The rare first issue of the bulletin of Southern University in Baton Rouge. The issue was devoted to the Southern University Rally and printed rules and regulations for the tournaments of the Louisiana Interscholastic Athletic and Literary Association. These events included the state football championship, basketball games, music and literary contests, the state dramatic festival, and the state track meet. The work also includes the "Aims and Purposes of the Association" (which are "adapted from the Texas Interscholastic League for Colored Schools"), a history of interscholastic activities "among Negro Schools in Louisiana," and lists of the officers of the organization. The previous owner of the present copy of the bulletin had a keen interest in the section on the rules for music contests, with numerous light pencil notes written in the outer margins of the first two pages of that section.
