My plan was to hide 2 letterboxes on the Williams Baptist College Campus, but the landscaping is too perfect to find a good, safe spot. So, I planted this and another box close-by.

Williams Baptist College opened as Southern Baptist College in 1946, on land purchased following the 1945 closure of the Walnut Ridge Army Flying School at the end of WW II. Many WW II soldiers used their GI Bill to attend this college. Be sure to visit the close-by Wings of Honor WW II Museum that describes the interesting military history of the area.

Clues to the Box: Fulbright Ave takes you straight into the brick and metal front entrance of the Williams Baptist College. Just before entering, you will see the small Zion Cemetery on your left. The box is located in the roots of a tree with a huge, thick trunk, next to a metal enclosure in the cemetery. The box is in a hole that faces away from the metal enclosure under a rock and dirt.
(Finders report that the rock isn't staying on the box, the tree is breaking down near the box and that they have to dig down to find the box.)
