New Orleans the Unique ' ONE of the world ' s large cities has enjoyed a more picturesque existence than New Orleans. Each of the four flags which has fluttered over it has left an indelible tint, resulting in the vari- colored complexion which New Orleans singularly possesses. The first flag was the Fleur-de-Lis, planted by Bienville in 1718 for France, after which were hoisted the flags of Spain, the Confederacy and the United States. Under such circumstances, it seems unnecessary to classify the bevy of races and classes which have settled here and called themselves New Orleanians — suffice it to say that the conglomeration has always been a happy one, although most unusual, its elite, bon vivants, Creoles, pirates. Spaniards, French, Irish, Italians, mulattoes, and niggers have all been jostled together for some occasion or another — and tolerated it. These occasions were many; a war, a duel, a quadroon ball, Friday at the French Market, services at the St. Louis Cathedral, a night at the Old French Opera House and Mardi Gras. This cosmopolitan conviviality is typical of New Orleans and makes it unusual and interesting. A stroll through the Vieux Carre will convince the most skeptical that the archi- tecture of New Orleans likewise has been diversified by the four flags. Such diversity is singular, hence New Orleans the Unique. Since Tulane University is such an integral part of New Orleans, and both are unique because of a jambalaya of races, countries and habits, the editors thought that this theme would provide excellent decoration for Tulane ' s Jambalaya. We proceed with the Fleur-de-Lis as an emblem. May it meet with your approval.
