HENDRIX AS SEEN
 BY REV. CULPEPP[R
fXCElS ANY IN SOUTH
Methodist Evangelist Who Held Re. vival Here, Pays High Tribute
 to Local College.

l A high tribute to Hendrix College is paid in this weeks issue of the Nashville Christian Advocate by Rev. Burke Culpepper of Memphis, the evangelist who conducted notable revival meeting at Conway in Feb ruary. Rev. Culpepper is enthusias- tic in his praise of the institution, which he declares to be superior of any school he has found for young men in the south. His article in full appears below:
 Eureka! 1 have found it! After having almost despaired of finding 8 first-class A-grade college, where heart and head are trained alike, have at last found it in Hendrix Col lege. So often a young man returns home from college debauched in mor- als and estranged from the church until it has become serious prob- lem as to where father and mother should send their sons to school.
 "In February it was my good pleas ure to go to Conway, Ark, and help that nobleman of God, Brother F. s. H. Johnston, in a meeting, an account of which has appeared in former issue of the Advocate. had heard and read much of Hendrix College; but it remained for me to see this school, come in contact with faculty and student body to appreciate fully what the school really meant to the | young manhood of our southland. l "I was impressed from the start with the splendid personnel of the faculty, the men who are training our young men from all over the country.
 1 "Dr. Reynolds is prince among men. First, he is Christian gentle man. He has all the characteristics that go to make up really great college president. He shares not only the confidence of the faculty and stu dent body, but the town believes in him. He has a good and wholesome influence upon the entire community. If were going to illustrate with a wheel, l would say that, with Dr. l Reynolds as the hub, there is not weak spoke in the wheel The entire faculty are men of brain and heart.
 "One beautiful incident of the ! meeting there was that one of. the professors heard the lessons of some of the young men each afternoon af ter service in one of the rooms of the church in order that they might attend the meeting.
 "The teachers co-operated with the evangelist and pastor, and as result every young man in the entire school who was not Christian was convert ed during the meeting.
 "One thing that will impress moth CTS and fathers most about sending their boys to Hendrix is that they leave the college not only we'll edu- cated, but are rich in Christian expe- rience. There is an absence of cigar cite smoking and obscene language that is positively refreshing. The athletics are clean and wholesome, and many of the young men are lead ing prayer meetings and helping their fellow students to find Christ, and during the revival in Conway one section of the balcony was reserved for Hendrix College, and the many young men who testified and did per sonal work were great help to the meeting.
 Il consider Hendrix College the su- perior of any school l have found for young men in the southland. un- hesitatingly say that a young man | will come back from Hendrix College more religious than when he went there. The atmosphere is conducive to moral and spiritual character"
