Tufts University
Tufts University is a private research university located in Medford/Somerville, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The university is organized into ten schools,〔(Bylaws of the Trustees of Tufts College, Article VI, sec. 6.1 )〕 including two undergraduate programs and eight graduate divisions, on four campuses in Massachusetts and the French Alps. The university emphasizes active citizenship and public service in all of its disciplines〔Bacow, Lawrence S. ("How Universities Can Teach Public Service." ) ''The Boston Globe.'' October 15, 2005.〕 and is known for its internationalism and study abroad programs.〔Kantrowitz, Barbara. ("America's Hot 25 Schools." ) ''Newsweek Kaplan College Guide.''〕 Among its schools is the United States' oldest graduate school of international relations, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
Tufts College was founded in 1852 by Christian Universalists who worked for years to open a non-sectarian institution of higher learning.〔Concise Encyclopedia of Tufts History ("Tufts University, 1852" )〕 Charles Tufts donated the land for the campus on Walnut Hill, the highest point in Medford, saying that he wanted to set a "light on the hill." The name was changed to Tufts University in 1954, although the corporate name remains "the Trustees of Tufts College." For more than a century, Tufts was a small New England liberal arts college. The French-American nutritionist and former professor at the Harvard School of Public Health Jean Mayer became president of Tufts in the late 1970s and, through a series of rapid acquisitions, transformed the school into an internationally renowned research university.〔Gittleman, Sol. (November 2004) ''An Entrepreneurial University: The Transformation Of Tufts, 1976–2002''. Tufts University, ISBN 1-58465-416-3.〕 It consistently ranks among the nation's top schools.
