He interviews all new recruits and irons out many problems in the course of his duties but it says much for the human material which he handles that grievances are rarely reported to him. The college community is largely self-sufficient. It has its own canteen, barber's shop and picture show. There is also an orchestra and a concert committee which looks after the entertainment of the residents. Transport is provided to take them from the camp to Hamilton on late shopping nights and to visit the hospitals throughout the week. Among the plant which helps to maintain supplies for the building project and to reduce costs are the college's privately-owned sawmill near Kaikohe and its quarry near Whatawhata. All these materials are transported to the site in the church's trucks. Cement is imported from the United States at a rate of 1,500 bags a month and is used not only for the buildings but also to make fencing posts and roof tiles. The college also has its own electrical engineering staff. Although there is 1,280 acres of first-class farming land surrounding the college buildings future students will receive equal training in other subjects besides agriculture. Teaching will be on a secondary level and will conform to all the requirements of the New Zealand Education Department. There will be classes in home economics and training in trades such as woodwork, electrical engineering, and welding. Later on adults wanting to take refresher courses or further study in any subject provided at the college will be enrolled. Members of any religious denomination will be able to attend but preference will be given to Mormons. All will be required to abide by the principles, rules and regulation of the church and although the Mormon doctrine will be taught those who subscribe to other beliefs will not be compelled to accept it. The college is a worthy successor to the old Mormon Maori Agricultural College, near Hastings, which was destroyed in the earthquake in 1931. It is also a tribute to those staunch members of the faith, who, for many years, advocated filling the gap which the institution's loss caused in Maori education. They approached successive presidents of the church to have another college built. Finally, during the war, President Matthew Cowley, a constant friend of the Maori people, persuaded the authorities at Salt Lake City to replace the college. Thus, he achieved what has been his lifelong desire to complete the chain of colleges through the Pacific which began at Samoa, was extended to Tonga, and which now has a further link in the college taking shape between Tuhikaramea and Frankton Junction.
