Membership requires a sucessful <strong>Credit Rating</strong> skill roll and proof that the applicant resides permanently in Rhode Island. <br/><br/><strong>Biltmore Hotel:</strong> This modern hotel has all the luxuries any investigator could ask for, including private bathrooms. Established in 1922, the hotel is comfortable but fails to command the class and style of the Narragansett Hotel. Rates range from $5 a night for the smallest rooms up to $35 a night for a spacious room. <br/><br/><strong>Brown University:</strong> Founded in 1770, it is the third-oldest college in New England and the seventh-oldest in the United States. Brown was the first college in the nation to welcome students of all religious affiliations. In 1891 the school founded a Women's College. It presently boasts the only Egyptology Department in the United States. Brown's motto is <em>deo speramus</em> (In God we hope). <br/><br/><strong>City Hall:</strong> The current mayor is Democrat James E. Dunne (1882-1942), well liked by the townsfolk. <br/><br/><strong>Dexter Asylum:</strong> Founded in 1822, this institution was established to care for the poor, aged, and mentally ill, and it currently holds some hundered patients. The staff are well meaning, but cure rates are low. <br/><br/><strong>Narragansett Hotel:</strong> This old and pretigious Providence hotel was founded in 1828. It requires a <strong>Credit Rating</strong> skill roll to gain a room for the night. Rates range from $10 per night for the smallest room up to $75 a night for a top floor suite. Regardless, the service is impeccable and investigators who stay here will gain some clout about town. <br/><br/><strong>North Burial Grounds:</strong> One of Providence's oldest graveyards. <br/><br/><strong>Opera House:</strong> Built in 1871 this was the original City Hall and the site of a funeral oration for President Abraham Lincoln. <br/><br/><strong>Public Library:</strong> Established in 1900, this sizable collection is open to the public and acessible to investigators. <br/><br/><strong>Providence Historical Society:</strong> Founded in 1822, this organization is dedicated to collecting and preserving Rhode Island's history. The society maintains a library and a museum including numerous seventeenth-century manuscripts documenting the beginning of European settlement in the state. This is the ideal collection for researching Providence and it's history. <br/><br/><strong>Roger Williams Park:</strong> A spacious park with lakes, woods, lawns, a boathouse, and a greenhouse. <br/><br/><strong>State Capitol:</strong> Modeled in part on St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. <br/></div></div><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>APRIL 30, 1927</strong></span>
