"The Oahu College at the Sandwich Islands" by Punahou School is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book discusses the establishment and purpose of Oahu College, which was created to provide a Christian education to the children of missionaries and local youth in Hawaii. Its context reflects the significant cultural and educational developments in the Hawaiian Islands during a time of increasing interaction with American missionaries. The content of the book outlines the founding of Oahu College in 1841 as an essential institution for the education of youth in the Sandwich Islands, emphasizing the role of protestant education in the community. It details the transition from a missionary-based educational system to a more autonomous Christian community. The text addresses the challenges faced by missionaries and their families, the increasing need for a comprehensive local educational system, and the college's objective to cultivate leadership and morals among the growing population of foreign descent in Hawaii. Additionally, it highlights the broader implications of such an institution for the future of the Hawaiian nation and its role as a beacon of Christian influence across the Pacific.
