The university's anniversary week has brought together hundreds of alumni who have returned to campus to reminisce about their days at the university. Anniversary week events began with an Oct. 15 concert featuring singer Gladys Knight. Other events included art exhibits, musical performances, picnics and a Jubilee Ball.

On Tuesday, BYU-Hawaii President Eric B. Shumway addressed a devotional assembly and paid tribute to former presidents of the school, three of whom were present: Dan W. Anderson, J. Elliot Cameron and Alton Wade. The other presidents were Reuben D. Law, the first president; Richard Wooten, second president; Owen Cook, third president; and Stephen Brower, fourth president.

On Thursday, BYU-Hawaii's Fine Arts Department, joined by dozens of students from Laie Elementary School, re-enacted Elder McKay's experience at the 1921 flag-raising ceremony.

A multi-stake conference for LDS Church members in Hawaii concluded the anniversary week's events. In addition to President Monson, other LDS Church leaders scheduled to speak at the conference were Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve and Bishop Keith B. McMullin of the church's Presiding Bishopric.
