How To Assign Name to New Tab?

Why is this not working <a href="http://www.alverno.edu" target="college"> Alverno </a>
For homework this tag is suppose to open the link with a tab called college......but it's not!

what the specification says:
target = browsing-context name or keyword

A name or keyword giving a browsing context for UAs to use when following the hyperlink.

The target attribute on the a element was deprecated in a previous version of HTML, but is no longer deprecated, as it is useful in Web applications, particularly in combination with the iframe element.

Any string that is either of the following:
- a browsing-context name
- any case-insensitive match for one of the following literal strings: "_blank", "_self", "_parent", or "_top".
I can see no indication that the link is supposed to open in a thus named tab.
