Pilfi u NEW ORLEANS was a provincial French-and-Spanish town for nearly a century before it became a part of the United States. When the Americans came in 1803 they found a civilized Latin city with its theatres and circuses, its masquerade balls and duels, Its opera and bullfights; and the first Americans found New Orleans as different from the cities of the Atlantic seaboard as though Louisiana had been another continent. Men of many nations added to the cosmopolitan life: from the West Indian Islands had come refugees and emigres bringing with them their culture and sophistication, their gaiety and vices; and always, like a black thread in the tapestry ' s pattern, the Negro slaves inter- mingled, giving vividness to the city ' s color and design. From its earliest days there was a strange combination of wealth and poverty, elegance and brutality. Nearby, in the sea-marsh of Barataria, smugglers and pirates held pos- session, and the overland trails leading north and east were infested by bandits and hostile Indians; and a trip by sailing ship from New Orleans to Philadelphia, New York or Baltimore was a dangerous adventure. So the old walled city of Nouvelle Orleans was as alone in the lush wilderness of Louisiana as though it stood on a tropical Island. Within its irregular walls grew up men and women unlike any other group in the United States. Then in 1803 the Americans came and a new era began. And yet, more than a century later. It is Impossible to think of New Orleans without thinking of Its gaudy past. Even the street names are full of romance, each one telling Its story to those who are willing to listen. And so it seems fitting that this issue of the Jambalaya , the official yearbook of historic Tulane University, should remind us of the fabulous but true stories of old New Orleans. J 0 Cn —
