A Letter From The President As Hope College approaches the one hundredth anniversary of its founding, those men and women who have its welfare on their minds and hearts may ask themselves questions: Has Hope been true to her heritage? How does she stand in the ac- ademic world of today? What does she need to enter her second century with strength and confidence? In an extraordinary way, Hope College has fulfilled the charge placed upon the first President, Dr. Philip Phelps, on the occasion of his inaugural, July 12, 1866. The speaker, Dr. Isaac N. Wyckoff, one of the great leaders of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of America (as it was then known), with almost clairvoyant insight, set some goals for a good Twentieth Century college. He said, in effect: First, Hope College must teach the languages of the world. This is a shrinking world and we must learn to be at home in it. Second, Hope College must teach the sciences. This is an age of science and only those who are expert in the sciences can provide the information and techniques nec- essary for leadership and even for survival. Third, Hope College must teach moral science and train leaders for the Church. Without college-trained leaders, a denomination cannot survive. The present looks both ways — to the past and to the future. In this yearbook the editors have set another MILESTONE along the road. Here you find portrayed the present activities of the students and faculty as they project upon the future the rich heritage of the past. Irwin J. Lubbers President
