March 12, 1929

Henderson-Brown College at Arkadelphia (Clark County) was merged with Hendrix College in Conway (Faulkner County) as Hendrix-Henderson College because of the pressure of financial needs among the Methodist Church–sponsored schools. After about two years, the Henderson part of the name was dropped. At about the same time, Galloway Women’s College in Searcy (White County) was merged in also, and Hendrix College became the only Methodist school of higher education in the state for white students.
