 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 a victory.
 The Southern Methodist University at Dallas was endorsed as a connec- tional institution only, or as a general conference school. It 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, Tender 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 uates at either of the three schools in the Little Rock conference wants to take a postgraduate or university course the conference recommends to him the Southern Methodist Univer- sity at Dallas.
 Judge Frank Smith and T. D. Scott were reelected as trustees and P. c. Fletcher was elected to take the place of J. M. Workman. resigned, as trus- tee of Galloway College.
 C. c. Henderson, J. A. Parker and W. NJ. Hayes were elected to succeed themselves, and w. C. Davidson was elected to succeed J. R. Rhodes. de- ceased, and Leslie Goodloe to succeed w. w. Brown, resigned. as trustee of Henderson-Brown College.
