CHARLES BISHOP DWIGHT, Lawyer. A native of Honolulu and a descendant of an 
early missionary to Hawaii, Charles B. Dwight, now assistant attorney general 
of Hawaii, has also filled other public offices of importance. While attending 
law school in Washington, D.C., in 1919, Mr. Dwight was made secretary to the 
late Prince J. Kuhio Kalanianaole, delegate to Congress from Hawaii, and later

and Ellen Norton Dwight. His grandfather was Samuel Gelston Dwight, who 
arrived in Hawaii in 1837 and who was noted for Christian work on the Island 
of Molokai, where he established a church.
  Graduated from McKinley High School in 1914, Mr. Dwight entered the law 
offices of Thompson & Cathcart and served for a short time as clerk of the 
Circuit Court. He later entered Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., where 
he received an LL.B. degree in 1922.
