The day for the opening exercises
of the Semi Centennial of Oahu Col |
lege was an suspicious one. The

strips of blue and yellow bunting.
An arch was formed of these imme-
diately in front of the main en-
trance. On one side of the arch was
in blue figures on yellow bunting,
inscribed "1891," on the opposite
side, on a blue bunting in yellow,
"1841."
