College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources - History

The establishment of Hawai‘i’s Agricultural Experiment Station in 1901, the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907, and the Extension Service in 1928 brought to the islands the land grant system’s tri-partite mission of research, education, and extension to serve Hawai‘i’s people. As the founding college of the University of Hawai‘i, CTAHR takes great pride in the accomplishments of the many hundreds of employees and many thousands of undergraduate and graduate students and extension learners who have been affiliated with our college. This centennial book, from which the information in this collection was taken, captures and celebrates some of the energy and accomplishments of the people involved in CTAHR’s first century.
