Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the educational background of the agents of the central power in the territory ('the prefectoral corps') between 1918 and 1940. The subjects of our analysis are the prefects and theirs subordinates (the 'subprefect' and the 'pretor'). The purpose is to study the demands of the State concerning the formation of these civil servants and the value of the higher education in their administrative career. After the First World War, the number of students and higher education diplomas had increased but this accumulation of human capital and the improvement of the higher education system are not always noticeable in the prefectoral body formation, characterized by geographic and generational disparities. A particular feature is that a lot of prefects drew their political legitimacy on prestigious professions: lawyer, high school professor, medicine doctor, military officer or priest.
