But for Nicole Morgan, a Tufts graduate student in the Department of Music, geekiness is in the eye of the beholder.

Tufts finds the right formula for math students

If you randomly choose a student from the Tufts undergraduate population, what is the probability that he or she will be a math major? If this type of question baffles you, it might be because the answer is smaller than you'd think: only 67 students - about 1.3 percent of Tufts undergraduate students - are math majors.

Dreams' blurs line between real, absurd

"Republic of Dreams" is a dreamlike play. Joseph (played by Matthew Glassman), a painter, drapes a mannequin in a blue shroud. An old man eats soup and stares at the audience.

The candle casts shadows that illuminate portions of the audience, placing the members within the play, as if they too are part of the dream.

Coming home

Tufts students and alumni rallied behind Jumbo teams on Saturday. They got mixed results from the four Tufts-Bowdoin Homecoming matchups. Next to a packed Tailgaters' Village, the football team won 21-13 behind two rushing touchdowns and a dramatic interception return for a score. Women's soccer cruised to its seventh straight win on the legs of a senior leader and a sophomore phenom. Men's soccer and field hockey both tried to mount second-half comebacks and both came up short. The men fell to 2-5-1 on with a 2-1 loss to the Polar Bears, and the field hockey team missed against the top-ranked team in the nation, although it became the first squad this season to score on the Polar Bears.

Spreading awareness, or attacking a religion?

It is a calculated effort to vilify Islam in general, place Muslim Student Associations on the defensive, and generate support for further U.S. military action in the Islamic world.
