Other languages : four years. 



Mental Sc>ence or Logic or Moral Science: one year. 



Constitutional Law : one year. 



Social, Political or Economic Science : one year. 



This does not seem like an exorbitant requirement. This 

 would constitute about two-fifths of the work, the other three- 

 fiftlis being technical scientific subjects. 



And as a minimum for entrance requirements, they united 

 on 



1. Physical geography; 



2. U. S. history; 



3. Arithmetic ; 



4. Algebra to Quadratics ; 



5. English grammar, composition and literature. 



Except in English literature, our Punahou Freshman would 

 have much more than this requirement. 



Of course, the better colleges did much more than this. 

 But this shows that the new college in Hawaii can and must 

 start with a standard no lower than that, and if it is a good 

 deal higher, it will more nearly meet the peculiar conditions 

 here in the Territor}^ 



This Territory needs first a body of agricultural science 

 after v/hich will come a genuinely scientific agriculture. 

 Through the experiment stations — Federal, Territorial and 

 private — a considerable agricultural science has been develop- 

 ed. The results of these years of actual study and experi- 

 mentation should be available for the new college. They are, 

 of course, generally to be had for the asking ; but I believe 

 that they should be brought into direct and specific use by 

 having the scientific men of the station either personally con- 

 nected with the staff of the college, giving a part of their time 

 to the instruction in the college or in some less direct way 

 afifiliated with the new institution. The valuable knowledge 

 of soils and products, of crops that may and may not be grown 

 profitably, of proper methods of cultivation, and of all^ the 

 details which these stations have been accumulating for years 

 through experiment and trials should be quickly and thor- 

 outrhly put to use in training the incoming generation of agri- 

 culturists. The investigator in the stations might very well 

 be a teacher in the collesfe. While the w^ork in each should be 

 distinct, the two can well cooperate. 



The college must have such a judicious combination of the 

 so-called literary subjects with the scientific and technical 

 subjects and must give such a good, genuine broad education 

 in. these subjects as will make not men who have received 

 just enough knowledge to become dangerous, but men who 

 will make the industrial pursuits worthy callings for educated 

 men and who will bring blessings to this community by in- 

 creasing its resources and profitable products.
