ABSTRACT The study of the life and work of one who contri­ buted significantly to the development of education is basic to finding the means for its further development. Edwin Lewis Stephens had a leading role in the development of education in Louisiana, especially during the years of his presidency of Southwestern"Louisiana Industrial Institute (presently the university of South­ western Louisiana). A wealth of materials has been available to the researcher, included in these were the Archives of Louisiana State University Library, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Archives of the Library of the university of Southwestern Louisiana, Lafayette, Louisiana; Biennial Reports of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana;

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the Him inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin Hlming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.

De vijand kwam niet uit Rusland, Engeland, Frankrijk of Spanje. De opponent voor de Afro-Amerikanen, die na vele eeuwen onderdrukking in 1865 hun vrijheid verworven, kwam van binnenin. De voormalige meesters, waarvoor de ex-slaven generaties lang hadden gewerkt, konden de verworven vrijheid van de Afro-Amerikanen niet verkroppen. Deze plantagehouders hadden in 1861 de Amerikaanse burgeroorlog gestart om zogenaamd op te komen voor hun constitutionele vrijheden. Maar de verworven vrijheden van de Afro-Amerikanen konden zij vier jaar later niet tolereren. Waarom niet? Achter die vraag zit een heel complex antwoord schuil. Als eerste is het belangrijk om de grote verschillen tussen de Verenigde Staten in het midden van de negentiende eeuw en het begin van de eenentwintigste eeuw te begrijpen.

The other bill was introduced on December 14, 1910, by Mr. Estopinal, and fixes the location of the exposition at New Orleans. This meeting has been called for the purpose of giving these gentlemen a hearing on their respective bills, and inasmuch as Mr. Kahn's bill antedates that of Mr. Estopinal, he is entitled to be heard first.
