DEAN DRENNON Besides having been Dean of the Graduate School since its creation at the college here in 1935, Dr. Herbert Drennon is teaching sev- eral English classes. A fine speaker and accomplished writer, Dr. Dren- non has been found to be unsur- passed in his own particular style of biting humor. He has already carved his own personal niche in the hearts of the students of State.

DEAN B. P. BROOKS The Schools of Education and Busi- ness Administration, under the ca- pable leadership and remarkable ability of Dean Brooks, have taken a ranking position in the academic curriculum. A popular man with all students on the campus, Dean Brooks is always willing to stop and talk with any and every one. As acting Dean of the Business School, he has added duties, but does not let it interfere with his being an inter- ested confidant of students. EDUCATION SCHOOL The School of Education is using all possible facilities at its disposal to acquaint students in its embrace with the needs, both social and economic, of the State of Mississippi. Training courses designed to teach students how to adapt them- selves to presented problems is one of its main features. Modern theories with up-to-date methods are used in train- ing those enrolled in the School of Education. Realizing that world conditions are constantly changing, the School of Education continually changes also. New techniques, newer teaching styles, and all-inclusive courses enables the students to keep up with the modern educa- tional methods that are being successfully used throughout other sections of the United States. 18

He was Professor of Zoology and Entomology, receiving his B.S. in 1917 at Mississippi State, and his M.S. in 1931 at Mississippi State, and Ph.D. at Iowa State in 1937.
