<p>Should I fax you my diploma?</p>
<p>That article in the Daily News may not be correct.</p>
<p>I have no idea when Tufts officially got rid of the Jackson name, but they haven’t been issuing Jackson College diplomas in many, many decades.</p>
<p>I remember seeing a similar argument about Radcliffe and Harvard.
Just because the college is using the name of the female college doesn’t mean they issued diplomas in this name.</p>
<p>Most of the female colleges like Jackson, Radcliffe, Pembroke (Brown) etc, started to get phased out in the 70’s. These colleges were female in name only and didn’t mean anything. There weren’t separate dorms, classes or anything else. </p>
<p>I guess the only remnant of Jackson is the Jackson Jills.</p>
<p>My husband also started off in a five year BSEE/BA program until one of his professors told him it made more sense for him to just get his master’s degree.
He is now affiliated with the people who gave Tufts their newest dorm.</p>
