Pierce Buti.er, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Dean Newcomb College was founded by Mrs. Josephine Louise Newcomb, in October, 1886, as a memorial to her daughter, Harriot Sophie Newcomb. In her will, which is dated Maj ' 12, 1898, she left vo the admin- istrators of the Tulane Educational Fund, for the benefit of Newcomb College, the residue of her estate after the payment of certain specified legacies. Mrs. Newcomb ' s feeling for the people of New Orleans and her desire to advance the cause of education of young women in Louisiana were the reasons that moved her to make this foundation. It was her expressed wish that there should be maintained a simple form of daily religious exercises in a chapel or assembly room, but she specifically provided, I desire that worship and instruction shall not be of a sectarian or denominational character. There are at present eight buildings of fine con- struction upon the campus and several smaller build- ings. We have recently completed and occupied a new dormitory, the Warren Newcomb House, fronting upon Newcomb Campus. This will probably form one unit in a plan of dormitories to be built. During the year 1928-29 we completed Dixon Hall, on the quadrangle fronting the Art Building, named in honor of President Emeritus Brandt V. B. Dixon. Dixon Hall, which was first used for the Commencement Exercises in 1929, provides an Auditorium seating about one thousand, with a fine and well equipped stage ; studio and practice rooms for the School of Music ; and an entire wing for the Library. The stack rooms here will provide for about f ixty thousand volumes and may be expanded. The purpose of the college is to foster the intellectual life in any way that may seem most helpful and promising for the maintenance of a high standard of culture and it endeavors to equip young women for effective and intelligent service to society. The regular courses offered lead to the degree of B.A. or B.S., or for students in Art and Music, B. Design and B. Music.
