According to an article in this mornings Gazette, M. E.

Preparations are be- ing made, says Mr. Dunaway, for the entertainmentof a larger crowd than any that has ever attended a home coming of students of Hendrix col lege.
 This homecoming is one of the most unique events in college circles in this state. It is the occasion when former students of Hendrix college assemble from all over the state and renew acquaintances on the college grounds. The committee in charge expects at least 1000 to attend the reunion next month. The railroads have granted a special rate of a fare an one-third for the round trip students will be entertained free in the homes of the citizens of Conway
 The big event of each homecoming is the annual banquet. This year plates will be laid for 1000 students and ex-students. No building in Con- way is large enough to accommodate this number and the committee has procured large circus tent in which to hold the banquet. Secretary Dun away has mailed a large number of cards to former students requesting that they announce whether or not it is their intention to attend the home coming. He also has made a request that each one send contribution to help defray the expenses of procur- ing the tent and providing for the banquet, whether he may be able to attend the reunion or not. He has received responses from more than 700 students who intend to be present and he expects to hear from a great many more during the next two weeks.
 An address of welcome will be de- livered on the morning of Tuesday, June IA, by Dr. Stonewall Anderson. president of Hendrix college. The Glass Prophecy" will be given by J. w. Reynolds and Will Steele of Tex arkana will deliver an address. An informal reception will be held at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, at which former and present students of the college will meet and renew acquaint- ances.
 At the banquet in the evening Prof. ". E. Hogan of Hendrix college will act as toastmaster Attorney Gener- al Hal L. Norwood of Little Rock will respond to a toast on "Flotsam and Jetsam" and J. G. Fraser of Little Rock will talk on Law and Politics." The others who will respond to toasts relating to life at Hendrix college will be J. H. Reynolds, professor of history in the University of Arkan- sas; o. E. Goddard of Muskogee, Okla; H. T. Harrison of Pine Bluff, Forney Hutchinson of Hot Springs and Rev. Marion Nelson Waldrip of Morrilton. Impromptu speeches will be delivered by a number of the old students.
 MT. Dunaway says that many former students who go to Conway for the reunion will stay for several days and attend commencement ex- ercises. A large number of alumni and former students of Hendrix col lege are engaged in business in Little Rock and MT. Dunaway says that practically every one has announced his intention of attending the reun- ion. Everything points, he says, to the most successful homecoming that has ever been held by students of Hendrix college.
