Heligious Instruction is given by the Faculty in all the Classes. - SiJecial attention is given, during the whole of the Preparatory Course, to the grammars of the Languages studied. For those who' pursue English studies only or who design stopping at the end of the A year, the Faculty provide such additional branches, as seem most expedient and profitable. Those generally make better progress, whose time is fully occupied in the work of the School. In general educational value, it is believed that the above four years Course of Study is worthy of full recommendation, whether for entrance into College, or for a professional training, or for a business life.

In June, 1877, the Department was suspended by the General Synod, but was re-opened in In June, 1885, this Theological School received the corporate name of The Western Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church in America, and was committed to the care of its own Board of Superintendents, and placed on the same footing as the Seminary at New Brunswick, N. J. As yet, however, only two Professors have been provided for, and appointed by the Synod. A

42 rshsashshsashhash:sashhhshhhshsasasasesashshsas^ iscellaiiedus Informatioii. LOCATION. Holland City is a central point on the Chicago and West Michigan Railway, and on the Ohio and Michigan R. R. (to Toledo), ninety miles north of New Buffalo, twenty-five miles south-west of Grand Rapids, and midway between Allegan and Grand Haven. It is therefore most desirably located, having both land- and water communications, and being near the shore of Lake Michigan, with which it is directly connected by Macatawa Bay, itself a beautiful sheet of water. G R O U N D S A N D BUILDINGS. The College Campus lies mostly between Tenth and Twelfth streets, in the center of the City, and contains eighteen acres. It presents a finely varied surface, is well shaded with native trees and is annually improving in beauty and attractiveness. The College Buildings are eight in number. The largest is Van Vleck Hall, mainly devoted to Students rooms, and the Library. It has been decided to build an ample Recitation Hall as soon as the requisite funds can be secured. SCHOOL YEAR. The Scholastic Year, of forty weeks, begins on the third Wednesday in September, and ends with the General Commencement on the fourth Wednesday in June. The Winter and Spring vacations are fixed by the General Faculty. (See the Calendar.) COURSE OF STUDY. Most of the students seek what is called a liberal or classical education. A partial or elective course is offered to all who so desire, and facilities are furnished through the regular instruc-

43 tors, but a partial Course entitles only to a certificate and not to a diploma. German and French, or Drawing and Painting, can be studied at any time, as also the branches generally called scientific ; fitting the students for Post-graduate courses in a Uni-, versity. In 1878 the Institution was opened to women. At once several availed themselves of the privilege, and their number has been steadily increasing. They enter the regular classes, and attend the same lectures and recitations as the young men. Vocal Music is provided, and no charge is made for this. Lessons in Instrumental Music can be secured at the expense of the pupil. EXAMINATIONS. The Yearly Examinations, before the Council or its Committee, bepin on the third Wednesday in June. At other times. Special examinations maybe held, and passed upon by the respective Faculties, subject to the approval of Council or to a re-examination, if so desired.. The Examinations are oral or in writing, as seems best to each professor. RELIGIOUS SERVICES., The exercises of each day begin with prayer in the College Chapel, at 8 o clock, a.m. On the Sabbath, every student is expected to worship regularly with one of the churches in the city or vicinity, unless excused by the President. Religious Instruction is given in all the classes regularly, and now, like the other studies, is in charge of the Faculty. Although Hope College is denominational, and is under the patronage and support of the Reformed Church in America, yet, by the law of its incorporation, it can have no religious test. The doors are open, and welcome is given to all who submit to its scholastic regulations. As a Christian school, however, it inculcates gospel truths, and demands a consistent moral character and deportment. LIBRARY, ETC.. A library of about 6,500 volumes, and a Beading Boom, are free for the use of the students. Books and papers are constantly being added. Improved accommodations have recently been provided. 4. ^^HSHSHSH5H5H5H5aSH53L5HSH5H5HSH5HSHSHSaSH5HHaHi

They are gradually being made larger and more complete. It is to be hoped that Maps, Charts, Instruments, and Specimens of Natural History, as well as books, will be donated by the graduates and friends of the Institution. SOCIETIES. - The Literary Societies, viz., the Meliphon and the Fraternal, have now been maintained for years, and offer decided advantages to their^respective members, and materially aid in the attainment of that culture, which it is the object of this school to promote. In 1886, a new literary society, called the Ulfilus Club, was organized by Prof. Doesburg. The object of this club is to secure for its members greater proficiency in the use of the Holland language. ' The Y. M. C. A., a society of from seventy to eighty paembers, has carried on its work with much interest and activity., SUNDRiES. Connected with the Institution, a religious weekly is published, called De Hope. It is the organ of the College, and was established in In 1887, a monthly, called The Anchor, was estal^lished by the students, and is meeting with gratifying success. The A Class has always maintained a periodical, called Excelsiora. It is bound, year by year, and placed in the Library. The Oratorical Exercises of. the Grammar School, on the final Monday of the College year, are in lieu of a Commencement in that Department. The occasion is one of much interest to the public.,, Two prizes, called 37ie George Birkhoff, Jr., Prizes,' have been established. One is for the Sophomore Class, in English Literature, and the other for the Freshman Class, ic Dutch Literature..At the last Commencement they were awarded, by the Committees, as follows: For best Essay in -English, Herbert G. Keppel; For best Essay in Dutch, Gilbert G. Haan. Other prizes will soon follow as a stimulus to labor in other branches of study. [n A Course of Lectures is of almost yearly occurrence, usually at [ the invitation of one of the societies, and with the approval and ril financial aid of the Executive Committee. pj Si

45 1 HESasaSHSHHHSaSHSHHaSHSHSHSHEHSHHHSHSHSHSHSHasS] 43 CATALOGUE OF HOPE COLLEGE. U] The moral, social, and literary advantages of Holland are comparatively good. EXPENSES. Holland is surrounded by a rich agricultural region, and the cost of living iscomparatively cheap. Good board may he had, in families of the city, for from two to three dollars per week; and WITHOUT FURNISHED ROOMS at Corresponding rates. There are seventeen rooms in Van Vleck Hall, in the selection of which students for the ministry have the preference. These are furnished in part, and bear a charge of five dollars a year. As yet, no tuition fees have been charged, but every student must pay to the Treasurer, in advance, an i n c i d e n t a l fee of five dollars per term. The graduation fee is five dollars, and the cost of the diploma. No other charges are made. For books, clothing, washing, fuel, lights, travel, etc., those interested can best make the estimates. The e n t i r e expense need not exceed $200 per annum. The fee of the students in the special Normal Classes is five dollars for the session. Those who enter the College, for a regular Normal Course, are charged ten dollars, in advance for each semester or half-year. The Boarding Houses in the Oity are to be approved by the Faculty, and to be subject to such regulations, as are usual in such cases. DISCIPLINE. The Bides of Order are few and simple. In general, if the students do not improve their time and opportunities, or do not conduct themselves in a respectful and orderly manner, their connection with the Institution will be suspended. The students are required to be present, promptly, on the first day of each and every term. The recitations will begin the next morning. A record iskept of the scholastic standing of each student, and a copy of the same is sent to the parent or guardian; if the average standing, in any term, does not exceed 70, on a basis of 100,he may be dropped from his class. Term fees and room rent are to^ be paid strictly in advance, and if not so paid, or within one month, the student, neglecting, forfeits his right to continue in the Institution.

46 r^sahasashsashsashshsashshshsashhssssssesashhhh^ W CATALOGUE OF HOPE COLLEGE. JfS [" The object of the Faculty is to develop a higher moral as well as intellectual culture and character. If they find, after due probation and inquiry, that the influence of a student is had and injurious to others, they claim the right to demand his withdrawal. Parents are requested not to ask or expect their children, in this School, to come home during term time, if itcan be avoided. It seriously interferes with proper habits of study, and by our rules, none are to be absent from the Institution, without permission of the President. A copy of the regulations of the College is given to each student, at the time of his or her matriculation. REMARKS. The Library is rapidly increasing in the number of volumes and in value, and a Library building isone of our pressing necessities. With spacious, fire-proof rooms, the collection would be safe and serviceable. The same building could, for the present, be used as a museum, or Cabinet of Natural History. Who will supply this want? The funds of the Institution are sadly insufilcient. Rev. Jas. F. Zwemer has accepted the agency, in the West, for raising $50,000 for the College, and $30,000 for tlie Tlieological Seminary. Rev. Daniel Van Pelt has accepted the agency for the East. Both agents are in the field, and earnestly laboring for success, having the endorsement of the General Synod. And may the Legacies of the pious build up this School of the Church, just as they have bestowed so many thousands on Yale, Princeton, Union, etc., making them what they are, for onr country and the world..
