THE PRE IDE T The presidency ot a liberal arts college during war time is an office that requires a thorough ,knowledge of the past, a realization of the present, and an unclouded view into the tu- ture. Dr. Iohn Hugh Reynolds, president of Hendrix College since 1913, has proven his ability to direct such an institution. Por' more than thirty years he has used his imagination, his knowledge of people, and his ideas and ideals for the education of young people to make Hendrix an, outstanding school for training, men and w.omen tor a rich and full life. ' Dr. Reynolds, through constant travel to New York, Wash- ington, and other centers. contacts nationally prominent men whom he brings to the campus for the benefit of the students. Sharing their wisdom and personality the student broadens his own background and outlook. V Realizing world conditions as they are Hendrix is doing its part in the war effort. Location of an Army Specialized Train- ing Unit here was a part of that effort. But with his eyes on the true aim and ambition of Hendrix College, President Rey- nolds keeps the scholastic and technical standards of the school turned toward education, not for war, but for peace.

Though a new addition to the Hendrix faculty as director of women's activities, Mrs. P. L. Howell has made of her position a focal point of all types of activities on the campus. The official calendar for the campus originates in her office. As advisor for the inter-fraternity council she plays an important part in the planning and arrangement of social func- tions. The social committee is deeply indebted to her for her suggestions and advice in planning en- tertainment for the student body. So that the social privileges of the civilian and military students would not conflict Mrs. Howell spent much time and thought in modifying the usual social program that has long been established at Hendrix. She realized the need for change on a campus and also realized that part of the thing that is Hendrix is the tradition that surrounds everything. With a sympathetic ear for the troubles of young Miss 1944 Mrs. Howell arranged permissions and special privileges for young women students. Hers was a welcome presence at all college af- fairs. She is indeed a worthy addition to the Hen- drix way of life. -- - - - -.,..,....,, ,Je-V-., . . Y. N.. s . i ti ,L . ty - 9 ' I . --1 . ' Q' 4 l 1-11 . vi. ff' w. ll .
