Hurrah for the new spring neckwear

I'm glad that cloth is getting good

the cloth in our new spring suits is
fully 20 per cent. better than last year,
and that lie has bought nothing but the
genuine article. l guess the mercerized
fad is about done with. I knew it
wouldn't last long but it made me

COLLEGE OF
HAWAII PLANS
Pres. Gilmore Addresses Farm
ers' Institute at Annual
Meeting.

AT the annual meeting of the Farm
ers' Institute held last evening in the
rooms of the College of Hawaii, John
w. Gilmore, president of the institu-
tion, delivered a lecture on the plans
and outlook of the college.
With enlarged tables showing the
three different courses provided and
| plans of the proposed new buildings
in Manoa Valley, to aid him as illus
| trations,. President Gilmore spoke of
the origin and work of the college.
The college itself is one of many State
| and Territorial institutes whose foun-
dation was permitted by an act passed
during Lincoln's presidency. This act
arranged for the sale of public lands
at fifty cents an acre minimum. the
proceeds of which sales were devoted
to foundation funds for the colleges.
The main theme of Mr.. Gilmore g
lecture was that the college is out
growing its present quarters and the
government appropriation. He point
ed out that it was very desirable that
the college buildings should be located
on the Manoa land, as the institute is
mainly agricultural and the class
lOUIlS anu 1dDOTdtOII6S SHOULD De
"put where things are growing, which
is, indeed, the greatest and most use
full of all laboratories.
One point on which the lecturer laid
great stress was the fact that mate
rial for intelligent experimental work
in agricultural lines had been or
dered and there was nowhere to put
it after it arrived. "All machinery
for experimental purposes that has
been bought or that is to be bought, "
said Mr.. Gilmore, twill have utility
value. By that I mean machines, both
mechanical and electrical for testing,
will be such that outside engineering
interests will be able to use them for
actual work and the college will be
able to afford complete and technical
ly correct celebration -
There are two classes of students
admitted to the college-regular stu
dents. who are admitted on presenta-
ton of disploma from the High
School, Oahu College or the Normal
School. over sixteen years old; and
special students of eighteen years and
over who wish to take up a special
course but are not given a diploma
after the course is finished.
A high standard of efficiency is re-
quired for entrance to the college, in
order that it shall not duplicate any
of the work done in the institutions
bnt may begin higher up
and take students directly on from the
point where they left off in school.
To the work that the college and
the faculty has already done, and to
the hopes which he, the board of re-
gents and the faculty hoped to do in
the future, Mr.. Gilmore spoke strong
" and feelingly. After he had fin
shed he answered several questions
that were asked by those in the audi
snce and concluded the evening by
conducting those present through the
and giving them a practical
of the narrow confines in
which the work is now bound and the
necessity for more room and differ
mt location.

Became Friend of Kalakaua.

A year previous to this he had been
in Honolulu as d visitor and he had as
a capitalist and man of affairs looked
into the possibilities of Hawaii from a
refner's s point of view. At that time,
his son, John D. Spreckels, was living
in Honolulu, a clerk with Hackfeld g.
Co., and he was able to inform his
father of the chances for profitable in
vestment in Hawaii. In 1876, Mr.
Spreckels came to Honolulu for bust
ness. He became a close friend of the
