9 3 1 when recently the Federal Experiment Station in Honolulu formally joined forces with the University in a larger program of research than either could reasonably undertake alone. This new experiment station, controlled and sup- ported jointly by the United States De- partment of Agriculture and the Uni- versity. is directing its resources and re- search energies toward the solution of some fundamental problems of tropical agriculture in Hawaii with constant ef- fort to coordinate its work with that of the two large privately-controlled experi- ment stations. Already the dream of a School of Tropi- cal Agriculture has become a reality. With the recent appointment of Royal N Chapman, next year will see the op- eration of this School, drawing for its resources from the experiment stations of the sugar and pineapple associations in a cooperative arrangement with the University whereby the laboratories and technical staffs of all three institutions will be available to the School for pur- poses of instruction. This School will of- fer special training for specialists of ad vanced standing. Engineering experiments, the out- growth of an engineering testing labora- tory which has been in operation for many years, have already a place in the University. Research problems in engi- neering in Hawaii, pertaining both to agriculture and manufacturing indus- tries. as well as other problems affecting home and city life, come within its scope. The past decade has witnessed the many epochal changes outlined above. These have come in each case as a response to a definite need or demand. It seems in- evitable that in the next decade there will be a necessity for further enlarge- ment. Today’s needs may or may not be sufficient for the needs of the present. Ten years from today, undoubtedly, to- day's facilities will not suffice for the expected growth that is bound to come. In expectation of such a growth in the future, the University is always planning for the days that are beyond and to come. Even now events are occurring. Sot 13! [17]
