This past year has seen many changes on the American College Campus, and Hope College has been in no way an exception. We have seen our student body grow smaller week by week as approximately one hundred fifty men left their college studies to serve in the armed forces of our country. As members of the staff produc- ing this yearbook, we have endeavored to present these changes within the pages of this volume as they have affected our col- lege life throughout the past academic year. Producing a yearbook under these changing conditions has pre- sented its difficulties and trials—at the end of the first semester it was found necessary to reduce our plans considerably to con- form to such wartime exigencies; the business staff similarly experienced the consequences of these wartime circumstances. However, we have altered our layouts accordingly, and now present to you our revised War Edition of the MILESTONE- we hope you will like it. f THE EDI'FORS

OUR PRESIDENT WYNAND WICHERS Dr. Wynand Withers, who received his A.B. from Hope, his M.A. from the University of Michigan, his Litt.D. from Rutgers, and was made a Knight of the Order of Orange Nassau by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, has been President of Hope College since 1931. After teaching history at Hope for several years. Dr. Wichers left the campus and entered into business. Later he was called back to Hope to serve as Presi- dent of the College. Probably the paramount achievement of Dr. Wichers’ service to the College has been his tireless efforts towards the planning, financing, and construction of the New Science Building which was dedicated last fall. Friends and alumni of Hope College will long look upon the presidency of Dr. Wichers as an outstanding contribu- tion to the success of this institution of higher learning. 8
