FACULTY DEPARTMENT Of MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS CAPTAIN BARTOW The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps has been a definite part of the University’s curriculum since September, 1921. Graduates are commissioned as second lieutenants of infantry in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, U. S. Army. Officers and non- commissioned officers of the regular army arc pro- vided as instructors, and this year the R.O.T.C. staff included Captain D. M. Bartow, Lieutenant R. H. Offley and Sergeants Lofink and Meniatis. The Corps is organized as a regiment of three battalions of three companies each for drill and ceremonial purposes, and numbers about 325 stu- dents. The band, equipped with new and distinc- tive uniforms, belts and music pouches this year, furnished excellent martial music on many occa- sions under the direction of Mr. Paul Sanders. The sponsors added a colorful touch to several reviews and parades during the year. Among the important events of the year will be remembered the winning for the fifth consecutive year of the coveted Warrior of the Pacific,” national R.O.T.C. rifle championship trophy; the Sponsors’ Ball at the gymnasium in October; and the Military Ball given by the Saber and Chain, cadet officers’ club in April. It has become increasingly apparent in recent years that the benefits of higher education must be made available to many who cannot take ad- vantage of the regular sessions, and this situation creates an important responsibility for the summer session. Striving to live up to his obligation, the summer session offers a wide variety of courses, and brings to Hawaii each summer a number of outstanding specialists in the various fields of knowledge, who contribute a great deal to the community through their classes, public lectures, and informal social contacts. It is to be hoped that the future will sec this division of the University constantly increasing in its usefulness to the Ter- ritory. This summer there will be two special features of the session. The School of Pacific and Oriental Affairs, the first, will offer courses in the culture of the Pacific region, conducted by a faculty drawn from several Pacific nations. The second feature, the Volcano School, is a new division of the summer session. It will be located at Kilauea Volcano on the island of Hawaii. I 26 ]

FACULTY dean chapman THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF TROPICAL AGRICULTURE The Graduate School of Tropical Agriculture of the Univer- sity of Hawaii includes within its organization members of the various scientific staffs in Hawaii who are engaged in funda- mental research in tropical agriculture. Some are at the Uni- versity of Hawaii itself, others in the Experiment Station, Association of Hawaiian Pineapple Canncrs, and at the Ex- periment Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association. Through this organization the facilities of all three of these institutions are made available for advanced research work. Graduate courses of a seminar nature arc maintained during the academic year and are attended by the junior staff members and graduate students. Through the Graduate School of Tropical Agriculture, the various experiment stations may bring to the Territory promis- ing young scientists on research fellowships, giving them the advantage of the facilities of the experiment stations in com- pleting their training. It is also possible to make exchanges between the research staffs of the local institutions with those of other universities. During the past year an exchange was made between the Hawaii School and the University of Berlin. Mr. Kenneth Merns spent the year at the University of Berlin and Dr. von Kesselcr spent the year at the Graduate School of Tropical Agriculture.—R. N. Chapman. [ 25 ) HAROLD ST. JOHN LEONORA N.

FACULTY DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS AND RECREATION OTTO KLUM In its twelfth year under the directorship of Otto Klum, the Athletics and Recreation Depart- ment has expanded yearly the scope of its work. With I.ukc Gill and 'Tump” Scarlc as the men instructors, and Ruth Waterman and May Gay handling the women, and with the cooperation of the recently organized H” Club, the department was able to inaugurate this year a complete intra- mural sports schedule, open to all organizations, which included barefoot football, basketball, soc- cer, volleyball, and water polo. Many teams were entered in each event, and the schedules were run off efficiently. After a successful season last year, the track team, this year with Klum as director and Percy HEALTH AND HYGIENE Deverill as coach, was able to put up an equally successful appearance, despite the handicap of in- adequate facilities, through the cooperation and constant work of these two. As a try-out, boxing, under the coaching of Art Cowan, was begun at the University for the first time in an organized manner. Though it was ar- dently supported, and one smoker was held, its continuance in the second semester and further development this year in the sport was found im- possible due to lack of the proper and necessary equipment as required by the Territorial Boxing Commission. But with this start, next year should sec boxing added to the growing list of Minor Sports. DR. ROBERT FAUS The Department of Health and Hygiene, opened in September, 1930, handles all cases of minor injuries, colds, boils, and coughs for the Univer- sity students, the Faculty, and also for the work- ingmen employed on the campus. Dr. Robert B. Faus is the physician for athletics. Geneva Casey, R.N. is the nurse in charge of the dispensary. During the first semester of the 1932-33 year 740 cases were treated by Miss Casey, averaging about 16 cases a day, mostly in the class of coughs and colds, though ranging over thirty diverse types. Miss Casey also has two class groups a week in Hygiene, with over 100 students, at the Teachers College. She is also in charge of the Girl’s Rest Class for freshmen and sophomore women who are not up to par. This course is given them instead of gym. A restroom is provided in the gymnasium for them. The work of the department has been necessar- ily cut down this year, and the class of cases has been limited to only minor ones. As a result the total number of cases handled to date this year has been less than that for last year. [ 27 ]
