“"The present suit is in effect an action against the Louisiana State Normal College, as defendant, is sued as president, or in his representative capacity. (sic) "The Normal College, however, is not a corporation. Since the passage of Act No. 100 of 1922, the Normal College is not capable of standing in judgment, as all suits affecting it must be defended by the state board of education, under the express provisions of Section 1, of Act No. 100 of 1922. "Since the Normal College itself has no legal status, it follows that its president is likewise incapable of standing in judgment in matters pertaining to it. The governing body being the state board of education, suits involving its administration of other educational institutions must necessarily be brought against the state board."”
