Pratiifr Varnado Ford Herei ord It has been the wise policy of President Fredericks to allocate to various members of the faculty certain administrative duties. Perhaps the most outstanding of these posi- tions are held by the deans: Dr. Ford, Dean of Instruction; Mr. Prather, Dean of Men; Miss Varnado, Dean of Women; and Mrs. Hereford, Dean of Students Boarding in Town. Dr. Ford is a graduate of the Normal, Louisiana State University, and George Pea- body College for Teachers. He has had many years ' experience as a teacher and su- pervisor, and has served as Dean of Instruc- tion here at the college for three years. During this time, Dr. Ford has made val- uable studies regarding the standards of teaching and study maintained at the col- lege, and has done much toward the raising of these standards. Coach Prather has served in the capacity of Dean of Men for a number of years. His sense of absolute fairness and his unpreju- diced attitude has made for him an enviable reputation. His contacts with the men stu- dents, made possible by his position as ath- letic coach, as well as Dean of Men, have had much to do with the fine type of men which the Louisiana State Normal College gives to the state as teachers. The position as Dean of Women is filled by one who has had many years of experi- ence in this field of work. Miss Dean Var- nado has been at the college for many years, and during this time has endeared herself to the many women students who have studied here. In order to know her influence, one has only to talk to graduates of this college, who always speak of the council and guid- ance received from her while here in the col- lege. At the beginning of the fall term, Presi- dent Fredericks allowed many of the Normal girls to board in town. Mrs. Hereford was given the position as Dean of the Town Girls. Mrs. Hereford was for many years Dean of Women at the college, and there tore has had much valuable experience in this work. She is also Director of Social Activities at the college. Page 2 I
