Tufts University

Tufts University is a private university located in Medford, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. In 1852, Charles Tufts founded Tufts College and donated the land for the campus on Walnut Hill, the highest point in Medford. Tufts said that he wanted to set a "light on the hill." Originally affiliated with the Universalist Church, Tufts is now non-sectarian. The name changed to "Tufts University" in 1954, although the corporate name remains "the Trustees of Tufts College."

Campus media

For at least the last decade, the most prominent source of news and information at Tufts has been The Tufts Daily. Also influential are the campus' journal of conservative thought, The Primary Source, The Tufts Observer (the oldest collegiate newspaper), a general newsmagazine and The Zamboni a humor magazine.
