Administrative/Biographical History
A 1900 Hendrix graduate, Stonewall Anderson was the first alumnus of Hendrix to become president of the institution. He believed in the mission of Christian education and devoted his tenure to the promotion of higher standards of scholarship. After serving as a tutor for the college in 1890-91, Anderson temporarily abandoned his studies to fill several pulpits for the Methodist Church, South, in Arkansas. When Anderson returned to Conway as a pastor, he resumed his college work and received his degree in 1900. He also served as presiding elder of the Church's Clarksville, Fort Smith and Fayetteville districts. He was serving as a member of the Hendrix Board of Trustees when he was elected president of the college in 1902. Author: https://www.hendrix.edu/leadership/presidents/
