Rev. Paul E. Hinkamp, A.M., B.D. Our college pastor has had a varied career previous to his coming to Hope ' s campus. At one time he was a pastor in a Wis- consin church. Afte r some time spent in this manner the college asked him to take over the instruction here in philosophy and kindred topics. With the passing of the years and the opening of the new- department of religious instruction, Rev. Hinkamp assumed the position of college pastor, at the same time teaching the Bible courses. This is his present field of labor. Rev. Edwin Paul McLean. A.M. Graduating from Hope College in 1918, this amiable instructor enrolled success- ively at the Chicago University Graduate School, the New Brunswick Theological Seminary, and Columbia University, New York City, the latter also in graduate work. After these terms he returned to the University of Chicago Graduate School and also took up work at Northwestern School of Education. With a term of teaching at Morgan Park Military Acad- emy, Chicago, Mr. McLean came to Hope College to teach Religious Education. John H. Schouten, Physical Director ■ Mr. Schouten is in charge of all athletic activities of the campus. To everyone he is known as Jack and because of his jolly good nature he is a pal to all his athletes. This year at the All College Banquet Jack was presented with a silver cup, the gift of the boys who because of their close contact with him wishetl to show their admiration. His own character is responsible for making the fellows clean, fair, good sports. Rev. Walter Van Saun, B.D., Ph.D. During the course of the school year a new face entered our Hope College faculty circle. Hailing from the wild and woolly East, Dr. Van Saun is a native of Ohio, winning his Ph. D. degree in 1928 from the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Van Saun came during the first semester as the much awaited and expected addition to the physiology and philosophy courses. His precision and methodic accuracy im- mediately struck a responsive chord in the academic hearts of his new studentry. « 25 »

Prof. Garret Van Zyl, Ph.D. Prof. J. Harvey Kleinheksel. Ph.D. Hope College ' s history is filled with inci- dents concerning faculty members who have done more than merely fill their required duties. Often we find an instruc- tor who does a great deal to aid in advancing his school ' s reputation. So it has been with Dr. Van Zyl. Affection- ately known as Doc by his students, this energetic and compact individual has built up and maintained at high standard our science department. Hope students nov.- secure science scholarships almost at will, due to this record of excellence. Among the Hope College faculty ' s younger set we have Professor J. Harvey Kleinheksel, chemistry and zoology in- structor here since 1928. In 1922 he first touched fame as a Hope College graduate, winning a chemistry assistantship to the University of Illinois. He remained in Urbana until he had won his degree of Ph.D. In 1927 he won his Master of Philosophy rating. During his work in the Illinois laboratories. Prof. Kleinheksel was present at the discovery of the new metal, Illinium. Prof, Clari:n(.i- Ki.i-i.s, A.M.

Fkof. Irwin J. Lubbt.rs, A.M. Well kiuiwn for his high quality of work in oi-atory and debating during his petiod of enrollment here as a student, Professor Irwin Lubbers caught up this same fine strain of conduct upon assuming his posi- tion here in the English department. Ever an unusually ambitious man, Prof. Lubbers left Hope College on a limited leave of absence a year ago to take up work ai Northwestern University, Evanston, III. At the time of release of this Milestone he will have earned his Doctor ' s degree in education. He has recently decided to take up work away from Hope. Prof. Roland P. Gray, a.M. A very human and affable professor and author is he, whose conversation we have always found of deep interest. Prof. Gray received his A.B. at Columbia University and his A.M. at the University of Roches- ter, where he later wa ; assist.int professor in the English department. At the Uni- versity of Maine he w.is htad ol llie I ' .ng lish department. Hi- look gi.idii.iK. work at Harvard, ' ,dc, ,nid Oxford. After some time al lilmira and Kenk.i ( olleges Ik t.nne lo Hope. Prof, DkWitt Clinton Spraciii;, A.M. Among the new people who joined the faculty with the opening of the 1929 fall term was Professor Sprague. As it hap- pens with every new instructor. Prof. Sprague gained more than a little fame among the studentry for his personal traits, among them being his willingness to conduct his courses along oral reading lines and his capacity of discoursing upon his wife ' s abilities as a painter of can- vases. It was always noted that his classes semed to have a jolly time, judging from their frequent outbursts of laughter. Prof. Deckaru Ritter, A.M, Ani)ther of Hope College ' s new faculty members this past year was Professor Deckard Ritter, instructor in English. His achievements of the year fall into three groups, his successful work as a teacher, his publication of the Pegasus ' Pony, and his taking unto himself a wife. Tem- porarily the unmarried state of Prof. Ritter causctl ,i subdued flurry among the more pl.iyfid of our (.o-eds, but this un- warrantecl stir soon ceased. ' VC ' ith the com- ing of Christmas, and later of Spring vacation, final proof of his matrimimial intentions were m.uk publii. So estab- lisheil, Ik ' augurs great things on Hope ' s 1. .impus. « 26 »
