Tulane University
buildingReal-world: Tulane University
The university whose authorities, consulted by Inspector Legrasse, could shed no light upon either the cult or the image.
The authorities at Tulane University could shed no light upon either the cult or the image when Legrasse sought answers about his swamp-caught statuette.
The fruitless consultation belongs to the inspector's hunt for the idol's meaning, recounted in the Tale of Inspector Legrasse — the failure that eventually carried him to the archaeologists.
