Calvin jean

Large 4to, 30.5cm. Pp. 218,[14], very numerous photos throughout (few in colour) incl. numerous portrait photos of students and teachers, full indexes of names. Orig. dark green linen. Strong binding with very light trace of thumbing, contents fine. - The name indexes show almost exlusively names of people clearly of Dutch early or later immigrant origin. "In America the Christian Reformed Church traces its origin to a band of immigrants who sought freedom in the nineteenth century from the established church of the Netherlands. They settled in western Michigan and, after an early period of religious unrest among the thousands of Dutch settlers who soon joined the earlier immigrants, organized the Christian Reformed Church in 1857. The founding date of Calvin College and Seminary is 1876. Apparently a scarce volume.
