LEVI C. LYMAN, Educator. The education of the youth of Hawaii has engaged the 
activities of Levi C. Lyman for almost thirty-five years, twenty-five of which 
were spent as principal of the Hilo Boarding School, which he now serves as 
treasurer and trustee.
  Born in Hilo, Dec. 16, 1866, he is the son of Frederick S. and Isabella C. 
Lyman, both members of prominent missionary families. His father was a son of 
the Rev. D. B. Lyman and Sarah J. Lyman, and his mother a daughter of Levi and 
Maria P. Chamberlain.
  Levi C. Lyman was educated at Oahu College, 1888; Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, 
N. Y., 1892, with courses at the Michigan State Automobile School, 1918, 
following which he introduced a special auto course in the mechanic arts 
department of the Hilo Boarding School.
  From September, 1888, to June, 1890, Mr. Lyman taught in the Kamehameha 
Schools, Honolulu, and when he returned to Honolulu from Pratt Institute in 
1892 he again joined the Kamehameha Schools, leaving to accept a position as 
principal of the Hilo Boarding School in Sept., 1897, which position he held 
until he retired in 1922.
  During a leave of absence from the Hilo school in 1908, he was a member of 
the faculty of Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va., where he taught agriculture 
and did survey work for the institute.
  Mr. Lyman’s educational activities did not prevent him from taking an 
interest in the business life of Hawaii, and he has been a director of the 
Hilo Electric Light Co. since 1898, as well as a director of the First Trust 
Co. of Hilo. He was a private in Co. A, Honolulu Rifles, 1889, and served 
during the Wilcox Revolution and the revolution that resulted in the overthrow 
of the monarchy in 1893. He is a Mason, a trustee and treasurer of The First 
Foreign Church of Hilo and Superintendent of Homelani Cemetery. Mr. Lyman 
married Nettie E. Hammond in July, 1897, and they have two children, Kathryn 
Isobel and Orlando Hammond Lyman.
