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 ]

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 ]

KA PALAPALA for 1932 THE BOARD OF REGENTS ETWEEN the University and its pub- lic, interpreting one to the other, stands the Board of Regents. Its mem- bers are the trustees to whom the people of this Territory have entrusted two important things: the expenditure of much public mon- ey, and the welfare of many young lives. The Board of Regents has seven members, five of whom are appointed by the Governor for terms of five years, and two are ex-oflicio because of the positions they hold: the presi- dent of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry, and the president of the University. The members, named in the order of their length of service on the board, are Charles R. Hemen- way, who was at one time the attorney general of the Territory and now is associated with Alexander and Baldwin and one of the leading figures in both the sugar and pineapple in- dustries of Hawaii; Arthur G. Smith, promi- nent attorney and conspicuously identified with the professional and business life of the Islands; Mary Dillingham Frear, one of the best known women of Hawaii and identified with many community activities; Akaiko Akana, pastor of Kawaiahao Church which is the oldest church in the Islands, and a leader among the Hawaiian people; Dr. Charles B. Cooper, formerly president of the Medical Society of Hawaii and looked upon as one of Proposed Founders ' Gate the leaders in his profession; David L. Craw- ford, president of the University; and Bruce Cartwight, president of the Territorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry and identified with the business life of the Islands. The Board meets at monthly intervals, with sometimes extra meetings between, so that a good many hours are spent during the course of each year, with their only compensation the pleasure and satisfaction which comes from such a contact with the problems of the young people of Hawaii. They follow much more closely than the average student realizes the daily affairs of the campus and the activities of the faculty and students. AKANA CARTWRIGHT [ 18 ] COOPER
