Miss Laure Tauzin. In the death of Miss Laure Tauzin, March 20, 1912, the N01 nial School lost one of its most devoted workers. For eighteen years she went in and out among us, an example of faithfulness to duty and loyalty to service ; and when stricken by dread disease, she showed a pa- tience and heroism characteristic of a great spirit. Bom of French parentage and educated at the old Sacred Heart Convent, she belonged to the old regime, yet she adapted herself to the nezv order. After many years of teaching, she returned to school when the Nor- mal ziras established, took up the work with interest, finished the course, and later became one of its most efficient teachers. She served the Normal School as Critic Teacher and as Instructor in French Language and Literature, and to both she brought all the enthu- siasm and devotion of her ardent nature. Her pupils will long remember her as an eloquent teacher, and will bear through their lives the impress of her faithful service. The Normal School, strengthened by her life and work, will go forward, ever holding her in precious memory. 15

from the Slough of Despond ' ' by Louisiana ' s Horace Mann, Dr. James B. Aswell, Old buildings began to give way to modern structures on the Normal Campus. The Convent building, with its haunted cells, yielded its site to an immense academic creation in brick and terra cotta; The society halls, S. A. K. and E. L- S., that had been the forum for many voices now heard in chambers of commerce and legislative halls as well as on the educational stump defending the rights of the child, vanished. No longer did Mrs. Lobdell ' s clap resound through the great corridors on Saturday evenings warning the reluctant ones of the lateness of the hour. And a day came when one of the teachers of the Normal was going away. He went. Dr. Aswell relinquished his position as head of the educational system of this State to take control of the affairs of the School which he loved and whose Faculty and Alumni, many of whom he had taught, reposed in him the utmost confidence and devotion ; this confidence and devotion were well placed, for to-day a New Normal stands on the old Hill Three years were quite sufficient for a man of his great organizing ability, masterly energy, and unswerving faithfulness in following up the worthiest in life to lay such plans both for the outward form and inward spirit of this New Normal that it will meet the needs of the State, even in the distant future. The old scenes on the Campus familiar to the graduates of the ' 90s — the walks, the trees, the buildings — have disappeared or are disappearing. The Ma- tron ' s building will remain as a monument to Ye Normal of ye olden time. Stately modern buildings of brick and stone are finding abiding-places among the tall pines. Hundreds of electric lights flash out from the Hill and drive ways. The sun sinks in erstwhile splendor behind the great forest. An earnest little man from south Louisiana sits in the office of the New Academic, talking to the girl who ought to go home for her health, and answering telegrams from the Superintendents who wish to employ the services of graduates. The needs of the State are greater than ever before. The power of the Alma Mater increases with occasions. A new bell suspended from the great water-tower announces study hour. Hundreds answer its summons where tens did in the past. Silence prevails The forces that produced the Normalite of the past are still oper- ating. The spiiit of the Alma Mater will always animate the lives of those who dwell on Normal Hill, mm m$t 14
