ADMINISTRATION UNIVERSITY OFFICERS THE PRESENT YEAR is the fifth anniversary of the inception of the Deanship of Women on our campus. It seems fitting, as these five years draw to a close, that an expression of deep gratitude be offered to the students of the University, who, through their splendid cooperation, have assisted this department in carrying out its purposes. Their vision of the inevitable interrelation of all phases of University life: spiritual, scholastic, social, physical, and economic, has been invaluable. The harmonious working together of the various racial groups in carrying on the business of over fifty campus organizations is one of our most significant testimonials of progress toward a truly cosmopolitan university. For the future it is hoped that the office of the Dean of Women may be a center of service, free-hearted and friendly. L. N. BiLGER LEONORA N. BILGER Dean of Women Students c s f N E. LOWELL KELLY Director of Admissions ' OT very many years ago colleges and universities were literally begging for students. With the constantly increasing number of high school graduates there came about a corresponding increase in university enrollment until it has become impossible for the universities to accept all of the persons who apply for admission. Last year over seven hundred graduates of the territorial high schools applied for entrance to the Uni- versity of Hawaii. Inasmuch as the physical limitations of the institution do not provide for more than four hundred new students each year, it is obvious that some sort of selection has become necessary. As Director of Admissions it is my task to select from each annual group of applicants those best qualified to profit by a university education thus permitting the university to render the maximum service to the community which supports it.

KA PALAPALA for 1932 UNIVERSITY OFFICERS IN 1912 the first degrees were awarded by the College of Hawaii, four Bachelor of Science degrees. In 1922, 1 8 Bachelor ' s degrees were conferred, 1 5 Bachelor of Science and three Bachelor of Arts degrees. These were the first Bachelor of Arts to be granted at the University of Hawaii. In 1932 upwards of 200 Bachelor ' s degrees will be awarded, and the first Bachelor of Education degrees will be conferred. The different racial groups in the Territory are repre- sented in the student body and one of the ideals held by those who guide the University is that these students, working and playing together on our campus, shall go out not to break down race differences but to disseminate understanding of these differences, toleration for them, and goodwill. A challenge to us all! H. B. MacNeil C K9 GRADUATE work in the University of Hawaii continues to appeal to people desiring to carry on their education beyond their bachelors ' degrees. Between 90 and 100 are now taking advantage of these opportunities. At the 1932 Commencement between fifteen and twenty masters ' degrees will be awarded, or as many as the first ten years of awarding such degrees totalled. This work is under the direction of the Commit- tee on Graduate Work, which is comprised of Dr. H. S. Palmer, Chairman, and Drs. Romanzo Adams, P. S. Bach- man, R. N. Chapman, Harold St. John, and T. M. Livesay. The fields in which masters ' degrees will be awarded in June 1932, include Education, English, History, Nutrition, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Soil Science, H. S.

KA PALAPALA for 1932 THE COLLEGE OF APPLIED SCIENCE DEAN KELLER TWENTY-FIVE years ago the College of Agricul- ture and Mechanic Arts was opened. Programs of study in agriculture, in home economics, in en- gineering, and in general science were offered. The same programs now offered by the College of Applied Science resemble the original programs in form and basic content but have been altered and broadened so as to meet the present conditions. Probably the graduates of the College of Applied Science are scattered more widely than those of the other two colleges. They are found in engineering positions in eastern United States, on sugar plantations in India, selling machinery and structural material in China and as internes and dieticians in mainland hospitals; but the majority remain in Hawaii. The College of Applied Science is proud of its twenty- five years of service, of its graduates, and, twenty-five years from now, it hopes to point with pride to the achieve- ments of its present undergraduates.
