At this time 75 years ago, Calcasieu Parish voters were going to the polls to vote on a bond issue to make a junior college possible for Southwest Louisiana. This vote was part of the beginning of what would become McNeese State University. A major part of the motivation for the parents of our area in approving this bond issue, was to make a college education more accessible for their children. Today, in the early 21st century, a college education is being made even more accessible through the wonder of the Internet.
