HOMER M. ADKINS Governor of Arkansas Arkansas Tech is a state institution controlled by a board of trustees and financed by state funds. It was opened as the Second District Agriculture School in 1909, in the status of a high school academy. In 1925 state legisla- tion converted the school into Arkansas Polytechnic College, a junior college. It has been recognized for its opportunities for working students to ac- quire education enough for teaching certificates and pre-requisite work in all of the other major college departments with emphasis on agriculture and engi- neering.

PRESIDENT HULL As president of Arkansas Tech for ten years Joseph William Hull has gained a significance in the United States for building and maintaining a high-ranking school. Under his direction Tech has grown not only educa- tionally, always embracing new ideas in teaching, but physically, with the addition of new and modern buildings. Among his other occupations, President Hull is state administrator of the NYA, a position which he has held since the organization's inception. This job requires a goodly part of the time of the ‘busiest man in Arkansas’, but he nevertheless keeps a close, attentive interest in all Tech affairs. Arkansas Tech is sure to advance to greater heights under his direction.
