Mr. C. R. Bishop has made a gift of his whole Molokai property to the Kamehameha Schools, founded by the will of his lamented wife, Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. The estate comprises 150 square miles or 96,000 acres, well stocked with horses, cattle, sheep and deer. Mr. Bishop has at the same time donated $20,000 to the building fund of the girls’ school projected in the Princess’s bequest but not yet erected.

  1. I am very grateful for being a kamehameha student and grateful for what Pauahi and Charles and others did to fund and make this school possible to have.
