COL. GEORGE T MADISON
By Joel L. Fletcher, Louisiana Education
LE BOCAGE VERT, Lafayette, Louisiana - Looking backward through the 46 years in which I was an employee of the Lafayette College and under the supervision of the State Board of Education, the long-term effective service of two members of the Board, Hon. Parrish Fuller of Oakdale and Col. George T. Madison of Bastrop, stand out like giants in the annals of Louisiana Public Education. Those two men could well be used as models of the type of person who should either be elected to or appointed to such educational boards. Mr. Fuller is a man of great vision and the head of a large manufacturing plant. Col. Madison was a very successful lawyer. These two men rendered a service to our schools which should never been forgotten by the citizens of our state. I plan to devote at least one of my columns to each of these men, and shall take up the career of the last Col. Madison in this one today.
