He was married to Adrianna Klaassen in 1856. Jacob and Adrianna had four children: Christian J., George, Mary (Mrs. Matthew Kolyn), and Mrs. James Ossewaarde. The children of Christian J., who was married to Johanna Bosch, were Jay, Harmon, Edward and Mrs. Margaret Vander Velde. The Den Herders became a prominent Zeeland, Michigan, family after Jacob founded the Den Herder Bank. It became the Zeeland State Bank and then First Michigan Bank in 1958. The Huntington Bank of Columbus, Ohio, acquired FMB in 1997. The Den Herders, as a prosperous clan, became involved in many Zeeland and Holland businesses. Christiaan Marinus Den Herder, son Jacob, and grandson Christian J., were amateur historians. Their papers include primarily memoirs and Zeeland local history. Nearly all of their papers are written in their native Dutch language.

Christian J. composed several essays of the history of the Sunday school of the First Reformed Church of Zeeland and instructional materials.

Kiko the Kangaroo first appeared in 1936 and was finished by 1937. It was one of many cartoon characters invented by Terrytoons. A Hollywood Animation Studio, Terrytoons was run by Paul Terry from 1916-1968. It was generally considered to be at the bargain-basement of cartoon manufacturing. It was low-quality, low-budget, mass-produced and always behind in new technologies for the sake of saving a penny. Yet, Terrytoon’s frugality kept it in business while others came and went. Many characters and cartoons were poor and quickly forgotten, but others including Mighty Mouse, Deputy Dawg, and Heckle and Jeckel became American icons. The rights to Terrytoons are now owned by the USA network.
Flip the Frog was MGM Studio’s first sound cartoon character. He was created by Ub Iwerks, the creators of Mickey Mouse. There is some debate as to whether Flip should receive some credit for first time innovations in the cartoon industry usually given to Mickey Mouse. Originally more Frog-Like, Flip took on more generic, toned-down featured. Created in 1930, this series ended in 1933.

Papers, 1938. 1 folder.
Ellen Jane Lorenz Porter led a wonderfully productive and varied life filled with creativity, self-improvement, and commitment to her passions. From age eight, when she began piano lessons, through the fall of 1996, where she was a vibrant member of a religion class, self-improvement was a constant goal. From age 13, the date of her first published composition, through November 1996, when she composed two pieces premiered at her memorial service, creativity was a constant companion. From her own introduction to handbells in 1955 through the revision of her “first significant bell composition” (her words), “Bell Jubilee,” first published in 1969, handbells was one of her passions. She he had many passions—poetry, essays, plays, education, and religion, to name just a few—but handbells remained one of her favorites. In fact, she was instrumental to the growing popularity of the idiom, being one of the early champions and creators for handbell music throughout the world. Ellen Jane joined the Lorenz Publishing Company in 1932 as editor-in-chief and was made a partner (third generation) in 1940. After her “retirement” in 1964, she pursued a Master in Music degree from Wittenberg University. Then, at the age of 71, she earned her Ph.D. in Sacred Music from Union Graduate School, and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Music from the University of Dayton. She also became an acknowledged world authority on handbells and hymnology, was active in numerous music and literary societies, and had literally thousands of published compositions to her credit. After a brief illness, she died on December 31, 1996. Those who were privileged to know her will miss her companionship very much. Those who knew her through her creativity or were touched by her passions will surely note the void. But all can celebrate her life as she celebrated living each day to the fullest.

Papers, 1943-1981. 0.50 linear ft.
Jack Schubert was an American chemist and Manhattan Project scientist. He was born on September 14, 1917, in Chicago, Illinois. He studied chemistry and mathematics at the University of Chicago, graduating in 1940. He then earned his Ph.D. there in 1944. In 1941, Schubert was working as an analytical chemist at the Charlestown Ordnance Works when he received a call from his graduate professor, Dr. G. E. Boyd, inviting him to participate in a secret defense project at the University of Chicago. Early the next year, Schubert joined the Metallurgical Laboratory as a “Research Chemist.” His analytical group was focused on chemical analyses of uranium oxide ore and devising methods for removing impurities. Schubert also spent extra time working on methods to extract and separate plutonium from irradiated uranium and fission products. He eventually decided to employ a procedure known as chromatography, which he had derived from his experience before the Manhattan Project. In late 1942, Schubert was tasked with establishing a micro analytical control lab at Metal Hydrides in Massachusetts. He and his team spent a few weeks at MIT and at the National Bureau of Standards in Washington. D.C. before setting up the lab, and by the time they returned to Chicago, Enrico Fermi had created the first sustained nuclear chain reaction. Schubert and the Met Lab plutonium absorption team were transferred to Oak Ridge in 1943, where they remained for the majority of the war. Schubert's team was kept separate from the uranium operation at Oak Ridge and instead worked on testing their Chicago methods on a pilot plant scale. In March of 1945, Schubert felt his team had accomplished its goals, so he returned to the University of Chicago to do biomedical research on the effects of atomic radiation. After the war, Schubert went on to have a long and successful career, working in numerous positions. In 1947, Schubert conducted radiochemical reports at Bikini Atoll, in the Marshall Islands, for the U.S. Navy. He also became a senior chemist at the Argonne National Lab in 1948. Throughout his career, he worked with the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), with the Argonne Lab, and with the Ford Foundation in Argentina. His scientific research has been published in numerous journals. He went on to become a professor, teaching at the University of Minnesota, the University of Chicago, the University of Frankfurt, and the University of Pittsburgh. Schubert also advocated for peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and for nuclear safety. In 1955, he served as a U.S. Delegate to the First International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, hosted in Geneva. Some of his research and academic papers focused on nuclear safety, radiation and its effects on humans and the environment, surface chemistry, metal poisoning, methods of removing radioactive contamination, and nuclear fallout hazards. He wrote over 100 scientific publications and patents. In 1977, Schubert joined the faculty at Hope College as one of the founders of the environmental health sciences courses taught in the biology and chemistry departments. While at Hope College, Schubert and Dr. S. Krogh Derr succeeded in completely removing radioactive plutonium and other non-radioactive metal from the bodies of test animals in 1978. Schubert left Hope College in 1980 to continue his research at the University of Maryland. He passed away in 2007. The collection contains biographical information and his collected written works from 1954-1971.

The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991) was a conflict between Iraq and a coalition force of approximately 30 nations led by the United States and mandated by the United Nations in order to liberate Kuwait. The conflict is known by numerous alternative names that reflect the historical, political, and journalistic views of different groups and regions. These include Gulf War, Persian Gulf War, War in the Gulf, 1990 Gulf War, Gulf War Sr. or First Gulf War (to distinguish it from the 2003 Iraq War), Second Gulf War (to distinguish it from the Iran-Iraq War), Liberation of Kuwait, War of Kuwait and Mother of Battles. Operation Desert Storm was the U.S. name of the airland operations and is often used to refer to the conflict. The war began with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990, following Iraqi contentions that Kuwait was illegally slant-drilling petroleum across Iraq’s border. The invasion was met with immediate economic sanctions by the United Nations against Iraq. Hostilities commenced in January 1991, resulting in a decisive victory for the coalition forces, which drove Iraqi forces out of Kuwait with minimal coalition deaths. Aerial and ground combat was confined to Iraq, Kuwait and bordering areas of Saudi Arabia. Iraq also launched missiles against targets in Saudi Arabia and Israel. The collection contains correspondence from soldiers to Judy Voss and her sons, involved in the Gulf War between 1990-1991. Correspondents include Congressman Fred Upton, William L.

He sold his house and started a small factory on Washington Avenue in Holland, Michigan. Slikkers began experimenting with a new material called fiberglass in 1955. Within three years, the company put a few of the boats into production and, in 1961, stopped building with wood completely. In 1969, Slikkers sold Slickcraft to the AMF Corporation.

Within ten years, S2 was one of the top five sailboat manufacturers in the United States, known for building quality cruising vessels, as well as racing boats.

Records, 1888-1985. 9.00 linear ft.
The First Reformed Church of Muskegon had its origins in the Sunday gatherings of the early Dutch settlers to the area in the 1850s. The oldest reformed church in Muskegon, this RCA congregation was organized on June 22, 1859, after official meetings for a church organization by the Rev. P. J. Oggel and Elder J. Mieras, appointed by the Classis of Holland, Michigan. An early election disruption of Consistorymen in 1862 was serious enough to call upon the Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte to settle. Rev. W. A. Houbolt from Albany, New York, became the first pastor of the church in 1863, and a new church building was erected shortly afterward in 1866. The church building was ready for use on October 23, 1866, and was enlarged in 1873. The first church council consisted of the elders Nikolaas Zuidema and Jakob de Haas and the deacons Gerrit Nanninga and Isaac Brandt, who were chosen on the day of organization. By 1895, a Christian Endeavor Society was active from within the church. A church organ was installed in 1900. An English-speaking service first occurred in 1891, but a weekly English service wasn’t established until 1913. By 1920, services were conducted in Dutch and English on alternate weekends. The church often contended with Unity Reformed and Third Reformed Church, both of Muskegon, for members. Regular building and improvements insured a modern, American atmosphere of worship. One of the largest projects was a new church building which was completed in 1951.
This collection consists of books, booklets, hymnbooks, Bibles, workbooks and objects of the First Reformed Church of Muskegon, Michigan. Includes materials from associated Reformed Church colleges and organizations. Also included are financial reports, programs, and photographs (framed and unframed).

H96-1279. Village of Douglas.
Records, 1864-2002. 3.25 linear ft.
One business day required for collection retrieval – please contact archivist.
The land on which Douglas lies was previously inhabited by Pottawatomie Indians. In 1851, Jonathan Wade built the first house in the area of what became the failed city of Singapore. Wade, however, named his town Dudleyville, after his brother from Canada. Other early white settlers included William Scoville and Robert McDonald. Of more influence was William Dutcher, who purchased land in the area and officially platted it, naming it Dutchville. Later, Wade sold a portion of land to Dutcher in 1861 and the city was replatted and re-named again, apparently at the suggestion of other settlers, who had since moved there. Eventually, by decision at a town meeting, the town was named after the American Statesman, Stephen A. Douglas. It also appears, however, that Wade’s nephew, Col. Fred May, who came from Douglas on the Isle of Man, also suggested the same name. A debate about the origin of the village’s name continues but the most likely explanation for the name involved a combination of these two sources above. The town was incorporated as a village in 1870.
The collection consists of materials relating to the history of the Village of Douglas in Allegan County, Michigan. Included are newspaper clippings, ordinances, council proceedings (minutes), registration lists for elections, a history paper by Larry J. Wagenaar, property tax assessment records, and records of the village treasurer and clerk. Also includes a copy of a map of the village in 1864 and an oversized street-layout map from 1961.

Records, 2002-[ongoing]. 0.25 linear ft.
In 1996, the knowledge that an African-American family had moved out of the community because they were not welcome or accepted spurred 18 concerned lakeshore residents to meet for the first time, determined to transform acceptance of racial and ethnic diversity into effective action for racial harmony. With the intent to address racial intolerance, dismantle racial barriers, celebrate diversity and empower residents already accepting of racial/ethnic diversity, they founded the North Ottawa Ethnic Diversity Alliance (NOEDA), a grassroots, volunteer-driven non-profit organization based in the Tri-Cities communities of Grand Haven, Ferrysburg and Spring Lake. Within two years, NOEDA’s programming expanded to meet identified needs in other communities along the Ottawa County lakeshore, including Holland, Muskegon, and rural areas where the cultural isolation of the 6,000 agricultural migrants who work and live on Ottawa County farms every year got little attention. Renamed the Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance (LEDA) to reflect its broader focus, the organization hired a full-time executive director and office staff in January 1999. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with tax-exempt status, LEDA is supported entirely by individual and corporate donations and foundation grants. Today, LEDA has a diverse membership representing a broad cross-section of interests and cultures, with more than 200 volunteers working on racial healing initiatives throughout the county, and 3000 residents receiving the organization’s biannual newsletter. The Lakeshore Ethnic Diversity Alliance seeks to dismantle racial, socioeconomic, and institutional barriers to ensure that people of all ethnic backgrounds have equal access and opportunity to participate fully in the life of the community. Dismantling the pervasive social barriers that keep people of color from enjoying access and equal opportunity to fully participate in the community, and promoting acceptance of the richness of diversity continue to be the basis of LEDA activities and services. Collection includes newspaper clippings, postcard mailings and newsletter (now archived on their website: www.ethnicdiversity.org).

Efforts to enhance the image of Hope College, raise funds and recruit students began as soon as the institution was founded. Readers should see Wynand Wichers’ book A Century of Hope for a history of the earliest efforts to raise funds and recruit students. The first fund raising effort documented in this collection was the Een-Dracht Maakt Macht (Eendracht) drive in the 1890s, which aimed to raise funds for the general endowment of Hope College, Western Theological Seminary, and Northwestern Classical Academy. The Rev. James F. Zwemer led this successful drive to raise $100,000, of which Hope College received $50,000. This drive set the stage for what Wynand Wichers called “a new and vital era” in the history of the college, after many years of struggle for survival.
The presidency of Gerrit J. Kollen saw successful efforts to raise funds for new campus buildings, including Graves Hall, Van Raalte Hall, Carnegie Gymnasium, and Voorhees Hall. Kollen also undertook efforts to build the endowment, efforts he continued after his retirement from the presidency. By 1913, his efforts had built the endowment up to $451,000. President Kollen was also active in student recruitment, placing student recruitment advertising and publishing, about 1908, perhaps the first and the oldest surviving example of a promotional brochure about Hope College entitled Story of Hope College.
President Ame Vennema continued Kollen’s efforts to build the endowment fund, raising the fund to $518,000 by 1916, and worked hard to increase congregational benevolence for operational needs. His administration did not neglect student recruitment. Surviving in the collection is a student recruitment “post card” and leaflet.
President Edward D. Dimnent sought to increase individual and church support for the college in an era when operating budgets rose sharply and income was not keeping pace with the growing needs of the college. In 1920, he discontinued the practice of collecting contingent fees and instituted tuition charges for the first time in the history of the college. Dimnent succeeded in raising funds for the construction of the Memorial Chapel, later renamed Dimnent Memorial Chapel. Encouraging high school graduates to attend college was also a concern, as documented in this collection.
Wynand Wichers began his presidency as the United States was sinking into the great Depression. Through budget cuts, including a 10 percent reduction in faculty salaries and federal student employment programs, the college survived. The endowment fund, which was invested in federal and state bonds and real estate securities, lost money during the Depression. A change in the by-laws making it possible to invest in corporate securities proved successful, increasing the endowment to $789,000 by 1938. As finances improved, the Wichers administration in 1939 launched the Science Building Campaign, a major fund raising campaign to raise $250,000 for a new science building. There was no substantial loss in enrollment during the Depression and, after a short reversal, enrollment increased. The Wichers administration published a slick student recruitment brochure, the first since the Kollen presidency, and the first of a day in the life of Hope College brochures.
In 1941, Hope celebrated its 75th anniversary. It was highlighted by a visit to Holland and Hope by Princess Juliana of the Netherlands and an issue of the Reformed Church journal The Intelligencer-Leader devoted to Hope College. The Army Specialized Training Program was brought to Hope’s campus in 1943, and the Wichers administration published a brochure about the ASTP at Hope.
The presidency of Irwin J. Lubbers saw tremendous growth in enrollment, from about 400 students in the fall of 1945, to 1571 by the fall of 1963, caused at first by World War II veterans attending college under the GI Bill, and later by population growth and changing economic conditions in the country. Under President Lubbers, the college was active in student recruitment, publishing several student recruitment brochures. Campus facilities were greatly expanded to properly serve the current student body and to accommodate projected enrollment demands, including the construction of Durfee, Nykerk, Kollen, Van Zoeren, Phelps, and Gilmore Halls, and a heating plant; a fraternity complex (now Scott, Cosmopolitan, Lichty and Wyckoff Halls); and the renovation of Carnegie Gymnasium and Graves Hall. Soon after Lubbers retired, construction began on a Physics-Mathematics building (now Vander Werf Hall). The expansion of the college required increased need for funding. Various appeals were made to alumni, friends of the college, and the Reformed church. In 1951, the Century of Service Campaign was announced to fund a men’s residence hall, a fine arts building, renovate Carnegie Gymnasium, utilize the Van Raalte homestead, and build endowment. It was followed by a campaign to update the Carnegie Gymnasium in 1954, and the Reformed Church Eendracht Campaign of 1955. The campaigns brought in needed funds, but it was also necessary to borrow money, at first from private lenders and later through the federal government, to complete projects.
Following a survey by Marts & Lundy, Inc. of its financial needs, the college undertook a major fund raising campaign called Looking Ahead with Hope. A goal of $3 million was set, $1 million of which was to be raised by the Reformed Church in America, and $2 million by the college from alumni, parents and friends. By February 1, 1962, Hope College had exceeded its part of the goal, raising $2,216,117.
Calvin A. Vander Werf became president of Hope College in 1963 and quickly undertook efforts to develop the college. Responding to increasing competition for freshmen, he quickly expanded the admissions program and staff. A decision was made to increase enrollment and hire more faculty. His administration published several student recruitment brochures and produced an audio tour of Hope College entitled This is the Voice of Hope. By the fall of 1969, enrollment had increased to 2,071. Faculty salaries were increased and the student-faculty ratio substantially decreased. Increasing enrollment brought the need to plan for future campus growth. A new ten-year campus development master plan was developed and announced in 1966 envisioning a new science building, a student cultural-social center, a major addition to the music building, and a residence facility.
To achieve the master plan required major fund raising efforts. Ford, O’Hara and Associates were retained to conduct a study of Hope College and its development techniques and objectives. In 1964, they recommended a continuous, organized development effort run by a trained staff and a trained public relations director to skillfully inform the public about the college. In 1966, Vander Werf announced the creation of a Department of Development for increasing financial support of the college. During the Vander Werf Presidency, Hope received several major gifts and grants for the support of its programs and campus development projects. Alumni giving to the annual fund increased ten times, and the Second Century Club was created to recognize exceptionally devoted alumni and friends.
President Vander Werf resigned in the summer of 1970, and William Vander Lugt was named to head the college as Chancellor until a new president was selected. As he assumed leadership of the college, construction of Wichers Auditorium, an addition to the Nykerk Hall of Music was being completed, and construction of the De Witt Center was under way.
Fund raising for college development continued under Vander Lugt and later President Gordon Van Wylen with the Build Hope campaign of 1971-1976. This campaign had a goal of $8,850,000 to complete funding of a new science building, renovate the 1941 science building to house the social science and humanities departments, complete funding for the De Witt Center, construction of a new physical education building, renovate the former Rusk Company building as a art center, and provide funds for additional scholarships, faculty development, student residences, and environmental science programs. The campaign was announced in the fall of 1972 as Gordon Van Wylen assumed the presidency and as construction was beginning on the Peale Science Center. When Build Hope officially closed in December 1976, it had raised $10,407,690.
The expansion of Phelps Hall dining and kitchen facilities and the restoration of Van Vleck Hall became the college’s next campus development projects, and a decision was made to renovate Voorhees Hall, which had been closed for 11 years, and return it to use as a dormitory. Special fund raising campaigns were conducted to provide funding for each of the three projects.
In April 1980, fire destroyed Van Raalte Hall. In February 1981, after a study of campus needs, a new campus master plan was adopted which called for the renovation of De Witt Center as a student, administrative and cultural center; the conversion of the recently acquired Sligh Furniture Factory into an art center; construction of a Center for Education and Economics & Business Administration; construction of an apartment-style residence hall; expansion of the library; and providing the campus with a new computing center.
A fund raising campaign, Campus Development in the ‘80s, was announced with a goal of $6,700,000. It was announced that planning would continue on the library expansion and computing center projects, and a self-liquidating financing plan would be used to build the apartment-style residence hall. The effort provided funding to renovate the Sligh factory into the De Pree Art Center and Gallery at a cost of $1.8 million, demolition of the Carnegie-Schouten Gym, and the expansion and remodeling of De Witt Center at a cost of $3.5 million, and needed renovations to other campus buildings, including building a computer center in Durfee Hall.
As planning for the library expansion project continued and options were considered, it became clear that the best option was to construct a new library east of the Van Zoeren library on College Avenue and renovate Van Zoeren for academic use. A much more ambitious fund raising campaign would be needed. In 1985, The Campaign for Hope, with a goal of $26 million was announced. Twelve million would be used to fund construction of a new library (Van Wylen Library), renovation of Van Zoeren and Vander Werf Halls, and construct a conference center (Maas Student and Conference Center). The remaining $14 million would be used to build endowment. The Campaign for Hope reached its goal by October 1986, and concluded in June 1987 after raising $31,689,167.
Under President Van Wylen’s leadership, Hope College worked to build its endowment, improve the breadth and quality of its academic program, and attract a high quality student body. The endowment grew from $2,352,383 in 1972 to $19,574,000 in June 1987. Van Wylen’s goals in student recruitment were to maintain a stable enrollment, recruit students who would succeed in the academic programs of the college, and to increase diversity in the student body. A wide variety of general advancement and student recruitment brochures were produced during the Van Wylen presidency. The student body grew from 2,124 in 1972-73 to 2,545 in 1986-87.
When John H. Jacobson, Jr. became president of Hope College in 1987, a goal was set to look at the college and lead it into new areas of service and excellence, while maintaining a strong continuity with the past. He initiated a strategic planning process in which some 125 volunteers – faculty, staff, alumni and parents – met to consider where Hope College should be going in the decade of the ‘90s and beyond. One of the overriding needs that surfaced from this strategic planning process was to build endowment, and the Hope in the Future campaign grew out of the planning process. A goal of $50 million was set for this campaign, with most of the funds raised earmarked for endowment, including $22,750,000 for enhancing the academic program, $3,250,000 to strengthen Christian life and witness, $16,000,000 for financial aid, and $8,000,000 for improving campus facilities. The campaign was announced to the public in January 1992. It exceeded its goal in December 1993 and wrapped-up on June 30, 1994, having raised $58.1 million. Its results included three new endowed faculty chairs, the Hinga-Boersma Dean of the Chapel, the A. C. Van Raalte Institute, 88 new endowed scholarships, Lugers Fieldhouse, DeWitt Tennis Center, Cook Hall and Haworth Conference and Learning Center. Total endowment funds reached $53 million at the end of the campaign. Jacobson continued his efforts to increase endowment following the close of the campaign. Upon his retirement in June 1999, total endowment had reached $105,950,287.
President Jacobson saw a world which was becoming increasingly international and multi-cultural and felt all students would be well served by an education that gave them a familiarity with and understanding of people of other cultures. He worked to increase the pool of financial aid available to Hope students and to increase the economic, ethnic and racial diversity among Hope students, while continuing to enroll the most capable students. Both applications for enrollment and the academic achievement level of applicants increased during the 1990s, leading to deliberations on the desirable size of the college, and a goal of not more than 3,000 full-time equivalent students. During Jacobson’s last year as president, total enrollment reached 2,920.
During the 1996-97 academic year, the college drafted and approved A Vision of Hope, a vision statement for Hope College over the next 25 years. Conversations surrounding the development of the statement made clear the college was facing some immediate needs, including additional science facilities, improved facilities for other academic and athletic programs, and a substantial increase in endowment. Efforts to raise funds to meet these needs were approved by the Board in 1998 and began quietly under President Jacobson and continued under the leadership of President James E. Bultman as the Legacies: A Vision of Hope campaign. At $85 million, the largest fund raising campaign in the history of the college, the campaign includes a $36 million expansion and renovation of Peale Science Center, a $30 million increase in endowment to provide additional funds for scholarships, faculty chairs, faculty research, scientific equipment and library resources, and $19 million for several campus expansion and renovation projects, including building a proposed Martha Miller Center for the departments of dance, communication, and modern/classical languages. In March 2001, President Bultman announced a $7.5 million gift from the Richard and Helen DeVos Foundation, and a second campaign to raise an additional $7.5 million to fund a 3,500-seat athletic facility to be owned and operated by Hope College. At its January 2002 meeting, the Board of Trustees authorized an increase in the scope of the Legacies campaign from $85 million to $105 million by adding the De Vos Fieldhouse project to the overall campaign.
In May 2014, the Advancement Office name was changed to Development and Alumni Engagement division.
The Development and Alumni Engagement collection contains brochures, pamphlets, posters, advertising, correspondence, newsletters, newspaper supplements, recordings and videos published or produced to enhance the public image of Hope College, raise funds, develop the campus or recruit students. Unpublished correspondence, records, studies, photos and film cores relating to these activities are also included. The contents are arranged first chronologically by the presidential administration during which an item was produced, and then topically within the presidency. Unfortunately, only a small number of items published or produced prior to the 1950s survive. These are grouped together in folders by presidential administration. Starting with the Lubbers presidency, the number of surviving items increases dramatically. These materials are arranged by topic, such as fund raising, student recruitment, etc. Some brochures and pamphlets were multi-purpose, useful for public relations, fund raising, and student recruitment. These items are included under the topic general college advancement.
This collection contains some interesting historical documents and publications. There are some interesting historical items on Van Vleck Hall. The oldest fund raising items, from 1890, are a pledge and receipt from the Een-Dracht Maakt Macht (Unity Is Strength) campaign for Hope College, Western Theological Seminary and North Western Academy. The Rev. Dirk Scholten, an 1893 Hope College graduate, serving a church in rural Luctor, Kansas, where everyone except the storekeeper and the minister lived in sod houses, pledged $100 to the campaign. A small brochure, entitled Story of Hope College published by the Kollen Administration about 1908, is the oldest surviving Hope College student recruitment brochure. Earlier student recruitment efforts included published articles on the value of an education. An example of these efforts, an article entitled “The Choice of an Education” by President Charles Scott published in The Anchor in April 1889, is in the collection. An example of student recruitment advertising from the Kollen presidency is in the Wynand Wichers collection (H88-0200); a photocopy is in this collection. The Vennema and Dimnent presidencies produced several interesting fund raising and student recruitment publications that have survived. These include a student recruitment card and a general information leaflet about the college, an early version of today’s campus visitor guide pamphlet, from the Vennema years, and a 1921 student recruitment letter from the Dimnent years.
A new version of The Story of Hope College was published during Wynand Wichers presidency and is included in this collection. Also, from the Wichers years, is a brochure entitled A Day at Hope College, the first publication of its type, some fund raising brochures from the science building campaign, and a brochure about the World War II ASTP program at Hope. The Wynand Wichers collection (H88-0200) contains some records about fund raising during his administration. Extensive records and documents from the fund raising campaign for the 1941 science building, now Lubbers Hall, are in a separate collection—Science Building Campaign (H88-0270). For records and documents about the 1941 visit of Princess Juliana to Hope College, see the Royal Family of the Netherlands collection, (H88-0082.1). Records and documents about the World War II era ASTP program at Hope are in the Military Training Programs collection (H88-0266).
Extensive fund raising records, photographs and brochures survive from the Lubbers presidency, especially from the Looking Ahead with Hope campaign. Materials from the Lubbers presidency’s efforts to expand and renovate the campus are included in the collection. Starting with the Lubbers presidency, researchers should also see the Office of the President collection (H90-1088) for additional materials on campus development and fund raising. Several student recruitment brochures were published during the Lubbers years, including the first on specific academic programs. Brochures from this era tended to be larger and better attention-grabbers than earlier examples. They continued to use black and white photography, but made more use of colored inks. Also included from the Lubbers years are the survey questionnaires from the 1957 Siedentop Survey of Alumni, in which those surveyed evaluate the education they received at Hope College.
Of interest from the Vander Werf presidency is an evaluation of Hope College’s development and public relations techniques by Ford, O’Hara and Associates. Brochures, a feasibility study and case statement for the Build Hope campaign are included. Several student recruitment brochures from this era survive. They were small format and continued to use black and white photographs with colored inks. The Vander Werf presidency produced a student recruitment audio presentation entitled This is the Voice of Hope. A general college advancement pamphlet with some color photography was produced in 1965, following the visit of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands to Holland and Hope College. It was the first use of color photography in a Hope College brochure.
Extensive records, reports and brochures from the Van Wylen presidency’s Campaign for Hope fund raising effort are included in this collection, including the philanthropic market study done by Donald A. Campbell & Co. preceding the campaign. Extensive records from the fund raising efforts to renovate Voorhees Hall are also included. More limited materials survive from other Van Wylen presidency fund raising campaigns such as Campus Development in the ‘80s. Fund raising brochures for major campaigns became folders of several brochures, with eye-catching color photography on the covers. Starting with the Campaign for Hope, the college started to produce a video presentation about the fund raising campaign. These videotape presentations are included in the collection. Extensive news clippings and records from the campus development projects funded by these campaigns are included in this collection. The Van Wylen presidency produced a wide variety of student recruitment brochures and materials that are included in this collection. Some brochures used color photography. Of note is a series of scenic brochures (written by Hope students) and scenic posters, several publications about student lifestyle, including one entitled A Day in the Life of Hope College published in 1977, and brochures targeted at specific audiences such as black students. Examples of the Hope College Perspectives newsletter and videotapes used in student recruitment are included. About 1980, Hope College may have produced a film (or films) entitled either Signs of Hope or Thoughts from Hope. A print of the completed film(s) has not been located; however, the film cores still exist and are included in the collection. A film entitled Legacies of Hope College was produced in 1983 and may have been made from these film cores. A print of this film is included in the collection. For information on the Van Raalte Hall fire of April 1980 and its aftermath, see the Van Raalte Hall Fire collection, H01-1424.5.
The collection includes extensive records, reports and case statements from the Jacobson presidency’s Hope in the Future fund raising campaign, and the strategic planning task forces and survey effort that preceded the campaign. Campaign videotapes are in the collection, however, a campaign brochure has not been located for the collection. The Jacobson years did see the college publishing several eye-catching full-color photography visitor guides and student recruitment brochures, some in very large page-size format, certainly the most impressive ever produced. Two student recruitment videotapes from the Jacobson years are included. The collection continues to grow with the addition of some fund raising and student recruitment brochures from the Bultman presidency and the Legacies: A Vision of Hope campaign.

H13-1848. REACH Program (Research Experiences Across Cultures at Hope College).
Records, 2010. 1 folder.
The goals of the REACH program are four-fold. First, they aim to provide hands-on, high-quality and closely-mentored research opportunities for Holland area high school students and teachers in order to engage them in the excitement of scientific discovery. Secondly, by offering at least half of the REACH summer research positions to students from underrepresented groups that they hope will go on to study science or math at the college level, they aim to increase the diversity of students at Hope. Thirdly, by offering professional development opportunities for all of the REACH student participants, they aim to give them valuable information about college and careers that will encourage them to pursue science in college and beyond. Lastly, by working closely with Holland area students, parents, teachers, school administrators and business leaders, they aim to improve the communication and educational opportunities between Holland area students and teachers and Hope College faculty, staff and students. Hope College created the Research Experiences Across Cultures at Hope (REACH) program in the fall of 2005 in order to build on the existing strengths of Hope’s undergraduate research programs by providing opportunities for high school students and teachers to do research alongside Hope faculty members and undergraduates in the Natural and Applied Sciences Division. In particular, the creation of the REACH program is one of Hope’s recent efforts to increase the diversity of students studying math and science at Hope. Many Hope faculty members, students and staff worked hard to support the twenty-nine high school students and two teachers that have participated in the REACH program in the first three summers. The collection contains a book on the Summer 2010 program. (R)
H88-0384. Religion Department.
Records, 1967-2011. 10.50 linear ft.
Hope College has instructed students in religion since its incorporation as a liberal arts institution in 1866. Initially considered a theology department, its instructors worked closely with both Hope’s professors of philosophy and Western Theological Seminary’s professors of theology to teach classes. Coursework included classical languages, church history, theology, and biblical studies. In 1877, Hope suspended instruction in the department in order to focus funds towards other areas of the college. Religion courses started again in 1884, but only one course was taught to each year of students. Its instructors, called the Bible and Philosophy Department, did not have a central mission or structured catalog of courses within Hope until the late nineteenth century, in 1895. The two disciplines finally split into two departments in 1922. Following the end of the World Wars, enrollment at Hope and in the Religion Department increased. The department hired more full-time faculty to accommodate student interest. Although there was great demand for religion courses and they were required within general education guidelines, students could not major in religion until 1964. Beginning in 1966, Hope began to hire professors specializing in a wider variety of subjects within the spectrum of religion: church history, theology, biblical literature, ethics, and more. The department graduated several students each year, and invited several temporary professors, scholarship donors, and guest lecturers to Hope between the 1970s and the early 2000s. It continues to instruct students on a diverse assortment of religious and ethical topics today. The collection contains the minutes, meeting notes, correspondence and other records of the Hope College Religion Department. It includes video and audio recordings of speeches from the Danforth Lecture Series, as well as informational materials on classes, enrollment, scholarship awards, papers, and departmental reviews.

Hope had been involved in Yugoslav studies since 1966, and the term grew from these studies. By 1982, the term had evolved to focus on one general theme for scholarly pursuits per term, such as religion (1982), and effects of the Holocaust on consciences and attitudes of the area (1983). In 1986, the Yugoslavia May Term was combined with the Mediterranean May Term. In 1987, the term was rebranded, again, this time as the Mediterranean-Yugoslavia May Term. Professor Nancy Taylor of the Hope College English Department and Professor Nikola Koljevic of the Sarajevo English Department succeed Petrovich as the heads of the program. The collection includes almost four thousand photographs of students and scenes from the Yugoslavia May Term throughout its history, as well as other related papers and information, including some written by Hope College professors and students.

H88-0421. YMCA and YWCA
Records, 1883-1972. 2.00 linear ft.
The Hope College Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) was organized in 1878. In 1901, the Hope College Young Woman’s Christian Association (YWCA) was organized. These two organizations sponsored most of the social and religious activities of the college for many years. They conducted Bible and mission study classes, and conducted Sunday school classes for residents of rural areas around Holland. In 1961, the Ys became the Student Christian Association (SCA). In 1966, the SCA was disbanded and replaced by the Student Christian Coordinating Committee. This collection contains minute books for the YMCA dating back as far as 1884, and for the YWCA dating back as far as 1901. Unfortunately, some minute books are missing, and at least one is disorganized, with minutes from a later period proceeding minutes from an earlier period. There is some correspondence and reports of activities from 1883-1960. Unfortunately, most of this material did not survive. The activities folders contain some listings of topics and programs as well as cards with the Hope YW Girl’s Creed and the Purpose of YWCA. The collection contains photographs of the Ys Holland area Sunday school programs in 1925, a revised YMCA constitution from 1937, and materials from the deputation program from the late 1940s. Some of the correspondence from 1947-1960 is about the deputation program. Schedules and programs for the annual variously named Prayer Week or Religious Emphasis Week or Spiritual Life Week for 1916-1917, 1930-1937, 1940-1941, 1945-1959 and 1961-1964 are in the collection. Several issues of the Ys Publication Y-Fore from 1936-1951 are in the collection. The collection will not be enough to provide a full history of the Ys at Hope College. Researchers who wish to learn more about the Ys at Hope will also need to search Hope College publications such as the Hope College Anchor.

H88-0430. Opus.
1954-ongoing. 3.00 linear ft.
Opus is Hope College’s bi-annual creative arts publication. Serving as a showcase for Hope students’ poetry, short stories, and art, Opus has undergone many changes in format and content since its conception. Most notably, it began to include photography in 1957 and shifted from full page to booklet size. Throughout the years, Opus’s conflict with the college administration in fighting censorship and with students in defending submission standards has affected much of its history, but Opus has also played an important role in the arts at the college, initially working with the Fine Arts Festival and later hosting its own artistic forums and readings. It was from these events that Jack Ridl, a former faculty advisor for the Opus staff, formed the Hope College Visiting Writer’s Series, a popular program on Hope’s campus even today. The collection is an anthology of prose, poetry, music, and art; background information, clippings and correspondence.

Hope College has established Outreach, a diversity journal focused on proactively sharing the message of the accomplishments, progress and challenges in making the college a more diverse institution of higher learning. Outreach is distributed to a growing number of alumni, parents, friends, donors, foundations and corporations who are interested in the issues of diversity in higher education in general, and the priority that diversity has among the college leadership and within Hope’s strategic plan specifically. Outreach is the first-ever publication at Hope devoted to the intentional communication of diversity and inclusion. Published by the Office of College Advancement, the journal’s editorial team consists of an interdepartmental team with responsibilities in advancement, alumni relations, public relations and multicultural education: Eric K. Foster, advancement officer for diversity and inclusion and editor-in-chief of Outreach; Jason Cash, campaign associate for college advancement; Alfredo Gonzales, associate provost and dean for multicultural and international education; Vanessa Greene, director of multicultural education; Greg Olgers, director of news media services and managing editor of "News from Hope College"; Mary Remenschneider, director of alumni and parent relations; and Scott Wolterink, vice president for college advancement. Hilary Bosscher ‘08, student communications assistant, was instrumental in the development and production of the first issue. Taylor Hughes ‘09, student communications assistant and David Moore ‘10, student communications assistant worked on volume 2. Along with profiles, Outreach will convey for readers the notable goals for College Advancement to secure endowed funds for a variety of diversity initiatives. Those goals and needs range from providing more opportunities for Hope students to study abroad in addition to obtaining funds for attracting more international students to Hope; to securing endowed funds for scholarships; to increasing support from foundations and corporations that enable the improvement of academic programs and the institutional commitment to diversity.

H06-1607.1. Knickerbocker Theatre.
1909-[ongoing]. 0.25 linear ft.
Dedicated in 1911 at 86 East 8th Street, the Knickerbocker, which translates to “best in life,” has hosted a great number of events, from vaudeville acts in the 1920s and 1930s to rock concerts in the 1980s. In the early days, dancers, orchestras, elephants, magicians and Chautauqua plays all graced its stage. While serving as Secretary of the Navy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt even gave a speech there. The Knickerbocker, as it was named and carved upon its face to this day, was built by local businessmen Tierman Slagh and Arend Smith. The three-story building, made of brick and stone, replaced one that had burned years before at an unknown location. On its scheduled opening night, March 1, 1911, tragedy struck the Holland community. Before the opening date, co-owner Tierman Slagh was killed while hanging the electric sign of the newly completed theatre. The theatre remained dark, and unopened, until September of that same year. The theatre was finally opened in November of that year, under new management. The Knickerbocker has undergone several changes in ownership in its history, with the highest concentration of ownership turnover in its first twenty years. The theatre was acquired by Hope College in 1988 from Goodrich Theaters, and has since played a major role in Hope College’s cultural offerings through lectures, art films, concerts, musical and stage performances, and assemblies for students, faculty and staff. The collection contains administrative materials, a brochure, event brochures/programs and clippings, the Knickerbocker newsletter, and a mission statement/policies/programming description.

The Gold family is further notable for Mary Jayne Gold’s WW II involvement (with Varian Fry) in aiding European Jews to emigrate and to escape Nazi persecution. The collection includes photographs, journals, and correspondence relating to Marigold Lodge and the Gold family; the lodge library list; plans and blueprints for a greenhouse; a 1915 assessment of Egbert H. Gold’s health that is a remarkable look at medicine in the nation’s post-Progressive age; a 16mm film of Samuel (Dick) and Bunny Gold’s wedding, and the family obituaries and the memorial service speech and will for Mary Jayne Gold. There is also the lodge dedication speech (1985), pictorial guidebooks, and recent articles.

(This is the story of what the lighter side of life in the early days of the 20th century in Holland, Michigan. Mr. Clarence De Graaf (1901- ), Mrs. Marion Stryker (1909- ), Mr. Nelson Bosman (1906- ), and Miss Minnie Nyenhuis (1883- ) relive the ways they entertained and enjoyed themselves in the days before motors and machines. They tell of the “big events”: the time William Jennings Bryan came to town, plays in Carnegie Gym put on by traveling troupes, and 4th of July celebrations. But they also tell of the smaller happenings in their lives: evenings at home when the neighbors stopped by, family reunions and church potluck picnics. This sound picture of past Holland social life was made possible with the financial support of the Hope College Communication Department). (HOPE AUDIO CASSETTE)
