Description

Publication One: "Science And Education: Bernice P. Bishop Museum Annual Report For 1961"


Director Alexander Spoehr


Copyright 1962. Bishop Museum Press.


Excerpt from publication: "In the Museum's record for 1961, two events deserve special comment: The Tenth Pacific Science Congress, and the completion of Kilolani—the Hawaii Planetarium and Observatory. The first is expressive of the Museum's participation in science; the second, of its contribution to education."


Publication Two: "Work Half Done: Bernice P. Bishop Museum Annual Report for 1960"


Director Alexander Spoehr


Copyright 1961. Bishop Museum Press.


Excerpt from publication: "At the end of 1960 the Museum was in the middle of a particularly important project, the new Planetarium-Observatory, which is being constructed without the necessary total of capital funds but with the conviction that these will be forthcoming when the worth of the Planetarium-Observatory is demonstrated. To increase its service, the Museum must operate on the basis of the calculated risk."
