Historical SketchHenderson State University has a unique history. The only Arkansas university which has beencontrolled by both church and state; it is the only public institution named for an individual. Ofthe nine Arkansas public universities, HSU is one of two originally established as four year,degree conferring institutions and is the second oldest university under state control. Theuniversity has operated for a century under six names: Arkadelphia Methodist College (1890 1904), Henderson College (1904 - 1911), Henderson Brown College (1911 - 1929), HendersonState Teachers College (1929 - 1967), Henderson State College (1967 - 1975) and HendersonState University (since 1975).Henderson State University had its beginnings on November 6, 1889, when Arkadelphia civicleaders and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held a town meeting at theChurch to discuss establishment of a Methodist college for Arkadelphia and south Arkansas.Leaders of the movement, however, became convinced that the interest of the community couldbest be served by securing Hendrix College, an established Methodist institution then subject torelocation. Arkadelphia's failure to secure Hendrix College resulted in implementation of theoriginal plan.The institution was founded on March 24, 1890, and was incorporated as Arkadelphia MethodistCollege. It was chartered as a four year, co-educational, baccalaureate liberal arts college. TheCollege opened on September 3, 1890, with 110 students and 10 faculty members. The name waschanged to Henderson College in 1904 to honor Charles Christopher Henderson, a Trustee andprominent local businessman. In 1911, the name was amended to Henderson Brown College tohonor Walter William Brown, who was also a Trustee.From its founding in 1890 until 1925, the College also operated an academy which providedinstruction for students desiring high school courses and for those not prepared to enter thecollegiate curriculum. Henderson was a sister institution of Hendrix College. In 1929, theeducational commission of the Arkansas Methodist Conference proposed that the two colleges bemerged in Little Rock. However, through the efforts of Arkadelphia citizens and religious andpolitical leaders of south Arkansas, the institution, then known as Henderson Brown College,was offered to the State of Arkansas. The Arkansas General Assembly enacted legislation (Act46) to "establish a standard Teachers College in Arkadelphia," and Henderson became a daughterof the state.At present, degree programs are offered through the Matt Locke Ellis College of Arts andSciences, the School of Business, the Teachers College, and the Graduate School. In addition toits own degree program in nursing, Henderson also operates the only aviation degree program inArkansas. In 1951, Henderson became a graduate center for the University of Arkansas and, in1955, instituted its own graduate program. The university now confers six graduate degrees:MAT, MBA, MLA, MS, MSE, and Ed.S.2
