In 1894 that talented gentleman and great edu- cator, Prof. $. A. Maddox, secured control of the meritorious school. and since that time Prof. Maddox has la bored with zeal and fidelity for the establishment of a school of learning that would reflect it's thoroughness and excellence in every pupil that en- tered its portals. and how we'll his ef- forts have been rewarded Is we'll known to the citizens of not only this but many other states. In 1897 there came a change in the location. The ravages of epdemics often interfered with it's usefulness. and these Interruptions, becoming burdensome. it was decided to seek more favored spot. where the already well merited reputation of the seminary might be properly fostered and incresed. The capital City of Arkansas was finally chosen and with open arms the citizen of Little Rock bid it welcome
