Introduction. No longer the tender infant, nor yet the jovial, playful child, but a sturdy youth, full of hope and coxu-age for the future, does Tulane ' s third annual go out from us, its foster-parents, to gladden the heart of the student and to better acquaint the stranger with our great University. Following the advice of Solomon, Train up a child in the way he should go, ouv predecessors have greatly lightened our labors with this youth, whose education, mental, physical, and moral, has been left to the tender mercies of the board of editors of ' 98. And while we fully appreciate the greatness of our debt to the aforementioned predecessors, to whom Jambalaya owes its exist- ence, and, to a great degree, its present character, and while we have profited at every stage of our work by their experience, still we feel that we have not proved altogether unworthy the task entrusted to us, and that we may take a pardonable pride in the result. 11

has iven evidence of the brilliant qualities of his fei ' tile mind. His profound observations and well founded opinions on the needs of Southern Civilization have been noticed and appreciated by the most eminent political economists in this country and abroad. From a practical standpoint also, Colonel Johnston has been an eminently successful man. In 1880, he accepted the presidency of the Louisiana State University at Baton Rou e and, in the four succeedina; years, he thoroughly reorganized that institution and laid the foundation of its present prosperity and usefulness. In 1888 Colonel Johnston married Miss Margaret Avery, a lady of culture and refinement, in all respects a most worthy helpmeet of our respected president. In 1884, he was invited by the administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund to accept the presidency of the Tulane University of Louisiana, which had just come into existence. With what success he has since filled that posi- tion is attested by the rank which Tulane takes as the great University of the Southwest. His administration has been broad and conservative, and under him the University has prospered steadily. His geniality, broad-mindedness, and thorough sympathy with the needs of student and professor have admirably suited him for his position, his wise unbiased judgment has enabled him to guide the university through many a storm, and, in addition to all this, his unfailing courtesy and brilliant qualities of mind enable us to rank him as one of that glorious band, the typical Southern Gentlemen. 10
