KENNETH PIKE EMORY, Scientist. The archaeology of Pacific lands attracted the 
attention and efforts of Kenneth P. Emory and led to his appointment as 
ethnologist for the Bernice P. Bishop Museum and to his departure on an 
investigation trip of several years through the Pacific Islands aboard the 
yacht Kaimiloa in 1924.
  Born in Fitchburg, Mass., Nov. 23 1897, he is the son of Walter L. and 
Winifred (Pike) Emory. He arrived in Honolulu, June 29, 1900, with his mother 
and brother, his father having preceded them to the islands by six months.
  Mr. Emory was graduated from Punahou Academy in 1916, received his B.S. 
degree from Dartmouth College in 1920, took graduate work at the University of 
California for one semester and was awarded the degree of M.A. by Harvard 
University in 1923.
  He entered the service of the Bishop Museum in 1920 as assistant ethnologist 
and was advanced to ethnologist in 1924. He published “The Archaeology of 
Haleakala,” 1920, “The Island of Lanai,” 1924, and now is preparing “The 
Archaeology of Nihoa and Necker Islands” for publication.
