Welcome from the President

This year marks the 159th Commencement exercises held at Tufts University. This is always the high point of the academic year, and we welcome all of you from around the world who are here for this joyous occasion—the culmination of our students’ intellectual and personal journeys.

Today’s more than 2,500 graduates arrived at Tufts with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. They have followed rigorous courses of study on our three Massachusetts campuses while enriching the life of our academic community. As Tufts students, many of them have studied or conducted research across this country and internationally. Many have also provided expert clinical care as part of their education. And they have put our commitment to active citizenship into action through generous service to community, neighborhood, and governmental organizations. As graduates, they will help to represent the university around the world as members of a global alumni community that now numbers more than 100,000. We hope they will stay connected with Tufts and know that their careers and accomplishments will give us cause for pride.

The 2015 Commencement address will be delivered by Madeleine Albright. One of the most respected figures on the world stage, she reinforced America’s alliances, advocated for democracy and human rights, and promoted American trade as well as its business, labor, and environmental standards abroad while serving as the United States’ first woman secretary of state. I am sure her address will inspire our graduates and give all of us opportunity to reflect on how we can use our talents for the common good.

The Board of Trustees has voted to award honorary doctorates to Dr. Albright and six other distinguished honorees in recognition of their achievements in their chosen fields. All of them offer our graduates examples of accomplishment and service. A total of 20 members of the faculty and administration have been named to emeritus status, and we will recognize their contributions to the life of the university over a truly remarkable total of more than 600 years of service to Tufts.

At Tufts’ first Commencement—on July 8, 1857—three students received their degrees at a ceremony featuring addresses in Latin. While much has changed since then, Tufts remains committed to education and opportunity. Faculty, staff, families, and friends have all played a central role in our students’ education. Thank you for joining us in congratulating our graduates and wishing them all the best for the future.

Sincerely,

Anthony P. Monaco

President

But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. covenant: I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, or a cancerous I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility with those who are to follow. includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick. I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures, which are required, avoiding those twin traps of over-treatment and I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is therapeutic nihilism. preferable to cure.

I will not be ashamed to say, “I know not,” nor will I fail to call in If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. recovery. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I seek my help. tread with care in matters of life and death.
