Ernie,
>From what I know from nieces, nephews, etc., Hope is still providing a >“values” experience. They promote it to me in alumni literature. About believing in magic… I left Hope with idealism and the commitment to make the world a better place. I embarked on a path to do so. It has been a long and winding road with ups and downs, and I have been in many places that did not seem remotely magical, but I haven’t given up on believing that magical experiences can happen. I encouraged both of my kids to go to a small school like Hope. My son came the closest at Colorado School of Mines, but it didn’t provide him with the experiences I had at Hope. My daughter wanted to surf, so she graduated from University of Hawaii.

In my rush out of town I did a shorthand posting of my experience at Hope. Those intangibles must be experienced to be believed. There are small oases out there. Ernie, I would encourage you to think small (college) for your children. Magic can happen in these settings. I don’t believe in magic anymore. I do love the idea of a small college, especially for my daughter. But I would like the college to be up front about its values, and what it is committing to provide. I am curious whether Hope is still a magical place, or the Magic is becoming subordinate to those numbers it proudly reports on the website... If we aren’t willing to be publicly accountable for our values, what good are they?
