Fine island views’

On the campus of the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa stands a run-down beige and brown building, with a few neo-classical adornments, called Gartley Hall, which is where the chemistty and physics classes originally were held; it is named after Alonzo Gartley, a prominent businessman who was on the school's first Board of Regents.1 Few of those who wander the halls — it now houses the psychology department — know anything of Gartley's business and civic activities; fewer still are aware of his interest in photography, even if they are familiar with some of his individual photographs (a number of which have been widely reproduced — sometimes without proper credit — in books on Hawai'i and Hawaiian history)
