President of Hope College Kollen is disappointed Theodore Roosevelt cannot be a guest at the Lincoln banquet and hopes he can attend the college’s commencement ceremonies instead. Recently three students passed the Rhodes Scholarship exams. Kollen also invites Roosevelt to his synod of the Dutch Reformed Church and acknowledges that the numerous congregations comprising the synod are possible because of the school.
