Princeton Prof. Addresses Hope

Students in Chapel SAYS " G R E E K IS T H E GREAT

CLARIFIER OF THOT It is very rare that we are privi-

leged to come In contact with a man who Is acquainted with several lan-guages, but the students of Hope had this opportunity Wednesday morn-

ing, when Dr. Wilson, Professor of Semitic Languages a t Princeton Theological Seminary, addressed the entire student body.

Dr. Wilson has a working knowl-edge of at least a dozen languages, and as his time permits he acquires others. His main reason for this ex-tensive study Is that the premises ot all ancient history lie in the docu-ments written in the original tongue, thus giving him the knowledge first-hand. Dr. Wilson said, "You can never appreciate li terature as-much as when you read it in the ori-glnar. tangue.' Speaking of Greek as

*

the * giVat "clarifler of human

thought," he chose as his text the Greek word one 'one'. Interpreting It through the saying of Paul, "this one

thing 1 do." In our college work we must do one thing ar ight ; we must do one thing if we are to do the work of life aright. Dr. Wilson never had a regular pastorate, but he fefjt that that one thing in his life was to be an Instructor in the Semitic languages and a pastor among the students, an occupation which he has loved ever since he took It up forty-four years ago.

Seniors Give Farewell Talks

MAY CRIST EVER REMAIN KING OF OUR CAMPUS

Last Tuesday evening the Senior class had charge of the regular Y. M. meeting. The leadem of the meeting were, Richard Van Farowe, Leonard De Moor and Simon Heemstra. Each of these men brought a splendid mes-sages to the "Y" men and the meeting proved to be a great success. Their words may be summed up in the fol-lowing manner :

"The Y. M. and the Y. W. are the two great unifying elements upon our campus. The diCferent class esc so-cieties, and athletic sports are truly unifying In themselves but the Asso. flation Union binds all into one uni-ted brotherhood which af ter all is the fundamental force of genuine living."

"There is a great tendency among studentsto crowd in too many extra currlcular activities Into their pro-gram which interferes to a great ex-tent with their scholarship. Scholar-ship is a f te r all the greatest asset of education. Students should avoid the worthless rush of present-day life and have more time for study and medita-tion."

"During these days when there is •onsiderable controversy between re-ligious factions It is of great import-ance that students use common sense in social conduct and have the ability to defend the principles of Christ. The Y. M. can prove to be of great as-sistance to students in regard to thlp social training and spiritual develop-ment."

The Inquisitive Reporter THE QUESTION:

How would you like to sot4 nil all-collegc banquet Instliiited at Hope next year?

T H E ANSWERS: Mrs. W. H. Durfee, French Dept.-

Yes: such an affair might be very de-lightful. We really have too little op-portunity for social gatherings out-side our own special group. If all the men's societies should unite In one big banqte t , and all the girls' societies should do the same on an-other occasion, there would be some interesting developments in the mat-ter of Invitations, and incidentally, it might be quite advantageous to the s ta te of one's pocket-bodk. Think, too, how much more Inspir-ing it would be to prepare a speech that the whole college would hear, than to give a toast for a select few. One suggestion, however, has been that all should unite and engage some well-known orator to deliver the speech ^ot the evening. This might> or might not, be highly entertaining. Personally, I enjoy the wit of our own*students better than the more studied efforts of some outside speaker, unless he is one of the very-best.

W. Wlchers, History Dept.—I am strongly in favor of the All-College Banquet for next year. Many high grade Colleges are trying them and report banquets that are at once en-tertaining and profitable. It breaks down the Clan spirit and fosters t rue College democracy. I am confident that if it were once attempted it would soon become a permanent in-

stitution. It would be possible to bring here some of the finest a f te r dinner speakers In the Middle West. However, 1 am not in favor of adding another banquet to those already ex-isting. Let us eliminate some of the smaller affairs in favor of the larg-er. It might be well to emphasize "Society" less and "Hope" more.

o Agnes Buikema, 25—I think that

the suggestion of an all-college ban-quet is a good one. The annual Y.

M.-Y. W. reception is now the only time when all students and faculty meet in a social way. An all-college banquet would offer an opportunity for another get-together of this kind. An event In which all students and faculty participate certainly cultiv-ates Hope spirit and this Is what we want.

Richard Mallery, '20.-—I believe that an all-college banquet Is just what we need at Hope. Wo have our Society banquets and Class parties

but we do not have an all-college event that would unite us as Hopeites under our common colors, orange and blue. It is right that we should have our class and society distinc-tions but at the same time we should not forget tha t we are all Hopeites. This bond of union should be strong-er than any other fraternal tie upon the campus. An all-college banquet would strengthen this bond of union for It would unite us as a student body In the Interests of our Alma Mater.

o Wm. Hllmert, '25.—I would cer-

tainly be In favor of an all-college banquet next year if it might be the means of modifying or eliminating some of the group affairs tha t clut-ter our social calender every spring. It would serve the same purpose, if

well managed, and would certainly be more democratic and less expen-sive than the present "competitive" system. It appeals to me as a very

desirable and altogether feasible plan.

ATHLETIC BOARD INAURGURATES AN

ELECTION SCHEME STUDENTS TO HAVE FINAL

CHANCE TO DECIDE Meeting Draws Poor Crowd

As is usual a t this season in the school year, mass meetings a t t rac t very little attention. The one last week Tuesday was no exception to the above statement, Important as it may have been.

At any rate, the Athletic Associa-tion had a mass meeting called for the purpose of electing the members of the board for the ensueing year, and about ten per cent of the total voting strength of the association was present. However some business was transacted. Usually the officers for the next Athletic Board are chos-en by the members of the associa-tion, but the officers of the board

had a new plan up their several sleeves last week. The men who are chosen to positions on this board

must be men who are capable and T efficient, and If they are chosen by

the s tudent-members of the associa-tion it sometimes happens tha t inef-ficient and worthless men land the places of most responsibility. For tun-ately this has not happened in the past few years, however.

The idea inaugurated this year is to have the Athletic Board of one year choose their successors for the following year In this way only those who can measure up to a cer-tain s tandard will be considered. The members present last Tuesday decid-ed In favor of the above plan. How-ever, the plan is to be submitted to the s tudent body in the fall for ra t i -fication, because the mass meetings draw a big crowd earlier in the year.

In the meantime the new officers will be elected in accordance with the new system just adopted.

Annual Ulfilas Program To Be Given June 16

DUTCH TREAT COMING

The lovers of the Holland language as well as the lovers of unequaled hu-mor have a real treat awaiting them. On Monday night June 16, at 8 o'clock In Carnegie Gymnasium, the Ulfllaa club will do their annual stunt. A very spicy and entertaining program has been prepared. However, there will also be an element of real ser-iousness. An oration, budget, male quartet , recitations, and a superb one-act comedy will feature the program. Yes, the play has only one act ,—but many scenes, any one of which will tax your laughing machine. Imagine a Dutch baron, who has left his apar tments for the night, re turns home unexpectedly, and catches his servant In tihe act of royally -enter-taining some of his—the servant's happy-go-lucky associates.

The male quartet will sing some o r -Iginal selections. Just come and hear the latest Dutch Version of "That Lit-" e Old Red Shawl." A budget In ^nglish may be funny but a budget

in Dutch is—well Abe Pott will tell you.

The Club is very grateful to P ro -fessor Welmera and Professor Raap

their kind aid during thte year, and especially for their time and en-erey spent In bringing this final pro. gram of the year so near a reality.

' MISREPRESENTATION •'People are often not what ihey

seem to be" is an oft quoted state-ment of the t ruth as we find it in ev-eryday life. We are not bent on re-forming the world, according to our s tandard of right and wrong but there is an ever-increasing tendency to appear to be what one Is not just because one Is not what he or she

- ought to be. Do we care what others th ink?

Yes we do; so much so In fact that our actions are guided more^by what others mrght say of us than they are by what Is . right. In the everyday happenings o® life are we concealing something Which we would be ashamed to have others know of us? Is honor of more value than class standing? Why then have you cheated when there was an oportunity? Have you attended Chapel all the year be-cause you were afraid your parents would find it out or have you desired the Influence which eminates f rom these exercises ?r Are you seeking an education because you want social stand.ng or to be of assistance to your fellow-men?

Are the foregoing, foolish questions or are we face to face with such as these and many more? The interro-gation of life is not only "To be or not to be," but also, to lie or not to He, to shirk or work, to defend or offend. Theory is alright but it does not go far enough. There must be someone to make it practicable. International peace Is good but will we ever have it when one nation Is Increasing Its army or navy? Christfan principles are beyond qbestion f a r superior to any others but as long as those who profess to have them are misrepre-senting. just so long will there be the evils that attend the substituting of wrong for right.

GROUNDS IN SPRING TOGS When one visits any one of the

numerous college campuses through-out the country he is Immediately Im-pressed favorably or unfavorably ac-cording as the grounds of tha t insti-tution present a beautiful appearance or not. It is with this In mind that whe improvement of our own cam-pus Is In process.

Following up the laying of a cement driveway, which was done last year, >xtensive work has been going on during the entire spring to make Hope's campus a beauty-spot instead of a playground for sand-burrs. The

baseball field has been hollowed down and levelled so as to make it a suit-able practice plot, and the addition )f clay has made It an Ideal diamond. A wide cinder-path has been laid be-tween the rows of trees along the north side of Twelfth street. Then two numerous hollow spots in the plot surrounding Winants ' Chapel have been filled in and re-sodded. Thus the old eye-sores, representing foot-paths, will gradually disappear and, with the help of neat fences, s tudents will be able to enjoy the beauties of a campus in which they cannot help but pride themselves.

Let Us as students make it a point to help the authorit ies in improving a campus, the topography of which

naturally lends itself towards effort we may make. We've got the grounds, now its up to you.

H O P E SPIRIT Personality Is an intangible thing.

w e cannot see or analyze It; yet It li-the most powerful force In the uni-verse. A college has a personality as well as an individual does. That h. what we mean by Hope Spirit.

Hope Spirit means comradeship. No Hopeite who has been away to school fails to appreciate the Interest In one

# another and the atmosphere of good will and friendliness which one feels <>n the campus. This is one of the Joys of a small college where one act-ually makes a wider circle of friend^ than in a university whose enrollment is twenty times as large as ours.

Hope Spirit means good sportsman-ship. We stand for hard and clean Pi ying Jn our athletics, strong and united effort in oratory and debating and earnest and honest accomplish! ment In our studies.

Hope Spirit means dissatisfaction with past accomplishments.

"A man 's reach should exceed his grasp

Or what 's a Heaven fo r?" We never rest content with the ac-complishments of the past but ever st-Ive to attain new heights in the fut-ure.

But, most of all, Hope Spirit means

Wednesday, June the fourth, gave occasion to the thir ty-fourth annual banquet of the Cosmopolitan society at six-thirty o'clock in the Woman's Literary Club room. The members and guests of the society assembled in the spacious auditorium to be enter-'ained by a short program prelusor> to descending to the dining room. Alt ^are and disquitude were dispelled by the dramatic recitation of Lew Wal-lace's st irr ing "Chariot Race" by Si-mon Heemstra. To fur ther prepare ill spirits for the events of the even-ing a cello solo, played in the inimit ible, fascinating style of George Lo Mere, at tuned our hear ts with the harmonies of the occasion. Peter Wessellnk (let the name suggest the par t ) reminded us that "A little non. -ense now and then is relished by the visest men," so tha t the assurance might just ify an evening of unre-itrained jocosity.

The scene now shifted to the din-ng room, where the menu temporar-ly directed all activities." The vl-"ant s trains of a harp, mingled with he music undulated our very thob vith the ambrosia of perfect har-mony. Throughout , the decorations Presented a fitting background for the haracter of the program, the domin-

ant note being suggestive of art . The urogram was designed in representa-tion of a r t in architecture, painting, culpture, l i terature, and music. Har-

old Damstra, the "Master Artist" and oastmaster brought architecture be

'ore us through Neil Van Gostenburg .vho toasted to Cathedrals In repre-tentation of architecture. Art In minting was portrayed by Cornelius Hospers In the "Angelus." A quartef composed of Christian Roosenraad Tohn Dethmers, Henry Korver, and Fred Steggerda, diversified the pro-Tram before sculpture took form In 'Apollo Relvldere" by Kenneth Van ^ente. Li terature was presented In Whitman's "Leaves of Grass," by rrwin Lubbers, an honored alumnus m d a member of Hope College Fac-ilty. Marlnus Hoffs toasted to

3eethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" in •epresentation of music. A cornet luet by Henry Costing and Marlon De Young concluded the program with a

irn of lightness.

Among the guests were Professor Ve'mers and Mrs. Welmers, Profes-' 0 r Van Zyl and Mrs. Van Zyle, and Prsfecgor Lubbers and Mrs. Lubbers

FIRST TWO INNINGS Good Record Tills Season

The Orange and Blue nine brought intheir fifth win over a s tate college nine this season by handing the Cen-tral State Normal crew a 11-7 drub-bing.

After the first five innings the Hope swatters let down and allowed the teachers a few runs tha t otherwise would not have been brought In. Hope-had the Mount Pleasant lads at their •vits' end by playing a sacrifice game. When a man got to the keystone sack Lhe next man up would advance him on either a sacrifice or else hit over he infielders' heads. .

Albers went the entire route for ^chouten's men while Bottom start-d on the firing line for the Teachers.

>prague relieved him at the start of he third and hurled the remaining

frames.

Albers was nicked for nine safe Singles while between Sprague am" rjottom Hope accounted for eleven safeties.

This is the last game of the '2^ leason for Hope. In all they played ^ight college games, winning five ol hem. Ferr is went under the ax twice

while Kazoo College, St. Mary's a m Mt. Pleasant made the last wins. Onl> the M. A. C., Kazoo College and th( Western State Normal cashed In wins over the Orange and Blue.

In the first inning Ottipoby walked iml so did Doeksen, Lubbers singled. Riemersma filed out and Van Lente's safety brought in Chief and Doeksen. noppen's single brought in Lubbers. The Teachers got Hick on thru an error, the next man filed out, Robbint, .Ingled bringing in Hick. This was f he only hit allowed by Albers for frames. In the next t ime up Alherp singled and Chief did likewise. Doek-sen beat out a sacrifice. Riemersmn brought in Heinle and Chief. Another hit from Poppen brought In Ben and Doeksen. Hope scored again in the 1th when one hit blossomed forth into .hree runs. Lubbers, Riemersma and Van Lente came across while Riem-Tsma was the only one of the trio to ,ret on by a hit.

The Teachers scored in the 4th when D die hit a double and came In m a single f rom Le Cronier; and

again in the fifth when an error and a hit brought in Tidle.

Hope's last run in the eighth, was the result of a hit by Lubbers and a Jacrlfice by Ben.

Ben beat out the sacrifice due to an J i ror on the Teacheis ' par t and Pop-pen hit a double bringing in Lubbers. Three hits, bunched in the eighth brot in Robbins and Didic, while in the ninth a single and a tr iple combined with an error to bring in Hicks and bobbins.

Knicks Banquet At Country Club

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL GATHER. ING FINDS NINETY

P R E S E N T T^e Knicks held their fifteenth an-

nual banquet Friday evening, June 6, it the Holland Country Club. About ninety banqueteera were present, in-cluding several (members of the a lum-ni members.) Decorations and lights were well arranged to suit the thot of be evening. A three-piece orchestra

"urnished the music. Selections by he harpist were doubly enjoyed.

Oliver Veneklaasen, president of he society, acted as toastmaster. In

larmony with the na ture of the ban-mot toasts were given t o : Our Color

^heme—Russe l l Van Dyke; Daubs from the Brush—Ray Whelan; Art 's M a s t e r p i e c e s — W i l l i a m T u t t l e ; T h e

Old Order Changeth—Chris DeJonge. 'V violin-cello duet by IDdward Field-house and Norman Vander Hart was an added feature. A play "Greenwich Love proved very funny and highly entertaining. The characters were James Ver Meulen, Wal ter Roughgar. den, Vernon Ten Cate, and Alvin Neevel.'

Delphi Sisters, bift and little, with their guests, met in an o i l fashioned flower garden that they found hi the Literary Club rooms last Saturday evening. The. occasion was the four-teenth annual banquet of the society this year happily celebrated as an alumnae reunion. Little sisters wel-comed 'back big sisters who had for-merly played In the garden. Good Mother Delphi smiled at the delight of her children in their reunion, and when old t imes had been renewed, led them thru the garden gate to the plot were the tables were set for feast-ing. There, in a leafy bower, snowy tables marked the Delta seal. But-terflies hovered over great urns .of white and purple lilacs, while strains from harp and violin set our hearts a-dance. Dainty sun-bonnets at each ulace were ready for whoever might

are for a stroll.

After the feasting Mabel VanDyke formally welcomed the guests to the garden, and In a happy way pointed out the beds of flowers. She spied Mary Siegers picking a bachelor but-ton and called upon her. So Mary re-sponded in her pleasant way In a toast to our guests,—"Bachelor But-tons." Pearl Paalman made the gar-den sweet with two vocal selections, "As In a Rose Jar , " f rom Cadman, and "The Three Illders," f rom Sachs. Margaret Tromfien had found a sprig of lavender in her corner bed which brot back tho t s of fr iends who had departed and so toasted delightfully to fr iendship in "Lavender." Edith Klerk added music to the spell of the garden when she played "Rhapsody in B Minor" f rom Brahms, and "Rain-drop" f rom Chopin.

By this time our toastmistress had found one of the alumnae, a char-ter member, deep in thot in the pansy bed. Mrs. A. Van Bronkhorst , '18 told glowing tales of the garden plot when it was first planted, and stirred us to new endeavor, - in her toast to "Pansies." More music to weave a spell when Martha Barkema, Anne Barkema and Nelle Kole sang two garden songs for us—"Larkspur and Lilies Fal l" by Harris, and "Hark the Robin's Early Song," by Lynes. True to her botanical instinct Cornle Osse-waarde was found busily classifying the lady slippers. She uniquely told *is what each variety stood for in the Delphi garden of girls in her toast to "Lady Slippers."

We were next entertained by a songster who has not been heard In the garden for several years, but who is spreading abroad Delphi fame. Marian Struick, '18, epresslvely sang "Daffodils A-Blowing" from German. Evelyn Zwemer, '20, brot the last leaf fluttering to the ground all too soon when she pledged our undying love ^o Alma Mater in her toast to "For-Tet-me-not."

Lingering at the gate we all joined n "Hail Delphi" with Suzanna Hame-Ink, 22, the composer of the music,

at the piano,—then left the garden to ts dreams.

Officers Elected

The Emersonians gathered at Mac-a tawa beach last Fr iday af ternoon to enjoy thei r annual outing. Indoor baseball on the beach proved humor-ous as well as exciting. The business meeting was held while the social committee prepared the eats. The "call of the ki tchen" was unan im-iously answered in the form of a gen-eral s tampede. When the hot dogs had disappeared everyone finished the pie-a-la-mode, sitting 'round the old camp fire. After Smithy had been initiated and Soeter had washed his socks, the jolly Hopeites returned to Holland.

Fellow Idiots and Ne'er Do Wells:— A warm chilly morning; yet, one

cannot fail to ga ther one's eye heav-enward and see in the greenish blue sky a flock of swine gruntng onward. It Is a day of rejoicing on the Island of Oompah. Fourscore and eleven years ago marks the period at the end of a sentence. It was on this very ".aland of Oompa.h that Sir Roderick Dhu lost two sets of nickel-plated col-lar buttons and the Lady of the Lake lost her mind. It was on this very piece of land surrounded by fluid tha t Sir Galahad found, much to his joy-ous sorrow, the Unholy Grail. Yea. verily! it was on this space of firma-ment that the Charge of the Heavy Brigade was charged and Into the Valley of Sunshine and Roses gal-loped the six hundred without their horses. Rut ah! in the stillness of the noisy night comes slowly to our ear", with terrific celerity the news ^ that the Island of Oompah has fallen. The fall of old King Kole as a married old oul cannot be compared to this short

lengthy episode. The chattering of he birds- could be distinctly heard ibove the roar of the booming'cannon md the belching blast of the fiery ma-r-bine gun. The torrid heat f rom the floating icebergs gave proof through the night that our camels were still* there. The losa of life was stupend-ous. Everywhere o'er the broad nar -row battlefield . the dead were softly humming the loud lullabys. The wounded wound their wounds around V l n n i n g groans of indescribable ag-"ny oAh! friemfly enemies! the fail ')f Oompah created a new paragraph ()n the third page of my history book. "Why did Oompah fal l? In reply to
