Joseph-Alphonse-Paul Cadotte was a professor of industrial engineering at the Ecole Technique de Montréal.

Life

He was born in Montreal on December 12, 1897. He was the son of Alfed Cadotte, merchant-tailor, and Dorilda Coutu, his wife, daughter of A. Coutu, of Saint-Gabriel de Brandon.

Paul Cadotte attended primary school at the Jardin de l'Enfance, and took science courses at Mont Saint-Louis. Paul Cadotte attended l'École Polytechnique de Montréal for two years before finishing his studies at l'École Technique, where he distinguished himself particularly by completing in only one year, a complete course on mechanical industry where three-quarters of it was published in the school's academic journal (les annales de l'École), and winning the gold medal in the provincial government bestowed upon the most deserving student. Paul Caodtte graduated with high distinction in 1919.

During the same year, he was appointed regular professor in the teaching of mathematics, industrial engineering and industrial design at the Technical School. Although relatively young, he was nonetheless considered an authority on technical education.

He was absorbed in his work and devoted almost exclusively to the education of his many students. He was considered an attractive man of athletic build and was adept in several sports - indoor and outdoor - QU'IL CULTIVE DU RESTE AVEC GRAND SUCCÈS. He most excelled in fitness, tennis, swimming and billiards. He was a key player in developing and promoting the game of tennis among French-Canadians. As a Life Member of the [[l'Association Athlétique National], he endeavoured greatly in making the Association an important institution in the Dominion of Canada.

On June 10, 1925 Paul Cadotte married Albertine Dufresne, daughter of F.-X. Dufresne from Montreal. Together they had one son, Pierre. They resided at 4918 rue Adam in Montreal.

Later in life, he married Serphine Benoit of Grand Bay, Dominica where they met. They later moved to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada where they resided. They had one son, John Cadotte.
