The new modernistic music building provides attractive facilities for all musical activities. Completion of Kollen Mali, with room for 300 students, has alleviated the college's shortage of housing for men. Hope’s New Look Within the past decade, Hope's campus has become a scene of almost constant physical change. Since the comple- tion of Durfcc Hall, junior and senior women's dormitory, in 1950, planning for and the actual construction of new buildings has played a dominant role in the Hope scene. Completion this fall of a new Musit Building and Kollen Hall, a men's dormitory, is physical evidence of Hope’s ad- justment under the guidance of the Board of Trustees to a tremendous growth in student population. 9 ■ rS

Trustees The private college employs quite a different form of ex- ternal government than does the large state supported insti- tution. The Reformed Church in America is the chief sup- porting body of Hope College, and governs its program through the Board of Trustees, consisting in its entirety of forty-two members including the president of the college. The board members, headed by President John Dykstra and an Executive Board, are selected from the ranks of clergy- men and laymen in the Reformet! Church, and are the regu- larly constituted corporation under which the college acts. I)r. John A. Dykstra has served as President of the Board of Trustees since 1939.

Deam I'ho general direction of student life academically and socially is the responsibility of three deans. The Academic Dean is charged specifically with the task of supervising the college curriculum and dealing with any problems which may arise in the academic life of the student. The office of the Dean of Students is the central clearing house for all non-academic activities of the Hope student. All rules and regulations governing students on campus arc under Dean Hinga's direct control. In conjunction with the Dean of Women, an attempt is made to solve the numerous practical problems which arise, and give sympathetic advice and guidance. As Dean of the College, William Vandcr Lugt directs the acadcmii activities of the school. Milton Minga occupies the newly created | osition of Dean of Students. Emma Rceverts, Dean of Women, is responsible for the general welfare of all women students. 10
