The poem “De Minimus” (For the Smallest Thing), which was written by Fay Hempstead to show how every great thing in nature arose from something small, was read (presumably by the author) at the dedication of Little Rock Commercial College. Hempstead was an attorney, poet, and dedicated member of the Freemasons who also wrote the first school textbook on Arkansas history.
