EXTENSION AND PLACEMENT SERVICES As the result of his success in placing graduates of this college, Mr. Farring- ton has hundreds of friends scattered throughout Texas a n d surrounding states. Through his close personal ac- quaintance with changes in the field and his keen insight into teaching personal- ities, and their ability, he has helped our Students to find the work for which they were best suited. Out of 607 grad- uates of 1936, only seven of those who applied for positions are not now teach- ing. In 1919 Mr. Farrington came to the College from Denton High School as teacher of hi ory. Since 1927, he has been diredor of the Placement Service. Under J. E. Blair ' s diredion, the Ex- tension Department has enrolled many non-resident ftudents in courses offering credit toward a college degree. Mr. Blair has his Bachelor of Arts degree from North Texas State Teachers College and his Masl:er of Arts degree from Southern Methodisf University. In 1 92 1 he came here from Corsicana, where he had been superintendent of schools, and joined our faculty as Pro- fessor of Education. Six years later, in 1927, his duties were extended to in- clude those of Diredor of the Extension Department, a place which he has thoughtfully and efficiently filled since that time.

For twenty-one years the young wom- en of this College have been guided by the hand of Edith L. Clark, Dean of Women, counselor, teacher, and psy- chologist. Intellecftually, morally, re- ligiously, and socially, this adopted mother of the girls has been a rong influence for better living in the College. After receiving the degrees of Bache- lor of Literature and Ma er of Arts at the University of Texas, Miss Clark came to North Texas State Normal Col- lege as professor in the English depart- ment, where she served until the Ad- miniftration recognized that she pos- sessed the rare qualities which distin- guish the ideal Dean of Women. DEANS OF MEN AND WOMEN In 1920 Theron J. Fonts, Dean of Men and Diredor of Athletics, came to Teachers College from the position of Professor of Chemistry and Diredor of Athletics in Burleson College. He re- ceived his Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University and his MaSter of Arts degree from Southern MethodisT: University. Dean Fonts has developed an out- standing department of Athletics in this inSl:itution and has successfully spon- sored the largest recreational center in the State. Since the fall of 1932 Mr. Fonts has been Dean of Men, bringing to this offiice his varied experiences with the men of the College.
