GREGG M. SINCLAIR President KARL C. LEEBRICK Vice-President Pte i(ieHt IfteJJa e On a recent trip around the world, I visited a number of colleges and universities, many with more students, more buildings, larger faculties than our own. But I saw none more of the future than ours. The University of Hawaii is strategically placed. It is the only institution of higher learning in a radius of two thousand miles, and these two thousand miles are becoming more Important every day, as the speakers at the 40th Anniversary ceremonies pointed out. Hawaii !s the great point on the route to Asia; it is the intermediary point. East and West. Our University, therefore, has Infinite possibilities. Over the years our students have shown capacity for leadership. May they carry Into their lives as busi- nessmen, teachers, agriculturists, doctors, lawyers, etc., those fine qualities they have displayed In cur- rlcular and extracurricular activities. If they do, the Territory of Hawaii — soon the State of Hawaii — can play its part In the great Pacific drama. GREGG M. SINCLAIR, President.

SMt4 o f e ehU The governing body of the University is the Board of Regents. Reflecting the Territorywide character of the University, territorial law provides that at least one member of the Board must come from each of the major islands in the Hawaiian Group. While only one member of the Board is required to be an Alumnus, at the present time three formerly attended the University. The Regents meet ten times a year, usually at the University, although from time to t ime the meetings are held on the neighboring islands. The willingness of the Regents to take time from their busy lives to devote to the University indicates the great interest that the Regents have in the Uni- versity and its students. Members are: Philip E. Spaulding, President, C. Brewer and Company; Gregg M. Sinclair, Presi- dent of the UH; J. Scott, B. Pratt, Manager, Kohala Sugar Company; J.
