First among the aspirations of the University, is the eudeavor to enrich the lives of its individual students hv giving them new inter- ests and by giving a new significance to old ones. It is trying to un- cover the beauty and utility of Science and Literature, and all this marvellous world. It is trying to equip its students so that the birds and flowers, the sea and mountains, and their fellow-men, will all be more interesting. It seeks to reveal to its students how men have previously regarded the great, fundamental questions of life. Four years spent in such an atmosphere of earnest endeavor, enables one to beautify his own life, and to enjoy a degree of happiness otherwise unattainable. All these aims arc expressed in the effort to learn to think and to acquire a deep, unswerving love of Truth. Then, the University aspires to have its students understand the physical world so that they may utilize its forces in winning now and greater achievements in discovering the secrets of Chemistry and grasping the possibilities of Engineering. It aspires to make them understand their fellow-men, telling them of the struggles of the past, of the hopes for the future, of the various lines of thought and en- deavor.and of the institutions which have been created. The Univer- sity wishes to show each student where his special talents will ac- complish the most good, and to inspire him with a determination to use these talents most fully. Tt seeks to train each for leadership in his own field, and to make each conscious of his own responsibility, to make him self-reliant, steadfast and courageous. The wish of the students to prove themselves responsible, capable, and trustworthy, is evidenced in the recent adoption of the Honor System. Further, the University aims to instill a deep respect for the rights and wishes of others. It advocates cooperation and looks toward the universal brotherhood of man. It receives all races on terms of equality, and fosters among them a sincere spirit of friendship. So, one of the central themes of the aspirations of the University, is to imbue young men and women with the ideal of Service to humanity. In short, the aspirations of the University of Hawaii, are beauti- fully voiced in the words of our Alma Mater song, “To larger Truth and Service our Alma Mater calls.” But this spirit must, be ever sustained by the determination and high purpose expressed in the closing words of the same song, “Our loyal praise we render and pledge to hold thy aim. Till Ocean’s far horizon shall hear thy honored name.” nineteen
