COPY OF A RESOLUTION Adopted
by the Board of Trustees of the
Southwestern Louisiana Indus
trial Institute at their Annual
Meeting held July 30, 1906.
Whereas it has been brought to the
attention of this Board that a number
of houses of ill fame within the corpo-
rate limits of the town of Lafayette
are located within q distance less than
one quarter of a mile from the grounds
of the Industrial Institute, and many
others within less than One-half mile
from the same; and
Whereas it is our belief and cOnvic-
ton that the existence of such disOr-
derby houses in this proximity is a re-
prOach to the good name of this insti-
tuition and a menace to the moral and
