Board of Trustees The Board ot Trustees ot Hope College is the representative body from the Reformed Church to which the College belongs. lt consists of laywomen, lay- men, and ministers from various parts ot the country and it constitutes the final authority of Hope. The members meet twice a year to weigh, discuss, and decide on questions ot a spiritual and material value that have arisen throughout the year. At the last meeting of the Board ot Trustees, the members proposed a build- ing program calling lor immediate construction of two buildings and the erect- ing of two more at an early date. Two resolutions dealing with the building program were approved. The first authorized four major buildings to be built as soon as possible and the second, that a women's dormitory and a central heating plant be constructed immediately. The finances for the expansion program will be met with Hope's share in the Reformed Church's United Ad- vance Drive. The other two buildings discussed by the Board ot Trustees were a library and a gymnasium, although not included in the immediate program, the board considered them vital to meet the increased growth ot the student body. The Board has formulated a definite Christian educational policy for the college, and its chiet responsibility is to see that this statement of principles is put into practice. 1 i A ff- ! 11-V' l r '7 V .Less -1 1 . , - i - ----'A-fx ...

Our President DR. ERWIN I. LUBBERS Dr. lrwin I. Lubbers came to Hope College as president in l945. Prior to his coming, he had served as president of Central College in Pella, Iowa. f News that Dr. Lubbers had been seriously inlured in an automobile accident during the Christmas holidays, carre as a shock to many of the student body. During his absence, the Board of Trustees appointed Dean Iohn Hollen- bach, Dean ot Women Emma Reeverts, and Dean of Men Milton Hinga, to act in the ca- pacity of an executive committee. Dr, Lubbers returned to his duties on March l, and was officially welcomed back at a spe- cial assembly on March 4. On this occasion he emphasized the fact that his commission was more significant than ever before, and that he returned with renewed and increased zeal. So, Dr. Lubbers, genial and understanding, carries out his duties as executive head of our college, always showing a keen and deep in- terest in the problems and activities of our student body. Students and faculty thank God that he was returned to us here, and was able to continue his work. .,q.', , eff . ,
