COAST TO COAST BY AIR AND RAIL

New York City to Los Angeles in forty-eight hours, partly by the Pennsylvania and Santa Fe rail-ways and partly by a transcon-tinental airway, is the latest de-velopment in the field of commer-cial aviation. According to the news story in the New York Herald Tribune "Here is the manner in which passengers who wish to pay approximately two and a half times the present railroad rate of $109.77 from New York to Los Angeles will travel: They will leave New York on the Pennsvl-vania Railroad at 6:05 o'clock in the evening and ride throughout the night to a point near Colum-bus, Ohio, where they will take an airplane af ter breakfast. This plane will stop for lunch at St. Louis, Missouri, and continue in the afternoon to Wichita, Kansas. Here the passengers will t ransfer to an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe train for a night ride to a point in New Mexico. There they will again get into a plane and fly into Los Angeles, arriving late in the afternoon. For the rate of two and a half times, such passengers will cut the best railroad time in exactly half.

The ninth annual banquet of the Movement, has been with us on the Emersonian Society was held last Campus for two days. Mr. Schiotz Thursday night, May 24 at the spoke to the Student Body during Spring Lake Country Club. In spite of inclement weather the ar-dor of those present was not dampened and everyone agreed that the affair was a decided suc-cess.

The theme of the evening was Spanish and the hall lent itself well to the theme for the country club is built on Spanish lines.

George Clicquennoc, president of the society, as Don Rodriqueg, welcomed the guests to the "haci-enda" of which he was maestro.

The first toast, an elaboration of the theme of welcome was pro-posed by Harry Ver Strate, fresh-man member, followed by a toast to the ladies by the eminent author-ity, Herman P. Harms.

the Chapel exercises where he won the hearts of all the students with his winning personality and fluent words. He spoke briefly on the present status of the Missionary movement. Later on in the day he spoke to a group of men and women in the basement of Van Raalte Hall. The group was not large but all who were present were held spellbound by the words of the young graduate of St. Olaf College at North Field, Minnesota, who, af ter the completion of his training intends to go as a mis-sionary to China. Mr. Schiotz is prepared to take up either the edu-cational or the evangelistal work. During the evening he spoke to the Y. W. C. A., and on Friday numer-

COACH IS REASON

HYINK AND HIS STAFF ARE COMMENDED ON 1928

MILESTONE

Dr. Albertus Pieters, former member of Hope's Bible depart-ment, came back to the campus on Friday morning through the efforts of Miss Meta Ross, who had heard of his excellent speech, in which Dr. Pieters summarizes the condi-tions in China today.

The substance of his words was as follows: China, having gone through a varied series of rebel-lions and attempts at mob rule, is at present being fought for by the northern Manchurians and the southern forces under the educated leaders, such as Feng Yu Hsien, who is the first man to give China a decent army. Dr. Pieters began his explanation by telling how he came to the Orient many years ago, and how he lived among the natives for some time.

All of the faults to be found in the natives of China, their pride in refusing to take on the "bar-barian" civilization, and their low moral standards, all may be traced to the centuries of lethargy which characterized China until the need came in 1911 for a national con-sciousness. Her patriotism had to be taught her, and the mission schools had a great share in ac-complishing this. The great Con-fuscius, celebrated by all the world, smothered much of the good in China by his system of thought in which he excluded morality from religion.

Dr. Pieters does not prophesy the exact date for the fall of Pek-ing, the last stronghold of the in-vading Manchurians, but he does expect it to be taken by the better class of natives from the South, Sooner or later the ferment will subside, and China will take her place among the great progressive republics of the world.

It is indeed a Hrculean task to edit and publish an annual of the size and quality of our Milestone. When we think of the myriad of pictures, names, write-ups, ads and designs that have to »̂e consecu-tively and logically arranged, we admire a group who can wade to success through it all. And this year's Milestone surely is a sue-

Hope's recent defeat at the hands of Albion has opened anew the argument that the caliber of our teams is being lowered. The proponents of this idea advance as their proof the showing of the bas-ketball squad in the past seasons.

Hope has had some wonderful basketball teams, and in perusing through ancient Milestones we find evidence of some fine records. Judging from this, the caliber is apparently being lowered. But what did we do in football, in base-ball, in track, in tennis? Evidently basketball was the whole thing in the athletic world at Hope in those memorable days.

Taking a cursory glance through the records of this year we find that Hope ended in fourth place in the M. 1. A. A. race; the basket-ball team ended the season in third

cess—fic..i every angle. The a i t 1 place af ter leading the race part work has aroused special approval, the organization, the quality— everything has g^nc to prove that the Class of '20 has a real publish ing ttaff within its membership.

The Milestone ctaff is to be highly commended for its fine work. It certainly has meant a 'ot of work. Ii may not '.lave a! ways been a "labor of love" exact-ly, but at least the ingenuity and originality reflected in its pages compliment every member of the staff.

Thanks for giving us such an annual. We're proud of it.

of the season; the baseball team made a very good showing among U.e association teams; and track and tennis are both improvements over previous seasons.

This indicates that the teams of the present day are maintaining a better average than the teams of the past. In. days gone by certain teams may have stood out as great teams but when was there a time when athletics were on as high a plane, generally speaking, as they are now? More and more are we realizing the great work that "Jack" has done for Hope.

HARM BLOEMERS IS NOW RE-COVERING FROM SERIOUS

ILLNESS

Those who read the "Anchor" with a critical eye will have noticed that during the first part of the second semester the usual high standards of journalism were maintained in every issue of the publication. The paper had been lately enlarged, and each staff had found the business of filling the increased space with proper mate-rial a tedious process. When Mr. Harm Bloemers took charge of the destinies of the "Anchor" he was meeting some of the closest of supervision, due to recent troubles, which brought the paper up for criticism on every point, the weekly makeup especially being noticed by the student-body.

Mr. Bloemers had beside his editor-ship of the "Anchor," an associate editor-ship of the "Mile-stone," debating work, and an un-u s u a l l y rigorous schedule of studies. Fully expecting to fulfill his own high standards of scholar-ship in each of these lines, he took up work with a will, this being his Junior year.

Recently he was ordered by his physician to drop some work and to give up the "Anchor," which he reluctantly did. On May 15th his parents came to visit him, and took him home for a prolonged rest.

Within a few days the news came back to Holland that he had had to have an appendicitis opera-tion, that organ having ruptured three days before the surgeon was able to relieve the condition.

The latest letters gave his friends every good hope for his recovery, as the source of his con-tinued illness seems to have been relieved at last. *

COMMENDS MRS. FENTON'S WORK

44BEST EVER HEARD*

One noon, the soft spring breezes gently wafted their shiftless way over the tousled heads of the Van Vleck inmates who crouched on the steps listening rapturously to Bill Heydom's musical voice as he read "selections" from Walt Whitman. Not a sound to disturb the soothing effect of Walt's intangible logic; not a protest to arrest Bill's easy flowing tongue as he read on and on—of grass, of trees, of women, of men, of love—ah! a melancholy sigh stirred the Hope (less) youths. Bill's voice sank to a murmur! *'

"Flush, Flush, goes the young man's heart in springtime." Splash! Down from above "flushed" a pail of cold water. "Enough of that"

That the members of the Girls' Glee Club have been doing some hard training in preparation for the contest held a t Albion last Fri-day, was evidenced in the unusu-ally fine concert that they rendered in the Chapel last Tuesday evening.

Although the girls were unable to go on their annual tour this year, they, under the splendid direction of Mrs. Wm. F. Fenton, have not been discouraged, but have shown that they were all the more eager to place in the state contest.

The program presented to an en-thusiastic audience last Tuesday, follows:

o

On Thursday afternoon the Hope College Girls Glee Club drove in cars to Albion where the fourth annual contests of Men's Women's and mixed choruses were to be held in the auditorium of the Albion High School on Friday.

This year a special feature was added to the usual program when a concert of massed singing by all the clubs was given in the eve-ning under the direction of Dr. Hanson, who is a composer, orches-tra director and the head of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N. Y. Dr. Hanson also was the sole judge of all the events.

We are sorry that Hope was not represented in the Men's Glee Club Contest in which the Albion, West-ern State Normal, Michigan State Normal, Calvin, Mt. Pleasant and Michigan State College clubs com-peted. Western State Normal took first, Michigan State College sec-ond, and Albion third.

Nor was Hope College repre-sented in the mixed chorus contest in which Michigan State College took first and Western State Nor-mal took second place.

Of the eleven Girls' Glee Clubs, Hope's Club was the only one to sing without a director. The con-test number was "Rain" by Pearl Curran, a delightfully descriptive number. Each club was entitled to fill the time limit of fifteen min-utes by singing chosen pieces, but the Hope Club sang only "Noon" by Harris, besides the reqaireu song.

"Rain" was interpreted in ten different ways, and it was interest-ing for the Hope girls to compare their interpretation with those of the Albion, Ypsilanti, W. State Normal, Calvin, Mt. Pleasant, Adrian, Olivet, Hillsdale and De-troit clubs. Dr. Hanson placed highest approval on the interpre-tation of Mrs. Fenton'^ girls. S e c -ond place was won by Michigan State Normal Club and third place was awarded to the Albion and Western State Normal Clubs.

"I have awarded first prize to the club who performed the most extraordinary ensemble singing I have ever heard," said Dr. Hanson when he announced his decision. The girls are happy, not only to have won first place, but also to have Mrs. Fenton as director. Without Mrs. Fenton's wonderful ability of interpretation, of hearing every fault in intonation and attack, the Hope College Girls' Glee Club could never have achieved this honor.

WORDS WITHOUT SONG

As Dr. Nykerk and Dr. Dimnent, the Castor and Pollux of the chapel service, mounted the steps preparatory to conducting chapel, the idle wagging of many tongues ceased, and the students paid re-pectful attention to Dr. Nykerk, who walked to the pulpit He an-nounced the hymn, gave a vague wave of his hand towards the piano, and then waited for the opening chord, but no melodious notes broke the complete silence. Again he waved, this time more impatiently. Vainly Dr. Dimnent attempted to signal him, but he paid no attention to this benevo-lent telegraphy. Some of the less sanctimonious students began to snicker and nudge each other know-ingly. Closing his book with a slam and uttering something about "an indolent accompanist," Dr. Nykerk angrily turned towards the piano and immediately colored a brilliant red—for he had forgotten to summon a pianist.

WAR AND US

•To you, f rom failing hands, We throw the torch!"

That was the challenge left to us by those who sacrificed their lives fo r "liberty." Was it all together vain — tha

sacrifice?

Many besides those silent embittered soldiers of the late war are coming to see the awfulness, the terror , and the u t te r fut i l i ty of war. The t rue aspect of war so long covered by a tinsel glory. There is no thrill in giving one's life for empty theories and other 's desire for power. We must know before we are taken in again. We must t ry all other solutions first.

That is why a conference such as the one held a t Lansing

on May 10 is so significant. That, we believe, is a s tudent movement worth while. It

does not t ry to dictate to the world and make demands. Instead it shows a healthy desire to learn — an eagerness to study about the present s t a tus of international relations and to place all their s t rength and mind upon the problems of

war. Such eagerness will not be gainsaid! Fellow-students, our generation, grown up, will find peace!

DREAMS MAY COME TRUE

With the completion of the new Memorial Chapel, Hope College will have successfully carried out a big enterprise, of no mean proportions. But there is also another project in vie\v, which will increase Hope's campus acreage considerably if plans materialize as expected. This enlargement will be m the form of Lincoln Park, located directly opposite the campus' nor theast corner, on Lincoln Avenue, between Tenth

and Eleventh Streets . Years ago, this site was given to the city by Dr. Van

Raalte, Holland's founder. As a park it seems to be a fai lure for it has no distinct advantages for the same, so the city, is considering the donating of this beautiful piece ot property

to the college.

Wouldn't it be splendid to see a new library, with a large study hall, and class rooms erected there? It would be ideal for a science ball for more reasons than one. The odor f rom the gas factory would find s t rong competition wi th that f rom

the chemistry laboratory. It should fill every loyal Hopeite's hear t with excitement

and spirit, to see this magnificent new chapel now in con-struction, and to see new plans formulat ing for the giving of a large section of property to be added to the campus with

expectations of fu tu re building.

"BACK TO NATURE"

So of ten do we come in contact with t ha t word "civiliza-tion" in our normal pursui ts of life that the mere repetition has so served to deaden our sensibilities with regard to its meaning tha t we are often only too prone to accept it, and all its connotative values, without the least bit of thought concerning it. Each of us will immediately lay claim to being civilized, if he be asked; and we have as one of the courses in our curriculum a course in the "History of Civilization."

We are all members of a very complex civilization, and yet if consciously called upon to do so, few of us could really

say in what we excell to be thus named. Perhaps the best definition t ha t we can give for civiliza-

tion is t h a t of Hellwald, who said, "Civilization is the master-ing of na ture and the taming of man."

The modem tendency in life seems to be a "back to na-ture" movement. This is revealed in so many things t ha t to mention one almost immediately calls dozens of others fo r th . Our sports indicate it, as does the modern dance, and the modern modes of dress, especially tha t of the women. We see the re turn to the animal a t every hand.

In th is "back to na ture" movement we are seriously menacing this vast supers t ructure of life which has taken so many years of toil and pain in the building. If such pur-suits be continued through a very few generations all these centuries of time in which life has been so laboriously raised to its present plane will have been los t It was this tendency tha t led Stanley Hall to write, "Man has never yet demon-strated t ha t he can remain permanently civilized."

Let us not fall so easily into these modem tendencies; throwing caution to the winds and revert ing to the beast, merely because it is the trend. But ra ther let us set our faces against such movements, and be proud to uphold all tha t which our fo refa thers have gained for us, and progress ra ther than retrogress. As Huxley said, "The ethical progress of society depends, not on the imitating of the cosmic process, still less upon running away from it, but on combatting it."

THAT KEY OF GOLD

Phi Beta Kappa has been spumed again, this time by a woman student at the University of Wisconsin. Miss Olga Rubinow, of Philadelphia, senior in the college of letters and science, objected to the society's standards. Her note of refusal follows:

"Because I am opposed to any formal honor bestowed on the basis of high grades, which 1 do not consider a genuine criterion of true scholarship and intellectual achievement, and which 1 believe is often conferred upon the unworthy as well as the worthy, constantly excluding a large proportion of those worthy who do not happen to excel in grades—1 beg to decline election to the Phi Beta Kappa society."

The Cardinal, besides diagreeing with Miss Rubinow's objections, dislikes the publicity that accom panies Phi Beta Kappa refusals. It believes that "refusal or acceptance to any honorary organization is purely a personal matter; it need

not be disclosed to everybody, to be carried before the eyes of the world. This merely starts gossip and guesses regarding possible motives which may have prompted the declination, even though these assumptions come nowhere near the truth. The story was news, but could not help the party con-

cerned." The Princeton University chapter

of Phi Beta Kappa has decided not to change its requirements, a move suggested by many students and the Princetonian. The reformists held that the Four Course Plan has produced a type of scholar who de-serves recognition which the soci-ety's present regulations do not permit. The Princetonian sug-gested that students awarded Highest Honors be considered eligible, provided they do not fail below a certain minimum rating in their general average. However, the Phi Beta Kappas decided that the honors granted under the Four Course Plan "are not comparable to the present basis of election."

HOPE-ITES FOR HOPE LIBRARY

Agitation has been aroused of late among students, in regard to the early closing hour of Hope's library.

With open hours from eight in the morning to only four-thirty in the afternoon, students are unable to avail themselves of all the mag-azines necessary for their assign-ments. So after four-thirty stu-dents must pack up their belong-ings and go to the Public Library to continue their research. To be sure, the Holland Public Library is

for the public's use, but inasmuch as this is not a public institution, is it quite fair that the college stu-dents have a so-called "option" on that place ? Evening upon evening the tables are lined with only col-lege students.

Why can't Hope's library, like every other college library, be open until nine in the evening?

Of course this might necessitate the services of a few extra librar-ians but without a doubt in a col-lege Of this size there is more than one energetic individual who would be only too glad to have a job like this as a side-line.

and the fall Are the four seasons iamiliar to all. But there's still another one about

which I know, Tis the one that sore throat suf-

ferers undergo.

It is'when some say: "I like it," and some say: "I don't," •

And some say: "I will," and some say: "I won't."

Now I'll tell you this season, if you cannot guess,

It's coming-out time, of course it is; yes.

Well, I don't mean society debuts, oh, no!

Nor I don't mean parties when you're sixteen or so.

But I do mean the time when they all shout

With pain; then Doctor says: "Tonsils come out."

Yes, they robbed me of mine; I knew nothing about it.

They said I was sleeping—perhaps —I don't doubt it.

And perhaps if they need more, our pup has a pair.

I'll gladly ask "Pal" if he's got them to spare.

But, I'm glad mine are gone, 'cause 1 feel so well;

So good-bye, little tonsils, a fond farewell.

HOPE SENDS DELEGATES TO

MODEL LEAGUE OF NATIONS WE REPRESENT NETHER-

LANDS, PERSIA, DENMARK

GOVERNOR IS PATRON

On Saturday, May 12, a group of Michigan College students gath-ered for a unique meeting — a model assembly of the League of Nations. AI least fifteen colleges were represented. Gov. and Mrs. Green were among the patrons.

Professor Raymond, history de-partment head, accompanied a group of Hope men to Eas t Lansing where it was held. Two of our ben—Billy De Haan and John Visser, spuke—reporting for the committee un traflfie in opium. Hope represented delegatiuns from Persia, Netherlands and Denmark. T h e assembly w a s conducted strictly a f t e r the urder of the League of Nations.

This may be propaganda of a sort—but the entrance of the United Sta tes was never men-tioned. It is, on the other hand, purely educational and education in a thing never hurt anyone whether lie was for or against it. I t is con-paKMo| piBAuo; dd^s £}q «

getting something done, that the State of Michigan would allow such a meeting to take place. It shows an admirable willingness to learn.

The Model Assembly of the League of Nations has aroused so much interest in international Aifairs tha t i t is to become an an-nual event fo r the colleges of Mich-igan. Each year college students will become more familiar with the work ol the League and inter-national problems in general. The League of Nations Non-Partisan Association, which prepared the outline for the Model Assembly, cordially invites all students who are interested to become members. 'Pie Honorable George W. Wicker-sham, Attorney General of the United States in the Cabinet of President Taf t , is the National President and President C. C. Little of the University of Michigan, is the Michigan Chairman for 1928. The Hon. Wickersham has several times been an unofficial observer of the real League Assembly.

The League of Nations Non-partisan Association indulges in no hysterical pleas for United States entrance into the League. Mem-bers of the organization believe that eventually America must take her part in the family of nations. Until that time shall come, no American citizen can afford to be Ignorant of the League's work and activities.

College students have shown themselves alert and open-minded. By affiliating themselves with the League of Nations Non-Partisan

Association, such students will re-ceive authentic current information on the League and will have at their disposal educational material of all kinds on this subject.

The Friday morning chapel exer-cises will be devoted to a report by our delegates.

Next Friday the baseball and track teams will participate in the annual M. I. A. A. Field Day cele-bration. This year as usual it will be held at Albion. Champions for the year in baseball and in track will be selected according to the elimination process.

Last year Kalamazoo was the champion in baseball, and Hillsdale largely through the efforts of Goeriz was declared track cham-pions. Both of these teams are strong possibilities to cop the championships again, but they will have a much harder time to do it this year since competition is so much stronger.

Are we going to support the teams as they leave? Do they go knowing that the whole is behind them? I hope so! Let's show the boys that we are whole-heartedly behind them and give them a rousing send-off.

Coach Schouten is already laying plans for the 1928 football cam»-paign. With a large percentage of veterans back, a very promising Freshman group, and with Boo Cook once more in the harness, Hope ought to cut quite a figure in the race, We will have the added advantage of playing the majority of the games on the home grid.

Albion just about clinched the M. I. A. A. title as a result of vic-tories over Hope and Alma. Her record this season shows eight vic-tories and two defeats. Coaches Dougherty and Parker have every reason to be proud of their teams, since it played heads up baseball all season.

On the basis of her showing in the meet at Lansing, Albion will be a favorite to take the major part of the track and field honors in the M. I. A. A. meet Friday and Saturday. Hope will go to the meet with some very good per-formers, but lack of numbers makes the outlook rather dark, al-though surprises do come, espe-cially in the realm of sports.

At the meet with Kalamazoo, John Klay once more exhibited his skill in handling cows. It seems as though one of these contented animals was trying to broad jump. Mr. Klay, af ter others had failed, successfully induced said cow to re-frain from exhibiting her wares before the sophisticated Hope stu-dents. They say Will Rogers got his start handling cows.

« * *

Adrian College over in the south-eastern part of the state is the only college in the state of any re-pute who is not affiliated with either with the M.I.A.A. or the M.I.C. The former ought to make an effort to have this college added to the happy family which now comprises the M.I.A.A.

The race in the M.I.A.A. is a hot one this year. Any team that stays on the top of the heap for more than 24 hours at a time is worthy of honorable mention. Evidently the pitching ain't what it 's cracked up to be. The tournament at the close of the season will undoubt-edly determine the winner. •

* * *

After the remarkable showing the track team made recently, we feel it is about time to start a golf team. We have seen several of the students diligently pursuing the elusive little white apple, and all that is lacking is a meeting to or-ganize such a team. We nominate John Schouten for coach.

One of the features of Com-mencement Week ought to be a public exhibition by the girls' gym team. Inspite of the lack of time, they have accomplished wonders and we feel it is only right that the rest of the school should have an opportunity to see the girls in ac-tion. Perhaps the boys might not be interested, but we feel positive

the other girls would. What say?

Hope ran into a bit of bad luck at Riverview Park last Wednesday afternoon, losing its second game to Albion in twelve innings, 10-5. Hope played on a par with Albion until the last inning but weakened in the twelfth to allow five Albion runners to score.

Cole went the full route for the Dutchmen while Albion was forced to use three hurlers. Vallance was knocked out of the box in the sec-ond inning. Smith taking his place. Smith later was forced to give way for "Rip" Collins of hook-ball fame. Collins did not fare much better than the others and was on-ly saved by the timely hitting of his teammates.

Hope's chances are considerably weakened in the pennant drive by this defeat. There is still a mathe-matical possibility but the actual possibility is very small. Incident-ally this was Hope's last home game of the season; and being this it was a very hard one to lose.

Hope had chances to sew up the game in the eighth, ninth and eleventh innings but failed to come through with the proper hits. A little single in any of these innings would have sent the winning run home. But the necessary hit was lacking and the game was lost.

The score by innings:

Albion 000 040 000 Hope 040 000 000

Batteries: Albion — Smith, Collins and Nutt. Cole and R. Japinga.

FROSH WIN FROM KAZOO

The Frosh Track Team also com-peted with the Kazoo yearlings last Tuesday at the Fair Grounds. Hope ran away with the meet, tak-ing twelve out of fifteen events. Hope should have some very good track material next year. Scudder, Willets, and Martin were the Hope high-lights, Scudder alone taking only five firsts. The Orange and Blue also ran off with the half-mile relay.
