Who's Who
 IN H E N D R l X

Once upon a time-just when does not make so much difference-near the little village of Rudy, Crawford county, Arkansas, was born little Lewis Edgar Winfrey. This small boy worked on a farm with his father for a number of years. Here he re- ceived his early training and had in- stiled into him those sterling qualities which we see manifesting themselves in his manhood days.
 We see him now tottering around after his mother, uttering accents more of German and French than of English, looking up into her face, seek ing her approval and smile for every little surprised achievement that he accomplshes. Now as he patters about the place running chores for father, ever happy and cheerful, anxi- ous always to tighten fathers burdens and make father happy. Now we see him hastening off to the little village school with the other children, not having at that time the slightest idea that the fate of college professor was awaiting him, but even, at this young age showing remarkable zeal and aptness in books.
 We follow him through these few years and we see him entering the Van Buren High School, where he completes creditably the course of study as prescribed by the curriculum of that school. His ambition, however, lis not to be satisfied with high school certificate.
 As he reaches the years of young manhood we see him walking modestly into the halls of the University of Ar kansas and there we see him as he moves quietly and with resolute step among his fellows-so resolute that he impresses his fellows and his in structors with his ability and his pro- ficicrcy. So apt is he that he com pletes the course in four years and is assistant professor in modern lan- guages during his senior year, despite the fact that he was out one half year on account of his fathers death.
 We next see him assuming the posi- tion of instructor of modern languages in Morrilton High School and so we'll does he fill that position that the board of trustees of Hendrix College insists that he accept the chair of Modern Languages in this institution. He ap- pears on the scene of action at the opening of the session of 1910-11. So young does he look that many fresh men have been heard to ask, Who is that boy with the book under his arm?' But the freshmen soon find him out
 Having spent two years in this in- stitution he finds his ambition yet un- satisfied. We again see him as he walks on board the steamer and sets sail for Europe -methinks he can be heard to exclaim: Goodness me!
  Sweetheart, Mother Fresh Air,
 After fourteen months of study and travel in Germany and other parts of Europe we find him back in the chair of Modern Languages. And so thor ough is he in his profession that the students do not question his compe- tency, His modest and courteous man. ners soon win the love of his students
 Why he sews on his own buttons, darns his own hose. has no chickens to feed or cows to milk and so on, is matter better explained by him; but some one has said that since the re- ecption Monday night he has been somewhat disturbed in his manner of living, and has been heard to say, "If l only knew," What?-Hendrix Col lege Bulldog
