★ FOREWORD rpHE wealth of a nation lies in its youth, said -L someone a long time ago. How true are these golden words. For to youth are intrusted the duties of building the traditions of practical idealism ... of main- taining high scholarship and noble aims . . of foster- ing fellowship without discrimination as to color, caste or creed . . . and of cherishing traditions handed down from early Americans. Every social and economic change requires the earnest attention of the youth of today in order that the differences of mankind may be amicably assimilated. A year or even twenty years hence, it is hoped that this yearbook, replete with a graphic study of life on the campus in 1939-40, will recall incidents which memory will color vividly.

★ • D EDICRTIOIl THE quiel endeavor and steady interest in his work have been realized and appreciated by all who have come in contact with him. And, always, he has had clearly in mind the importance of the task of making the youth of today the men of tomorrow. He has disregarded race, creed, and religion to make these young people of Hawaii intelligent Americans. He has instilled in the minds of students the neces- sity of fair play and line ethics, principles which he has seen as the prime factors in University sports—his particular field of interest. Therefore, to THEODORE SEARLE, who has taken the clear-cut, friendly, and practical way to serve, we dedicate this hook, the 1940 Ka Palapala.
