H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, or Newcomb College, was the coordinate women's college of Tulane University located in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was founded by Josephine Louise Newcomb in 1886 in memory of her daughter. Newcomb was the first women's coordinate college in the nation, and the first degree-granting college for women established within a United States university. This model was later used in partnerships such as Pembroke College at Brown University and Barnard College at Columbia University. Tulane University dissolved Newcomb College in 2006, as part of its Renewal Plan following the major losses and damage of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Heirs of Mrs. Newcomb sued in Howard v. Tulane, challenging Tulane on the issue of donor intent and seeking to preserve Newcomb as a degree-granting coordinate college within the university.
