It's on side 2 around 23 minutes in. He definitely says that you're not going to remember your major in 20 years, you're just going to remember you went to Tulane. The exact wording is a little unclear, because the tape is unclear, but we have him on tape saying that.

The tape doesn't include the last few questions and comments. Some of them were pretty powerful.

Interesting. 16 years out and I still manage to remember my major, the department, teachers, the smell of Bruff Commons, and the fact that I went to Tulane.

Reinforces my view of Cowen and his practiced condescension to the students and alumni and any who do not share his distorted view of reality.

"Question: 20 years from now, 30 years from now you will remember you came to Tulane. You're not going to remember what you major was or ... <INAUDIBLE> ... but you will remember Tulane University."

Meeting with engineering students

23 minutes in on Side 2:

I can't quite make out part of the quote. Someone slammed a door right around then. That's the best transcript I can come up with.
