PunahOu and whose generous gifts
have not been forgotten.
ITO Rev. DR.. Beckwith, the beloved
teacher of some of you, the beloved
pastor of more of you, and the faithful
friend of you all.
ITO Charles r. Bishop, who loves the
youth of this land, who is spending the
crowning years OF a useful life in the
study of the highest good of these Is
land communities, as witness this build
ing and it's furnishings.
CAS- you enter ST. Paul's Cathedral
you behold a mural tablet in memory
of the architect, Sir Christopher Wren,
and after his name is this inscription
| Stranger, if you seek his monument,
| look around you And we say tonight,
in the words of our friend from San
| Francisco, Mr.. Bishop has a living
monument here in these Islands, He
| has built a monument more lasting
than bronze, higher than the royal
pyramids, which neither the destruc-
tive storm nor the raging north wind
can destroy, nor countless years, nor
the flight of time
LAS witnesses to his generosity, the
Hall of Science across the way, and
large additions from time to time to our
endowment.
1t were idle to rehearse to this audi
ence the benevolent deeds of this man
his munificence, together with that of
his noble wife, toward the Kamehame-
ha Schools, the Hilo Boys Boarding
School, and elsewhere.
The only return that can be made
him, or that he would ask, is the faith
full use of the advantages he has placed
within our reach. And we believe in
the young people. We believe you will
be faithful-faithful to yourselves, to
your country and to God.
1--WE rejoice in the prosperity of the
other institutions of learning here; in
the prosperity of the Kamehameha
Schools, in the prosperity of the new
High School, with it's magnificent build
ing and surroundings. We rejoice in
whatever is for the lasting benefit of
this community.
And we call upon you to rejoice with
us tonight that we also have increased
facilities.
ct is the policy of Oahu College to
work in harmony with the public
schools and to supplement them; to
furnish opportunity for students after
completing the High School course to
continue their work in higher branches.
This institution is not for any class
or for any race or for any religious sect,
but for the benefit of all who wish a
liberal education.

I'd, Mr.. G.. M. Cooke was by vote an
neXed to the committee on plans and
became at once most active and useful
member. May 29th, the committee on
plans was constituted the building
committee. 1t consisted of Messrs
Hosmer, Hyde, Cooke and Castle. The
work of digging for the foundations was
taken in hand by the committee and
was thoroughly and we'll carried on I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. Frank Bar
wick, tQFhose constant care and at
tentiOn Mdch is due.
LAS a building committee the first
meeting was held June 18th, when it
was organized with Mr.. Hosmer, chair
man; DR.. Hyde, secretary, and G. NJ.
Cooke, treasurer. Mr.. Ripley had been
selected by the trustees as supervising
architect on May 10Th, 1894. The plan
settled upon for the building may be
Called a compromise between Ripley
and Reynolds plans A and B. A name
for the hall was discussed at the first
meeting of the committee, 'Punahou,
Berenice' and 'Pauahi' being suggested.
The contract for stone work was
awarded to Mr.. Arthur Harrison, that
for carpenter work to Messrs. Dali,
Douglas and Allwein, and Mr.. Emme-
leuth contracted for the plumbing
Many specimens of stone were eXamin-
ed and the committee finally adopted
fine, compact gray stone found just at
the entrance to Manoa Valley. It has
produced the handsomest appearance
by far of any building erected with do
nestle stone, and it's solid, compact
formation indicates that it will be i'm
pervious to water.
October LIST, 1895, Messrs. Dole and
Damon were placed on the building
committee in place of Messrs. Cooke
and Castle, who were absent in the
United States. The stone work was fin
ished in October, 1895, and the carpen-
tiers laid aside their tools in February,
1896.
THE building committee recommend
ed to the trustees that the hall be fur
nished and prepared for use, and it has
been done, so that as delivered this
evening it is ready for occupation at
once.
9 Except the Lord build the house,
they labor in vain that build it, is a
saying as old as King David. 1t is true
today and of this house. The object of
the trustees in it's erection, of Mr.

and eventually another will be used as
a gymnasium.
But this latter will be for mere tenn
porary use, as ii is expected one SINH
lar TO that of the Y. NJ. c. A. will be OBJ
tanned and a building erected especial

The building throughout is lighted
by electricity and has electric clocks
and bells arranged under the skillful
management of Theo. Hoffman, super
intendent of the Hawaiian Electric Co.
The electroliers and fixtures were Sc
lected by Professor Hosmer from the
Electric COmpany's stock.
The grounds, under the supervision
of Mr. Barwick, are kept in excellent
condition and showed last night the
result of his care and attention. The
entire furnishings of the building, ar
rangement of the rooms and general To-
cation of the departments is the result
of the efforts of Professor F. A. Hosmer,
who has assiduously worked to make
the College a perfect educational insti-
tuition in every detail.

felt of a general hall for school pur-
poses. of recitation and lecture rooms
suited to the varied requirements OF a
broad curriculum, of modern facilities
for library, and this has often been
discussed. But only recently has the
discussion assumed a practical form.
1t is due to President Hosmer TO say
that his energetic determination to
have this hall erected has brought
about today what might otherwise have
been many years deferred.
The records of the Board of Trustees
show that on the 22d of March, 1898,
Mr. Hosmer suggested that, in view of
the increasing needs OF the boarding, de-
partment, the second floor of the school
hall be made into a boys dOrmitory,
and that an academic hall be erected.
The suggestion assumed concrete
form and was referred to the building
and grounds committee to prepare a
preliminary sketch. On the 22d of May
following such a sketch was presented
and prizes of $500, 5000 and 500 were
authorized for plans and designs of
building not to exceed $4,000 in cost
In August ,.4e trustees met at Punahou
and decided to locate the new building
of the quadrangle. At a meeting, on the
10th of January, 1894, Mr.. Hosmer pre-
sented plans and drawings of the archi
tects competing for the prizes, of Mr..
Bodwell, who designed the Central
Union Church, of Messrs. Smith and
Freeman, architects of the Bernice Pau
ahi Museum and Kamehameha Hall, of
San Francisco, and of Ripley and Rey-
noIds of Honolulu, who offered two sets.
A committee was appointed to award
the prizes, and on the Sth of February
reported in favor of Ripley and Rey-
nolds for the first and second, and
awarded the third prize to Messrs.
Smith and Freeman. Each design car
ried out the idea of a solid stone pier
rising from the foundation to the tower
to carry a telescope and thus insure
comparative stability in an elevated OBJ
servatory. To get suggestions and
criticisms of the alumni, patrons of
Punahou and others, the plans and
drawings were put on exhibition in the
rear office of the Hawaiian Safe Deposit
and Investment Co., where they were
examined and criticised by many, and
the trustees are indebted to their
friends for useful suggestions. March

It is declared to day 10 Philadelphia
that the foreclosure OF the $50 600 hrst
mortgage held by the Girard Trust
Company Is not necessarily so serious q
matter for the Athletic Club OF the
Sehuylkill Navy as was at FIRST supposed.
From what was learned yesterday the
Trust Company merely foreclosed the
mortgage as precautionary measure and
was not aotuated by any hostile feeling
toward the club. Asa matter OF fact the
Glrard Company is willing to do all that
lt possibly can to help the club IN its
difficulty.
It spDeara that this crisis in the history
of the A. o. s. n has been precipitated
by the rscsnt changes In the Internal ar
rengement Of the house. In order to
appeal TO the social side OF the members
it WAS rgreed that the locker room
should be dispensed with In order to
make way for a card room. This change
necessitated the expenditure OF some
thing like $40. 600 To make good this
