From the Academy

Off the Beach at Waikiki

Among the hymns of thanksgiving rising to Heaven since Hawaii became a state has been a joyous cry that Hawaii, with its university, will be the intellectual meeting-ground of East and West, refuting Kipling; and that students from the Gorgeous East there will be edified by American culture. No doubt. The University of Hawaii is preparing for her glorious role of culture-blender by being the first institution of higher learning, in the history of the world, to offer a credit course in surfboard riding (HPE 119, University of Hawaii Catalogue.)
