Jacob Passy | A Bit Off

It's undeniably that time of year, folks. The time when all you want to do is shop. Thanksgiving has come and gone, and everywhere you go there are ads touting the latest deals for holiday shopping.

Contrary to my own belief, the current site of our shiny new gym did not always house Tufts' athletic facilities. In fact, Cousens Gymnasium, the Gantcher Family Sports and Convocation Center and the Steve Tisch Sports and Fitness Center all sit on what used to be the George Luther Stearns Estate. Stearns earned a living as a prominent merchant during the mid?19th century and helped to organize the Medford portion of the Underground Railroad before and during the Civil War.
