sThe faculty and the student body
'of the College of Hawaii constitute
body of men and women loyal to the
ideals for which our country is giving
its best thought and life. .55..<s-,
THE attempt to smirch the whole
college force with the charge OF dis
loyalty is not only utterly unjust, but
it IL helping the kaiser's game.
What is the basis Of this charge?
Talked Too Much 80
"The presence on the faculty Of
language teacher of German birth,
employed before there was thought,
here at least, of the great war. This
woman Is entitled under the terms OF
her employment to remain to the end
of this college year. And until she
talked for publication day or two
ago she had not committed a single
act that could justify the college in
removing her name from the payroll
Furthermore had she been dismissed
from service and her salary paid for
the period Of her employment-which
would very naturally be done by q
private concern-the man signing the
payroll could be held for misappro-

81 believe in the College of Hawaii,
believe In its faculty, believe in
the students. Il believe there is no
other college in the country that pos
sesses, more solidly loyal body of
American and ally men, women, young
men and young WOMEN than is now
at work at the College OF Hawaii. They
may not reach their conclusions by
the same route that do but IL the
country needs anyone OF them in any
capacity, I know that every man and
woman. every boy and girl win res
pond, and each one will do not bit
but fuHsized American share
The success Of the United States
Is based on the efforts Of workers and
builders Of condolences. The gossip
mongers and cutters merely impede
and delay that success.
ITO vim this war Americans have
got TO get together, keep their heads,
exercise careful Judgment, place con-
fidence IN their fellow Americans and
fight fight, fight every. inch Of the
way. "
"A great many vicious and untruth.
full statements have been made in
connection with the controversy grow
ing out of the presence of a German
on the faculty OF the college. r.
$50 far as am concerned, do not
intend to allow. any German to so up
set my mental American equilibrium
as to make me play into the hands
of the kaiser and his Bolsheviki pro-
paganda. am sure that the regents,
the president the faculty and the stu.
dents of the College Of Hawaii are Of
the same mind ...
ITO the limit of my ability and
Judgment. am with the men and
women willing to grapple with prob
lens andssee them through, No prob.
