By LINDA FLOYD Miss Beatrice Bland, associate professor of education and director of the reading clinic, has recently completed work for the doctor's degree, which will be conferred upon her on June 8. Dr. Bland, a graduate of Longwood College, comments that upon viewing her undergraduate record, one would consider her "the most unlikely candidate for a doctor's degree.' However, several years later, she earned the master's degree at Columbia University and now she is about to take the doctoral degree from the Universi-
ty of Virginia. Dr. Bland worked as an •ltmentary supervisor in Rockiiu ham UDd llenrico counties and held the position of educational consultant for HoughtonMifflin Publis i| 10) bi joining the faculty al Loagwood in 1965. Dr. Bland is excited about another position .in ii.i i •■! i nil;, acquired.
