The September 11 Special Edition devoted considerable space to profiling the faculty of the new college. The profiles of the original faculty were not really complete; some faculty members had not arrived, some had no pictures, and others had little vita information. Since one of the purposes of the Heritage Series is to give the reader a feeling of what it would have been like in 1923, no additional profiles have not been supplied in this particular section. The profiles have been edited to give the flavor without requoting the entire pieces. Missing pictures of those featured, however, have been supplied. An analysis of the original faculty and their salaries are discussed elsewhere in this week's installment. (Jere Jackson)

T. E. Ferguson, Acting Registrar, M. A. Harvard

"Prof. Thos. E. Ferguson, head of the English Department of the teachers' college arrived Friday, accompanied by Mrs. Ferguson and little Miss Sarah, aged 6. Prof. and Mrs. Ferguson drove through the country from Mr. Ferguson's old Home, Stephenville, where they have been spending a short vacation. Prof. Ferguson was formerly a member of the faculty of the San Marcos Teachers' College and later an instructor in the University of Texas. The Fergusons will occupy a new bungalow cottage now nearing completion on Logansport street. We welcome these excellent people to our city and hope their stay will be both pleasant and continuous. Prof. Ferguson, though yet a young man, has earned for himself an enviable place in the educational world."

Miss Ruth Mays, The Dean of Women

"The copy man is due his readers an apology for not being able to present a picture herewith of Miss Ruth Mays, dean of women of the Teachers' College.

C. E. Ferguson

"C. E. Ferguson, Missourian by birth but Texan by adoption, will head the department of mathematics. . . . He holds a B. A. degree from S. M. U., Dallas and an M. A. degree from the University of Missouri.

"President Birdwell states that Mr. Ferguson is a regular "math shark," and that the slightest error in the solution of a math problem grates on Ferguson's intellectual nerves, even as raucous discord would disturb the soul of Paderewski.

"Nearly all college students love their math teacher. The reporter understands that this is especially true with Prof. Ferguson's students. It seems that he has discovered a magical method of imparting the science of mathematics so that algebra is a dream and solid geometry a delight."

Miss Jessie Ruth Gooldy - A Prize

Miss Jessie Ruth Gooldy, assistant in the English Department of the college, reached Nacogdoches Saturday afternoon, too late to secure a half-tone picture for this paper. . . .A Missourian by birth, a Texan by preference, a teacher by choice and a perfectly charming little lady by training and inheritance. . . .

The reporter predicts that the college library will be a popular institution with our young men and men who stay young.

J. H. Hinds

THE AGRICULTURE TEACHER. . . . Mr. Hinds' first lesson in agricultural science . . . .[was] received on his father's farm near Bullard. . . .He had found that the life of the average East Texas farmer is more strenous than joyful. . . . [B. A. from U. T. and M. S. from A & M College.] Prof. Hinds comes back to East Texas, the place of his birth, with no desire to infect the community with impractical ideas and high sounding phrases about farm life.

Miss Ida Pritchett

Teacher of Music . . . brings to her task a splendid professional training. . . . In Miss Pritchett the refining elements of the finest of the fine arts combine with an attractive personality. Her voice and manner blend in sweet harmony. If appearances deceive not, there isn't a harsh note in her make-up. This is not an attempt to picture Miss Pritchett as an angel in disguise. Fact is, she is very human--a regular guy, in fact. She refuses to rail at jazz, or to endorse it. In her opinion, it is essentially savage in its present form, though years of training might introduce elements of culture and refinement.

Miss Pritchett holds the degree of B. S. from George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville. She has studied in the artists classes of Victor Heinzia of Chicago and has studied under Clarence Dickinson of New York. Miss Pritchett [did her] graduate work in Columbia University.
