Swords, Collins W., D. D. S., New Orleans, was born in Big Cane, La., Nov.
4, 1891; son of Marion Lewis and Aola (Ward) Swords.  (For sketch of
parents and names of all children, see Marion Lewis Swords, elsewhere in
this work.)  In the course of his education, Collins W. Swords attended
Louisiana State university, Texas Christian university, Southwestern
Louisiana Industrial institute, and Soulé college, class of 1908.  After
finishing at Soulé college, the young man entered the office of his father,
at Opelousas, as chief deputy tax collector, and remained incumbent of that
position 1 year, following which he entered Northwestern university, at
Evanston, from which he graduated with the degree of D. D. S. as a member
of the class of 1912.  The doctor then opened offices at New Orleans, and
began practice, and since that time his profession has engrossed his
attention.  In addition to ministering to the requirements of an increasing
private practice, Dr. Swords fills the important position of chief of the
dental clinic of the Presbyterian hospital, New Orleans.  He is a member of
Psi Omega fraternity and of Northwestern University alumni association.  At
this time, the doctor is not a married man.
