[edit] Trivia
There is a rumour that the original name for Holland College was intended to be the Samuel Holland Institute of Technology. The rumour goes on that it was changed to the present name only at the last minute after it was noticed what the acronym derived from the proposed name would be. However, this simply isn't true.[citation needed]
