He arrived in Hawaii in 1959 to start his college degree. He graduated in June 1962 and was Phi Beta Kappa. I don't see how he could have taken an entire semester of his junior year off and done that unless he was a superman who was doubling up on classes in his senior year. As it is, it seems he graduated in 3 years anyway.
