EDXVARD MADISON SHACKELFORD President and Professor of Civics No one else ever connected with the Troy Normal School has been so completely identified with its history as Prof. Shackelford, there never having been a day since its establishment that he was not an active member of its teaching force. He was born at Pintlala. llilontgomery County, Ala., Feb. 1, 1803. His primary training was received in the local school. At the age of eighteen he entered the University of Alabama and finished the course in 1885 with the A. B. degree. Three years later his Alma Hater granted him the honorary degree of A. M. ln Sept., 1885, he began teaching in the Troy Klale High School, and continued until that institution was sup- planted by the State Normal College. His after history as Professor of English and Science, English and Civics, and after 1899, as President and Professor of Civics, is set forth in the history of the Institution. He was married to Kliss Rosa Lee Brantley of Troy on the twenty-third anniversary of his birth. Professor Shackel- ford has never held any public position not connected with the school, except that he was Superintendent of the Sun- day School of the First Baptist Church for about eight years.
