Minnesota  introduced  a bill  augmenting  the  appropriations  of 
1890  by  $5,000  for  that  year  to  be'increased  by  $5,000  for  each 
succeeding  year  until  the  total  should  amount  to  $25,000.  This 
bill  became  law.  The  College  of  Hawaii  benefits  by  both  the 
Federal  Acts  of  1890  and  1907,  so  that  by  virtue  of  them  we 
are  receiving  this  year  $35,000  and  this  amount  will  be  aug- 
mented each  year  by  $5,000  until  the  year  1911-12,  when  we  shall 
be  receiving  from  these  sources  $50,000. 
In  regard  to  the  expending  of  these  funds  it  is  important  to 
note  that  they  or  no  part  of  them  can  be  spent  for  the  purchase 
of  lands,  the  erection  or  repair  of  buildings  or  for  the  furniture 
or  fixtures  of  buildings.  They  may  be  spent  only  for  the  pay- 
ment of  salaries  for  instruction  in  certain  specified  subjects  that 
pertain  to  agriculture,  the  mechanic  arts  and  domestic  science, 
and  for  the  books,  apparatus  and  materials  of  illustrating  used 
in  the  teaching  of  these  subjects.  They  may  not  be  spent  for 
teaching  any  other  language  than  English,  nor  for  the  teach- 
ing of  such  subjects  as  psychology,  logic,  ethics  or  history. 
It  is  plain  from  this  then,  that  Hawaii  having  accepted  these 
funds  for  the  purpose  designated,  it  has  also  a duty  to  perform 
in  providing  the  land,  buildings  and  moneys  for  current  ex- 
penses. So  far  the  Legislature  has  met  these  demands  well. 
At  the  last  session  $25,000  was  appropriated  for  the  biennium 
now  drawing  to  a close  in  three  sums,  $10,000  for  buildings, 
$10,000  for  salaries  and  $5,000  for  incidental  expenses,  includ- 
ing equipment.  At  the  time  of  the  appropriation  I believe  it 
was  not  known  that  the  Federal  Grant  would  be  secured,  so 
not  enough  ^as  appropriated  for  buildings,  as  we  are  now 
urgently  in  need  of  room.  We  have  also  secured  about  43 
acres  of  land  for  a campus  in  one  of  the  most  beautiful  valleys 
in  the  suburbs  of  Honolulu  and  negotiations  are  under  way 
for  considerable  more  land.  When  these  lands  are  secured, 
when  the  necessary  buildings  are  built  and  when  the  campus 
is  laid  out  we  will  have  one  of  the  most  beautiful  College 
grounds  in  the  country.  Moreover  our  equipment  will  be 
among  the  most  adequate.  We  shall  have  facilities  for  in- 
struction, both  in  agriculture  and  engineering  that  will  be  un- 
surpassed. 
At  the  present  time  the  College  is  housed  in  two  temporary 
buildings,  both  inadequate  in  size  and  accommodations.  One 
is  an  old  building  and  the  other  is  new.  The  new  one  was 
constructed  with  a view  of  moving  it  to  the  permanent  site 
when  we  shall  have  become  established  there.  These  build- 
ings are  inadequate  and  especially  in  respect  to  room  for 
laboratory  purposes.  The  College  has  advertised  courses  in 
engineering  that  require  machinery  equipment.  Yet  we  have 
no  place  to  put  the  equipment.  Our  chemical  laboratory  is 
too  small  and  we  have  no  physics  laboratory  at  all.
