File-Keeper Outranked in point of service by only two faculty members, Professor G. A. Simmons has become the Mr. Chips of the Hendrix community. His close friendship with students and his lasting interest in alumni make him a favorite of those who know him. Although retired from his positions as Professor of Latin and Greek, and Registrar, Mr. Simmons is still a scholar. His many translations from Greek and Latin classic Writers are spiced with originality and humor. His alumni files, which contain a card for information of the activities of all Hendrix alumni, is kept complete by constant perusal of state and local newspapers His file of general publicily given Hendrix fills many volumes of clipping books. Continuing to serve in an advisory capacity de- spite his official retirement, Mr. Simmons remains a vital part of the Hendrix campus. Long-Server Dr. C. I. Greene is synonymous with Arkansas Methodism and Hendrix College. Through thirty- seven years of service in capacities of Professor of English, Professor of Religion, Dean of the College, and Vice-President, his rich and fertile mind has guided the confused and groping minds of hundreds of students. These will always remember him as a patient but firm teacher who imbued them with such a high sense of ethical values that they have ever since been indebted to him. His work in the Church has effected a clearer idea of objectives and a higher dedication to service in the lives of both laymen and ministers who have had the fortune to be associated with him. Fitting tribute to him are the men and women whose lives are dedicated to the principles which he instituted. GUY A. SIMMONS, A. M. CHARLES IEROME GREENE, A. B., B. D., D. D.

Check-Signer Assistant-Presider Proving himself more than ever a dynamo of human energy, E. Wainwright Martin's energies overflowed from his official position as Treas- urer of the college to many other areas of cam- pus and community activity. Despile new dif- ficulties growing out of the war, his navigation kept Hendrix on course. Often using the airplane as a means of quick transportation on his frequent business trips to remote points in the state, Mr. Martin accumu- lated hours on his commercial pilot's license, which he expects to receive in the early sum- mer. Mr. Martin carries more than his share of community responsibilities. The latest addition to these is his acceptance of the chairmanship of the Faulkner County Civilian Defense Com- mittee. But with all his activities, he was never too busy to hear a students troubles or to give counsel to the representatives of an organiza- tion or a publication. With twenty-three years of professional serv- ice behind him, Dr. Robert Campbell, head of the English Department, has this year added a new title after his name and a new course to the curriculum. As vice-president of Hendrix, Dr. Campbell has worked in various executive capacities of the college during the absence of the President. As a teacher he has contributed his bit toward the war effort through the medi- um of a class on The Military Science of Disci- pline. First and foremost a teacher, his keen sense and understanding of the teaching situation fill the classroom with both curious and indifferent seekers after knowledge: his unaffected and optimistic nature enlivens the Written page. lt is the spirit of the man-Dr. Campbell-rather than the material he handles which is more often remembered by the young men and wom- en who grace his classes from year to year.
