In 1922 the North Arkansas Con- ference took over, and Dr. George Crowell was named the next president. R. B. F. Key, on the board of trustees, gave money for the music hall in 1907, and it was named Key Hall. In that year the present College Hall was also built. The old dining hall was built shortly after College Hall, and it was used first as a dining hall and later as a library. A fire on February 3, 1914, nearly destroyed Henderson-Brown College. Key Hall was left and only two steps of the old College Hall. These original steps are still used, and are the first two steps of the present College Hall. From 1926 to 1928 the president was C. L. Hornaday who did not have his doctor's degree. J. N. Workman was the president in 1928 and 1929. ln 1929 the state took over Henderson-Brown College, and Dr. J. O. Womack was the first state president. From 1938 to 1941 J. A. Day, for whom Day Armory was named, was the president. The armory was not completed, how- ever, until after his death. The president from 1941 to 1945 was Dr. Matt L. Ellis. Then in 1945 Dr. D. D. ,McBrien became president, and he is at the present time. Page 8
