The President ln his long daily walks about the campus in the spring Dr. Iohn Hugh Reynolds might have reviewed in his mind the long and Worthwhile life he has spent at Hendrix. He might have remembered the small Hendrix he came to, the rise in scholastic rating he brought, its growth in reputation in the state and nation, the business trips he made for the furtherance of all that is necessary and good in Hendrix Col- lege, the great strides that education has taken and that he has helped to plot, the students that have come from Hendrix and the things they have ac- complished becausehe is the man he is. Seeing the need of preparation for a future peace While War is the all- engrossing subject, he has endeavored and, as far as can now be decided, suc- ceeded in keeping Hendrix an institu- tion of learning for peaceful living. With the contact he has had with the leading minds of the nation he has brought to 'his students the modern ideas of a progressive World and kept all the while the high ideals of a classic past. From all who know and have known him he has gained, and right- fully so, the name The Grand Old Man of Hendrix .

Dean of the College People at Hendrix have a way oi lite . It has been made into a smooth road by Dr. Thomas Star- ling Staples, dean of the college. He sees Hendrix as a part of the world represented by the globe in his booklined oiiice. Making it act as a part of that World he uses his superior knowledge of people gained by his many years of experience. Treating the history he has seen and studied and learned with his philosophy of lite, his agile mind, and his practical sense, he imparts to his students much more than all his textbooks contain. He attends to the discipline problems of the school in such a way that few are aware of their existence. Iustice for all is his governing policy., With his ready smile and his quick wit he makes the student meetings with him a pleasure for both leader and follower. His record at Hendrix definitely marks him as a man among men, a leader who has earned his high place.

By a constant knowledge of the students she has satisfactorily arranged permissions and special privileges tor Hendrix women. Our traditions ot which We are justly proud have been strengthened by her sincere desire to keep this a college that trains men and Women for the best way oi life. . H
