X R E W 0 R D .tif T HAT the State of Arkansas has progressed in every , respect during the last two or three decades is indubitable. From being the target of antiquated jokes pertaining to its backward condition, it has ad- vanced to such an extent in education, agriculture, engineering, commerce, wealth, population, and politi- cal prestige that it is now one of the foremost states of the South. In education, Arkansas has made steps forward that are nearly incomprehensible. From being con- sidered as one of the most deficient in scholarship of the ,forty-eight states, it has ascended to a position sec- ond to few. The University of Arkansas was but re- cently classified as ranking tenth among approximately one hundred and sixty American universities. , ,.

Without its pillars the social order cannot stand. I , flngthe past, in recognition of such individuals and ervices, both church and state conferred titles n such of its faithful servants as were deemed Worthy of distinction.

.1 , . I have witnessed such any enormous development of the vast natural resources of'Arkansas that its Wealth and population have been multiplied, and its industries be- come one of the vital parts of its system. Transporta- tion. has been facilitated, expediting our commercial progress. The credit for this almost unparalleled advance in all phases of civilization must, of necessity, be given to those who have been the guiding geniuses of the State. To those Who have had the perspicacity to cor- rectly prognosticate the future, and then had the ex- executive ability, the courage, the moral strength, and the confidence of their colleagues to consummate their endeavors, the State of Arkansas is eternally indebted.
