Dean

From Srafopedia

One of the Scholars of Jordan College privy to the meeting with Lord Asriel in the Retiring Room. Plays a small role; in questioning the Palmerian Professor's knowledge base, inevitably shows that there exist small manners of dispute amongst the Scholars. The name "Dean" is given to a member of educational staff that directs an academic or adminsistrative division of a university or college [ TGC/NL, Chapter 2]
