HENDRIX WILL SEND
 OUT LYCEUM COURSE
Lyceum Course Under Prof. Camp bell to Cover Most Important
 Towns of State.


 southern college in recent years was decided upon by a joint faculty and student committee short time ago. Next year and in the following years Hendrix is to send out over a few picked towns of the state a complete Lyceum Course, the series to include 1 concert companies and lecturers to bel selected from the college.
 It is difficult to estimate the value 1 of the proposed series either as a means of advertising to the college or Tn the value to the students who take part. Two one week tours each year are to be made, and in addition to these trips over the state the stu dents will receive much experience that will be of value to them. It Is supposed that there will be no diff culty in placing the whole band out i m ChautauqUa work during the sum- mers and many of the others will be placed with different companies In. this work the students can save mon- l ey, get eudcati8n for twelve months in the year and see the whole nation Also they get to travel in companies of students like themselves and notI with groups of foreign musicians.
 In the short time the course has been known several students have ex- | pressed their intention of coming to Hendrix who had not considered it be- fore. It is confidently expected that | next September will bring the largest number of musical and dramatic re- crults the college has even received. No other college in this or surround 1 ing states is offering anything like this, and the more ambitious would include the Band O. Singers, the Glee 1 Club, a Dramatic Club and two lectur- CTS. Rev. Reyes has consented to give a series of addresses to the boys for which he is so well known here should be of exceeding interest to the | towns who are to hear him. Dr. Reynolds is well known over the en- tire south as a speaker, but has not yet decided upon his subject. Prof | Staples is to offer, either a series of Tales or "Reminiscences of the Old Southland or talk on some phase oi the citizenship question, giving a 1 picture of the ku KluX, both new and old. Any of Prof. Staples students would look forward to these talks with the greatest interest. Any of these lectures will be much above the average lyceum talk.
 Little needs to be said about the | musical organizations. However there is plan now to secure a musical d. 1. rector to take charge of the whole thing. Thus the policy of offering the best possible group instruction free will be kept up, and in addition there will be an opportunity to study 1 under the best private teachers that can be secured This would meet long felt need. If this is done Mir i Campbell will be free to devote all of | his time to the dramatic club, and with Mrs. Gooden the two should turn out club that will be a credit to the college. Mrs. Gooden has proved her | ability beyond a doubt as being one of the best in the state, and the dra- matic work is Mr. Campbell's forte.
 The entire course will be more or less under faculty supervision, but Prof. Campbell was made faculty su- pervisor of the series, with J. E.. San ders, Jr., student manager. The plan is to offer the course to large num- Der of towns in alternate years. Con- tracts have been closed, practically with Augusta, Brinkley, Carlisle Lonoke, Clarendon and Forrest City for next year. MT. Sanders will be in the southern part of the state the early part of this week to secure the six other dates, which will be around Pine Bluff, Fordyce, Camden and others.
 The prospects now indicate that the course should be a great success For one thing the towns who receive the course should count themselves 1-nr,, tho cOnrca ic +O he
