Imagine this scene: You're walking across the Academic Quad on a brisk autumn day in October 1954. You hold a copy of the Tufts Weekly in your hands, eagerly scanning an article that has made big news on campus. In fact, this news is so big the Weekly was moved to declare this "the first time that such liberal rules have been put into effect in any men's college in the East. We have set a precedent." What headline, you may ask, transformed Tufts into such a radical institution?

Winning the future': What, if anything, do political slogans actually mean?

February 22

Anyone who watched, read or heard about last month's State of the Union Address came away with a knowledge of at least one new goal on America's political to−do list: Win the future.

February 17

    Papers, internships, reading, clubs, studying — the list of common sources of stress for college students is all too familiar. According to a recent University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) survey, however, first-year college students now report poorer emotional health than ever before.

Street Smarts: Tufts' sartorial scene

February 16

Ever notice the Jumbos on campus who put more into their wardrobes than a momentary thought about which pair of sneakers doesn't clash with their sweatpants? We have, and some of their sartorial styles caught our eye in particular.

Secular Europe and religious America?

February 15

Religion has long been a central aspect of societies worldwide, but its role and importance varies throughout the globe. As industrialization and globalization continue to impact every aspect of life, many wonder about the changing role of religion in a modern world and if the popular claim that Americans are more religious than Europeans is actually valid.
