The Oahu College at the Sandwich Islands

"The Oahu College at the Sandwich Islands” by Punahou School is a chronicle of the establishment and mission of Oahu College in mid-19th-century Hawaii, a school founded to deliver Christian education to both the children of missionaries and the local Hawaiian population. The narrative explores the school's beginnings in 1841, showing its shift from a school run by missionaries to a self-governing Christian community. It emphasizes the essential function of Protestant education in the Sandwich Islands. With its focus on the difficulties and opportunities faced by missionaries, the growing need for an extensive educational framework, and the college's goal of developing moral leaders, the book highlights Oahu College's lasting impact on Hawaii's future and its function as a Christian role model in the Pacific.
