Oahu College Opens
Its Sixty-Third
Year.

oahu College began its sixty-third
year yesterday morning with large
attendance when President \. +. Grif-
nths mounted the platform in Pau
ihI Hail at 2 o'clock every desk scat
was occupied. and the divisions OF the
senior Junior. sophomore and fresh
men classes We're noticed to be well
balanced. Nearly hundred pupils
were present at the opening and others
| are expected to enter the various
classes in the next two or three weeks
| The same suspicious beginning was
also apparent in the Punahou Prepar-
atory School, which VIII have a full
membership.
on the stand with President Grif-
hths were Hon. +. c. Jones, one of the
trustees, and the members Of the fac
ulty. The exercises were opened with
an organ solo by Prof. Gerard Barton,
after which the President introduced
Mr. Jones, who gave a short but char
acteristic ADDRESS. His style was hui
morous and the students were won by
his wit and geniality.
The theme of Success in Life" was
ably handled by Mr.. Jones. Success,
he said was the aim and motive of
every ambitious young man and young
woman. Now was the time to begin to
measure the success of the future.
During the school year was the time
to formulate the resolve to succeed,
not when the students We're entering
upon the realities of life. Mr.. Jones
referred briefly to one or two instan-
ces of where faithfulness which
should be the watchword OF all stu
dents lives-had made the man, and the
lack of it had unmade him. There was
"a time in the long ago when a teacher
at Oahu College,, who drew a large
salary, believed he was entitled to
more. and therefore only gave services
in return which he thought were COM
mSnsurate with the salary he got. The
result was that he lost his position.
Faithfulness to ones school duties
meant much in after life, as it created
truthfulness and honesty.
Being behind hand with ones du-
ties also tended to bring about a
lack of faithfulness. Promptitude was
another keynote to success. He said
that an old Honolulu missionary friend
of his once said that those who were
not prompt had three hands-the right,
the left and illustrating with one hand
wagging behind his back), the third,
the behind hand.
President Griffths made a few intro
ductory remarks in welcoming the stu
dents. He said he had had occasion
during the past year to commend the
esprit du corps which existed in the
school and he was certain that he
ha
same sentiments. During his trip east
he had visited many schools and col
leges and found that Oahu College was
as good as any of them of the same
size, both in equipment for school
work, and in the students themselves.
