The Faculty Hope College was founded on the principle of aiding youth to formulate a Christian philos- ophy of life which would supplement the regu- lar college curricula, thus producing young men and women better fitted to Cope with the varied aspects of life. The responsibility for carrying out this pro- gram has fallen upon the faculty. As the col' lege has grown to the present enrollment of l,l85, the faculty has grown correspondingly. But even with the rapid expansicn of recent times, an outstanding feature of Hope College is the close relationship which exists between teacher and student. This personal, friendly relationship plays an important part in helping the student by showing the interested and help- ful attitude of the faculty. T Due to the rapid changes which civilization and society underwent, life became increas- ingly complex and it became necessary to ex- pand the faculty in different directions to keep pace with changing conditions so that students would be better enabled to live intelligent, happy and well adjusted lives. At present Hope boasts an excellent English department, a fine, growing Music department, a nationally recognized Science departmentg as well as the large and efficient department of Social Sciences, The language department very adequately prepares its students in this field, while the department of Religious Educa- tion plays its important part in campus life by sponsoring the campus Y associations in addi- tion to their regular work in the Bible and Philosophy classes. We have long been proud of our capable Mathematics department, and the expanding department of Speech and Dramatics. The department of Education car- ries out its work of preparing teachers for ele- mentary and secondary schools. The faculty of today truly presents a well- rounded, mature program of education to the student body. Too much cannot be said in ap- preciation of their patience, helpfulness and understanding attitude.
