George Stuart Benson

President, Harding College (1936-1965)

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

I am pleased to announce that I have withdrawn executive privilege for JD Bales.

He is now free to share everything I never said and anything he doesn't remember.

@Harding_COBA I guess there were no free-market countries with non-socialist, nationalized health care systems left to visit.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

I am pleased to report that the Harding College Board of Trustees has *finally* approved my request to remove Russian dressing from the salad bar in the Pattie Cobb cafeteria.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

It hurts me to go against my numerous Republican friends (especially our donors) but I hated Bolsheviks before before hating Bolsheviks was cool.

@HardingSports

I am so blessed that Coach Simmons never found my office desk.

Go Bisons!

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

I have been asked by the Harding College Board of Trustees to clarify that we have never had a dormitory named after this man.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

I like (M)Ike

Spoiler alert…

My apologies in advance if any of you had Dr. GSB on your BINGO card.

Ties,like soccer, are socialist.

Always nice to win the Arkansas jihad.

Stay in your lane, Calvinists.

@HardingU Just as long as it’s vanilla.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

I remember when the Encyclopedia of AR took this picture…

Dr. B: Where are you going to use this photo?

EoA: On our banner. You’ll be surrounded by women of color who are college graduates.

Dr. B: (laughing out loud) No, seriously… where will you use it?

EofA: Stay tuned.

A @HardingU freshman from Mount Prospect, Illinois sent this to me as a song request for our “missions chapel” this semester.

I ran it by my intern and I still don’t get it.

Still laughing

@deodungha Attention Harding College community:

Your face masks can be found in your songbooks at 728b.

And please stop that PDA in the balcony.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

I’ll never forget the evacuation of the Harding College President’s office in 1964.

We destroyed a lot of documents but still feel bad about leaving my intern behind.

Youth Ministry majors have always been slow runners.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

I join the few dozen baseball fans congratulating the Cleveland baseball team for changing their nickname to “Guardians.”

Now if we could get Cincinnati to drop their patently obvious Bolshevik moniker.

#BetterDeadThanReds

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

Please stop with the phone calls and text messages to Dr. GSB.

I am not eligible to be the next president of Harding College.

I was informed by the Harding Board of Trustees in 1965 that I was term-limited.

Something about bluebirds.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

For those of you who have been putting off making a generous donation to Harding College because of the virus, I have been informed by the head of our biology department, Dr. PF Chang, that personal checks cannot possibly transmit Covid-19.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

As a three-peat honorary PhD, I find this highly offensive.

[George Stuart Benson @drgeorgebenson]

Stay in your lane, son.

And get a haircut.
