BOARD EXPECTED
 T0fLfC1 REYNOLDS
AS HENDRIX PRESIDENT
HAS RESIGNED FROM UNIVER- SITY AND WILL ACCEPT, IT
 IS BELIEVED.

Dr. John Hugh Reynolds will this afternoon be nominated by the execu- tive committee of the Hendrix College board of trustees to be president of the college, succeeding Dr. 4. C. Mil lar, whose resignation was recently ac- cepted, in the opinion of those in clos est touch with the college. The com nittee met in the office of Treasurer W. E. Hubbell at 3 o'clock this after noon.
 | Whether Dr. Reynolds will accept is not known positively, but members of the board here today feel very hope ful that he will become Hendrix's next president. Dr. Reynolds yesterday re- signed as acting president of the Uni versity of Arkansas, and informed the board that he would not accept the presidency of the University, to which lit was thought he would certainly be elected.
 Chairman Geo. w. Donaghey of the Hendrix board said today that defi- nite acceptance or rejection of the Hendrix presidency by Dr. Reynolds would be received here tomorrow morning.. This answer was promised aC this time by Dr. Reynolds at the last conference the members of the board held with him. l In view of his resignation at Fay etteville, Mir. Donaghey is encouraged to believe that Dr. Reynolds has al ready forwarded his acceptance of the position at the head of Hendrix Col lege, and that he will probably assume the new position at once.
 Should his acceptance be received, Dr. Reynolds formal election will oc- cur at the next regular meeting of the entire board of trustees. The execu- tive committee, however, has already been given authority to select a new president to succeed Dr. Millar, and the election will merely be ratifica- tion of the committees choice.
 Dr. Reynolds is a native son of Faulkner county and is an alumnus of and former professor in Hendrix Col lege. He has been awarded the de- gree of doctor of philosophy by the University of Chicago, and is regard ed as one of the states most brilliant educators. The presidency of Hendrix was tendered him once before, when Dr. Stonewall Anderson resigned, but at that time he chose to remain as professor Nf history in the University of Arkansas, which position he held until the resignation of Dr. John H. Tillman resulted in his election as act ing president of the University. This place has been held by him for two years, during which time he has ac- comphshed much.
 A dispatch from Fayetteville last night says of Dr. Reynolds resigna- tion
 1 Acting President Reynolds cleared the atmosphere and removed all doubts <&ocAL '1Ao NouioS ClilS at tIe first meeting of the board held in the presence of the university faculty. He rendered his resignation as acting president and eliminated himself en- [tirely from the presidential situation. It is now learned that Prof. Reynolds had decided to take this step several days ago, but had kept it to himself, having let no one know his plans. He still declines to say what he will do. It is known that the Hendrix propo- sition, in rather fattering form, is before him, and that if they will meet some rather hard conditions pre- scribed by him it is believed he will accept. It was announced later today that the board had already made it plain to the present faculty that an outside man would be elected to the position and that none of them need plan on being elected. The election of successor to Dr. Adams was not agreed upon today; however, it is said that Prof. Martin Nelson is being se- riously considered.
