Norman Francis

Dr. Norman Christopher Francis (born March 20, 1931 in Lafayette, Louisiana), was the president of Xavier University of Louisiana. He served the position from 1968-2015, making him, in addition to being the only lay (non-clergy) president of Xavier, the second longest-tenured current leader of an American college or university and .〔http://www.xula.edu/specialevents/gala.php〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.black-collegian.com/issues/2ndsem04/francis2004-2nd.shtml )〕 He previously also served as the chairman of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, the state agency in charge of planning the recovery and rebuilding of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita.〔Katherine Mangan "America's Longest-Serving College President Has More to Do" ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'' 7January 14, 2013 (paid content )〕 He has also been the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

==Family==
Norman Francis started out in life as poor and under-privileged, but — as he said later — he did not know that he was poor and under-privileged. Francis was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, the son of poor parents, neither of whom had finished high school. His father was a barber who rode to work each day on a bicycle because the family did not own a car. He earned pocket money by shining shoes on Lafayette's main street. His parents
felt that Norman, his three sisters and his brother needed an education. Norman and his brother and sisters attended Catholic schools and his parents saw to it that the children rarely missed school. "I had to have a fever, and really be ill before I dared to try to miss school", he has said. His parents also made certain that the children attended Mass on Sunday, and were punctual in their religious duties.
His brother was Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Francis of Newark, who retired from active ministry in 1995, and died in 1997.
