Momentum is building for the hearing in the Newcomb College case, Montgomery v. Tulane, on March 4th at 10:00 a.m. at the Louisiana Court of Appeal in New Orleans. Now is the time to:

BE INVOLVED – On February 23, March 2, or March 9, call in at 9:00 p.m. EST to ask questions, learn more from the TFoNC Board about the case, and share news and ideas with other supporters on the call. Raise your voices. We can hear you!

Call-in number: 1-218-936-4700; Access code: 8747287#

BE IN COURT – On Thursday, March 4th at the Court of Appeal, 410 Royal Street, New Orleans. Arrive by 9:30 a.m. to go through security and take a seat.

You will hear plaintiff’s lawyer argue that the trial court erred in deciding that Mrs. Newcomb’s will did not contain an enforceable obligation for Tulane to use Mrs. Newcomb’s money only for Newcomb College. Tulane has repeatedly argued that it could have used the money for whatever it chose – even to build a football stadium.
