1937-1946 These were bleak years for the University of Hawaii. The disturbed world situation had affected its program. Upperclassmen had been drafted; faculty members had been called into the armed services; and a large number of students were working in defense projects. As a result, the enrollment fell off fen per cent. Despite these obstacles, the University made further advances. It had grown ex- tensively, the land area increasing from 232 to 402 acres. The number of perm- anent buildings increased from 4 to 17. World War II found the University stu- dents carrying gas masks to class; and, bomb shelters were kept in readiness for instant use. Soon after the outbreak of the war, the Legislature created a War Records Depository, which collected, stored and sorted a vast quantity of doc- uments and prepared several publications. A Legislative Reference Bureau was also created by the Legislature in 1943. It presently maintains a reference library and conducts research for the Territory.

THE ARTHUR L ANDREWS OUTDOOR THEATRE BUILT IN SPRING OF 1933. The year 1928 saw the gymnasium being erected. That same year, there arose between Hawaii Hall and Gartley Hall, the fourth major building. It was named for Arthur L. Dean, who had served as president of the University from 1914 to 1927. In 1930, the fifth major building, Farrington Hall, was built. It fulfilled a need for a theatre and an auditorium for the whole student body. This building was named for Wallace R. Farrington, former Governor of the Territory, and an early president of the Board of Regents of the University. The YMCA also erected a building at this time, run as a student cooperative and the setting of many student affairs. Not to be forgotten was the Teachers College Building, which became the center of teacher training in 1931, when the Ter- ritorial Normal and Training School combined with the University School of Education to form Teachers College. 1927-1936 BUILT IN 1938. CRAWFORD HALL WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED THE SOCIAL SCIENCE BUILDING. 10
