COLLEGE REGENTS
Hold FIRST MEETING
Prof. Hilgard Of Cal.
University May Be
President

The meeting of the Board of Regent,
of the prospective Agricultural College
yesterday, marks the beginning of al
institution that will give Honolulu an
air that 1t has heretofore been a strang.
En- The full Board, comprising Henry
g. Cooper, Alonzo Gartley, Marston
Campbell, Charles f. Eckart and Wal
ter G. Smith, met the Governor in his
office at o'clock.
A good start was made by the unan-
imous opinion of the Board that the
president of the institution should be
+; the best man that money could pro-
cure. This question was, however, left
to be taken up for final action at a
| future date
Several sites We're discussed among
them the Allen property on Wilder ave-
nue., the Claus Spreckels property at
Punahou and tract in Malliki valley.
The last mentioned is entirely Govern
ment property, containing valuable
water rights, and could be obtained
simply by proclamation.
The Governor stated that he stood
ready to take action on land matters,
by either purchase or exchange, in re-
Sard to the college. EIe is quite enthus-
lastic over the matter and considers it
one of the most, if not the most, i'm
portant act of his term.
The professor of Agriculture in the
University of California, Dr.. Eugene
W. Hilgard. will be consulted by the
Governor regarding d president for the
new college. 1t is though that Pro-
lessor Hilgard would be the best per-
son from whom to get a line ON that
important position. There might be q
possibility of obtaining the services of
the professor himself, and in such an
event the new Regents expressed them
selves as thoroughly delighted, but en-
tertained a doubt of realizing their
dream
Professor Hilgard has served in the
of Doctor of Physics at Held
elberg, has the degree of Doctor of |
laws of the Columbia University, and
las been state geologist Of Mississippi |
or a number of years As a special |
st on chemistry and climatology of |
'oils, he has no superior. He would be |
most valuable man for the new col |
