LONDON, April 1.-THE British

The Globe declared; Washington

right to be regarded as head of the
Mexican government after American
guns have acknowledged him, but
doubtless President Wilson feels that

COMMON name OF.
SCHOOL CHANGED
Trustees Of Oahu College Decide
to Call Institution In Future
Punahou Academy. y y,

The trustees of Oahu College have
changed the common name Of the I'm
stitution to "Punahou Academy" BY
the charter granted in 1858, the corpor-
ate title was made 'sThe Trustees OF
The Oahu College, and the Hpowers
and attributes usually belonging to such
institution" WERE conferred upon the
corporation.
IL was then the hope that at an early
date a course would be given which
would justify the title. Though work
covering more than half college course
has been given, a full course for a
degree has never been offered.
1t has not been through lack of de-
sire but for other reasons that the am
bition of the founders of the school
have not been realized, The corpora
tion has had its hands full trying to
provide buildings, equipment, courses
and teachers for its growing constitu.
ency. ...', .A
Many of the pupils who would norm,
ally have made up its college Glasses
have had the means to go to mainland
colleges for the broadening effect of
contact with new conditions. To quote
President A. Il. Grifiths:
"The title, Oahu College, applied to
a secondary school, has not been and
is not now misunderstood in Hawaii.
When it is used, speaker and hearer alike
do not think of the school as college
or as pretending to be what it is not,
but they know il to be what it is, a
good college preparatory school. But
in correspondence with schools and col.
leges on the mainland and in speaking
to strangers here, an explanation which
is sometimes difficult has to be made.
Fortunately, too, in our common refer
ence to the school, the term Oahu Col
lege gives way to large extent to
Punahou, an all inclusive term of
aloha. However, the use of the title
of Oahu College, for formal and official
purposes is to be continued. =
