That's quite an interesting story, Larry.
I don't guess she'll get a chance to do anything "Newcomb" since the "women's college" was dissolved in 2006.
Newcomb as a degree-granting entity while being a part of Tulane was emulated by other partnerships with "women's colleges" like Harvard and Radcliffe.
Sophie Newcomb's heirs have gone to court in an attempt to prevent Newcomb College from being dissolved.
Be interesting to see how it plays out.
She wants to major in business though I'd rather see her in Pre-law or Pre-med. Tulane's Freeman School of Business is rated one of the ten best business schools in the world so she'll get a good education.
