The Hope College Women’s Glee Club The history of the Women’s

Glee Club dates back to the early twenties, and since that time it has made annual trips into the eastern and mid-western United States. It is composed of students who may be majoring in music, but most of its personnel is drawn from those students who enjoy singing along with their work in other fields. During the war several coast to coast broadcasts were made by the club and a sound movie was madd with the girls singing in Dutch costumes. Netherlands Liberation Day saw the Glee Club transcribing a special congratulatory program which was broadcast to Old Holland. Hope College Hope College, in Holland, Michigan, was founded by Dutch settlers in 1815. It is a liberal arts college maintained by the Re-

formed Church in America and as such embraces a curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree. Hope College has a traditionally strong religious background and among its alumni will be found many of the great preachers and missionaries of our time. Hope College is accredited in the Association of American Universities and the North Central Assocition of Colleges. Her students are accepted by the leading graduate and professional schools in the country. Hope College places its major emphasis upon a sound religious program and high scholastic attainment. More than one-third of Hope’s graduates have gone on to universities for their masters degrees and one-tenth of them have received the doctorate.
