A judicial determination must be made relative to the provisions of
grants made to the university by Paul Tulane. The original and
additional grants from Mr. Tulane were to promote and encourage
"intellectual, moral, and industrial education among young white
persons in New Orleans." Subsequently, Mrs. Josephine L. Newcomb
established the Sophie Newcomb College, now attached to
Tulane, and provided grants "for the higher education of white
girls and women." Ibid.
