During his tenure Calvin College received Accreditation from the North Central Association Of Colleges And Secondary Schools . He was adept at finding a middle ground when the board and faculty disagreed over administrative issues. Broene never felt comfortable with the administrative and Fund-raising duties attached to the office of president and repeatedly asked to be released from the appointment. The Board Of Trustees complied at the end of 1929 but in 1940 again asked him to serve as an interim president for one year. He officially retired from Calvin College in 1945, but continued teaching until 1951. He was married to Josie Kleinhuizen and the two had no children. EXTERNAL LINK |
