This obviously posed picture interrupted the activity of early day Siloam Springs business men, for this is a scene in pioneer Siloam Springs. These were men who were setting out in a virgin village, a settlement with an unknown but hopeful future stretching before it. Population has increased, businesss has increased, and opportunities have increased. Siloam Springs has been fulfilling all that was hoped and planned for it. Today the cityifs future still stretches out invitingly with even better days promised ahead. .

There has been quite a crop harvested from this field. The picture will not reveal it, no matter how closely it is scrutinized. You have to be a person of vision if you are to get the full import of the statement above. This is the cornfield that was plowed under to serve as the site of the Southwestern Collegiate Institute, now John Brown University .... the spot John E. Brown visioned as a fertile field for turning out annual crops of the type this country needs. Men and women who know what they're about .... graduates who are well on the road to success by the time they leave the institution. It has produced well, this cornfield. John E. Brown and his co-laborers can well be happy in the increase God has granted.
