It was through his unrelenting efforts that the construc- tion of the stately Hope Memorial Chapel was made possible. Accounting instructor, Bernard J. A rends- horst, held the position of clerk of the draft board. Soon after school started Bernie” was promoted to state auditor of draft books and Daniel J. Zwemer took over his class. The class met at various hours of the day until they became early birds in the spring, and held the distinction of being the only class on the campus to meet at seven o’clock in the morning. The Department of Business Administra- tion gives excellent training to those students who are entering business, and an expert background for those who intend to study law. 12

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 19-13 was a very prosperous year for the senior education students, for none of them, particularly elementary teachers, found difficulty in securing positions. Of the twenty- live students eligible for teachers’ certificates this year, only ten were elementary teachers. Of the fifteen secondary education students, ten were English majors! The department of education reorganized and revamped itself this fall, and emerged in the paradoxical situation of having the juniors taking more education and the seniors less. The seniors received additional credit for their practise teaching. Prof. Winter taught the juniors educational psychology on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, while on Tuesdays and Thursdays they all studied principles of teaching. Practice teachers in the elementary grades this year taught not just one grade, but several, and their teach- ing was spread throughout the whole year. Both secondary students under Mr. Vander Borgh and elementary students under Miss Hawes took the new problems courses, which were closely correlated with their practice teaching.
