My dearest brothers and sisters, university family, and guests and members of our President's Leadership Council, aloha! We gather today almost on the eve of our 50th anniversary as a campus. Most of us here are familiar with President David O. McKay's prophecies and blessings concerning this campus, the temple, the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the community of La`ie. There is a continuing and glowing fascination for these prophetic utterances as we see them unfolding in living realities. Certainly one of the objectives of the Jubilee year will be to capture and celebrate as many instances as possible in which the hand of the Lord has been manifest among us in great mercy.
