N fy, 'At We take pride in dedicating the Na Hoa Pono to that noble group of men--the labor missionaries--who at great personal sacrifice, hard labor, and vision, have cheerfully and unselfishly united their talents and efforts to erect The Church College of Hawaii. We are humble before this manifestation of a faith that neither questions nor doubts the eventual greatness in scope and purpose of CCH. We truly realize that faith without works is dead and that their tremendous efforts and enthusiasm for a noble cause--the erection ofthis college--will be the culmination of lofty halls of learning for all the islands of the Pacific. We salute these heroic men. The College will ever be a fitting monument to their vision and sacrifice. When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when these stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and men will say, as they look upon the labor and raw substance of them, 'See, this is what our fathers did for 113'- John Ruskin ' ml ' is 1. 7 W 93' .5 , L .JI3 'Q

The building of the physical plant of The Church College ofHawaii is a unique undertaking. All of the contracting and erecting of the various units is being done by the Latter-day Saint missionaries called Labor Missionaries from the Mainland and the Hawaiian Islands. Under the supervision of Joseph R. Wilson, a prominent contractor and builder from Englewood, California, are men who are specialists in various skills--electricity, carpentry, plastering, tiling, etc. They are chosen to supervise specific phases in the building program. They, in turn, train and supervise the work of the inexperiencedisland volunteers, men of all ages who now number 47. The men from the islands live in a dormitory a short distance from their work where they are transported from dormitory, seminary, and work via a bus affectionately known as The Old Gray Goose. This gigantic project requires competence and understanding which necessitated draining swampland through canals to the Pacific, filling in ground work of coral from the nearby mountain, building roads, and bulldozing uneven terrain. They are encountering unforseen problems with patience and ingenuity. In less than two years of diligent service and constant application, these men of quiet force and dignity are reach- ing their goal--an appropriate physical plant for The Church College of Hawaii. This project is tangible evidence of the role that faith, sincerity. and vision can accomplish. ln their unselfish devotion to duty--.ill .ire serving far from loved ones, established homes, .ind lucrative business opportunities--they are assisted by their loyal wives who are contrib - uting well-managed horries to maintain the health .ind efficiency of their husbands. Truly their labor is fair above rubii-s .
