Physical growth was gradual and slow until the turn of the century brought a building era that gave us Liraves Library, Van Raalte Hall. Voorhees Hall, and Carnegie Gymnasium, More recently has come our beautiful Memorial Chapel for which Dr. Dimnent in his presi- dency was so largely responsible, and our modern, well-equipped Science Building, the pride of Dr. Xlifynand Vifichers, Hopes seventh president. Coupled with the high ambition and enterprise of these men has been the daily purpose, mutual interest and fellowship peculiarly our own here at Hope. Courageous, able leaders, visioned, ambitious builders. and noble. consecrated teachers are .

Most significant of all tributes that may be paid to Hope comes from the lives of Hope men and women all over the world. This tradition of graduates instilled with a desire to serve their fellowmen has been chief among the aims of the institution from the beginning. Learned, envisioned men and women with determination to serve God, country, and Hope in whatever held of life they choose - are her foremost contribution and her great glory! Wfe may speak of these as dark days, but in the light and challenge of the Past. we do not fear dark days. The Past bestows upon the Present the faith that dares to hope- - for a better world, - for an even greater Hope. f Y- 'ny X ..... .., ,X px, '- .,.fi s - ' 4 ' ft- '53 -4:9251 H A I V tgp Ag -il . if-lf' avlk?-1,iX.,f',s 1 Girls Gler: Club -cu
