Malamalama: A History Of The University Of Hawaii
By Robert M. Kamins and Robert E. Potter
Published by University Of Hawaii Press: Honolulu 1998 First Edition
"Malamalama: A History of the University of Hawaii, by Robert M. Kamins and Robert E. Potter, was published by the University of Hawaii Press in Honolulu in 1998 as the first edition. This comprehensive institutional history traces the University's evolution from its modest beginnings as the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907 to its emergence as a major Pacific research university. Drawing on archival sources, photographs, and personal accounts, the authors chronicle the University's academic growth, campus expansion, and its deepening role in shaping Hawaii's social, cultural, and political identity throughout the twentieth century.
Kamins and Potter present the University not merely as an educational institution but as a reflection of Hawaii's broader transformation—from territorial days to statehood and beyond. They explore the challenges of diversity, governance, and academic freedom within a unique multicultural context, while celebrating the achievements of students, faculty, and administrators who helped define its spirit of malamalama—the Hawaiian word for "light of knowledge."
Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, Malamalama stands as both a scholarly chronicle and a tribute to the University's enduring mission in the Pacific. It would appeal to historians of education, alumni and supporters of the University of Hawaii, and readers interested in the development of higher learning in island and multicultural settings."
