Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists of records of the College of Louisiana (Jackson, Louisiana). It includes an act of incorporation (1825), property records (1816-1826), board of trustees minutes (1825-1851), faculty minutes (1828-1844), and a letter about student disciplinary problems (circa 1835).

The board of trustees minutes of meetings (1825-1845) are recorded in a manuscript volume; the archives book collection contains a typescript of these minutes. The manuscript volume also includes records of the college’s successor institution: Centenary College of Louisiana trustee minutes (1846 April 24; 1846 September 17; 1849 October 16; 1851 August 5) and Centenary College of Louisiana student grades (1852-1890).

The faculty minutes of meetings are recorded in two manuscript volumes (1828-1838 and 1840-1844); the archives book collection contains a typescript of these minutes. The minutes primarily document student course enrollment, grades, and discipline. Also included are a college library resolution (1831 September 27) and college rules and regulations (1832 July 12; 1833 January 11; 1843 July 20).
