilization. Of course, we of America arc differently constituted from the European peoples. Our motives and our life are manifestly distinct. We are devoted to principles and ideals. We believe in liberty under law with equal opportunity for all. We stand for government based on character and service. We cherish Christianity as the true philosophy of life. Our thinking has always been high and noble, obsessed with a will and passion to do the right, to make reason, justice, and the will of God prevail. And because of these virtues, we, indeed, hold a lofty position of influence and usefulness in the world. On the contrary, there is at present a trend in our life endangering our highest motives. I he menace of lawlessness i' constantly being referred to. Incidents such as the Williamson County episodes horrify us. Disregard for law and order has become manifest in even section of the country. Again, we are informed through recent revelations made by Secretary Hughes that there are Red elements in America precipitating, if possible, a revolution. Then we hear of religious dissension and race and class hatred. Corrupt politics have been conspicuous for some time. Men are buying their places in the legislatures. Radicals champion progrcssivism and then proceed to block all practical legislation. During the last five years Congress has been a harbor of different blocs and factions, each opposed to the other. We thought the late President Harding could unite these diverse elements, but he failed at the sacrifice «if hi' life. My friends, we are divided. There is no united American front on the vital issues of the day. We seek selfish ends. Everywhere there is an unsettled state of mind. Deception, suspicion, and cynicism stalk through the land. We are alarmed to think what tomorrow may bring forth. Observation of these facts leads to inquiry as to the causes of present conditions. Have men degenerated? Have they become careless and indifferent? Are we failing to live up to our ideals? Why is it that fraud, selfishness, dishonesty, and hypocrisy are creeping into the political philosophies of even nation? Why do so many statesmen, men in whom people place their greatest confidence for hope of the future, pursue policies disregarding all public welfare and regarding only, it seems, the idea of retaining their office and their positions? Why do people continue to be greedy, to envy, to hate? Here, it seems to me, is the reasonable answer: The minds of men have been directed toward the wrong goal. Our thinking has been crooked. Such activities as we view with alarm are the outcome of vicious motives, wicked ideas, evil passions, and wrong beliefs. I'he mechanisms of learning, of industry, and of government arc for the most part sound. The difficulty lies not in our institutions and system; it is in the men behind them— in their thinking and doing. Page One Hundred Forty-nine hat the world needs today is a great revival, a renewal of spirit, something which will re-awaken our emotions, kindle our conscience, and direct our passions. We must fall in love with other things than those we now love. There must be renewed obedience to law, respect for righteousness, and devotion to the American constitution. There must be a revival of ideals, of enthusiasm for humanity, of confidence in our fellowmcn, and of the spirit of co-operation among the world’s workers. Men must live as brothers. What the world needs most todaj is brotherly love. The lamented President Harding, in his last address, his valedictory, said, ‘•I tell you, my countrymen, the world needs more of the Christ; the world needs the spirit of the Man of Nazareth, and if we could bring into the relationship of humanity among our- selves and among the nations of the world the brotherhood that was taught by the Christ, we could have a restored world; we would have little or none of war, and we would have a new hope for humanity throughout the earth.” These words of our martyred President, my fellow-citizens, are a testimony that only a thorough revival will re-establish good-will among men and will insure honesty, sincerity, and justice in our dealings with one another. By it men will see the futility of their present policies, the fallacy of their present philosophies. It is the only way to restore faith in mankind, belief in the power of truth, confidence in the laws of righteousness, and the conviction that all men are truly brothers and that no individual, state, or nation can hope to prosper if its own welfare is gained at the expense of the misery or destruction of another. A spiritual renascence is the only solution of the present day problems. But of what use merely to propose a solution? The revival must be inaugurated by us, fellow-students. It is our bounden duty. It is our present business, because we are leaders of tomorrow and as Americans are we not peculiarly fitted for this undertaking? We have a noble heritage of character, we have a great vision of what is to be and what should be. Shall we accept the challenge of leadership in restoring the world to more noble living? Are we willing to dedicate ourselves to the purpose of vindicating the principles of truth, of justice, and of love? Some time ago a prominent New York attorney and a Presbyterian minister met at a convention in Buffalo. During the course of their discussion concerning current events the attorney made this remark: “What we need in our life today is more Christian character and personality. The supreme demand of the hour is for noble, courageous, and virtuous leadership. The poet Holland, in his poem, entitled, Men Wanted,” says, “God give us men! The time demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands. Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue, And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. For while they rabble with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions, and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps! Wrong rules the land, and waiting justice sleeps! Can you say, “Take down your sign, I'm your man?” This the challenge. You are Our Cncrowncd Kings. You wear the purple. We look to you tor kingly conduct. We look to you for leadership.

'27- Page One Hundred Fifty-one 9 THE MILESTONE l ■ Hi- America’s Strongest Citadel AWARDED THIRD PLACE In the M. O. L. Written and Delivered By Miss Acnes Buikema e live in a day of urcat confusion. I‘hc problems occupyinu the American mind are those which have followed in the wake of war. To find a solution for these problems every phase of our national life is being explored. In attempting to readjust social conditions, we face the prob- lem of the home, the basis of all s� � rial life. And we are beginning to realize that the corner- stone in the building of the new era is, indeed, the American home. During the latter half of the nineteenth century, a keen interest was aroused in the origin and development of social institutions. Paramount among these was the family. Thus, in France, many years ago, there was a cry, Kill the home and you destroy family, manhood, patriotism.” on know how much of the strength of the New England home went into the making of our own republic. I he Great War itself has taught us that the regulation of home life has a very direct bearing upon national welfare. History points unmistakably to the home as a factor in the pros- perity or decadence of nations. Where lay the strength of Rome in the days of her pomp and power? Was it not found in her simple homes, where the sturdy Roman citizen was reared, and was taught the art of living—the science of meeting the social needs of his time? But when this hardy Roman stock was depleted by numerous wars, when plebeians became citizens, and slaves came in by conquest, then it was that the ancient morals became tradition. Thev were no longer adequate for the needs of the new society, with its new problems and new complexities. Rome be- came a civilization based on plunder, contaminated by oriental vice. The home as instructor in the art of living ceased to function. It failed of its purpose—the strongest pillar of the state tot- tered on its foundation; the state fell into utter ruin. The home is of supreme importance today. Press and magazine articles written by school teachers, as well as probation officers and judges of Juvenile courts, all tell us that deficient homes arc responsible for the present state of the nation’s youth. They emphatically maintain that fathers ami mothers must awaken to the responsibilities of parenthood. Judge I.indsev speaks prophetically when he says: “The youth of today is passing along with the current of a great river, and the average parent standing on the shore and watching, knows no more of where the youth is going than he knows of what lies in the murky depths of the stream.” Everywhere we hear warnings of family decadence. The amazing increase in divorce is robbing marriage of its sacred meaning. Our newspapers flaunt accounts of trial marriages,” of notorious “records” in the race of divorce-getting. Living conditions in our crowded cities weaken the ties of kinsh:p and make impossible a beautiful home-life, a home-life such as Burns portrays in the ('otter’s Saturday Night.” The little children in the slums of our large cities are surrounded by con- ditions which make crime easy and inviting. The home in these districts is not ready to meet these enemies. It docs not teach children how to live. Even in the so-called respectable homes of our land, there is a forsaking of the ideals of the past. Sad to say, the mad rush of modern life allows no time for religion in the home. Family prayers are now considered “out-of-date;” religious life in the home is counted foolishly old-fashioned and unimportant. The sacred in- Page One Hundred Fifty-two fluency of the homy is being sacrificed for financial prosperity, social standing, or business ad- vancement. There is no time for loving intercourse between parents and children. Many chil- dren never know their parents sufficiently to he confidential with them. Fathers and mothers are too “busy” to take time to bring up citizens fit for modern society. Indeed, many a life is being hopelessly wrecked, when a timely warning from a father or mother might have averted the catastrophe. As a rcsidt, juvenile court records are full of cases of parents who didn't know” until it was too late. A story is told of a famous sculptor who wept bitterly over the broken bits of marble that had once been his masterpiece. Vet, we know of parents who do not make a single effort to save their children from the tragedy of human wreckage! Thousands of women today are choosing a career,” so-called. Many of these are the mothers of children who will be future citizens. Vet, they look with contempt upon their sisters who are satisfied with the humble duties of the household. Eagerly they hurry away to assume positions in the professions. They consume time and skill and energy to form a statue from lifeless marble, but have no appreciation of the art of molding a human life. The world of poetry and music charms them, but they have no sense of the nobility of training a human soul in the harmonies of life. Some women do choose the home and the rearing of children. However, there are comparatively few who recognize the needs of their children sufficiently to show an interest in the small details of child life—to choose with them their books, companions, and amusements. Ambitious men and women speak of making their mark in the world; they strive to make a name for themselves. Very well; but let them begin by exercising love, patience, and sympathy in the home. In this way they shall place upon the ten- der lives of their children the stamp of worths parent's personality. As imperishable as the im- press of a fallen leaf or a raindrop upon the sand that later hardens into stone is the home in- fluence exerted every day upon the life of a child. Can those of us who have memories of a child- hood spent in a happy home ever estimate justly its worth in life and character? Can we ever forget that there we were sheltered, made strong in body, inspired in mind, and, above all, taught day by day that our every act incurred the righteous sentence of Clod’s everlasting moral law? Can we ever hope to repay the uncounted hours of time and ceaseless effort, the devoted sacrifices of loving parents who realh made it their business to teach us to live? The influence of a godly home gives to the whole trend of life, far into the eternal years, such stability, such direction, that no after influence, no subtle temptation can turn its course aside. Those who interpret each change as an indication of social progress seem to be obsessed with the idea that we no longer need homes of the old-fashioned type, where children respected their parents, and the parents in turn sought the highest welfare of their children. Since women’s work has been made remunerative by the war, they ask. why should the housewife waste her vitality and enthusiasm in domestic labor? When the children rebel against parental authority, are they not merely asserting themselves and developing their individuality? The insatiable thirst for pleasure and amusement is only natural, they tell us, because the modern home cannot be expected to furnish the necessary diversion for the family. Opinions like these show clearly that we are losing the art of home-making—that the home of today does not foster children in- structed in the art of living, strong and ready to meet the complexities of the modern world. The problem, then, of the twentieth century is to make the home a deciding factor in social and religious progress—a real place of preparation for the men and women of the future. 1 he home must become a place where co-operative activity is encouraged, a nursery for religious aspiration, a school for the broader lile of the world. It must produce a manhood cosmopolitan Page One Hundred Fifty-three and positive in character. It must produce a higher type of civilization by elevating men to a Christian brotherhood. We must not expect men to arrive in offices and factories in a spirit of conciliation, when their homes are scenes of strife and discontent, where they have never learned self-control and brotherly love. Business men will fail to deal unselfishly, unless they have learned self-sacrifice at their own firesides. The fact is, no home life will be better than the lives of those who make that home, and no nation will ever rise above its homes. America should be in the van of the struggle for human progress. We are working out problems that other nations must soon face. Our country is a vast social laboratory where men are experimenting with world problems. The character of our national life qualifies us for the task. Our vast resources, our civil, intellectual, and religious freedom, our system of public edu- cation, the influence of our popular press,—all these enable us to furnish the world many lessons for imitation or avoidance. Fellow Americans, what a great responsibility is ours! Behold Materialism, that subtle foe, encroaching upon the hallowed temple of the home! Before our very eyes his ruthless hands are tearing from its walls all that is sacred and beautiful. Can we look on and remain indifferent? No, we can not! The stamp of divine intention and ordination is upon the home. Our fondest dreams for America’s future wiil never be realized if we allow the home to be desecrated. Together we must drive out the ravishing destroyer and restore again the ruined temple. Young men and women, you will be the fathers and mothers of the future. Yours is a noble calling. With you rests the high duty of making homes, real homes, permeated with an atmos- phere fit for the first life impressions of little children. Ah, do you not glimpse the vision of the home that is to be? It is a vision of a beautiful, a happy place, filled with the spirit of loving sacrifice, moral integrity, and devout loyalty to Cod. I see there a father and mother living in mutual confidence and harmony. I see, too, the faces of children—bright, eager faces they arc, radiant with the possibilities of noble manhood and womanhood. Thus, as you dream your dreams of the future, weave into them the loftiest idealism and the most sacred allegiencc to duty that the home requires of you. In the words of Ruskin, this future sanctuary of yours, so far as it is a vestal temple, a temple of the heart watched over by Household Gods • so far as it is this, and roof and fire are types only of a nobler shade and light so far it vindi- cates the name, and fufills the praise, of Home!” Page One Hundred Fifty font Religion I he acknowledgment of the fact that there is a Mipcrhuman being, and the reverence that men feel for this supreme power make up what is called religion. The term itself cannot he traced to its source, for even ancient writers disagree as to its origin. However, a� all times, men have had the feeling of awe for the supernatural that is the foundation of the emotional side of religion. In the primitive man. religion is almost entirely a matter of emotion. There goes hand in hand with the fear of things not understood, the knowledge that there is something more powerful than they, which must he worshipped. The Indian worshipped his Sun-Ciod because of his love and thankfullness for his blessings. On the other hand, it was out of fear that he worshipped his Thunder-God. He thought by offerings to appease the God’s anger and turn away his wrath. When we leave the primitive man we find the religions to be more of the mind. Such a re- ligion had the Greek philosophers. They believed in Zeus as chief and master of the gods. In addition they had an elaborate system of lesser gods with a well worked out plan of their powers, virtues, etc. This religion was a masterpiece of the human mind. It is, however, when wc combine the two—emotion and intellect—that we get the best religions. Such a one is Christianity. We have the knowledge of CJoel and His Son. Wc know Christ's teachings, and through them we know how we should live. We know the highest moral standards and are expected to put them into practice. We can use reason in our religion and still find it impregnable. In all this our religion is one of the mind, but to this is added emotion. I he love and worship due to God comes from our hearts spontaneously. We render our homage to the supreme mind and will, freely, with perfect faith that it will be received. Some people give vent to their religious feelings by a great show of pompous piety. They seek to prove their allegiance to the all powerful One by means of sacrifices, fasts, pilgrimages and other outward signs. Others, despising such methods as false, try to live better and purer lives in devotion and quiet piety. Some have left the world and live in seclusion in ordei to be able to worship aright. Others have thought that the true worship was to be found in the world by rendering service to others. One and all, however, try to give expression to their most sacred feelings. Religion is a universal feeling. All men are fundamentally religious in their tendencies. If man does not know the true God, he sets up for himself idols. When missionaries go to convert loreign lands to their religion they find that the people already have a religion of their own. Man has a feeling in him w hich must be expressed in the worship of some person or thing. Arnold, in “Literature and Dogma,” has given us a statement which might be taken to bind together all our beliefs on the subject in one sentence. “Religion, if we follow the intention of human thought and human language in the use of the word, is ethics heightened, enkindled, lit up by feeling; the passage from morality to religion is made when to morality is applied emo- tion.” Eu .aio nr Moik, ‘27. ’«j.sv One Hundred Fifty fi-. e The Weakness of Strength AWARDED THIRD PLACE In the XI. (). I.. Written and Delivered II y Mr. John Dethmers Life presents many perplexing problems. He lives well who succeeds in finding satisfactory solutions to these problems. To some comes the problem of making a living, to others the prob- lem of making a life. The former will solve selfishly: the latter, unselfishly. Each alike shall have their reward. Evil for evil and good for good shall the recompense be. As the man so the state. Problems have assailed the governments of the world from time immemorial. They confront us in every phase of national life today. Some are of vital import- ance to our country's welfare, while others are made to appear so. There is one great question of undisputed importance that fills the minds of many at the present time. How shall we maintain permanent world peace? No other thought receives more consideration and arouses more con- sternation than the disturbing thought of war. War is waste—eternal, inexcusable, irreparable waste. It is the greatest curse known to man- kind; the most terrible of all the horrors devised In the forces of evil against the human race. W ho can doubt the cruelty, the futility of war? Let the condoner of it but take a fleeting glimpse into history. Hehold ancient Athens, the city of magnificent art. perfected culture, inspired litera- ture. now, alas, a scene of ruin and desolation. Remember Carthage, that haughty citadel of wealth and splendor, long since ra ed to the ground. And what of ancient Rome, that monarch of the world? Asserting her authority by the sharp, two-edged sword, she fell by her own weapon. Turn where you will, and you shall find havoc and destruction: where man were wont to glory in their own strength, the slinking fox now bringeth forth its young. These ruins represent the energies of men, wasted—wasted forever, without excuse, beyond all repair. This is the price that men have paid the cruel avarice of war. And where are they who thus have toiled in vain? Slaughtered in cold blood! 'They who would massacre were massacred. Their bleached bones surmount the heaps of ruins, an admonition to future genera- tions against the pride and blind ignorance which cause men to tamper with those exterminating instruments of war which will eventually be directed against themselves. They met their prob- lems, offered their solutions, and reaped the corresponding harvest. How shall we face like situa- tions today? Shall our action merit a reward such as theirs? We realize that modern civilization has not yet advanced beyond the barbarisms of warfare. Fresent-dav instruments for perpetrating this legalized and systematized crime are more deadly than ever before. Inventions and discoveries have been made, permitting of slaughter and de- struction on so gigantic a scale as would make all past warfare seem insignificant. On the sur- face of the seas and from their watery depths, from the skies above and on the land below, everywhere lurk the threatening harbingers of death. Nowhere can safety be found. During the great world war, thirty-six millions of people died, either in battle, or from wounds received in battle, or from the awful plague that followed the war. Thousands of others were maimed for life. Cherished works of art were blown to atoms. Land has been rendered unfit for habitation. Everywhere people stagger under the vast burdens of grief, despondency, and debt. In despair we ask, what does science promise for the future? We are told that if France were to declare war on the United States this evening, aeroplanes could cross the Atlantic, attack New York City tomorrow morning, and release such poisonous gases as would depopulate the city Page One Hundred Fifly six by noon, tomorrow afternoon could be spent in continuing the drastic devastation at Detroit and Chicago and s. , within twenty-four hours, the three largest cities of our country would be wiped out, their industries destroyed, their people annihilated. 1 ask you. How long shall the works of man be laid waste and human life recklessly destroyed? There is imperative need for change or the sun of hope will be totally eclipsed and the world become a dark vale of despond and cold despair. I he heart of the whole world palpitates with the dread fear of a future conflict. Men hope and pray that wars may cease to be. They have done so for generations; yet wars continue and recur with an inevitable regularity! Facts such as these are strange and incomprehensible! We are tempted to question the sanity of an age which recognizes the awful peril, and yet does nothing to avert it. On the contrary, we seem to invite its approach and to hasten its coining. Who and what can account for this paradox? Are we facing the problem squarely and offering a sane so- lution? We ask, then, what are the causes for warfare? How can these causes be removed and overcome? You cannot evade these questions; they demand your answer! Let us hear what Professor Viallate, a leading Italian economist, says, •‘The Congress of Berlin in eighteen hundred seventy-eight closed a chapter in European history. From that date the relations between European nations were less affected by questions arising in Europe itself than by the struggle carried on outside of Europe for the possession of colonies and markets. Accept- ing this statement of the Professor, we find that during all the years since that time the leading powers of the old world have carried on a bitterly contested rivalry for spheres of influence, colonies, concessions, raw materials, markets, and trade routes. The significant part that this economic imperialism played in paving the way for the recent world war cannot be fully ap- preciated. until we understand to what extent the powers relied upon their military strength to gain their ends. This process of land grabbing has always been accompanied by the rattle of the sabre, i he powers engaged in this mad race for economic gains were also engaged in war- fare almost incessantly. Dirty diplomacy, trickery, war, and the threats of war were the means used to gain the desired economic advantages. It is not a mere coincidence that the era of economic imperialism was contemporary with the period of enormously increased expenditures for armaments. Imperialism and militarism are one and inseparable. The review of facts such as these would tend to cast a new light upon our previously narrow-minded conceptions of the (asus bflh in nineteen hundred fourteen. Bitter competition in the mad scramble for colonial possessions and consequent trade led to an even keener competition in the construction of armaments, which in turn gave rise to an ever- increasing fear and suspicion in the heart of each nation for the other. Fear increased the feverish haste of armament construction, “and so the vicious circle continued with armaments piling higher and higher and fear increasing. Again, desire for economic gain and fear of a hostile armament program led each European nation to seek alliances as a means of strengthening their position. This resulted in two huge, armed camps, each fearful and suspicious of the other. The moment hostilities break out between two nations of opposing alliances, all the nations are drawn into the maelstrom, regardless of their wishes in the matter. Germany is said to have expressed stirpri'c at Britain’s entrance into the fray. She need not have done so, for England's alliance with France and France’s treaties with Russia were no secrets to the world. Fhe question naturally comes to our mind, How can an intelligent, civilized people allow such a state of affairs to continue? We answer. They have been unable to do otherwise. The people have been kept in the dark. Their country's foreign policy is unknown to them. The parliaments themselves are denied the knowledge of the foreign office's affairs. The destiny of the nation is held in the hands of a few, who consider it of no consequence to the public into what wars they may become involved. Is this not the curse of secret diplomacy and alliances? Page One Hundred Fifty-sei fn I he'time for complacency is past. We can no longer indulge in passive resignation to exist- ing conditions. I he time has come for active, forceful resistance! If we solve the problem un- selfishly we shall prosper. Fhe cities of old chose war, and under its weight they succumbed. If, on the other hand, we want peace we must pay the price. First of all, the nations of the world must abolish secret diplomacy and alliances. I.et them substitute regional conferences which, once we have abolished imperialism and militarism, will be fully competent to cope with all international situations. Indeed, the nations of the world must displai a readiness to abandon their policies of economic imperialism. Furthermore, armaments, the cause of fear, must be destroyed; and fear, the cause of armaments must be uprooted. There is a strength other and better than that of military force, for trust in military force leads to a gradual process of cor- ruption, decadence, and disintegration, until at last this very strength becomes a weakness. Recall the Germany of nineteen hundred fourteen, resplendent in her military prowess, proudly secure in her physical strength, until the resulting decay gnawed at the morale of the people. Might is right, they cried. Rut where is Germani today? Oh, the weakness of such strength! Rut there is a strength in weakness! A paradox you say? Think of little Switzerland and the Netherlands insignificant in their impotence, yet firm throughout the centuries, almost unperturbed by the troubles and cares that rock their neighbors. May they long continue to be towers of strength against the forces of evil which lead to warfare and destruction. With secret diplomaci and alliances abolished and regional conferences substituted, with disarmament effected and economic imperialism abandoned, fear will vanish; and what could then remain to disturb the placid surface of the sea of international relationships? Such im- probable disturbances as might arise would well be disposed of by an international court of justice. Fhe world is waiting for such a court, with jurisdiction over all causes of war, with authority to render decisions and settle disputes, with power to execute it' orders. Finally, let us strive for a change in the hearts and minds of men. I ntil this change is wrought, no set of laws or plan lor peace could ever be very effective. Such plans must all rest on man’s ability to assume, in harmony with true patriotism, an international frame of mind. Time was when the feelings of good-will extended to the limits of the famili only, then to the tribe, later to the boundaries of the city, next to those of the state, and within the past century we have seen good-will extended in our own countri to the limits of the union of states, and to Canada beyond our bonders. A man is no less a good citizen of Michigan because he is loyal to the I nited States. He i' no less a good citizen of the I'nitcd States because of his friendli atti- tude towards Canada. Ill fact, the reverse is true. We need that relationship in all international life that we of this country experience in a large measure at home. What danger to love of country is there in a universal feeling of good-will and brotherhood—yea, of common citizenship —all of the same world? Then at last we shall have attained to that goal which all mankind is eagerly seeking, the permanent preservation of world peace.” I.et us then emblazon in flaming letters over the gates ol our new world, “World-wide disarmament, world-wide arbitration, world-wide education for peace. America leads the world today. Rut whither shall she lead? The world is looking to America for leadership and counsel in adjusting the problems of the day. Shall America dis- appoint the world ? When the yoke of a foreign tyrant became too oppressive, America cast it from her shoulders. When the burdens of an enslaved race became unendurable, America removed them. When Cuba staggered under the weight of Spanish atrocities, America interceded. When men were enslaved by liquor, America opened the waj to their rescue. The yoke, the burden, with which the cruel atrocities of war have enslaved men, are far more oppressive, far more unendurable. Our duty is clear. There must be no hesitation. My country, arise! Put on thy strength, Oh America, and go forth conquering, and to conquer in the cause of righteousness!

Connected as it is with the college, the preparatory and college students have many common interests. While the primary interests of the students are scholastic, the extra-curricular activities are in no way neglected. 1'his year the Declamation contests have been spirited and basketball games exciting. It has been a most successful year for the Preparatory Department, more than one hundred being enrolled.

I’age One Hundred Sixty eight Page One Hundred Sixty-nine Watching the “City of Chicago” Entering the Harbor Last summer while fishing at Macatawa we aw the large Chicago boat enter the harbor. It was a bright summer morning, the sun was well up in the heavens, and it was sending its rays down upon us very sharply. While sitting on the end of the left breakwater, I imagined 1 could sec some smoke rising from the water. After watching it closely for sometime I made sure 1 was correct, for it was the boat. Only a small speck could be seen at first away over the water. As it drew nearer and nearer I could make out the shape of the boat, and could see the “lookout in the front. As the boat neared the harbor 1 could see a human figure walking out upon the deck occasionally. I imagined I could hear the band which was seated on the upper deck, in the front part of the boat. After listening sharply, I recognized they were playing Old Black Joe.” It was a grand sight to see the boat enter between the two breakwaters. I could hear the roar of the water in the lower part of the channel as the huge boat plowed its way through. By this time all the people had already assembled upon the decks, and were greeting each other by the tossing of caps, and the waving of hands. The boat let out a low, dull whistle as it passed out of right around the turn. Harry Lemmex, C class. Page One Hundred Seventy Greetings from the Western Theological Seminary The men of the Ve tern Theological Seminary arc glad to send their greetings across the street, not in a paternal way hut in a brotherly sense, knowing that we are brother students. We know some of you intimately, some not so well, and some not at all. To those who are in the last two categories we extend a cordial invitation to come and visit us, while the first group already know that they are welcome. Some people call our institution the angel factory, and the name has a convincing con- notation. It is a hard job to be an angel—ask anybody— and the word ’factory' is suggestive of hard work. Taking them both together at their face value one can readily see that preparing for the greatest task on earth—the ministry of the Lord Jesus (’hist—means consecrated work. Conse- crated work in any business or profession means every brain cell working and every bit of one’s energy strained to make good. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy has a real meaning over here, and, since we are all aiming to shine, the inference is obvious. Some of us find our play on the basketball court—witness our stellar five, others find it on the tennis court and the bowling all -vs in our own up-to-date basement gymnasium, and still others find it in good brisk hikes. We don’t know what the two or three married men in our midst do with their spare time—perhaps they beat iugs, or perhaps married men don’t have any spare time. What does all this mean when you read between the lines? It means that every one of us has found a joy in a common purpose and the realization of that common purpose will mean an- other contribution—large or small, who knows?—to the betterment of mankind. We of the Seminary salute you and hope that there arc those of you who will some day he with us to share our work, to share our plav, and to share our jov in the common cause of Icsus Christ. T. G.

Hitch right to the table, placing your arms in an advantageous position on either side of your plate. Keep your weather eye on your com- petitors. forgetting everything but the work before you. Sometimes they start the dinner with shad’s woe disguised in catsup-et cetera ad infinitum. This is a very crucial moment. Sit back and hold tight until you see what others do, and then go to it. Then comes the soup. While sipping the soup make a cute noise like a leaky faucet. While eating fish, a bone might stick in your throat. Don’t cough it way across the room. In a modest way fish for it with your fork. If a piece of meat crawls off your plate capture it as soon as ]M� ssible and then gaylv snap it across the table. This will probably make every body laugh. When drinking water remember it is considered quite a feat to make a gurgling sound like a soda fountain. If you spill your coffee in your neighbor's lap instantly assure her that you didn't care for the coffee anyway. Follow these instruc- tilius and you'll get another bid next year. • • • I)r.

No girl will propose to a human hair-brush. Put rubber in your tobacco and smoke a strong pipe to remain single during Leap Year. Telling all fat girls they are fat and all skinny girls they are skinny will keep you single during Leap Year. • ♦ • Telling her none of the other girls want to marry you. will keep you single during Leap Year. • Our Leap Year advice to tin women is leap liefore you look. • • (Jet your mother to cook him a meal: swear you cooked it. A full man will marry almost anybody. • • • • • Look your best even when you feel your worst. You will have time to f«-«-l bad after you marry him. The best way for a girl to propose to a man is to sit on his knee until he proposes. Keep the parlor shades down. Last Leap Year many a girl lost her chance l� ecause the shades were up. • • Tell him others want to marry you. Never let on he is your last chance. Men don't like that. Tell him he looks lonely. Tell him often and he will believe it. Then you can marry him easily. Page One Hundred Seventy-six WHAT WK WANT TO KNOW Who does John Hull? Whoso undo is I'nolo Sam? Whnl makes piston ring?

Hundred S?:?nt s?v?n Milestone Calendar SEPT. 15 (lathered in our summer's earnings, packed our trunks, made up our minds to leave for Holland on Monday and try Hope for another year. SEPT. 17 Arrived in Holland on time to meet the gang at Duke’s Cafe, also found a room and prepared for a good night’s sleep. SEPT. 18 Wended our way to Winant’s Chn| el to get a line on the semester’s work. Signed up for a good stiff course because we were told it cost just as much to take a light one. Gladly handed over a hard earned twenty-live dollars and were all set for tin first semester at least. SEPT. 10 Opening exercises: Met some of the old timers besides making some new acquaintances. We were all very glad to see Dr. Kuizenga on the platform who gave the opening address. Being pleased with the new faculty members who were introduced many wanted to change their courses. SEPT. 20 After chapel there is a scramble for tin various class rooms. We introduce ourselves to the professors and agree to buy the necessary books. The Book Agency is rushed for the remainder of the day and offer their usual low prices!!!? SEPT. 21 Jack Schouten is present at chapel. The societies meet for the first time this fall and the same good old times are experienced. Freshmen visitors receive their first ideas as to what our societies are like. SEPT. 22 All new students inquire as to the best church to attend. Shortly after dinner the first feeling of homesickness is experienced. SEPT. 25 Notices are seen all over the campus reminding us of the big mass meeting to be held at 7:30 P. M. DeWeord delines Mass Meeting as a meeting of the Mass. The Freshmen rules are read and explained. After a great deal of quarreling and back-biting, the coin is tossed and the Sophs win tin tip and choose the north side of the river for the coming Pull. SEPT. 26 All students leave for Macatawa to attend the V. M. and Y. W. beach party. After our desires have been filled with hot dogs and our shoes tilled with sand, the only thing to do is come back to Holland. SEPT. 28 There is much excitement as to the “Pull.” Freshmen lack a banner so one of the Freshmen girls gladly offers her handkerchief upon which 1! 27 is printed in startling letters. The Sophs receive a ducking. An ideal evening for a class party. All classes take advantage of it. OCT. 2 Y. W. (’.

Vein� - klassen and Yer Meulen were the first to put out their shingle. OCT. 12 Many reported a restless night due to the noise of early morning trampers.

KALAMAZOO♦ MICHIGAN I’a tie Two Hundred Twenty-on + In the past ten years The Franklin Life Insurance lias trebled in size. Husiness men refer to such growth as progress, or success. The Franklin has enjoyed its measure of success, but its growth has been the incidental result of progress. Since 1884 The Franklin has endeavored to render practicable the highest ideals of life insurance. Its policies have been developed until they meet contingencies with an assured financial protection deemed un- attainable a generation ago. The progress made in perfecting Franklin insurance has given the Company’s policyholders the immense protection which lies in the buying power of One Hundred and Fifty Million dollars. The Franklin has more than this amount of insurance in force, which will be paid to beneficiaries at the time money is most needed. For more than twenty years Mr. W. J. Olive, who retains the implicit confidence of the company, has been 'File Franklin's representa- tive in Holland. Michigan, where his faithful and capable service to clients has established a record of integrity recognized by the insurance world.
