The annual session of the Little
Rock Methodist conference (South)
adjourned here after compromising
the Vanderbilt University and the
Southern Methodist University of Dal-
las, Tex, controversy
Friends of Hendrix, Henderson,
Brown and Galloway Colleges, Metho-
dist institutions of Arkansas, gained
victory.
The Southern Methodist University
at Dallas was endorsed as a connec-
tional institution only, or as a general
conference school. 1t was not en-
dorsed as Little Rock conference
school. The resolution of the Educa-
tional Commission submitted to the
conference called for a complete en-
dorsement.
The objection offered to this COM
plete endorsement was that it would
take patronage from Hendrix, Hender-
son-Brown and Galloway.
In substance the Little Rock confer
ence went on record as favoring that
young men and women take courses
at one of the three Arkansas institu-
tions. When any student who grad
yates at either of the three schools in
the Little Rock conference wants to
take postgraduate or university
course the conference recommends to
him the Southern Methodist Univer-
sity at Dallas.

were reelected as trustees and P. c.

tee of Galloway College
