George Carroll of Spearsville Wins First in Class at Tulane Medical College, 1895
Farmerville "Gazette", issue of Wednesday, 20 March 1895, page 3
==================================================================================

It is always gratifying to THE GAZETTE to make mention of all good work accomplished 
or honors won by any citizen of this parish and especially is this true when it is a 
young lady or gentleman who has brought honor upon the parish by distinction won in 
their studies in school away from home. Therefore we are pleased to learn that Mr. 
George Carroll, a young gentleman about twenty years of age, son of Mr. J. A. Carroll, 
of Spearsville, La., in a competitive examination in the Tulane Medical College of 
New Orleans last month for a position as a resident student at the charitable hospital 
in that city won first honors in a class of sixty young men. This honor is one of 
which Mr. Carroll and his friends will greatly appreciate when it is known that among 
those composing th eclass are some of the most brilliant young men of the State. Mr. 
Carroll is a young man of splendid traits and we feel satisfied he will continue 
through life to win distinction in his chosen profession.
