HOPE COLLEGE IS PRESIDED OVER BY WYNAND WICHERS Dr. Wichers has long been associated with Hope College. He was a student on this campus, and holds an A.B. from Hope, and A.M. from the University of Michigan, and a Litt.D. from Rutgers University. He is a Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau, a distinction conferred by the Queen of the Nether- lands. He taught history on the campus for many years, went into business for a time, and was then called back to the college to serve as its president, in 1931. Under Dr. Wichers, the college has expanded in many directions. It has achieved a position on the fully approved list of the American Association of Universities, the highest accrediting distinction 8 awarded colleges and universities. Only two other liberal arts colleges in the state enjoy that rating. The college has added the business administration department and a personnel service. The library staff has been enlarged, and the facilities of the library greatly improved. During a period when many small colleges were forced to close, Hope Col- lege has maintained its financial status largely through Dr. Wichers' efforts. Next fall will see the ultimate materialization of another of his dreams for the school-a separate building to house the science department of which the school is so proud. The new science building has been completed, and will be equipped by next fall when it will be opened for use.
