We are now almost halfway through the college basketball season and there has been no shortage of storylines up to this point. With every team well into conference play, the top contenders are becoming clearer, while bubble teams are striving to build their resumes before Selection Sunday. So far, these are the most important questions regarding the state of college basketball as I see it.
Between Goddard Chapel and Ballou Hall, overlooking President’s Lawn, stands the Tufts cannon. This piece of history is constantly adorned with political, cultural and prideful messaging painted by student groups, making it a centerpiece of free speech on campus. Yet, at the start of the 2025–26 academic year, the decades-old tradition of ‘painting the cannon’ embraced a new policy. In a September email, Camille Lizarríbar, dean of students for the School of Arts and Sciences, announced that free speech and expression through the cannon would take on a new form: The cannon would be subject to “periodic cleanings.” In practice, this meant repainting the cannon light blue every Thursday as a weekly ‘reset.’
In 1876, Eugene Bowen graduated from Tufts College known by peers and faculty as the most prominent bell ringer of his class. Goddard Chapel had not yet been built, and a single bell rang atop Ballou Hall. This bell’s historical record is wide-ranging, even including a memorable prank from the 1880s in which Tufts students tied a calf to the bell rope so the bell would ring for hours.

Private music lessons will resume this spring after a semester-long hiatus due to a staffing vacancy in the director of applied music position. Mawunyo Kobla Titiati is taking over as program administrator of applied music.
Tuberculosis is a disease that kills over 1 million people every year, so why is it that much of the Global North thinks of it as a disease of the past? Why is a curable disease still killing so many people? In his new book, “Everything is Tuberculosis,” John Green tackles the history and current reality of a disease that has, in many ways, shaped our world. “Everything is Tuberculosis” centers on answering the question of why access to the TB cure is limited in regions where the disease is most prevalent, challenging the plethora of assumptions that have been made about the disease throughout history.
LABLINES: “Linking Arts and Biology through Lines & Narrative for Engaging Science,“ is set to launch at Tufts this semester.

At this point, Chinese filmmaker Bi Gan’s career can largely be described as an anomaly. He’s 36, yet his films display a maturity that most fail to reach even in their later years. He comes from mainland China, infamous for its artistic censorship, but his work is some of the most innovative and expressive in world cinema today. His first two feature films, “Kaili Blues” (2015) and “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” (2018), were hypnotic in style and personal in philosophy, following protagonists as they ventured through Gan’s native Guizhou province in southwest China.
The Office of Public Safety announced temporary “security enhancements” for buildings on the Medford/Somerville and Grafton campuses in an email to the Tufts community Monday afternoon.

Dear Jumbos,

Dove Ellis is a young Irish singer-songwriter who just released his debut album, “Blizzard.” Although he is just at the beginning of a remarkable career, he must already be sufficiently tired of comparisons to Jeff Buckley.
Six courses at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University were canceled this fall after failing to meet the required minimum enrollment of eight students. This fall semester saw an unusually high number of cancelled classes that left some professors of the practice without opportunities to teach as many courses and some students facing last-minute schedule changes.
Well, we are here: dreaded finals. It feels like yesterday we were in the midst of midterm season!
As my mom and I left Arkansas, we traveled north through Missouri and Illinois to Chicago, then east to Detroit and up through Canada to Niagara Falls. At all of these stops, we never really ran into anything that had obvious Indigenous ties. Once we crossed back into the United States, we still didn’t run into anything explicitly Indigenous. While this may be surprising to you, it was anything but surprising to me.
