Professor John H. Kleinheksel

O n S u n d a y evening, J u n e 11th, 1916, P r o f e s s o r J o h n H . Kleinheksel died at his h o m e on T w e l f t h S t ree t in the City of Hol land , a f t e r a l inger ing illness, caused by chronic pleurisy and hea r t t rouble.

O w i n g to the c o m m a n d i n g posit ion which he had held in the church and society and the wor ld of educat ion and business, his dea th caused the deepest so r row and spread the greates t gloom over the City and the Ins t i tu t ion , both of which he loved so well and served so fa i th fu l ly .

H e was in the very p r ime of life, hav ing been born in Overisel , Allegan County , Michigan , on M a r c h 3, 1854, f r o m a s tu rdy stock of Hol l and pio-neers , and in the mids t of an ever -widening sphere of u s e f u l activities. A f t e r hav ing a t t ended and t augh t school in his na t ive town, he became a s tudent at H o p e College and g radua t ed in 1878, wi th high honors , due to his keen, philosophic mind and his propens i ty fo r work .

H e w a s disposed to enter the profess ion of L a w , f o r which he seemed to have every qualif ication, but so grea t was the demand of his A l m a Mate r for his services and so g rea t was his loyal devotion to her , tha t he yielded his personal p r e f e r ences and gave himself unrese rved ly and unselfishly to the cause of educat ion at Hope , w h e r e f o r th i r ty-e ight 3'ears, as ins t ruc tor and p ro fes so r of Mathemat ics , and f o r twen ty - th ree years , as Vice -Pres iden t , he lived and labored wi th ever- increas ing power and prest ige.

In A u g u s t , 1884, he w a s m a r r i e d to A n n a S. V a n Raal te , the younges t daugh t e r of the F o u n d e r of the Hol land "Co lony" in Michigan. T h i s union w a s an idealty happy one, and th ree sons, Pau l , F r a n k De Moen, and Lewis J . and one daugh te r . Ve ra , blessed the union. Vera , the only daugh te r , died on Feb-r u a r y 2nd, 1910, and the mothe r fo l lowed her daugh te r on F e b r u a r y 22nd, 1914.

T h e H o m e

P r o f e s s o r Kleinheksel was a home bui lder and a home lover. Unsel f ish devo-tion, a rden t love, genuine sympathy , and pe r f ec t peace were the a tmosphere of his home. F r i e n d s and guests w e r e a lways welcome and loved the w a r m greet -ing and the good cheer wi th which they were received in this happy home, wi th its spiri t of genuine cul ture and ref inement . T h e Amer i can home is the choicest spot on all this ear th , and his was the ideal A m e r i c a n home, wi th the al tar , the music , the l ibrary, the ar t , and the a l l -pervading sunlight of love.

T h e E d u c a t o r

E v e r y s tudent w h o was ever in his c lassroom, will gladly tes t i fy to the wel l -earned reputa t ion and f a m e of P r o f e s s o r Kleinheksel as a teacher . W h i l e he was a mas te r of his sub jec t and w a s so recognized in the state, the great book f r o m which his scholars learned m o s t w a s the book of his own consistent l ife. H i s un ique personal i ty , his lo f ty ideals, his stainless charac ter , his pur i ty , his heroic fa i th , his daunt less courage, his b road sympathies , his s t rong con-victions, his open-mindedness , his persis tence, his keen humor , his business sagacity, his pa t r io t i sm, his t r u e Amer ican i sm, and his deep and changeless love f o r all his s tudents entered into their very l ife-blood, bone, m a r r o w and sinew, and gave them s t rength and courage f o r l i fe ' s batt les. H i s v i r tues live on in them. H e is immorta l on ear th as well as in heaven.

T h e efficiency of a teacher is measu red not only by the degrees he has ob-tained, or by the bri l l iancy of his intellect, but also by the power of his person-ality and the dynamic fo rce of his charac te r . In those r a re qualities, our f r i e n d excelled.

T h e C i t i z e n

N o man lives to himself alone. T h e fu l l -orbed l ife reaches out and comes into contact wi th every phase of h u m a n l i fe and thought and lends a helping h a n d to all the grea t moral , spiri tual , economic, and civic fo rces tha t a re s t rug-gling to up l i f t mank ind . P r o f e s s o r Kleinheksel was not a recluse. H e felt the keenest interest in the sweep of nat ional and wor ld events and kept in closest touch with them. H e was a p ioneer in the t emperance movement , and loved to batt le f o r all grea t r e f o r m s . T h e caucus, the p r imary , the political gather ing, and the polls on election day, were never neglected. T h e Hol l and Chamber of Commerce o f t e n listened to his w o r d s of advice and he was a f avor i t e a t f a r m e r s ' ga ther ings . H e was financially interested in m a n y of Ho l l and ' s most substant ial business ins t i tu t ions and was a d i rec tor of one of her banks.

T h e F r i e n d

T o his s tudents , as we have seen, P r o f e s s o r Kleinheksel w a s m o r e than a t e a c h e r ; he was a guide, pa t ron , and f r i end . T o his associates, he was more than a pleasing c o m p a n i o n ; he was their f r i end . T o his business acquaintances , he was m o r e than a sharer in their d iv idends ; he en tered into their lives, he was their f r i end . F r i endsh ip to h im was sacred and he was , t he re fo re , a lways 103'al. N o gold ever r a n g t rue r than did his f r i endsh ip . T r u e f r i endsh ip is a lways unselfish and sincere, and his was of the Dav id and J o n a t h a n type. Broken f r i endsh ips he never knew. H i s loyal hear t ever beat the fas te r when success and f o r t u n e smiled upon his f r i ends . H o w well the w o r d s "grea t h e a r t " suit h im.

" H i s l i fe was gentle, and the elements

So mixed in h im tha t n a t u r e might s tand u p

A n d say to all the wor ld , " T h i s w a s a m a n . "

T h e C h r i s t i a n

Carlyle well said that the grea t th ing about any man is his religion. Al-though P r o f e s s o r Kleinheksel had a deep, philosophic and a keen, analyt ic mind, much given to close reasoning and one which requi red clear proof and accura te demons t ra t ion to produce conviction, such a mind as is o f t e n f o u n d in the skep-tic, yet he embraced the Chr is t ian ' s fa i th wi th his deepest convictions and with-out the shadow of a doubt . I n the home, in society, in the Sunday-school as teacher and super in tendent , in the church as elder, yes, wherever he went , he lived and talked a joyous Chr is t ian l ife. H e bade farewel l to his loved ones, not only with the hope, but with the ful lest assurance , that he would meet them again. H e was a sincere, a happy Chris t ian . In this fa i th he lived, loved, and finally fell asleep.

" T h o u g h 'neath the clouds of the valley

F o r m s that we cherish m a y sleep;

God has commanded his angels

W a t c h o 'er our loved ones to keep.

Only the leaves of the vine t ree

W i t h e r and languish and d i e ;

God ha th t ransp lan ted its b ranches .

Ga rne red its f r u i t s in the sky."

The Junior Glass

In the year 1914, a spirit brooded over the illimitable expanse of civilization.

Eve rybody felt the intensi ty of its presence and m a n y sensed the p r o f u n d i t y of

the enigma which its presence suggested. But f ew heard the spiri t 's call and

f ewer still responded to he r call. But here and there, some soul heeding the

m a n d a t e of Na tu re , t u rned f r o m his n a r r o w sphere and wended his way to a

pleasant vista in an obscure habi tat ion. Mythical and fa i ry- l ike as this account

may seem—such was the impulse which d rew the Class of '18 to H o p e College.

T h r u o u t her existence, this class has ever been keenly a w a r e of the enigma

of the spiri t of H o p e and has a t t empted to fulfi l he r man i f e s t dest iny. Slowly

and surely she is comprehend ing the immensi ty and the grav i ty of her task and

mission. She has learned the creed of the s p i r i t — H o p e — a d v a n c e and progress

— f o r t i t u d e and manfu lnes s—scho la r sh ip and cu l tu re—an idea and an ideal.

W e began our career as most o ther classes do, by generously soaking the

Sophomores in the O t t a w a r iver , but ever a f t e r that day called the Black r iver

by the local folk. W e produced a varsi ty deba t e r ; our neophyte o ra to r s did well in the local

contests. W e met all comers in football , basketball , and t rack, and remained

inter-class champions of the cour t game for the year . O u r house par t ies were

the most fest ive on the campus , while our "weinie roas t s " surpassed all in

gayety. A t the opening of the Sophomore year , we, as most all other classes do,

accepted the invitat ion of the class of '19 to come across the r iver , but only

a f t e r the space of an hour and twenty minutes of "Bul ldog- l ike" resistance. \ \ e

main ta ined our debat ing s t andard , took second in the local " D r y contest, and

carr ied off first honors in the Raven . W e also produced the best long dis tance

runne r our school has ever known . Th i s year , gentle reader , our record is t ru ly great . W e have produced

one-half of the vars i ty deba te r s ; the Sta te Peace and Prohib i t ion o ra to rs were

f r o m our number , as were also two s tars on the vars i ty 5 ; the t rack captaincy

and the baseball managemen t is ours. But chiefes t of all, we are issuing THE

MILESTONE, and are thereby saving it f r o m a relapse into a state of eternal

oblivion. A n d now we hope and believe that you who read this record will not think

us vainglor ious in the citation of our deeds, but ra ther consider that we h a \ e

herein merely set d o w n the simple facts , so that you may gain an inkling of the

au tobiographv of the au thors of this work . W e close this d issei ta t ion wi th

malice t owards none but with best wishes to you all f r o m the sponsors of T H E

Freshman Glass

H o p e ' s year of 1916 burs t into radiance , sparkled, reflected its brill iancy

into f a r regions, and then vanished. T h e wor ld was m u t e wi th awe and admi ra -

tion, then sighed, shook its head, and bewailed the pass ing of the Semi-Centennial

and wi th it the glory of the College. But " F a t h e r T i m e " chuckled, and with a

twinkle in his eye tu rned the nex t year ' s page—and displayed the Class of 1920,

the class which ushered in the new era of fift)' years . T h e wor ld gasped, sat

up, and rubbed its eyes. " A h e m ! " An apology mus t certainly be made. Ta lk

about the vanished glory of the college, this looks like the real thing. Con-

gra tu la t ions ! " F a t h e r T i m e " and "Old W o r l d " laughed delightedly, and eagerly

leaned f o r w a r d to watch the career of the Class of 1920.

W i t h such a contagious enthus iasm did this noble class enter the doors of

Hope , that the sleeping nat ives wi thin were roused f r o m their s lumber to open

admira t ion . " A r e these F r e s h m e n ? " they exc la imed ; " these s t rong-minded and

inte l lectual-appear ing youths and ma idens? T h e y look more like Seniors . " A n d

they immediately proceeded to ga ther these newcomers into their most elite circles.

Bu t the lowest class of the natives, the aborigines, p roved envious and mal ignant

and demanded re t r ibut ion in the f o r m of a fight. H o w these revengefu l ones (as

the evil ever t u r n cowardly in the light of the good) l e f t the battlefield ere the

fight was half completed, poster i ty will never t i re of recount ing . Bu t the flut-

te r of the wings of Peace soon soothed all ang ry breasts , and the daily his tory

of the F r e s h m e n class cont inued to c rown the records of their A lma Mate r .

W i t h w h a t wisdom did they conduct their meetings, elect their leaders, and

retain that levelness of head and f r iendl iness of disposition which have made

them so p o p u l a r ! T h e Facu l ty has smiled m o r e broadly and more f requen t ly

because of their c lassroom br i l l iancy; the College " f a n s " have g rown actually

optimist ic because of their basketball abi l i ty; but the whole College went m a d

with joy when one of their number-—and a suf f rage t te at t h a t — w o n Sta te

honor s in ora tory . H a s there been any field of endeavor into which this aston-

ishing class has not entered, and " s t a r r e d " ? T h o u g h o f t e n at tacked f r o m am-

bush by the still uncivilized aborigines, they have su rmoun ted all difficulties,

and now, at the close of their first year , still possess that equanimity of spirit

and that s teadfas tness of purpose which make them unique, and which herald

the t ime of greenless and fear less F r e s h m e n .

By its meet ings held every F r i d a y evening d u r i n g the school year , it a ims

to develop within the gir ls a deeper interest in one ano ther and in h u m a n i t y in

a pa r t of herself and make the influence of Delphi fel t wherever she goes.

T h e K n i g h t s of H o p e is our i n f an t society. T h e need of ano ther l i terary

f r a t e r n i t y had been felt on the campus f o r m a n y years , because of the fac t tha t

the societies a l ready exis t ing could not accommoda te the fas t g rowing n u m b e r

of male s tudents that come to H o p e College. Consequent ly , m a n y college men

were wi thou t a society home. Hence , T h e K n i g h t s of Hope . T h e w o r k tha t

has been accomplished, as well as the benefits der ived in the up l i f t of its mem-

be but a shor t t ime b e f o r e the i r society will take its place on an equal basis wi th

Pleiade

In the fall of 1916 the men who were taking the course in F r ench D r a m a

organized a society k n o w n as the Pleiade. Th i s society was not a l i terary one,

but one that had fo r its purpose "good fe l lowship ." A s the te rm advanced,

men f r o m the other depa r tmen t s were included and the original membersh ip

of seven was increased to thir teen.

So s trongly was the idea of good fel lowship carr ied out that in a single term

the society became known as the "peppiest bunch on the c a m p u s , ' and the men-

tion of the w o r d Pleiade mean t a good t ime fo r all concerned. T h e r e were many

" f e e d s " given and a couple of "all night sessions" were indulged in by the mem-

bers. Never be fo re has such an a l l -around bunch existed on the campus , f o r

scholars, athletes, and music ians a re to be found among the members . Th i s

organizat ion will undoubtedly play a still grea ter par t in the college l i fe of Hope

in the coming year , and will help the people of the city to realize that they have

a college in the town.

T h e Y o u n g Men ' s Chr is t ian Associa t ion of H o p e College is dist inctly an every-man ' s associat ion, w h e r e every m a n knows that he is welcome.

M. C. A.

As an official organizat ion, the associat ion is managed by a cabinet composed of a pres ident , vice-president , secre tary , and t r easure r , and eight commit tee chai r -men. Th i s cabinet meets regular ly every week to discuss needs and plans fo r w o r k and to p r ay fo r the deepening of their own spir i tual lives so that they may minis ter to the spir i tual needs of others . The i r task is not an easy one, but theirs is the r e w a r d of a fu l le r Chr is t ian exper ience and a lof t ie r vision of service.

T o the m a n j u s t en ter ing college, the Y. M. C. A. handshake is the channel th rough which the hea r t of m a n meets on common foot ing, while the tie of Chr is t ian love binds them in a f r i endsh ip which is e ternal . T o the man about to leave college, this handshake is the God-speed of f r i ends who fol low as ne passes out into wider service. T h e Y . M. C.

The "Dad" Elliott Campaign

If there be but one m a n in the count ry today who can r ight ly be called the

Billy S u n d a y of A m e r i c a n colleges, tha t m a n is A. J . Ell iott , f ami l ia r ly named

" D a d . " H e is the celebrated T rave l i ng Sec re ta ry of the In te rna t iona l Y. M .

C. A., but to every Hopei te , he is j u s t plain " D a d . "

F o r some years past , the s tudents who had been to L a k e Geneva and had

r e tu rned wi th deeper consecra t ion and m o r e de te rmined purpose to live bet ter

Chr i s t i an lives, invar iably spoke of the g r a t i f y i n g influence which " D a d " ex-

erted' upon them to this end. Lit t le wonder , then, that we eagerly awai ted

the day w h e n this m a n of God should actual ly come to our own campus and

we should all be pr ivi leged to hea r h im. B e f o r e " D a d ' s " coming, g roup p raye r -

meet ings in the d i f fe ren t fe l lows ' rooms had p r e p a r e d the soil, and a splendid

ha rves t fo r the K i n g d o m was assured .

O n S u n d a y morn ing , Nov . 26, " D a d " h a d his first meet ing, which w a s fol-

lowed by five others , and reached a c l imax w h e n he spoke on " Q u i t t e r s . " T h e

fo l lowing W e d n e s d a y morn ing , we had a fa rewel l mee t ing in the gymnas ium,

and a mos t impress ive mee t ing it was .

Resu l t s ? Yes, we believe tha t the Heaven ly F a t h e r ' s Book of L i f e shows

that we m a d e g rea t gains in that campaign t o w a r d the goal set in September ,

name ly—Jesus Chris t , K i n g of the campus and every m a n a fo l lower of H i m .

A mos t impress ive scene was tha t of " D a d ' s " depa r tu re . A large delegation

of s tudents and facul ty m e m b e r s escorted h im to the t ra in , and mids t hand -

shakes, cheers , and songs, we saw h im off. Sure ly we missed h im on the cam-

pus, f o r in those f e w days of the campaign , " D a d " had w o n a place in the hea r t

of each of u s ; he h a d been to us like a big bro ther , yea ,—a f a the r , our own

" D a d . "

In a f t e r l ife, w h e n our chi ldren will ask us to expla in the Greek second

aor is t or the proper i spomenon,—poss ib ly and qui te probably our memor ies will

fa i l u s ; bu t if on our s ixt ieth or sevent ieth b i r thday we should be asked to de-

fine a "qu i t t e r , " or explain how a young lover handles the cor respondence of

his sweethear t , t hen m e m o r y will span the decades and recall how " D a d " told

us of those things away back in that campaign at Hope .

T h o u g h he be miles a w a y f r o m us now, we still feel the gr ip of that hea r ty

h a n d s h a k e ; we can see the winning, ear - to-ear smi le ; we feel his influence in

our daily devo t ions ; and possibly wi th in a year or two, we shall have ano ther

visit f r o m " D a d " and again be led f r o m the valley to the moun ta in top, to see

once more the beauty and the g r a n d e u r of a closer personal fe l lowship wi th

our L o r d and Saviour , J e sus Chris t .

The Student Volunteer Band

" S h e ' s a l ive!" Th i s express ion has been applied to var ious organiza t ions

on the campus , and yet none has a bet ter claim to it than has the S tuden t Vol-

un teer Band . If g rowth be an evidence of life, then here is l i fe—rich , ex-

uberan t , overf lowing. A f t e r g radua t ion last June , only five m e m b e r s were l e f t

in the Band , but in seven m o n t h s this n u m b e r has increased to twenty-e ight .

Never be fo re in the h is tory of H o p e College has there been so large a num-

ber of s tudents looking f o r w a r d to fore ign miss ionary service as there is this

year . A n d our local Band is the tie tha t b inds those who have fo rma l ly de-

clared themselves as Vo lun tee r s fo r the fore ign field.

Mis s iona ry en thus iasm has a lways r u n high at Hope . W e point wi th pr ide

to a m a p of the wor ld , and indicate w h e r e H o p e g radua t e s a re ca r ry ing the

light of the gospel to the lands in hea then darkness . China, J a p a n , Arabia ,

India , Egypt—al l have felt the beneficent influence of our own dear Hope . H o w

w e love to c o n j u r e up the n a m e s of Ot te , Zwemer , Peeke , Ol tmans , Rot t -

schaefe r , W a r n h u i s , and a host of o thers , messengers of Hope , heroes in the

conquest that shall ere long, we t rus t , make Jesus Chris t K i n g of kings and

L o r d of lords th rough all the ear th . A n d in the local Band there a re those of

like ser ious purpose , h a r d at work in the t r a in ing camps, p repa r ing to s t rengthen

the main a r m y and to fill the broken ranks .

Th i s year has been an unusua l one for the Volun tee r Band in three w a y s ;

F i r s t of all, we have had the good f o r t u n e of hea r ing some splendid mission-

aries, w h o came to us wi th bu rn ing messages f r o m the f r o n t . A m o n g these

were P a u l H a r r i s o n of Arab ia , D r . S t r ick of China, Dr . Chamber la in of the

R e f o r m e d Boa rd of Fo re ign Missions, and Dr . Rober t E . Speer of the P resby-

te r ian Board . Then, too, the second Quad renn i a l Con fe r ence of the S tuden t

Volun tee r M o v e m e n t of the colleges of Michigan was held a t A n n A r b o r , and

sixteen Hopei tes a t tended . T h i r d , the miss ionary en thus iasm genera ted by the

B a n d has been put to good effect in the es tabl ishment of H o p e H i g h School

in Madanapel le , India , whose pr incipal is being suppor ted by the s tudents of

H o p e College. M o r e than seven h u n d r e d fifty dol lars has been raised this year

f o r fo re ign missions.

T h e Volun tee r Band at H o p e is ju s t coming to its own, and in the years

to come will play a m u c h la rger pa r t in s tuden t activities. W e are t h a n k f u l

f o r the Band , and the S tuden t Vo lun tee r s alone can fu l ly realize wha t it means

to those whose a ims and ambit ions a re w r a p p e d up in fore ign miss ionary serv-

ice to be thus uni ted into a local Band and to be a pa r t of that g rea t S tuden t

Volun tee r Movemen t which never thinks in t e rms of race, color, or nat ional

boundary , but s tr ives only fo r the evangelizat ion of the whole wor ld , f o r the

es tabl ishment of His K i n g d o m in all the ear th .

Missionary Campaign

H o p e College has an exceptional

miss ionary record , especially in the

number of miss ionar ies she has con-

t r ibuted to the Or ien t . In 1910, Dr .

J o h n R. Mot t published a s ta tement

to the effect that in propor t ion to he r

enrol lment , H o p e College had given

m o r e miss ionar ies to the wor ld than

any other college in the count ry . Al-

though f r o m year to year the college

is g rowing and ex tending her depar t -

ments , the spirit of interest in mis-

sions is not waning . D u e largely to

the evangelistic campaign of the week

of p rayer , the membersh ip in the Stu-

dent Volun tee r Band has sp rung f r o m

six to th i r ty s tudents .

T h e year 1916-17 m a r k s a new era

in the his tory of the college fo r mis-

s ionary activity. T h e Y . M . C. A.

and Y . W . C. A. organizat ions have

ra ised f o u r h u n d r e d dollars t oward

domest ic interests . But it is on the

al tar of fo re ign miss ionary enterpr i se that the coals of devotion and sacrifice

have glowed most bril l iantly. Th i s year the s tudents and Facu l ty of H o p e

College have assumed the suppor t of J o h n D. Muyskens , 14, of H o p e High

School at Madanapal le , India . F o r the ra is ing of this f u n d , the S tudent A ol-

un tee rs launched a big miss ionary campaign. T h e principal f ea tu r e of the cam-

paign was a large mass meet ing, and the pr incipal f ea tu r e of the mass meet ing

was an address by Dr . W i l b u r I. Chamber la in , Secre ta ry of Fore ign Missions,

R. C. A. Speak ing f r o m a personal and in t imate knowledge. Dr . Chamber la in

graphical ly p ic tured the work that Hope ' s men are doing on the fore ign field.

H e reached the c l imax of his appeal w h e n he said that the Fore ign Miss. Board

R. C. A., would rechr is ten the Madanapa l l e H igh School as H o p e H i g h School,

p rov ided H o p e College would assume the suppor t of the principal . W i t h i n fif-

Michigan Oratorical League

W e r e we to look back over a year replete with big under tak ings in athletic, scholastic, and religious lines, and abounding in the things which make for the glory of "Old H o p e , " we can hard ly help but feel tha t the h igh-water m a r k was reached when we enter ta ined the Michigan Ora tor ica l League and scored a dou-ble t r i umph fo r the O r a n g e and Blue.

I t was not wi thout its d ramat ic possibilities that at the apex of her orator ical fame, wi th Ste inenger ' s nat ional victory a ve rdan t bud in our memory , H o p e College, herse l f , should be hostess to one of the finest ga ther ings of o ra to r s the Sta te has thus f a r seen. I t is only once in eight years that H o p e has the oppor-tuni ty to enter ta in the Michigan Ora tor ica l League. A n d it is possibly only once in a l i fe- t ime that that oppor tun i ty fo l lows two consecutive state victories and a nat ional victory the year p rev ious ! Combine wi th this a possibility of winning both the men ' s and women ' s contests on the home floor, and you have all the f ac to r s which made the ga ther ing one of the most memorab le in the his tory of the college. A n d as such, H o p e made the most of it.

Appropr ia te ly decorated, on the second of March , 1917, wi th flags and bunt-ing, pennants and seals, in fu l l gala a r ray , Carnegie Hal l presented a splendid bat t le -ground fo r the s i lver- tongued w a r r i o r s of the State, h i r s t to engage the a t tent ion of the scorer was the ladies ' contest in the a fe rnoon . ^ A n d it was a fine contest f r o m s tar t to finish. A s hostess, it was H o p e s privilege to speak first. Open ing fire wi th her splendid ora t ion. Diplomacy a Secret C r a f t 01 an Open A r t ? " Miss M a r y Geegh set a s t anda rd of excellence which was ha rd to su rpass and which not a f e w " H o p e - f u l l ones thought could not be ex-celled. But the o ra to r s ba t te red at her m a r k in such a master ly manne r as to t h r o w a cloud of doubt over the ul t imate outcome of the f r ay . They fol lowed in order , each speaker hold ing the audience tense beneath her capt ivat ing qual-ities of suavity, fo rce fu lness , and her bu rn ing conviction that she had a vital message to present to the people. T h e decision of the three judges was de-f e r r ed unti l the end of the evening 's p e r f o r m a n c e .

T h e record of the day would not be complete did we not here tu rn f r o m the strictly forens ic and record the wholly enjoyable reception to the visit ing delegates given by the Facu l ty and Senior Class at \ oorhees Hal l . I h e meet-ing of new f r iends , the music of the Ukelele orches t ra , and the very welcome

r e f r e s h m e n t s combined to make it a most pleasant occasion. T h e evening contest came as a g rand cl imax to the day 's activities. Packed

to the doors with an audience intently interested in the outcome of the mo-mentous s t ruggle fo r state orator ical supremacy, the " g y m " presented a spec-tacle which could not but inspire every person present with the bigness of the occasion. E n t h u s i a s m ran high. College songs and yells, led by our erhcient leader Jay Dosker , the music of two bands, and the d ramat ic appearance ot the "Peer less German F i f e and D r u m Corps , " held all the audience at the highest pitch of exci tement and expecta t ion fo r over an hour . A n d finally the contest

itself began. I rwin Lubbers , Hope ' s protagonis t , began the f r a y with his master ly ora-

tion, "Amer i ca ' s Declara t ion of In te rdependence ." W i t h an earnest , spirited delivery and a clear-cut appeal, I rw in brought home to his heare r s his wor ld-embrac ing message of universal peace. T h e o ra to rs who followed were un-doubtedly s t rong—Pel lowe of Albion, being a f o r m e r rival of I rwin ' s m the Adr i an Prohibi t ion meet. A n d yet it was with a feel ing of assured confidence that H o p e awaited the d ramat ic c l imax of the day 's p e r f o r m a n c e in the read ing of the judges ' decision for the two contests by M r . Davies of A l m a .

Bu t H o p e ' s ora tor ica l r eco rd would not be complete were it to include only he r p e r f o r m a n c e in the Mich igan Ora to r i ca l League . I t is g r a t i f y i n g to record tha t no

Class footbal l , besides br inging out class spirit , has created an insistent de-

In past years it has been said that t rack work at H o p e was in a rut , but ,

due to the w a r scare, perhaps , interest in t rack has increased and the prospects

T o some comes the call of the basketbal l c o u r t ; to o thers the call of the

ma id alike, f r o m cour t and boulevard comes the call of tennis.

E a r l y in the morning , we see them coming to court , and there is a lways a

racke t a f t e r the ball. W e hear them calling "f i f teen- love ," even " thi r ty- love,"

yes, " fo r ty - love , " fo r all love this de l igh t fu l game. I t 's a "game set" that plays

this g a m e ; a "deuce of a game, ' this love game.

T e n n i s is being put on a par wi th other branches of athletics. Las t spring,

I t was organized late in the season, so no games were played be fo re the Chr is t -

mas vacat ion. Shor t ly a f t e r the hol idays the facu l ty approved of the schedule

as p lanned, and the t eam became an impor tan t f ac to r in the activit ies of the

P r e p a r a t o r y D e p a r t m e n t . O u t of seven games played, five were won, the P r e p s

scor ing two h u n d r e d s ixteen points and their opponents one h u n d r e d twenty-

eight. A s the college has long looked to the P r e p a r a t o r y School fo r its basket-

ball mater ia l , it is impera t ive tha t this athlet ic i n f a n t be nour i shed by all s tu-dents of Hope .

The Philathea Society

T h e Phi la thea Society looks back upon a year of substant ia l p rogress up

the heights of l i terary excellence and social a t t a inments . T h e obstacles that have

been encountered have served to increase the zeal of each member , and the

victories that have been gained have inspired in every Phi la thea girl a deeper

loyalty to the society she loves so well.

The Meliphone Society

T h e spiri t of Mel iphone will never die. E v e r since that small company

of s tuden ts ga the red together in 1857 to f o u n d a l i terary society, its spirit has

increased year by year . No t a single season passes but the banner of Meli-

phone has been car r ied f o r w a r d . M a n y know of the society but f ew know of

the real pu rpose of T h e Mel iphone.

T h e pr imal object of the society is to give its m e m b e r s the oppor tun i ty to

improve in all l i terary activities. E v e r y F r i d a y night the Mel iphonians ga the r

to hear a p r o g r a m consis t ing of shor t ora t ions , essays, stories, debates, and mos t

ins t ruc t ive of all, short ex t emporaneous speeches. T h e society displays the re-

sults of its e f for t s to the outs ide wor ld at impor tan t func t ions . A t the first,

the Mel iphone Banquet , the Mel iphonians show their abilities a long social lines.

A t the second, a large audience assembles to hear the best of the society s lit-

e ra ry achievements .

T h u s does T h e Mel iphone cont inue the molding of youth . E a c h year those

w h o leave her a re gladly received by the college, and later by the wor ld .

"I have written the tale of our life For a sheltered people's mirth,

In jesting guise—but ye are wise, And ye know what the jest is worth."

I feel t ha t I, too, k n o w w h a t the j es t is w o r t h .

I k n o w a g r ea t deal m o r e t h a n I f o r m e r l y d id abou t the l i b ra ry a n d h o w

a g a t e w a y to t h e w o r l d ' s g rea tes t intel lects is open to me .

I h a v e l ea rned a lso the t r u t h about D u t c h pa t r io t i sm. I had looked u p o n

the d e s c e n d a n t s of the D u t c h as cold and i nd i f f e r en t to the i r a d o p t e d c o u n t r y .

S ince I h a v e been at H o p e College, I h a v e seen the i r u n w a v e r i n g loyal ty a n d

devot ion . I, m y s e l f , t ake even a g r e a t e r in te res t t h a n b e f o r e in a f f a i r s of gov-

I h a v e l ea rned tha t H o p e i t e s c a r r y a h ighe r ideal t han na t iona l i ty , and tha t is

i n t e rna t iona l i ty . I w o n d e r , somet imes , if m y pa t r i o t i sm is of the w r o n g k ind .

B e c a u s e it b u r n s so hot ly n o w , will it b u r n ou t the sooner and leave only a s h e s ?

W o u l d it be be t t e r if it w e r e of the o the r k ind , a loyal ty concealed and sac red ,

r e a d y to flame only w h e n needed , in o r d e r t ha t it m i g h t t hen be s t ronge r a n d

b r i g h t e r ? I canno t a n s w e r yet .

A n o t h e r i m p o r t a n t t h ing I h a v e become a w a r e of is m y gain in flexibility

of mind . D u r i n g the last t h r e e yea r s , m y m i n d h a s been sluggish, a resul t ,

p robab ly , of physica l condi t ions . O f t e n , a f t e r an h o u r of s tudy m y head aches ,

m e to neglect s tudy , but , as a rule , I c o n q u e r m y weaknes s . T h i s last f a c t

shows t h a t I can do m o r e w i t h m y m i n d , because , f o r m e r l y , I y ie lded to i ts

s l o t h f u l d ic ta tes a n d d i s r e g a r d e d m y obvious dut ies . T h e change shows, I hope ,

g r e a t e r s e l f - c o m m a n d . I t is a lmos t impossible, h o w e v e r , to acqu i re p e r f e c t se l f -

con t ro l in s ix m o n t h s .

I cons ide r m y h a r d e s t tes t of l i s tening a t ten t ive ly to a speake r w a s t aken

a n d succes s fu l ly pas sed d u r i n g the M . O . L . contes t . I had been l abor ing u n d e r

l i s tened, w i t h o u t any ou t s ide ind ica t ion of res t lessness , to s ix teen speake r s d u r -

jec t m a t t e r of each o ra t ion . I am su re t ha t I could not h a v e done tha t one

y e a r ago.

I h a v e also a d v a n c e d in abili ty to concen t r a t e my a t t en t ion whi le s t u d y i n g

or r ead ing . I can sit d o w n in a r o o m w h e r e m a n y people a r e ta lking, and , f o r -

ge t t ing t hem ent i re ly , t r a n s p o r t my m i n d a lmos t w h e r e v e r I wish . I n read ing ,

h e a r i n g my name , even t h o u g h it be spoken in a wh i spe r . A t t imes I seem to

h a v e a double mind , l i s tening and rep ly ing to w h o e v e r is t a lk ing to me, and at

the s ame t ime r e a d i n g a n d g r a s p i n g the sense of w h a t I read . I t is p e r h a p s

only an occas ional abno rma l i t y . I a m cer ta in ly be t ter able t han b e f o r e to fo l low

the deve lopmen t of a plot, and to g r a s p m o r e quickly the point of w h a t I r ead .

120

I feel tha t I am m u c h m o r e capable than f o r m e r l y of fac ing and analyzing

difficult s i tuat ions . I used to be i r responsible and u n t r u s t w o r t h y in a task re-

qu i r ing pat ience, perseverance , and fo r e though t . N o w I a m t rus t ed in every-

thing, I no longer shirk responsibil i ty which is placed on me by the will of

o thers o r t h r o u g h m y own volit ion. N o t only do my pa ren t s impose h a r d tasks

upon me, but they coun t on m y help w h e n there is t rouble . W h e n sudden f e a r

or d o u b t f u l problems have c o n f r o n t e d them, m y f r i e n d s and fami ly have not

scrupled to ask "my modes t aid, and though , at t imes, I a m as helpless as they,

I have learned tha t they need at least my sympa thy and silent hopefu lness .

F o r m e r l y I vaci l lated m u c h between two opinions, w h e n choice was nec-

essary. I think, too, tha t I a l lowed myself to be influenced by the person w h o

happened to be speaking wi th me, and the resul t w a s hopeless con fus ion and

e r ro r . N o w I p r e f e r to go a w a y by myself and th ink th ings over unti l I reach

a decision, by which I s tand firmly a f t e r w a r d . I have not f o u n d it so very d i f -

ficult to subord ina te p r e j u d i c e f o r the pu rpose of cooperat ion, if I only t ry .

O f t e n m y j u d g m e n t is w r o n g , I k n o w ; my p r e j u d i c e may be, sometimes, cr im-

ina l ; but m y desire to be jus t is usual ly s t ronger than my p re jud ice or my con-

fidence in my own j u d g m e n t . H o w e v e r , I seem to see m y opinion m o r e re-

spected by others , and m o r e readi ly l is tened to, as it becomes increasingly the

resu l t of del iberat ion.

Del ibera t ion has also m a d e me m o r e to lerant , a l though to lerance w a s al-

ways impuls ive and na tu r a l to me. Ye t n o w — I realize tha t o thers have p r e j u -

dices as well as I, t ha t o thers m a y act on impulse as I have o f t e n done. I t ry

not to be too has ty in condemnat ion , unti l I have learned all the f ac t s f r o m those

mos t likely to know. T h e habi t of ac t ing on impulse is still s t rong in me, and

it will be a long t ime—perhaps the t ime will never come—unt i l I act ent irely on

reason.

I h a v e never f o u n d it ve ry difficult to wr i t e clearly, bu t it used to be h a r d

f o r me to express myself clearly in conversa t ion . I t a lways seemed tha t tongue

and lips kept back the w o r d t ha t w a n t e d to come. N o w , owing to m o r e c a r e f u l

thought , and a larger vocabulary , also to str ict a t tent ion to good use, tha t d i f -

ficulty is g radua l ly vanishing.

I a m entirely conscious of the weak poin ts in my Engl i sh . T h e y are chiefly

a l imited knowledge of the delicate shades of mean ing in words , a f e a r of con-

vers ing in w o r d s f r o m my read ing or wr i t i ng vocabulary , and an inability to

th ink connectedly. A s to the first deficiency, my plan is to wr i t e down d o u b t f u l

w o r d s as I meet them, and to look up one each day, us ing it as m u c h as possible

on tha t day. T h e second defec t can be overcome only by long pract ice and con-

t inual reassurance . In the case of the th i rd , all tha t I can do is to avoid pres-

sure of s t rong exci tement , suppress exhaus t ive flights of fancy , and to regula te

my thoughts . T h i s is by no m e a n s easy, f o r my mind is na tu ra l ly rest less and

tu rbu len t . I a m too t emperamenta l , and m y m o o d s — I confess to my s h a m e —

are o f t e n abnormal and morbid .

I t is a lmost impossible fo r me to n a m e the n u m b e r of hou r s I have wasted .

O f t e n have I neglected s tudy to fol low my imaginat ion on wild flights. O t h e r

t imes I have yielded to physical fa t igue . Because I have not taken all neces-

sa ry p recau t ions to p rese rve my heal th, I have lost valuable h o u r s of s tudy.

121

O n an average, about two h o u r s a day have been wasted . Th i s I know to be

inexcusable, and I hope the t ime requi red fo r outside read ing the last t e rm will

be of benefit to me.

O n e new interest I have, which is p a r a m o u n t , at present , to all o thers .

O r a t o r y is an a r t at Hope , and I have become so enthusiast ic about it t ha t I

have begun to sound my own powers of wr i t i ng and del iver ing an orat ion. I

should fail in delivery, and so I cannot look f o r w a r d to jo in ing the r anks of

H o p e ' s o ra tors . Th i s is pract ical ly the only new interest I have developed out-

side the classroom. I belong to no society, and I have not jo ined the Y . W .

C. A . because it would be impossible fo r me to a t tend the meet ings at the hour

they are held.

In the c lassroom my greates t e f for t s a re bent upon shor t -s tory wri t ing. T h e

f ac t that my desire to be an au thor has s t rengthened is due to the sympathet ic

encouragement I have received. I think that my ins t ruc tor sounded the key-

note of success when he said one day in the classroom, "L ive intensely." T h a t

is m y desire. I would fill every momen t to its u tmos t capacity, and ex t rac t

f r o m each momen t all that it has to give. I would exper ience joy, love, hope,

despair , pain, and sor row. I w a n t to see l ife, if I may, feel all h u m a n emotions,

k n o w how people live, work , and love; in short , I would read the grea t h u m a n

hea r t that pulses w a r m l y here below and its relat ion to God and man .

I am not su re whe the r the spirit of H o p e College has a complete hold on me,

but I do k n o w tha t it has exer ted m u c h influence over me. W h a t is the spirit

of H o p e College? T o me, it is m a d e up of k indness and considerat ion f o r all,

of beneficial companionship , of interest in one another and those outside, of de-

sire to help the u n f o r t u n a t e , of h igh aspi ra t ions t oward the best things l i fe can

offer , of appl icat ion to h a r d s tudy. H o p e College spiri t is beneficial, he lpfu l ,

p o w e r f u l , sp i r i tua l ; it is a spirit of H o p e and Love. I t has taken my hea r t and

blended it wi th the hea r t s of o thers w h o feel Hope ' s t rue spirit , so tha t we are

all one, s t r iving t o w a r d the same goal, fighting the same temptat ions , influenced

by the same motives. W h a t can I do f o r this college spirit in re tu rn for wha t

it has done f o r me ? He lp it o n ! P a s s on to o thers wha t it has given to me.

Only thus can I show t r u e apprecia t ion and gra t i tude .

Post-Word

A n d now, dear fe l low-s tudents , a lumni , and f r i ends of H o p e College, we

have come to another guide-pos t—not to the end of the road. W e have a t tempted

to show you in our own way w h a t our school is doing. Undoub ted ly you will

observe the spirit which impels everyth ing at Hope . " A n idea and an ideal" is

the character is t ic mot to of our Pant i socracy . W e believe that l i fe at H o p e has

never been m o r e wholesome than it is at present , and it was very largely with

that sent iment that we felt it incumbent upon ourselves to give to posteri ty THE

MILESTONE of t h e C l a s s of 1918.

T h e advisabil i ty of edit ing an annual has been quest ioned by several of our

interested f r iends . A f t e r c a r e fu l deliberation, however , we felt confident tha t

THE MILESTONE was one of the requisi tes of a complete college career . In pe-

rus ing this volume, you will undoubted ly find m a n y points where in our work

might have been improved. W e offer no apologies or palliatives, but we hope

that our successors may benefit by our shor t -comings . If we have succeeded in conver t ing the thoughts of our a lumni into a sublime reverie of their college

l i f e ; if we have vividly por t rayed , even in an epitome, the events of the school

y e a r ; if we have m a d e some sense the spirit of H o p e — w e shall be assured that

our e f for t s have not been in vain.

T h e Jun io r Class, as sponsor of THE MILESTONE, desires to express her

sincere apprecia t ion to her fe l low-s tudents fo r their whole-hear ted co5perat ion.

W e also desire to thank the adver t i sers who have, to a large extent , made pos-

sible this publication. T o the facul ty , too, we feel indebted fo r its kindly in-

terest and he lpfu l counsel.

W e t rus t THE MILESTONE of the Class of 1918 will a f fo rd you much profit

and pleasure.

Frederick J. Muriel Stegeman withdrew at 12:45 A. M. to Lawrence's room (No. 8 Van Vleck, in case evidence be required).

The night had been wild and flabbergast-ing and for periods as long as five minutes these volunteers would forget the re-sponsibilities of the pending morrow.

Upon arrival at their abode a debate en-sued as to whether they should study im-mediately if not sooner, or whether they should wait until the sun made its debut in the east. The latter plan was adopted and the boys slept the sleep of the just until Old Ben emitted sound waves in their di-rection at 4 :30 A. M.

Lawrence Henry Dalman and Paul Frederick J. Muriel Stegeman rushed for the books with speed enough to make a howitzer blush. On one occasion a baby-ribbon fell to the floor and Lawrence asked for thumb tacks, but all Paul Frederck could offer was finger-nails.

They ate Bock and drank cakes for break-fast and perambulated to chapel sadder Budweiser boys.

J. Hoffman: "You've got to be pretty smooth to get to the top nowadays."

Sy: "Yes, and you are usually smooth on top before you get there."

"To make shaving easier? How?" asks the man.

By taking the harshness from shaving, to he sure. By using San-Tox toilet purities, to he certain.

"To m a k e ' b e a u t i f y i n g ' s a f e r ? How?" asks the woman.

By using San-Tox purities again. By using them again and again.

So — San-Tox Shaving Lotion for the mascu-line face; it is tonic, reviving, life to the new-shaved skin; just as San-Tox After-Shave Talc is cooling, sooth-ing comfort. S o — S a n - T o x Cold Cream for the feminine face. It cleanses, con-serves, blandishes the skin; just as San-Tox Enchantment Complex-ion Powder protects and perfects it.

Mustn't there be a rea-son for the San-Tox d r u g g i s t ' s invariable offer of purchase money returned for any prepa-ration which is not thor-oughly effective?

And—think—there are 125 San-Tox prepara-tions, on which that of-fer stands good. They're sold at the Sign of the Nurse by San-Tox drug-gists, who are purity druggists all.

Henry , mosquito for Bernard & Co., was found dead in the Company's offices this morning. He had become jammed in the kej'-hole while taking a nap af te r lunch, and the janitor had failed to awaken him. as was his usual custom, while dusting.

"GRAVE A F F A I R S " As nill Appear on Death Certificates of

woke up dead." L. Hamburg: "Died suddenly at age of

one hundred and three: To this time he bade fair to reach a ripe old age."

P. Oltmans: "Deceased had never been fatally sick."

H. Karsten: "Died suddenly, nothing serious."

/ . Wierda: "Kicked by horse, shod on left kidney."

W. Jans ma: "Died without the aid of a physician."

H. Sywassink: "Blood-poison, caused by broken ankle, which is remarkable; as his automobile struck him between the lamp and the radiator."

The more we know we know we know. We know we know the less.

The "Star-Spangled Banner." The plot. "Rise please." The discovery. The quick march. The "Star-Spangled Banner." The battle. The rout of the enemy. The "Star-Spangled Banner." The kiss. The end. The "Star-Spangled Banner."
