New Epoch Begins.
In about 1906 there began a really
distinct epoch. At this time it was
uec4aed to quite separate the academ.
ic and the boarding departments of
Punahou. Accordingly some of the old.
est buildings were razed and others
were moved; providential and unstint-
ed donations insured the construction
of several new buildings. Charles R.
Bishop hall was occupied in the fall
of 1902. Dole hall, Rice hall, and the
first Castle hall-made possible by
the gifts Of A. S. Wilcox and Mrs
Mary T. Castle-were erected in 1906.
Bingham hall was remodeled into a
building of pleasant recitation rooms
in the same year, and the old decaying
dormitories near Bingham hall were
| torn down. 1t was the idea of the
trustees to have. three units of the
school: 1he academic unit in a group
of buildings centering around Pauahi
hail. the athletic unit, with the gym
nasium, tennis courts and athletic
field; and the boarding department
unit, Of Rice hall, Dole hall and Castle
hall, together with well-equipped laun-
dry, servants quarters, shops, etc. The
spring was to re the center of it all !;
accordingly, the old frame house
which sheltered the spring was re-
moved; the beautiful pergola was
built, new concrete dome was placed
over the spring 10 preserve the purity
of its perennial flow, and the whole
pond was rock-walled AID planted with
varicolored lotus.
