Book Description

Excerpt from The 1924 Jambalaya With this foreword we present our best efforts for the an nual Tulane Jambalaya. It has been our earnest endeavor to achieve a representative annual, a strictly Tulane produc tion, which is at the same time both unique and picturesque in character. We have introduced several noteworthy de partures and have also designed the general scheme of the work with the purpose of furnishing as much of the atmos phere and charm of this lovable old campus and university as possible. The romantic pirateer and buccaneer, his dar ing fantastic exploits, comprising the most colorful period in Louisiana history, has been selected as the decorative plan of this book, and an effort made to convey that loveliness and beauty of the Southern clime which permeates its very life. We deem it not too extravagant to hope that our efforts to please you will not go unrewarded, and that you will close this volume with an inspired memory of days past which may make the distant prospect of life much more pleasant to view. If you do this we hope for no more. Our utmost aspira tions have been attained and heartily thank you for your consideration.
