Scope and Contents note

T-shirts, once worn underneath clothes, have become outer garments for everyone to see. This archival collection of T-shirts dates back to the mid-1980s and plays an important part in recording Newcomb history. T-shirts often documented an important Newcomb event, like the "Newcomb College Leadership Conference for Girls" T-shirt. The shirts could also serve to unite its members, like the Newcomb Dance Club T-shirts. Every year the incoming freshmen received a Newcomb T-shirt during their first weekend. Not simply a fashion statement, the shirts have become a form of expressing ideas as well as showing membership and uniting Newcomb College. As said on the 1987 T-shirt in strong brown print, "Newcomb is not negotiable.”
