BOARD OF TRUSTEES A busy year for the administrators of Hope College . . . aiding alumni associa- tion drives . . . conducting special rallies . . . unifying programs and campaigns in the various Reformed Church areas . . . provid- ing for the visit of delegates to the campus . . . the aim: Hope's New Science Building in 1943. The science courses have become in- creasingly popular at Hope through the years, so that now they rank with the re- ligion and education departments in impor- tance. Over 165 of Hope's alumni are in medicine; more than fifty are professors of some branch of the sciences in colleges and universities; and another fifty are engaged in industrial research. But if Hope is to continue to be attractive to young would-be scientists and if she is to maintain her high standards in this field, she must have facilities to keep abreast of twentieth-century advances. Hope's profes- sors are well qualified; she has a well- established reputation for the caliber of the training of her graduates; but her facilities have become inadequate and outmoded. At the present time Hope has 525 stu- dents, a 500 percent increase in enrollment over 1903. But this growth has only been accompanied by the addition of three recita- tion rooms in the Memorial Chapel, an in- crease in classroom space of only seven percent. Hence a new building is necessary to relieve the congestion in other depart- ments as well as in the laboratory courses. The General Synod of the Reformed Church has set aside this and the next year for Hope College. Thus a large scale cam- paign for funds throughout the Church has been launched, the first in which the col- lege has come directly to the membership of the Church for help in an expansion pro- gram. The campaign plans differ in the various sectors of the denomination. Hol- land's quota of $50,000, of which the alumni gave $10,000, has been nearly reached. In the East, where two-thirds of the Reformed families are located, a committee of one hundred men will be engaged in a program of promotion and publicity until September of 1940, after which the drive for contribu- tions will be conducted. In the Mid-west the project is handled by each classis in its own way. The Classes of Wisconsin, East Sioux, West Sioux, and Dakota are conduct- ing an every-family canvass during the summer and early fall. With this machinery effectively in action, it is hoped that Hope's New Science Build- ing will be a reality by 1943. (26 1
