Hope College - Milestone Yearbook (Holland, MI)

FOREWORD The school year 1939-1940 has been one of advance on all fronts. In point of enrollment, we can boast of the largest registration in our history. Bringing to glad fruition the work of many years, the Association of Ameri- can Universities placed Hope College upon the list of fully approved institu- tions. This, to my mind, was the crown- ing achievement of the year. On the spiritual side, was a noteworthy Week of Prayer conducted by our most prom- inent alumnus, Dr. S. M. Zwemer. The M.I.A.A. Basketball Championship was the climax of our athletic program. In the field of improved relations with our churches, we record a visit to the campus by the Consistorial Union of Grand Rapids, three hundred strong; also the annual visit of 750 young men and women from the Classes of Grand Rapids, Muskegon, and Kalamazoo. A new venture was the Saturday night radio programs over station WOOD. Nor should we forget the beginning of our financial campaign for campus improvements. Interest in it has been aroused in every part of our Reformed Church. We are confident that at least a part of the program can be brought to completion in 1941. Wynand Wichers President
