Dean A. L. Andrews College of Arts and Sciences THE thought that this is presumably my last opportunity to speak through Ka P ala pal a to the students in Arts and Sciences saddens me not a little. All my life I have been associated with college students. Mere in Hawaii that associa- tion has been especially close. During the period of the College of Hawaii, students and faculty worked and played together in a delightfully friendly and informal way. for everyone knew everybody else. Since the organization of the University my official duties have permitted me to meet every student in Arts and Sciences and to know many of them well. Now this is to end. for my new duties will not bring me into relations with students. Ins'ead of knowing everyone, I shall know few outside my courses. To others I shall lie at l est but a somewhat dim and distant figure. Let me then in my last word under the old order speak of my appreciation of the many years of close association with the students of Hawaii, anti my pleasure in the many friendships that have thus lieen granted me. Such friendships are among the best rewards that a teacher may hope to have. Twenty-five

Dean A. It. Keller College of Applied Science THE College of Applied Science is the professional school of this University. The students electing work in this college have done so l»ecause they wish to enter a profession in which a knowledge of science is of the utmost importance. In the past seven years but very little acreage has been added to the land devoted to the cultivation of sugar caste: nevertheless, the yearly production of raw sugar has increased from 600,000 tons to 900,000 tons. Men and women trained in scientific methods are responsible for a large portion of this increase. Pine- apple production has increased; the general health of the Islands is much im- proved : larger, more commodious and more attractive buildings are being erected everywhere throughout the Territor)'. In each and every one of these industries are found men and women from the University of Hawaii, and I know that «he coming college generations will carry on the work started by the earlier classes.

Dean of Women Dkan I.. X. Hunger I HAVE been thinking of college women and the trend of the times. College women arc resenting restriction and de- manding freedom. I would have them In- come aware of the fallacy of the belief that to live is to l e free. Restraint and guid- ance have always done more for humanity than license. Our greatest men and wo- men have been those most Ixmnd by disci- pline. by self-restraint, by principles, and by ideals. There is much to be said for the wisdom and judgment of those older in years and richer in experience than stu- dents. The leaders among our college women, you will notice, are not following the goose-step of false freedom in any of its aspects. I)r. Leonora Neufff.r Bii.ger. The Agricultural Extension Service SINCE the inauguration of the Agricul- tural Extension Service on November 1. 1928. the activities of this division of the University of Hawaii, cooperating with the United Sta'es Department of Agriculture, have increased from a:i uncertain l eginning and method of attack to a very concrete and definite purpose—the lietterment of homes and agricultural conditions in general, with special emphasis to be laid upon marketing and economic conditions in the Territory of Hawaii. Men and women county agents and specialists in Home Making. Garden- ing. Poultry Raising. Animal Husbandry and Forestry lend valuable assistance to this work. F. G. Krauss. Dkan F. G.
