DAVID L. CRAWFORD President of the University Vast THIS YEAR has been one of continued growth and progress. The creation of the Teachers College has brought many more students to the campus and has enlarged the faculty staff, while the development of the Graduate School of Tropical agriculture has brought into closer relations with us the two privately supported experiment stations in Honolulu. The Charles H. Atherton residence hall for men is a splendid addition to our campus, the first building of major importance to come as a gift from private capital. This year, moreover, brings us to the end of the first quarter century of the life of the institution, which has been largely a period of proving itself and demonstrating that there is a place and a need here for this university. The prospect for the coming years seems to be one of larger growth and greater usefulness to Hawaii and the Pacific area. David L. Crawford [ 16 ]

m ARTHUR L. ANDREWS Dean of the Faculties Post AMONG the newcomers at the University of Hawaii next year will be a malihini to be known as Independent Study and Special Honors. Most of his work will be with members of the senior class. Though his name is long and dignified, he may not at first glance appear very imposing, for he is still very young and small. Nevertheless he is one of a distinguished family, and has brothers and sisters in many of the best mainland colleges and universities. You may have heard of them as Honors Courses. The particular business of this newcomer is to help our students to get more out of their studies; and now with tuition doubled that is a matter of some importance. Just how he pro- poses to do it you will have to learn from his special announcements. What concerns me here is whether or not he is going to like Hawaii well enough to want to stay. I hope he will want to stay, for I feel pretty sure that if we can get acquainted, one with the other, he is likely to become one of the best-liked persons about the University. A. L. Andrews [ 17 ]
