. --- .... crewcr College days are happy days. Experiences worth recalling, moments worth re -living, are a part of every college year. Many friends a re made, hundreds of acquaintances. Those forgotten may be easily recalled by a word or a picture. Because four years among friends are short at their longest. it is desirable to carry away a complete record of these years-a record which will mean more and more as years go by. Preserved are not only the memories of school life but the birth of Harding and her growth through the years. Her history is revealed through the six steps- the six schools that pointed and poved the way to the Harding we have today . May the Petit Jean with its portrayal of Co!lege Hfe and its historical sketch of Harding College be an inspi ration and a reminde r of the Chri stian prmciples that are a part of it and a recaller of many memories that are pleasant.

ication In keeping with the theme of the 1940 Petit Jeon, which pictures the progress of Harding College from the frame building on the beautiful blue-grass campus at Bowling Green, Kentucky, in 1901 to the culmination of that progress in the burning of the mortgage that freed the school from debt, we dedicate this yeor's volume of the Petit Jean to Dr. George S. Benson. We began together. When Dr. Benson became president of the school, we began as freshmen. We have watched him shoulder every burden of the institulion and meet every problem bravely. He attacked the debt that had been hovering over Harding for years, and before our senior year was half over, the debt was removed. We have admired his courage and energy. And above all else we respect him because he staunchly stands for that which is right in the sight of God. His zeal and earnestness in missionary work has inspired others to devote their lives to carrying the message of life to those across the sea. The lnes· limable good that he did in his ten years of missionary work will live forever. We have listened intently to his interesting accounts of China and the Chinese people. And now because we look to the future of Harding as well as to the past, we look also to the one who has done so much in so short a time, the one whom we believe will have an integral part in the school's future progress. Because in him we see a life that is a challenge to us all; because we see one who will go forward always and will never turn back; because he has guided us skillfully along these four years of life, we, the seniors of 1940 who will leave as he has only begun, dedicate this 1940 Petit Jean to Dr. George S. Benson.

BOOK I COLLEGE
(fottOl. SLbQ~ CoQQ~CJ~ " ,- - '<'.- I , .. "~.;:,.:,, Two large buildings on a campus covered with blue grass and giant oak trees marked the beginning of a school that in later years was to be known as Harding College. Potter Bible College was founded in the fall of 190 I by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Potter, Bowling Green, Kentucky. The beginning of the school was unusual and interesting. Eldon Potter, a nephew of C. C. Potter, became heir to sixty thousand dollars on his twenty·first birthday. Before the year had gone, he died leaving the money to Mr. and Mrs. Potter. In 3eeking a way to use this money for the greatest good they decided to establish a Bible School. They also gave a one hundred and forty-acre farm for the school's use. Potter Bible School was really an outgrowth of David-Lipscomb College, Nashville, Tennessee. After the buildings were prepared at Bowling Green, part of the David·Lipscomb faculty moved there to help begin the new institution. James A. Harding, who had been president of David·Lipscomb for ten years, became the first president. Dr. J. N. Armstrong was Greek, Hebrew and Bible teacher and Mrs. Armstrong taught physical education. These are the only ones who began with the school and came through the years with it. R. C. Bell and R. N. Gardner were also members of the faculty. About one hundred and twenty-five students were enrolled in this first Harding which had a faculty of nine teachers. The school was a junior college with no standardization. But there was no standardization among the Christian schools in the early days of Bible teaching. In this first step toward Harding College nine dollars a month covered all expenses- board, tuition, and fees. For eleven years, Potter Bible school instructed boys and girls in Christian living. For ten years James A. Harding was president, doing the work of thirty years in ten, In 1912 the school was converted into an orphan's home, But the spirit of Harding was not lost for another Christian school had been started in the meanwhile.

Echoing through the vale; Hail to thee, beloved Harding! Alma Mater, hail! Christian standard is her mol/o; Christian lile is stressed: And in every branch of learning Each one does his best. Harding opens wide her portals, Thus inviting all Who would tread the path of knowledge; Heed then to her call. Florence M. Cathcart.

Dr. J. N. Armstrong, then on the faculty at Bowling position there to become president of the new school. The locating of the college at Odessa makes an interesting story. A. D Gardner, one of the founders of the school was interested in having the schae locate near Paragould, Arkansas. He offered thirty-five acres of land for the school's use. However, when the people at Odessa heard of plans for th school, they were willing to provide buildings already prepared. Consequently the second step toward Harding College began at Odessa, Missouri. In the fall of 1905 when the doors of the new school were first opened there were approximately fifty boarding students and fifty local students. R. C. Bell, B. F. Rhodes, R. N. Gardner, and Woodson Harding Armstrong were on the faculty of eleven members. Failing health caused Dr. Armstrong to resign as president of the schoo after the first two years. He was successded by R. N. Gardner, who was presi· dent for eight years. Doors were closed in 1916 and support was thrown to the next step toward Harding College which was at Cordell, Oklahoma.
