Ke Kōmike ʻIke Hawaiʻi
"In the spring of 1947, Harold Kent established a Hawaiian Culture Committee to study various phases of the culture that might be incorporated into the curriculum. Don Mitchell was appointed head of the committee, which included many cultural luminaries of the day, among them Rev. Stephen Desha, Mrs. Mary Pūkuʻi, Miss Margaret Titcomb, Miss Beatrice Moʻokini, Dr. Kenneth P. Emory, Miss Caroline Curtis, and Mrs. Dorothy Kahananui Gillette."

"Setting that foundation, setting the trust, setting the cooperation, getting the community to feel that they are touched by the legacy, you know, Kamehameha is in their community. This was a whole new era for Kamehameha—to be off the campus and in Hawaiian communities."
