BOARD OF TRUSTEES This honored group, the governing body of Hope College, assumes as its responsibility and trust the direction of the policies and interests of our insti- tution. It is an incorporated body consisting of thirty members. Nine of these are elected by the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America. Elec- tions are held in the various Classes of the Particular Synods of Chicago and Iowa to determine the other members of this ruling body. Sixteen of the trus- tees are laymen; there is one woman on the board; and the others include ministers in the Reformed Church in America, and twenty-four Alumni repre- sentatives. The Hope College Board of Trustees visits the campus at two different times during the year. The first meeting of this revered body takes place during the month of April. The second is held in June. But the members are not inactive during the rest of the year. They function through several committees, the most important of which are the Executive, Investment, and Instruction Com- mittees. The aims and high ideals which motivate their love for Hope College may be aptly revealed in the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the loved poet of that friend of Hope College, Dr. Nykerk; Let knowledge grow from more to more; But more of reverence in us dwell, That mind and soul according well May make one musiG as before. But vaster. [22]
