Holland, Michigan, Dec. 12 1928 Number 71 Degree Is Conferred On Our Guests NETHERLANDS AMBASSADOR AND OTHERS ENTERTAINED AT BANQUET A TRUE KNIGHT NEW ANCHOR STAFF TO BE VIOLINS "Nature Talks" On Tuesday evening, December 4, Hope College was greatly honored by having His Excellency, Dr. Jan Herman van Roijen, am- bassador of the Netherlands to the United States, representing Queen Wilhelmina of Netherlands at Washington, D. €., as a guest. His Excellency was honored by an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws as were also William Leverich Brower and Charles A. Hunk, eld- ers of fhe consistory of the Colleg- iate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of New York City. Dr. Van Roijen delivered an address on the League of Nations in which he praised the work of the League, and hoped that the United States would join it soon. Rev. Dr. Mal- colm J. McCleod, President of the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America and Pastor of the St. Nicholas Collegiate Church of New York City, spoke on the Christian College, which stands for culture. Dr. Edward D. Dimnent presided at the meeting, and con- ferred the degrees before a gather- ing of over 1000 guests. Before the evening meeting, a banquet was held at the Warm Friend Tavern at which the facul- ties of Hope College and Western Theological Seminary, invited guests, and Council Members at- tended. Charles M. McLean of Hol- land, vice-president of the board of Trustees of Hope College officiated as toastmaster. The speakers in- ^clujled Dr. John Vander Vries, a Hope graduate" and now dfttrtct manager of the United States Chamber of Commerce at Chicago, Mr. John Vennema and Attorney Gelmer Kuiper of Chicago, former- ly of Grand Rapids, all graduates of Hope College. The Dining Hall was very beautifully decorated with the American and Dutch flags. About 150 guests were in attend- ance. Other distinguished guests who came from the east with Dr. Van Roijen and Dr. McCleod were Rev. Albertus T. Broek, of Tarrytown, N. Y., President of the Board of Education of the Reformed Church in America, Dr. Willard Dayton Brown, secretary of the Board of Education, and Rev. Cornelius B. Muste of New York City, educa- tional Secy, of Hope College in the East. Hope was greatly honored by the presence of these distinguished guests and honorable graduates on her campus. Gov. Fred W. Green, Senator Arthur Vandenberg, and Mayor E. C. Brooks of Holland, sent their congratulations to Dr. van Roijen which Dr. Dimnent read at the convocation Tuesday night. "— And a knight came riding." Only, as Mr. Brower said it wasn't on a horse. The glee club girls had quite a thrill when they discovered that the kindly old man sitting be- tween Mr. McLean and Rev. Ha- ger at Convocation was a full fledged Knight of Orange Nassau, so made by no less than Queen Wilhelmina herself. A number of the girls sought to learn something of the cross which Dr. William Leveredge Brower wore during the ceremonies, and uncovered a fairy tale come true. Sir Knight re- membered the visit of Hope's Glee Club to New York City a few years ago and said he'd like to borrow this year's club. Alth6ugh eighty- two years old he is a youth in spirit. His smile is enough to belong to any maiden's gallant hero. o Enthusiastic Crowd Greets Farbman ELECTED AFTER HOLIDAYS NEW SYSTEM OF ELECTION IS PLANNED The following are the nomina- tions for the next Anchor Staff as it now stands: Editor-in-chief: Earle Langeland Russell Smith Gordon Van Ark Henry Steffens Associate Editor: Alice Brunson Paul Brower Leonard Willett Myra Ten Cate Donald Wade Sport Editor: Bernard Arendshorst Dorothy Haan E.

YOUNG VIOLINIST CARRIES CROWD TO ENCHANT- MENT Dr. Nettinga Gives Lecture Carnegie Hall was well filled when the music lovers of Holland welcomed the return of Harry Farbman on December sixth. Mar- garet Engler accompanied the vio- linist ably at the piano. The art- ist's program consisted of three groups — the first, Ciaconna, by Vitali and Bach's Prelude E Major, for violin alone; second from Con- certo E Minor by Mendelssohn, Allegro, molto appassionato and Andante and allegretto non troppo, Alkgio miilto-vlvaee; Oird, Noc- turne by Chopin, Guitarre by Mos- kowski-Sarasate, Achron's Hebrew Melody, and Spanish Dance by Sar- asate. The fourth number on the Ly- ceum course will be on Thursday, December 13, and will be presented by the Hungarian National Or- chestra. A. D. D's. Don New Sweaters The Lyceum Course brought many to hear Harry Farbman. There were, of course, hundreds who know little about the violin, but the audience was made up mainly of violinists and musicians, both teachers and students. An interesting incident called the at- tention of many when a feeble old man, a teacher, and a small pupil of seven years made their appear- ance on the campus. Both were bent on hearing the instrument they loved well played by an art- ist. The older perhaps had once held as much attention with his precious well used instrument. The young boy saw beautiful dreams of the time when he should hold great audiences spell bound by his skill, indeed he longed for the day when he would be large enough to dis- card his miniature and play a reg- ular size violin. Age was puzzled, had lost its way and the child was leading him to Carnegie Hall. Which of the two appreciated the music more in comparison to his capacity is hard to say. But both left that night with a smile on the lips and a tear in the eye. God had given both a love for the beau- tiful.

To the Home Volunteer Group last Friday evening Dr. Nettinga gave the first of two lectures on the Reformed Church in America. His subject was "The Origin and Growth of the Reformed Church in America." The history of our church, while not spectacular, is very interesting. The present Re- formed church is the union of two movements of immigration. The first group of immigrants came in the flisi half of the 17lh ctniury and the second group in the mid- dle of the 19th century. The first group settled in New York and in New Jersey and the second in western Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. The churches of these two groups were united by Dr. Van Raalte and the leaders in the East. Those who settled in the East came mainly for economic reasons, while those who came to the West came seeking religious freedom. He also gave several reasons for the slow growth of our church. His lecture was one which brought much enjoyment and knowledge to those who were present. This week he will lecture on the char- acter and accomplishment of the Reformed church. o The Athletic Debt Diggers after just having emerged from a most successful football season have plunged into the basketball sea- son with much enthusiasm. Through their untiring efforts during the past season they made enough money to give amply to the Athletic Association besides buying sweaters for themselves. Their plans for the coming sea- son are being laid along similar lines and with the aid and co-op- eration of the HOPE Basketeer fans, much HOPE is being held for the swelling of HOPE's Athletic Fund. The girls in their new orange sweaters with blue "H's" looked very becoming and prosperous at the game Monday nite, all will agree.

Muste 4 4 Y" That "Y" is a very active organ- ization on Hope's Campus is very much evidenced by the inviting an- nouncements that are given in re- gard to the meetings as scheduled for each week. Newcomers in a college often are under the impression that Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. are groups of "goody-goodies" who gather to dis- cuss some uninteresting topics of the day. However,' after listening to the announcements as given in chapel one readily concludes that Hope's "Y's" are not only very active and alert, but also very up- to-date in handling^modern youth's problems. Leads Chapel Rev. C. B. Muste, educational secretary of Hope College who is in charge of Hope's interests in the East, and pastor of the "Re- formed Church on the Heights," of Brooklyn, led in the chapel services Wednesday morning. Having read the chapter con- cerning the rich young man who came to Christ and yet let one thing keep him from entering the Kingdom, he referred in a short but very inspirational message, to Achan who, he said, measured by his beautiful garment and wedge of gold, not the value of his God, but of himself; and to Judas whose thirty pieces of silver was not his valuation of Christ, but of him- self. Mr. Muste was also herd to give the convocation address at the be- ginning of the year. The annual "Fraternal" serenade was made at Voorhees Dormitory last Friday, when the Fraters sang fine romantic selections to the peer- ing heads above. Beneath the chilly stars rang out "Sweetheart of Sig- ma Chi," "Sonny Boy," and sim- ilar dramatic hits of the season. The Tremolo on the violin was no exaggeration, for the temperature was far better for radio broadcast- ing than for nocturnal vocalizing. The event being celebrated was the election of society officers for the second of the three terms. "Fraternals" new officials are: Otto Yntema, president; Nellis Tanis, vice-president; Bernard Arends- horst, secretary; and Henry Stef- fens, treasurer. These will offici- ate until the end of the next twelve weeks. Titus Van Haitsma, a Hope- ite who enrolled from the distant land of Zeeland, now reigns in splendor as "Janitor." He ad- dressed the Dorm girls during the "serenade, making a brief but force- ful speech. The "Fraternal Home" now has a candy store where members and visitors can procure all the well known bars. MR. TOONIN FROM MESOPO- TAMIA NOTES NEW FREEDOM EASTERN STUDENT COMPARES HIS COUNTRY WITH MICHIGAN dates and grapes. Hundreds of people are seasonably occupied in picking, sorting and packing dates, one of the chief products of the country. Mr. Toonin remarked about the new freedom of the country in many ways; he considered the bet- ter educated classes much more tolerant of the Christians, and new customs, such as the Europe- anizing of the Moslem women's dress. He was greatly surprised here, however, at the remarkable freedom of the women in the col- lege. In his country coeducational schools are unheard of, and women never travel about in the evening, even in groups, without escorts. Incidentally, Mr. Toonin believes that the Eastern women in Euro- pean garb compare most favorably with the best of America, Mr. Kamil Toonin, Hope fresh- man from Basrah, Iraq (formerly Mesopotamia) has some interest- ing comparisons to make between Holland, Mich., and his native country. Winter is not as cold as in Michigan there, and most of the people have never seen snow, but the weather is usually a disagree- able damp cold. Once in a few years in a severe cold spell, people will die from the cold, mainly due to lack of protection. At this season most of the peo- ple will have returned to the towns and cities after the harvest season, in September and October, for Emersonian Election Emersonian Literary Society held its winter election Friday, and after the meeting had officers' treat at the Green Mill Cafe. New officers are: President, Clarence Diephouse Vice-Pres., Herman Harms Secretary, Earle E. Langeland Treasurer, Elwin Van den Belt Sergeant at Arms, Chas. E. Ro- zema Keeper of Archives, Harry K. Smith Addisonian Election At the Addisonian Society meet- ing, Friday, officers for the second term were elected. They are: President, Donald Hicks Vice-Pres., Sidney Hiersma Secretary, Henry Bast Treasurer, Jack Gulick Custodian, Miles Peters Keeper of Archives, Edward L Swarthout "He laughs by the summer stream. Where the Lilies nod and dream; As through the sheen of water cold and clear. He sees the chub and sunflsh darting sheer." I think I shall never forget the first time I read the delightful poem of Maurice Thompson's en- titled "The Kingfisher," from which the above lines are taken. Perhaps because it represents associations so vivid and undying to me, per- haps because the poet has voiced a bit of the unutterable felicity of the woodsy unblighted freedom of the hills and streams where the kingfisher dwells perhaps, well, as a Spanish would say with an eloquent shrug, "quien sabe?" (who knows?). At any rate I learned the poem and many, many times I have repeated it to myself, al- ways with the keenest exhilaration of the spirits, for always I am car- ried in memory to the hills and valleys of New York State, where flows the French Creek of histori- cal fame, winding its way through the fertile farmlands toward the distant Allegheny river. The creek, as I have known it, is not merely a stream of water, rough or smooth as the case may be, but is a live, animated creature, a thing of moods, of passions, and so many of its qualities are so es- sentially human that it well re- pays a careful study, not as one would study a biological specimen, let us say, but as one studies un- knowingly perhaps, a close and much loved friend. There are stretches of water in the old creek that represent it in a quietly pensive mood when it moves along with scarcely a rip- ple, lapping the blue flags and ar- ro# lemf «t it^ -mai^nt with un- conscious intimacy, reflecting the movements of the clouds in its depths like a serene mind taking cognizance of hallowed reflection a little of the intangible essence of life to guide when rougher ele- ments intrude and chafe the spirit. Even so is it with my friendly old creek. Oh, I have lived with it and loved it too long not to know — for again, leaving behind all of its poise it takes a leap down- ward and flashes against a preci- pice in a sudden unrest of spirit the waters become turbid, they whirl about uncertainly, something has upset the evenness of the way, and if perchance a bowlder pro- trude its head, the waves play over it petulantly, as if seeking a defi- nite cause for their unrest, yet not sure just where lies the snag that has caused the commotion. The precipice itself looms cold and un- perturbable, a hundred feet of al- most perpendicular clay and bowl- der towering above the flood and looking down with calm indiffer- ence upon the turmoil below. Yes, the creek and the cliff have become very real and quite human to me. But the mood changes again, and the creek slips quietly beneath the outspread branches of some giant sycamore to form a still, dark, pool, where the light is toned to a mellow gray effect, and the sun- shine stealing through the broad leaves of the sycamore, dapples the surface of the water and lends an atmosphere of misty enchantment to the place. The water is very dark and cool here and though it is apparently so quiet, yet the dark depths teem with life; there are big yellow bass who waty for their prey and waterboatmen ply their trade on the surface, or a solemn waterskater takes his way along the margin of the pool. However, the world is too full of interest- ing things to allow of too long or deep brooding, and suddenly, with a boisterous, carefree laugh the stream springs from the cover into the sunlight, and such a rollicking, gushing old stream it now appears! Seldom does one see a more spon- taneous gaiety, the whole tenor of its way is simply a buoyant. light heartedness, as though it revelled in its very wildness and freedom with an exultant gladness that knows no bounds, and at such times the blue of the York State skies is re- flected back with the warm rich- ness of a- thousand sapphires, and .the water as it dances over the bowlders and pebbles that mark its way throws into the air tiny rain- (Continued on Pa«e 4)

"He laughs by the summer stream. Where the Lilies nod and dream;

As through the sheen of water cold and clear.

He sees the chub and sunflsh darting sheer."

I think I shall never forget the first time I read the delightful poem of Maurice Thompson's en-titled "The Kingfisher," from which the above lines are taken. Perhaps because it represents associations so vivid and undying to me, per-haps because the poet has voiced a bit of the unutterable felicity of the woodsy unblighted freedom of the hills and streams where the kingfisher dwells — perhaps, well, as a Spanish would say with an eloquent shrug, "quien sabe?" (who knows?). At any rate I learned the poem and many, many times I have repeated it to myself, al-ways with the keenest exhilaration of the spirits, for always I am car-ried in memory to the hills and valleys of New York State, where flows the French Creek of histori-cal fame, winding its way through the fertile farmlands toward the distant Allegheny river.

The creek, as I have known it, is not merely a stream of water, rough or smooth as the case may be, but is a live, animated creature, a thing of moods, of passions, and so many of its qualities are so es-sentially human that it well re-pays a careful study, not as one would study a biological specimen, let us say, but as one studies un-knowingly perhaps, a close and much loved friend.

There are stretches of water in the old creek that represent it in a quietly pensive mood — when it moves along with scarcely a rip-ple, lapping the blue flags and ar-ro# lemf «t it^ -mai^nt with un-conscious intimacy, reflecting the movements of the clouds in its depths like a serene mind taking cognizance of hallowed reflection a little of the intangible essence of life to guide when rougher ele-ments intrude and chafe the spirit. Even so is it with my friendly old creek. Oh, I have lived with it and loved it too long not to know — for again, leaving behind all of its poise it takes a leap down-ward and flashes against a preci-pice in a sudden unrest of spirit — the waters become turbid, they whirl about uncertainly, something has upset the evenness of the way, and if perchance a bowlder pro-trude its head, the waves play over it petulantly, as if seeking a defi-nite cause for their unrest, yet not sure just where lies the snag tha t has caused the commotion. The precipice itself looms cold and un-perturbable, a hundred feet of al-most perpendicular clay and bowl-der towering above the flood and looking down with calm indiffer-ence upon the turmoil below. Yes, the creek and the cliff have become very real and quite human to me.

But the mood changes again, and the creek slips quietly beneath the outspread branches of some giant sycamore to form a still, dark, pool, where the light is toned to a mellow gray effect, and the sun-shine stealing through the broad leaves of the sycamore, dapples the surface of the water and lends an atmosphere of misty enchantment to the place. The water is very dark and cool here and though it is apparently so quiet, yet the dark depths teem with life; there are big yellow bass who waty for their prey and waterboatmen ply their trade on the surface, or a solemn waterskater takes his way along the margin of the pool. However, the world is too full of interest-ing things to allow of too long or deep brooding, and suddenly, with a boisterous, carefree laugh the stream springs from the cover into the sunlight, and such a rollicking, gushing old stream it now appears! Seldom does one see a more spon-taneous gaiety, the whole tenor of its way is simply a buoyant. light heartedness, as though it revelled in its very wildness and freedom with an exultant gladness that knows no bounds, and a t such times the blue of the York State skies is re-flected back with the warm rich-ness of a- thousand sapphires, and

First and foremost we congratu-late the student body on its suc-cess with the faculty concerning the matter of Christmas vacation. Seventeen whole days! — and we trust , they won't be wasted.

« « *

For the benefit of those kind people whose sympathy is contin-ually being displayed toward Voor-

heesites we wish to announce that the dorm indulged in two Thanks-giving dinners. Two good meals a year, Mr. Diekema!

* * *

While we are at the subject of the vacation tha t is past we will say also that Miss Essie Eerie of Cincinnati was the guest of Miss Gibson. A luncheon was given in her honor by Miss Gibson, and Miss Boyd entertained at dinner.

• * •

Other guests a t Voorhees Hall were Kay Mentink, '28, and Vio-

• lette Koeppe. * * *

Oh yes! Voorhees Hall helped to entertain about twenty of the fel-lows attending the older boy's con-ference. It is said tha t some of our younger dormites exhibited un-usual interest.

* * *

Ruth Kennell has heard that she is going to have a surprise for Christmas. She hopes it is a dog but is af ra id that it 's a diamond. Everything considered we can't help but hope it's the latter for surely tha t would be the less harm-ful for the rest of us.

* * «

The men have had their turn, so now it is up to the girls to amuse. Yes, the girls ' societies are holding their initiations this week. Didn't you enjoy tha t little added amuse-ment at the game Monday night?

Several students went to Grand Rapids, Wednesday evening to hear Sousa's Band.

An honored dinner guest at Voor-hees one evening last week was Master Junior Lubbers. Come again, Bobby, maybe Grace will have another aeroplane then.

We are glad to see Miss De Pree back again in the library. No, we can't get along without her.

» • »

We hope to see soon all the stu-dents who've been indulging in the flu, too.

You didn't know some of our fa -culty were going on the stage, did you? We are assured that if you had seen Mr. Lubbers and Mr. Raymond at the last meeting of the Century Club, you would believe it. What will the constituency say?

» • •

Have you noticed the relieved and happy expressions on the faces of some of the Seniors recently, and also quite the opposite in others? It is merely tha t the first twelve weeks of practice teaching is over and the second begun.

• • •

We thought Voorhees wasn't go-ing to have any more serenades. But the Fra ters fooled us and came around with a fine one Fri-day night.

Miyo Tase has received a g i f t of one hundred beautiful Japanese

Onions, onions, who wants an onion ? No, not one, but to the consumer of twenty goes the first prize with twelve ranking second. This was the record set in Voor-hees dining hall.

T h i s Changing

World To-day, you can see big build-ings erected noiselessly—by electric welding.

The structural steel worker is dropping his clattering ham-mer for the elearic arc. Silently, swiftly, rigidly, economically, buildings are being fabricated by electric welding, which knits steel with joints as strong as the metal itself.

Building silently! Nothing seems impossible in this elec-trical age.

Not only in building construc-tion,but in every human activity, we instinctively turn to electric-ity to add to the comforts of life and to eliminate the wastes of production—another evi-dence that the electrical industry is maintaining its leadership in this changing world.

Not only industrial equipment, but electric refrigerators, MAZDA

lamps, and litde motors chat add to the comforts of home, are manufactured by the General Electric Company. All are identi-fied by the G-E monogram—a symbol of service.

ATHLETICS

Hope Wins First Game

of the Season

P I C K - U P S By Percy Kuted

MEN SHOW TEAMWORK AND

SKILL

In the first game of the 1928-29 court season the Hope basketball teams defeated the Seventh Re-formed Church of Grand Rapids by a score of 28-14. The game, al-though not particularly closely con-tested, was interesting enough to watch. The Hope College squad had an immense advantage in that they had available over twenty men, any of whom could be substituted at any time.

The first team that appeared for Hope was made up of Martin, Van Lente, Klay, De Pree, and De

Velder. This proved to be the fast-est combination of the evening and considerable of the scoring was done by this aggregation. How-ever, in a short time a second team consisting of Tigelaar, De Young, Vanderbush, Becker and Cook, ap-peared and made a splendid effort to continue the fast work of the former team; and they succeeded in a very creditable manner. From this time on the various combina-tions of men were tried.

The first half was characterized by swift, smooth, steady playing by the Hope squad, while the Grand Rapids group seemed to be ut a loss to cope with the speed of thc Hope men. However, at the begin-ning of the second half the Grand Rapids group seemed to rally, and did some very clever, and rapid scoring for several minutes. But in a short time the Hope team sub-dued our visitors, and the game ended as Indicated by the score.

The Hope scoring was as follows: Floor Shots Fouls

Martin ? Van Lente De Velder Cook Becker De Pree 1 Vanderbush 0

Our city correspondent has noti-fied us that the sport-writer of one of the city dailies has pub-lished an all-city team. We wonder in silent awe at his audacity; how-ever, we understand that he is a College Freshman — that may ac-count for his lack of convention.

• • »

The cheering problem for the year has been solved. One moment of listening to the yelling of Hicks and Co. at the last game was enough to convince anyone of the superiority of that group. Boys, the apple dumpling is yours.

It is a pleasure — a very great great pleasure — to note that two members of our faculty are not Scotch. For fur ther information see the Junior who put up chairs or Mr. Laughlin.

* * «

Our representative in Copenha-gen informs us that Nurmi has turned pro. This takes one of the best distance men out of the ama-teur field and we sure hate to see him go. Professionalism seems to take the kick out of athletics be-cause we look down upon the fel-low that turns his athletic ability into money; and we admire the fel-low who turns his musical ability or any other ability into ready cash. Is our attitude really fa i r?

• • •

"Heinie" Steffens was selected as center on the second M. I. A. A. eleven. Martin, Japinga, Klay, and Cook were given honorable mention. There were some good results of the past football sea-son, it seems.

» • »

The basketball team will be leav-ing for their pre-Xmas trip in a few days. We certainly wish the boys lots of luck and hope that they won't be lost in the primitive wilds of Iowa.

ecstatic, the most beautifully con-structed of them all is the "Sensi-tive Plant," a delicate, fragile de-scription of human emotions. "And when evening descends from

the Heavens above. And the earth was all rest, and

the air was all love, And delight though less bright

was far more deep, And the day's veil fell from the

world of sleep. • • •

Then the pied-wind flowers, and the tulip tall

And narcissi, the fairest of them all,

Who gaze with their eyes on the stream's recess,

Till they die of their own sweet loveliness."

We wonder what we will find around the next bend — see, — there where the pine tree to.wers — and we wonder as we turn away what it is that the stream whispers to the pine as it washes against its roots, something delightful I know — and next time we come for a hike, perhaps we shall have time to stop and listen and so learn the secret.
