In honor of vets

Tufts Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) yesterday held a Veterans Day ceremony on the Memorial Steps. The short commemoration included a flag passing ceremony, followed by an invocation by University Chaplain David O'Leary and an introduction by Dean of Undergraduate Education James Glaser. Linda Dixon (J '63, F '99), who currently serves as secretary of the corporation at Tufts, delivered the keynote speech. Dixon is a retired Massachusetts Army National Guard officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Veterans Day was a university holiday; classes were held, but staff had the day off.
