Fun Fact Friday with Special Collections – Legacy Class Banners

In honor of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s 125th Anniversary, we are sharing some newly found class banners of the years 1923 and 1924!

These banners have been recently discovered in the stacks of the Louisiana Collection and have now been processed. We have four decades of banners starting at 1910 through 1945. We sadly did not have a class banner dating back to the start of the university in 1898 so we are sharing banners from 100 years ago in celebration of the university’s anniversary.
