One of the qualities that has aided Gordon
Van Wylen's role as Hope College Leader is
what people refer to again and again as his
integrity. It permeates all aspects of his life
— from calling on foundationsfor support
to personally answering letters from parents
and alumni.
“Integrity is something you can't learn,”
says DePree, who served as chairman of the
Board of Trustees from 1966 to 1978.
“Schools can’t teach you how to have
integrity. You have it or you don’t have it.
And rather quickly after Dr. Van Wylen
arrived,people began to see that here was a
man who was deeply sincere and had this
high degree of integrity.”

In addition to earning the respect of the
college community, Van Wylen has made his
mark in the Holland area. In December 1982,
he agreed to chair a committee that would
study a proposedcity airport. In recommending the $5

maximized his time. Through hard work and
extra hours, he has helped lead Hope to a
solid financial ground.
“We've always been a relativelypoor
college,” says Bruins, who has been on the
faculty since 1966. “Now, we’re not a rich
college by any means, but Gordon Van Wylen
has raised money, he has reconditioned the
campus, and he’s given us new facilitiesthat
we never had before.”
The fund-raising and extensive campus
development have helped Hope College in
the building of another area — its academic
reputation. Since the late 1970s, Hope has
been recognizedas one of the leading
colleges in the country for its outstanding and
affordable liberal arts educationin such

Bruins paid tribute to him and his wife

car company that brought back the popularity of the cheap
subcompact with the matchboxish Yugo-mobile).

But shortly before Koljevic was to arrive at the college
for the First time in 16 years last August, Petrovich suddenly died.
"I must admit I considerednot coming (to Hope) after
Michael’sdeath,” Koljevic says. “But John Tammi (professor of theatre and a close mutual friend of the two
Yugoslavs) called and said ‘that doesn’t mean you still
can’t come. We are here waiting for you. You come not
to replace Mike but to help us leam more about Yugoslavia.’So here I am again.”

Listening longer, it’s easy to see that Koljevic is a
wheeler-dealer of sorts. But not a shyster. Good entrepreneurs don’t take people for a ride; they just get things
done with a good measure of emphasis. Those were the
same profuse extroverted qualitiesthe late Michael Petrovich, a fellow Yugoslav,possessed.
Petrovich, a long-time Hope history prof and originator
of the Yugoslavian May Term, had encouraged his old
friend Koljevic to travel to the United States, to Hope
on a Fulbright-Haysfellowship for each of the past three
years. Finally, Koljeviccould come during the 1986-87
school year to be a visiting professorof comparative

of the limited office space available in its

off the beaten trail, and freshly painted.

seemed, however,to be the meeting point for
all the toilet plumbing from the three upstairs

Van Wylen first to be
honored by Meiji Gakuin
President
Gordon J. Van Wylen became
the first honorary doctoral degree recipient
to be honored by Meiji Gakuin University,
Japan. Dr. Van Wylen received the degree
on Wednesday, May 20 at Meiji Gakuin
University's new Yokohama campus.
Since 1965, Meiji Gakuin and Hope have
maintaineda sister school relationship
when the Japanese school started sending
students to Hope. In 1980, Hope students
became part of the two-way exchange
program, sending students to the Japanese
university for a May Term seminar on
contemporary Japan. In fact, 15 Hope
students and two faculty members were
among those in the audience when Van
Wylen received his honorary degree from
Meiji Gakuin President Makoto Morii.
This academic year marks the 100th
anniversary of Meiji Gakuin University. In
1886, a language school under Dr. J. C.
Hepburn of the Presbyterian Church and
Tokyo Union Seminary under Dr. S. R.
Brown of the Reformed Church merged to
form Meiji Gakuin. Today, the two churches
continueto support the campus which has
approximately 10,500 students.
In accepting his honor. Van Wylen stated
that "I receive this honor not only personally, but also as a representative of
Hope
College.In doing so, I perceive this
recognition as an importantaffirmation of
the very significantties between Meiji
Gakuin University and Hope College."
Over 600 Meiji Gakuin students have
studied at Hope over the past 23 years.
Van Wylen continued to address the
audience,giving his speech entitled,
“Science, Technology, and Religion." He
spoke about the role those three human
endeavors play in individual and societal
lives, nationally and internationally.“We
need to think about the impact of science
and technology on the human spirit and our
(pollution,the threat of nuclear war) as well
as a
to
measure of disillusionment, according
Van Wylen. “The cause of this disillusion-
ment is rooted in our high expectations that
the abundance of material things we have
through advances in science and technology
will bring us a sense of fulfillment,happiness, and well-being,” Van Wylen stated.
“But technology does not address the
need for love and fidelity in our homes, the
problems of racism and other evils in our
communities, and the constant threat of war
in the world. These are issues that relate to
our
human
spirit."
In regard to faith and technology,
Van
Wylen
said there is no denying that there
have been many tensions between science
and Christianity.
“With the rise of science and the prestige
of technology, there has been a tendencyto
let this scientificattitude of detachment
dominate our approachto religion. We seek
to evaluate and test God in a detached way
as an outside observer. . . As science grew
and developed, the need for God was less
and. less, and gradually the notion developed
that God was not needed to “explain” things
at all. As a result,many persons left
themselves vulnerable to a non-theistic
view of life.”
But religious and scientificapproaches
need not be rivals. Van Wylen continued,
but instead complements, “each appropriate
to an aspect of experience largely ignored
by the other.”
"But one of the greatestchallenges before
us, as citizens of our respective countries
and the world," Van Wylen added later,“is
to
make judgements in regard to technology
that will promote both individual freedom

When
Gordon came to head this school

What benefits? Why, first of all
He got our eye back on the ball.
He preached a game of faith and knowledge.

No, human head and human soul
According well — that was his goal.
And was achieved,as all can see,
By our standing as academy.
What’s more, regained the church’s confidence,
Eroded by past negligence.
And then the campus — how it changed
As everythingwas rearranged:
DeWitt made useful and efficient,
Streets closed to make green space sufficient,
Dow exchanged for old Carnegie,
Van Vleck and Voorhees saved from aging,
Houses demolished or moved
(Ah, there’sa fine Miltonic touch)
To get the campus so improved
That there would be a place to set
A library named Gordon and Margaret.
D’you think he burned Van Raalte up
To get this program started up?

Provost, four deans. When this came through
I thought that he had gone berserk,
