THE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION STAFF SCROGGS ALBRIGHT TROUT CRABLI' VVVALTERS BREWER MCCLENDON VIYHITESIDF E C. ALBRIGHT is assistant to the president. The countless minor duties ' of the president's office are effectively handled by Mr. Albright. Applica- tions for the student loan funds, requests of fee waivers, and the securing of speakers for convocations are examples of the duties that fall to the desk of the assistant to the president. Clement E. Trout, head of the journalism department, compiles and super- vises the printing of the catalogs and bulletins issued by the college. The publicity department, whose function it is to supply state papers with news matter regarding the school, is also under his direction. A. L. Crable, as director of correspondence studies, must oversee the thousands of papers connected with the studies of the students who are attending A. and M. by mail. Many students who are unable to attend the regular sessions are able to secure an education by this method. Miss Margaret Walters is the college librarian. The care of thousands of valuable volumes contained in A. and M.'s library, one of the finest in the South- west, is the responsibility entrusted to Miss Walters. Her job requires diligence and careful study. E. E. Brewer, purchasing agent, must have at his command the knowledge of where to buy the supplies required in the operation of the college. Every article used by the school is purchased through his office. Long years of experience have given him wisdom in his work that is a valuable asset to the college. Mr. Brewer sees that there is full value received for each dollar disbursed through his office. The Chief Clerk, T. B. McClendon, carries the key to the monies of the college. The collection of registration fees, the issuing of checks, and all bookkeeping and other records which pertain to college finances are handled through his otlice. In addition to his duties as assistant to the Dean of Engineering, George W. Whiteside has charge of the college power plant, the repairs department, and manifold other duties, Page Z0

THE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION STAFF STRONG GRAY PoTTs STRAHAIN SHIERROD MYERS NTARTIN AN educational institution the size of A. and M. College requires a capable staff of departmental administrators. It is their work to keep the various divisions of the educational machinery of the College working in harmony. Their efficiency, though not conspicuous to the casual observer, is a vital factor in the composite presentation of the school. Clint Strong, Business Manager, is directly in charge of all the business and financial affairs of the College. His is the responsibility of seeing that the budgets of the many departments of the school are balanced and so disbursed that each department is assured of a complete year's work. Dr. J. T. Gray, Dr. Eva Strahan, and Dr. H. B. Sherrod are in charge of the large Well-equipped college infirmary. To them is entrusted the health of the students. So efficient has been their work that epidemics, so susceptible to groups as closely associated as are college students, are apparently a thing of the past at A. and M. College. Dr. Gray is the college physician, Dr. Strahan is in care of Women patients, and Dr. Sherrod is dentist. Henry Clay Potts is the director of the short courses offered during the year. In addition he is usually called upon to plan a large percentage of the many banquets given in the college each year. His fame as a preparer of most excellent barbecued foods for outdoor occasions is widespread, and his services are in constant demand. L. D. Myers is Assistant Business Manager of the college. His work is to assist Mr. Strong in the business matters under his direction. A. Frank Martin, Personnel Director, is in charge of all student labor. His is the task of making the work available for students, and of reaching those who are needy and deserving. Students who work for the college are required to pass a reasonable percentage of their work and to be regularly enrolled. Schiller Scroggs, Director of Administrative Research, prepares the volumes of statistics that are necessary to the adequate record keeping of the school. This office compiles the grade averages of the schools, keeps the records of each en- rollment, has charge of the placement examination, examinations for freshmen, and sundry similar duties.
