PROF. IRVING OTIS PECKER—And here we present our most honored and re- spected diplomat and Professor of Romance languages, Honorable Pecker. With one lin- ger on France and another on Spain, he still finds time to cultivate the Latin in our plastic souls. DR. W. NORWOOD BRIGANCE— What is a Successful Speech? and “How Fast Do We Talk?” Our speech specialist can, perhaps, decide the oft debated question of sex difference in the field of articulation. His work in speech correction where it is most needed, in the short time he has liecn with us, is worthy of notice. Soon he will l»e gone. Aloha! REV. HENRY P. JUDD—teaches Ha- waiian language and history in an institution where there are fewer Hawaiians than any other racial group. He is a Yale man, and also a graduate of Auburn Theological Sem- inary. Although born in New York, he re- ceived his earlier education at Punahou. PROF. HUC-MAZELOT LUQUIENS— lends the artistic flare to our scientific temper- uients. From far away Switzerland, he brings to us a world of color and form in oil paint- ing. landscape painting, still life, and etching, incorporating Hawaiian art within his scope of interest DR. MERTON KIRK CAMERON—An exponent of capitalism, yet a philanthropist to poverty. This, ladies and gentlemen is our Professor of Economics, whose sere dignity characterizes him as a typical scholar of the Old School. His volume of speech and his tireless theoretical analysis of gum-drop utility will long remain with us. as will his exams, unusual in number for a representa- tive of the Scottish Highlands.

Symbolic of the assimilation of races on our campus, is the familiar . .. frequently too familiar emblem of the Deans. .. the Rainbow. It has spread its harmonious colors over our 400 acre campus continuously and symbolizes a college where the varicolored customs of nationalities are blending together. Though thirty years old, the University is still in its period of growing up. The rapid increase in enrollment necessitates expansion and to this end a ten year building program has been formulated and presented to the territorial planning board for approval. If endorsed, the plan calls for seventeen new buildings and additions for three. The University began with one building . . . Hawaii Hall . . . and down the vista of years sprang up around it a rect- angle of structures, including Gartley Hall, Dean Hall, the Library, and the Social Science Building. This growth indicates an optimistic future for an institu- tion. devoted to the understanding and study of the peoples of the Pacific area. More buildings have become necessary to accomodate more students.
