HOPE ACCEPTED AS MEMBER IN

THE M. I. A. A.

VITAL TOPICS ARE THE SUBJECTS OF

Y. M. MEETINGS

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE AKKANiiEl); ALSO FIELD MEET AND

TOURNAMENTS

The "consummation devoutly to be wished" has finally taken place. Hope College has been received Into full mem-bership In the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

On Friday, December 3. Coach Jack Schouten, Professor Winter, and Nell VanOostcnberg Journeyed to Albion, whore they met with the representatives Oi the other colleges In the Association and received official announcement that Hope's application for membership had br?n considered and favorably voted on.

Schedules In several of the leading de-partments of sports were arranged at the same meeting. The basket ball schedule fo;* this season was completed. During nsxt year's football season our team will stack up against such prominent teams a-. Alma and Hillsdale. Track schedules, Cross-country runs and Tennis tourna-ments have also been arranged.

Other important business was the con-sideration of Freshmen Rules in Inter-collegiate sports. One provision of these rules is that freshmen may not compete in the major sports of Intercollegiate athletics. The rules were tabled with the probability of being passed early in 1927.

The recent action at Albion promises a larger future for Sports at Hope Col-lege. Coach Schouten and the Athletic Board are to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts. It is now up to the whole student body and faculty to make good on the challenge that is held out to us. It is now no longer the challenge of individual teams but the clHrtlcngc oi" the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association that calls for the best that is in us. . In order to win a re-spectable place in the association we must have THE BEST of co-peratlon be-tween the administration and the athle-tic department. THE BEST coaching, THE BEST men of the whole student body for the teams, and THE BEST POS-SIBLE SUPPORT FROM EVERY STU-DENT. EVERYONE must take up this challenge to give Hope a place of honor in the M. I. A. A.

John Mulder, member of the Junior Class .headed the discussion on "Freely Yo Have Received" at the annual Thanksgiving meeting of the Y. M. C. A. held Nov. 23. Delving into the history of Thanksgiving the leader stated that Governor Braddock issued the first Thanksgiving proclamation some 305 years ago and to Lincoln goes the credit oi" declaring the first National Thanks-giving Day In 1864. In concluding the historical phase he read President Cool-Idge's proclamation for 1926.

Mr. Mulder's very excellent address can bo thus summed up: People receive blessings in abundance and blessings without merit; and. they can express their appreciation of these by living thankful lives, that is. sharing the bless-ings with others, and by offering prayers oi thanksgiving. He made this remark-able statement: "We always express our thanks to human hosts, so we surely ought to express our thanks to the host of the universe."

Previous to the discussion by the chairman of the evening Jacob Pelon gave the reading "Compensation."

November ' s last e v e n i n g for the

year 1926 found a large number of

t h e co l lege men at t h e weekly "Y"

meet ing . W. Ooms led the discus-

s ion of the ass igned topic. "If Jesus

Would Come to Our Campus?" Mr.

Ooms handled the subject wi th the

idea in the background that the audi-

ence was to suppose that Jesus would

c o m e for a period of t ime to in-

ves t igate our c a m p u s and then go

back .

"Daddy Bill" asked this quest ion:

"If Jesus were with us right here

would your heart and mine go out to

Him, wou ld your lips and mine s ing

praises?" He c la imed that our s tudent

body, so richly blessed with rel igious

influence, suffered f r o m the perils of

a deadening famil iar i ty with Jesus

and of lukewarmness . He said that

s tudents are trying to find a middle

ground for fear of be ing called over-

ly-re l ig ious or over ly-wicked. In c los-

ing he pictured the s tudent enterta in-

ing J e s u s for the night . This w a s

presented vividly and served as a

fitting c l imax.

The outward signs of the verdancy

of our F r e s h m e n were destroyed on

November 23 when the green t ies and

ribbons were cremated in a fire made

for that purpose. The president of

the Student Council, Mr. Melvin Lub-

bers, ofTIclated in t h e ceremony and

gave the last rites to the deceased.

The F r e s h m a n president, Paul Net -

tinga, expressed the joyful s en t iment

of his c la s smates tha t now there was

to be no dis t inguishing feature for

the F r e s h m e n . Mr. De Pree of the

Sophomore c lass stated that the fee l -

ing between the c lasses w a s better

than ever and that it should remain

so. Af ter this the ceremony

was over and the happy mourners

rushed to the Gym to partake of the

usual cider and doughnuts .

One of the toughest batt les ever

fought was a basketball g a m e be-

tween the Frosh and Sophs that night.

The second year m e n won in the ov-

•time period 20-19. Proof w a s given

hat there is a good deal of valuable

basketbal l material in these two class-

HOME VOLUNTEER MEETING LED BY MR. MOGET

Last Friday evening the Home Volun-t-isre had a very Interesting talk given them by Marlnus Moget. His subject was: Catholic Mass. It was not only book knowledge that he gave, but he spoke f .om experience and therefore had some first hand information.

It was a talk, not to criticize the Cath-o'ic religion, but it was given for the pu.' pose of education.

M.-. Moget used the blackboard to pic-ture to us the altar, tabernacle, cross iJScl various vessels. He also showed the o-act position of the priest and his at-tc adants was very well described and Limotimes imitated.

Mass Is a necessity In the Catholic church. The three main parts of the service are: (1) Offering: (2) Consecra-tion; (3) Communion.

Mr. Moget had Intended to continue l i b talk by discussing certain theories, but the time to close the meeting had como and we were dismissed after re-peating the Mlzpah .benediction.

The F r e s h m e n were privileged last

Thursday evening to listen to a very

interest ing lecture on Leprosy g iven

by B. A. Poppen, M. D., from Muske-

gon, and a member of the Fe l lowship

of American Surgeons. Prof. Hager

was responsible for securing Dr. Pop-

pen; the lecture gave interest ing s ide-

l ights on Bible study.

A very detailed analys is of the

dreaded disease w a s made by the

speaker. Great care has been taken

in a t t empts to cure this awfu l plague,

but as yet it is Incurable. Dr. Poppen

described the hospi ta ls for lepers

found in m a n y parts of the world to-

.day and he made an Interesting c o m -

parison between condit ions In Bible

t imes and modern condit ions. — — o —

HOME BEAUTIFUL SUB-J E C T 0 F _ Y ^ W - m e e t i n g

In these days of rush and bustle, w e

o f t en forget that the "home of our

souls" is of more importance than

the test c o m i n g off tomorrow, or the

four thousand word essay, or the

mul t i tudinous "dates."

El izabeth Murray, as leader of the

Y. W. m e e t i n g reminded us that if

w e want the best service f r o m our

bodies, they must at least be given

as Intell igent care as w e g ive our

machines . She gave us a f e w daily

rules that can be exceedingly helpful

for any s tudent . Here are a f ew:

Rise early enough to have a talk

with God; exercise; drink plenty of

water; eat your mea l s wi thout th ink-

ing about that dreadful test or any-

th ing that worries you; eat fruit be-

t w e e n meals ; walk every day,—into

the country, not on the s treets .—and

walk, not ride; for a cold, drink plen-

ty of water and rest; remember that

sin brings s i ckness and let your

th inking be pure, your ideals high.

Marie De Cook contributed to the

pleasure of the evening by s ing ing a

solo. •

Such as have read the cri t ic isms in

the Chicago Saturday papers on the

7th program of the season given bv

the Chicago Civic Orchestra, may have

noticed the favorable c o m m e n t s on

the "Suite Primeval ," composed by

Charles Sanford Skilton, Professor of

Organ, Theory and History of Music

at the University of Kansas Lawrence,

Kansas . The program and press men-

tion the fact that the tribal melodies

incorporated in t h e suite were furn-

ished l»y Geo. UiMere, a Winnebago

Indian, w h o is a senior at Hope Col-

lege. The melodies furnished by the

young cel l ist include ' T h e Sunrise

Song", an Indian family's morn ing

hymn of worship to the rising sun; the

"Flute Serenade," a Sioux melody,

used for Indian courtship; and the

"Moccasin Game," a social Diversion

of the Winnebago tribe. The suite was

played by the full orchestra, Mr. Stock

conduct ing and was received with

much enthusiasm, as it marked a new

era in the history of American music .

For the last week it was not iced

that our reticent George had s o m e -

th ing up his s leeve. The head of

Hope's conservatory of music coaxed

the secret out of our modes t Winneba-

goan, and learned that Professor Skil-

ton had sent a check to George, pro-

viding him with means to c o m e to

Chicago to hear the suite played. N o t

only that, but Mr. La Mere was intro-

duced to .Conductor Frederick Stock,

w h o consulted h im as to the proper

t empo of the three melodies and

"Wasn't that great!" said the verv

taciturn Indian. ,

It may not be known outside of col-

lege circles that Mr. LaMere has re-

cently developed quite a penchant, f o r

DEATH TAKES TWO PROMINENT HOPE ALUMNI

Rev. John W. Van Zanten, D. D.,

pastor of the Old First Church of

Brooklyn, N. Y., died Saturday

morning Nov. 20th, a f te i a 2 weeks'

illness. The funeral services were

held at his home in Brooklyn and at

the Old First Church. He is survived

by his wi fe and two sons. J o h n Jr. and

Theodore.

Mr. Van Zanten was a graduate of

Hope College, tak ing his degree wi th

the class of 1907. Three years later h e

graduated from the N e w Brunswick

Theological Seminary and s ince then

he has served R e f o r m e d c h u r c h e s in

the East. He w a s regarded a s one of

the outs tanding pastors in the Re-

formed church and this fact was rec-

ognized by the counci l of H o p e col lege

last June w h e n that body conferred on

h im the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

Rev. A. Dunnewold , pastor of the

Reformed church at Dunningvi l le , Al-

legan county, died Sunday morning at

about o'clock as a result of an i l lness

with ye l low jaundice . Rev. Mr. Dun-

newold was one of the younger Re-

formed church pastors. He graduated

from the Western Theolog ica l semin-

ary about five years ago and from

Hope col lege three years earlier. His

home was near Rochester, N. Y. He

was unmarried.

MEET NUSKIE T AT GYKl TONIGHT

TEAM BADLY CRIPPLED BY GRADE CUTS

Tonight, Hope's varsity squad will meet the strong Muskegon "Y" Triangles and the reserves will combat the "Y" Highlanders from the same city. Coach Jack Schouten has stated no definite lineup to start the game.

Prospects for a winning team have been greatly diminished with the posting of the six-weeks' marks. Only eleven out of the thirty basketball men have survived the cut. This is a black eye for Hope as she. as never before, needs a full squad to come out on the long end of f. hard schedule. The hardest schedule ever drawn up at Hope will have to be played and the men will have to over-come their scholastic difficulties If Hope Is to finish out of the cellar position.

Two games have been added to the schedule: Jan. 5, Grand Rapids Wealthy Florists, here; Jan. 14th, Olivet, here.

"Sign on the dotted line." These

were the words that drew a peal of

laughter every time they were re-

peated in the play entitled "The S h o w

Off", g iven by a New York Cast I n

Carnegie Hall on Dec. 1, under t h e

auspices of the Hope Lyceum Course.

The p lay w a s ful l of humor, pathos,

and moral lessons, and It w a s present-

ed in a most artistic way. This m o d -

ern drama writ ten by George Ke l ly

has proved to be one of the m o s t

popular enter ta inments of the s e a -son.

The scene of the play Is in t h e

home of the Fisher fami ly . Mrs F i s h -

er and her daughter open the scene

by ta lk ing of the beau of the o ther

daughter Amy. According to the

mother, Aubrey Piper has more to

say about w h a t isn't true than a n y

other person in the world, he Is a

nuisance to t h e Fisher household and

the one big puzzle is h o w Amy can

be In love w i t h such a bluff. The

who le family, including Mr. F i sher •

and Joe, argues wi th Amy, but wi th

no avail , for she was determined to keep Aubrey.

Ha! Ha! H a - H a - H a ! The laugh of

Aubrey Piper can be heard the m i n -

fami ly . He s laps the fa ther on the

back, he t a l k s to Joe about a rust

fies h is importance In every way. The

fami ly would be led to believe that he

was the pres ident of the Pennsy lvania

Rai lroad if Clara had not in formed

t h e m that he was a mere clerk. The

mother w a r n s A m y not to marry this

show-off , but Amy marr ies h im just

the same. Meanwhi l e Joe Is pat ient ly

work ing on a chemica l rust preventa-

tive.

T h e married life of Aubrey and

m y goes l i k t t h e mother said it

would . Aubrey spends m u c h more

than his th ir ty- two dollar a week job

will warrant, but to the anger of Mrs.

F i sher he stil l brags about what he

hasn't got. Misfortunes come to the

group; Mr. F isher dies and Aubrey

runs into a traffic cop. Noth ing daunts

the "Show-off", however, and he puts

on a bolder front than ever. W h e n

Joe succeeds in his rust preventive,

Aubrey t a k e s credit, but in th i s case

ho had s o m e credit because he more

than doubled the financial returns.

The fact tha t his bluff worked puts

h im In good graces wi th the house-

hold and th ings turn out wel l a f t er

The two main characters In the

play are Mrs. Fisher, w h o is an ultra

conservat ive and a pessimist . D i a m e -

trical ly opposed to her Is Aubrey, a

h a p p y - g o - l u c k y bluff . The play t each-

es that whi le neither character Is good

to fo l low yet neither is wi thout use

in the world. The humor of the play

w a s of an exceptional ly high order,

due in part to t h e excel lent act ing.

Judg ing f r o m the size of the audience,

this number was t h e best l iked of any

of the numbers In the course. The

to clmple lack of intelligence on the part 01 the Judges were made, when a mem-ber of the then youngest ladies society won out in the Adelaide contest over the representatives of the aristocracy, whose noses could almost perform the "ele-phant's trunk act.'!

Society pride and feeling are often above school loyalty. Each society is hoping things will work out so that they may, Justlfyably, turn up their noses when other societies are mentioned, and until then are doing It anyway—Just for practice, don't you know. . _

And now ,the Milestone Staff has ap-pealed to this inter-soclety pride Instead oi- to school-spirit to sell their wares. Just take a look at the chart in Van Raalte Hall and notice the arrangement and order of the societies; men before ladles, and socially grouped. Where are Mellphone and Minerva whose money Is as gladly welcomed as that of the rest? By the way, Mellphone was the first men's society on the campus. If, to sell this year's annual .appeal to society ver-sus society pride must be made, and It cannot be sold on Its merits alone, the book Is not worth $3.25.

" DO YOU KNOW THAT"—

The sent iments of the students

must be heard. And in consequence

The Anchor has met the situation

through Its column. 'Hie Forum.

Occasional ly there arise circum-

stances which warrant the value of

that section. In the last two editions

preceeding this issue can be found

the use s tudents make of this section.

In referring to this incident of a f e w

weeks ago w e realize that the topic

under discussion concerned mainly

that particular class under whose sup-

ervision the Anchor, was conducted

that week. We do not w i sh to quar-

rel over "this slip" but rather, in

making reference to the same,

strengthen the paper in the eyes of

our fe l low students. As we all know

there are t imes when our personal

disgusts play havoc with ourse l v es

and spur us to such malfeasances , we

also know that there are t imes when

such action can bring disdain to ir

school paper and indirectly to the

college Itself.

The Forum has given the oppor-

tunity to the school at large to re-

ceive the reactions of broadminded

and farslghted Individuals on Inci-

dents of the previously stated nature.

It gives to those who are respon-

sible for the Anchor a personal satis-

faction that there are those who read

with Interest the contents of the

paper. Still more, it g ives us un op-

portunity to find out whether or not

a student body approves or disap-

proves of the material contained

therein. It furnishes the constituency

with proof that there are those in the

student body who take pride in the

school and its high ideals.

The Anchor is yours. The means of

expressing your opinions is through

the Forum. It is your privilege. If

your suggest ions are in accordance

with accepted rule and principles they

shall be considered valuable. We open

this offer to you who desire It.

I believe that the seniors should

wear derbies as they have adopted

this year. They should wear t h e m as %

soon as possible in order that the

freshmen would be able to recognize

the seniors better. The only objection I have to wear- jttl

ing derbies is the fact that it Is not

so pleasant when the ground is cov-

ered with a thick carpet of snow. ij£

The Juniors should wear caps dur- x

ing the entire year. They are the up-

per classmen and ought to be distin-

guished from the sophomores.

As for the Sophomores, 1 think

they should not wear colored enpa.

They have not reached that high

state of distinction. The Freshmen ought to wear their

green pots according to our tradition.

Let us keep the tradition and despise

it not. I do not deem It necessary to

compel the Freshmen to wear their

'd

green pots the entire year. Usually

most Freshmen have learned the les-

son of humiliation when Thanksgiv-

ing Day has come. Kxceptions to wearing derbies, col-

ored caps and green pots ought to be.

made in regard to social evenings or

holrtlays. Marin us Moget, '27.

THE FORUM SCHOOL vs. SOCIETY SPIRIT

Questions

Many and frequent have been the vails over school-spirit which, fortunate-ly .Is not Identical with "The Spirit of 1 ope." Sschool-splrlt Is fostered by the i.tudent-body and "The Spirit of Hope" by the Alumni of our school.

C mall cliques and clans can ruin the good intentions of comparatively large vmr^anlzed majorities. Last year fol-lowing the disturbance caused by alleged T'.-'ml rushing, even though the accused society was acquitted In a court trial and ( /cr. t'.iough some apologies were offered io • th. accusations, in the elections on th campus last year groups have cliqued to.:cr.he.- to keep members of that society o:.'. oi student Jobs. Similarly, society v • •ju.-. f oMety friction has worked to the clotr.mcnt of the school in athletic elec-tions.

Would you like to see each class wear a different colored tup or liat the entire school year?

I would like very much to see each

class wear a different colored cap

the entire school year. It would create

a familiarty. with ones fel low student

and give the "green'' frosh a chance

to know who are his superiors and

who are h is rivals.. The upper class-

men would not be obliged to answer

the embarrassing questions, "Are you

a Soph now?" and the uninitiated

would not swell the head of the Soph

by asking him if he were to graduate in June.

I would go one step farther and

suggest that each cap would have a

special colored button or ribbon for

the department of study In which the

student Is Interested. The History stu-

dents might have a red button, the

Classical s tudents a white button, the

C o n t i n u e d from Page 4 A m o n g other obstacles to the pro-

gress of Ajnerican art are the cult

Ot degradation, and the museum habit

oi* mind. Many artists waste their

talents, thru which they should serve

the world, by exploring the depths of

the sewers. The desire to explore a

sewer in order to wash It out, may be

worthy, but it Is disgusting when the

artist praises It and m a k e s It his

home. When the public sees products

of such perverted minds, art Is thot

o : a s being something unwholesome,

and trivial, and the true value of art

Is lost. Another serious error among most

people Is the association of tirt with

uome kind of enclosure for exhibition

purposes. This museum habit of mind

m a k e s art remote from the everyday

world, and makes the so-cal led cult-

ured clauses a group of passive appre-

clators. We wander aimlessly thru

museums, read the criticisms In the

guide book, and do not look at the

pictures to see what we personally

i.'lght admire or dislike in them. We

prefer enjoying an Illusion to enjoy-

ing an art. We know little about

painting, and hate to disagree with

opinions we have heard others ex-

pres.;, so we fol low th3 crowd and

are careful not to say we admire this

or that painting the guide book does

not expressly say Is 'Kood.' Such Ignorance of art Is not sur-

prizing when we consider that there

Is not a s ingle text book on American

art, in any col lege In the United Sta-

tes, from which one can get an Idea

of that subject. Americans are rather

to be pitied than blamed for the Ig-

norance of art, which reacts so unfav-

orably on the development of native

painters. However , several successful at-

t empts to bring good pictures to the

public have been carried on. The

modern library goes to the people,

book wagons stop at important points

so tbut access to books Is made easier,

and reading Is st imulated. "Why not,"

said people in Payton. Ohio. Mhave

the museum bring pictures to the

people?" This Idea of circulating good

pictures to anyone who asked for

them worked very successfully. The

one hundred and f l f fy paintings

which were placed on their she lves

are a lways distributed and people

h a v e shown that they can appreciate

art If they come in contact with It.

School children also showed great

interest In these paintings, and even

asked to be al lowed to buy some of

the pictures with their own money.

Thi s development of the school

child's taste Is alone of immense Im-

portance. for he will later on form

the taste of future generations.

In the world of music, we have the

d is t inct ion of hearing the best per-

formers in the world and doing far

le^s In musical composit ion than pos-

sibly in any of the arts. Good music-

h a s not become as • popular as it

should be in the average home; In its

place we find the more degrading

forms of jazz. This lack of taste is to

s o m e extent an index of the moralitv

'of the jazz admirer. "Tell me what

you like, and T will tell you what

you are," says John Ruskin. What

w e like determines largely what we

are, and to teach taste In music Is

Inevitably to form character. The

ancients also held that music was of

g r . a t importance in forming charac-

ter. and that one type of music bred

one type of character and another

type another. Plato realized this

w h e n he said, "A change in th*

music of a state will be fol lowed by

changes in its constitution."

We Americans should learn to re-

act individually to art, resisting the

herd .op in ions which are so easy and

ko false. In order to be able to ac-

claim the good and reject the bad.

Artistic taste Is iin Individual thing.

Honest opinions find many who do

not like the best books or the best

music . Such people should not slav-

ishly follow authority, and applaud

w h e n others applaud. They should

rather refine their perceptions, by

hearing worth while concerts which

are in themse lves educational, and

l istening Intelligently for new beau-

tier. in unfamil iar compositions. In

this way we can gradually learn to

apprec iate and know, good music hon-

est y.
