his bag, an ordinary business satchel,
was landed safely on the wharf, while
the man himself went down in to the
water, just missing the wharf by about
a foot.

spector examined the bag, but found
nothing therein except a few papers,
a pipe and bottle of brandy about
two-thirds gone.
The man was well dressed and Of
good appearance. He has evidently not
been in Honolulu very long, for there
was no one on the wharf at the time
who seemed to know him, although, as
a matter of fact, there were very few
people who noticed the accident.
The native said that the man could
swim, and that he was holding onto
one of the piles under the wharf when
he rescued him.

WOULD DRAW FROM STATES.
The only way students here can rise
to the intellectual levels of those who
attend colleges in the east is to have
such an institution established here. At
least twenty-five per cent of all schol
ars in the schools of Hawaii would
come to this college. 1t seems to me
inevitable that with college here we

States. There are colleges in the
south which are almost entirely sup
ported by students from the north.
They must have change of climate.
If we had a college here in this eli
mate we would have numbers of stu
dents from every part of the United
States.
DEFINITE FUTURE PLANS
do we plan definitely for college?
Yes.
DO we plan for it next year or the
year after? That is a question I can
not answer The question of the NOR
al support of the community is a con-
dition. In the first place we plan some
new buildings. We shall see the
ground broken for new buildings, not
only from a practical but from an ar
tistic point of view We must have
more room. We are impressed with
the absolute necessity for new quar-
tiers. From every point of view the
physical equipment of the Preparatory
school is very poor. 1 shall stand for
new quarters for the Preparatory or
discontinue it altogether. The school
building and equipment mean much to
the child and the surroundings at the
present Preparatory are not of the
best.
! We have planned to put up new
| buildings on the campus. We must
concentrate our entire school equip
ment rather than have it divided. 1t
! is thought next year to put the Pre-
paratory in Pauahi Hall and thus put
the trustees into a fixed plan for the
Ierection of a large number of fine
buildings for the regular college
course"
| NEED OF AN EXPERT.
There should be an expert appointed
to examine the grounds of the college
study them, and map them out for an
artistic arrangement of collegiate
buildings. He should arrange to have
them flexible enough to be added to for
build first in the campus between
Rocky Hill and Manoa Road, and
make plans for college or university
that will be adhered to in the future.
For artistic effect the grounds should
be studied with care. To put up a
lStone DulldlnS mere, brick one there,
and again a wooden one for Immediate
ineeds, would be false economy.
! Il do not wish to say anything about
Pauahi Hall, which will be thought to
reflect on anyone. 1t is a beautiful
building, but inadequate for collegiate
needs. There is too much hall space
and not enough devoted for seating ca
pacity. l would suggest that for the
new buildings there should be COM
modious college building called the his
torical building, gymnasium, manual

touched upon modestly, and he hoped
the trustees would provide a suitable
house for the president and his family
He spoke not alone for himself, but
for sQthers who may succeed him.
AT the opening of the meeting Pro
fessor Balleseyus rendered difficult
torgan selection and was roundly APP
lplauded. Miss Woods, the violinist
land musical director of the college, at
the conclusion of President Smiths ad-
ldress, played a beautiful selection upon
the violin, accompanied by Professor
iBalleseyus on the piano. After few
remarks by DIR. Emerson, the meeting
was adjourned.
