Administrative/Biographical History
An 1893 Hendrix graduate, Reynolds was the first non-clergyman to serve as President. In 1897, he joined the history and political science department as a professor before continuing his teaching career at the University of Arkansas in 1902, where he was head of the history and political science department. Over the next decade, he developed a reputation as one of the state's most active scholars. At his retirement after thirty-two years of leadership, Reynolds left a legacy of new buildings, increased endowment, outstanding faculty members and graduates.
