Dixie Boyd T Ememus P T . Bruce UW- ' ADMINISTRATW Dr. W. l-l. Bruce, presidenT oT NorTh Texas Trom l906 To l923, s+ill waTches The progress oT The insTiTuTion he used To direcT. AlThough he is noT as physically acTive now as Tormerly, he is s+iII a Tamiliar, well-loved Tigure on The campus. Making ends meeT is The giganTic Task oT Dixie Boyd, business manager oT The college. Since This iob depends on paTience and eTTiciency, The college has no worries wiTh lvlr. Boyd aT The wheel. Keeping expenses aT a minimum is a Thankless responsibiliTy, buT he handles The iob wiThouT criTicism. A good impression oT The college is assured all prospecTive sTudenTs ThaT come in conTacT wi+h The regisTrar, Alex Dickie. For The second year he also holds The TiTle oT DirecTor oT The Teachers' College uniT oT The Women's DeTense Corps. Because oT his Triendly personaliTy, Dr. Dickie is one oT The mosT popular oT The higher ups. Dean B. B. l-larris holds Two imporTanT TiTles aT lNlorTh Texas STaTe, Dean oT The College and DirecTor oT The DeparTmenT oT Biology. l-lis special educaTional inTeresTs lie in The conservaTion and use oT our naTural resources Tor The general social welTare. l-lunTing and Tishing, his hobbies, consume a large porTion oT his leisure hours. Theron J. l:ouTs, Dean oT Men aT NorTh Texas, has wide and varied duTies, as he is also DirecTor oT l-lealTh and Physical EducaTion. ln These posiTions he becomes associaTed wiTh mosT oT The men oT The college, all oT whom agree ThaT he is a lVlan's Man. Perhaps no oTher one woman has as much inTluence upon a girl's college career as does The Dean oT Women. AT NorTh Texas This responsibiliTy is ably Tilled by Miss EdiTh L. Clark. A naTionally known educaTional Tigure and The l:irsT Lady oT The campus Tor years, lvliss Clark has become an invaluable inTluence in The social, inTellecTual, and religious liTe oT our college.
