DAHL WILLARD II. ELLER During the past few months, magazines and newspapers have printed many arti- cles attempting to show that the applica- tion of technical methods to the everyday problems of life is the cause of the present economic distress. It has become the work of the men and women trained along technical lines to justify their training by solving these problems. There is something wrong in a world that allows farmers in one section to burn grain while in another section coal miners are idle and starving, the storage bins full, no demand for coal and consequently, no bread. During the coming years, the present generation of students must solve these problems. The present trend in technical education is toward a better and broader foundation in the basic sciences, and, in Hawaii, such courses arc now being offered during the late afternoon and evening hours as well as during the morning periods. The tech- nically trained graduates must readjust our economic conditions so that there will be no future recurrence of the present un- fortunate situation. The students of this university will have a part in bringing about this readjustment. Arthur R. Keli.fr I 22 ) 1

THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE FACULTY DEAN GEORGE AN Nil-. C. B. MCPMAIL MHTON K. CAMERON CHARLES H. NEIL ARTHUR E. WYMAN JOHN WESLEY COULTER SHAO « HANOI LEE AUNA C. CLARKE IRVING O. PECKER MATTHEW M. GRAHAM HH: E»PH»H J. II A ML r The College of Arts and Sciences in the University of Hawaii is one of the units of institutional organization. Its function may be regarded from several points of view. First, it may be thought of as pro- viding four years of general higher educa- tion; second, as providing groundwork in the fields of humanistic, social and scien- tific subjects upon which to build the structure of technical and professional education; third, as a unit of offering pre- paration for a series of its own specialized vocations, such as research and creative activity in the arts or sciences. It was in 1920 that the College of Arts and Sciences was added to the College of Hawaii, and the name was changed to the University of Hawaii. In the words of an old college charter, attention Is given to the advancement of all good literature, arts and sciences” for the purpose of sup- plying cultural background, as training for research specialists, and as preparation for law and medicine, for teaching, journalism, business and public service. The history of civilization, the art and religion, of the Orient arc objects of special interest and study on account of the geographical posi- tion of the Hawaiian Islands. William H. George [ 23 1
