Foreword to the Ivory Book

From 1902 to 1974, the Ivy Book was a reliable and comprehensive guide to and for the entire Tufts community. This updated version of the Ivy Book, playfully renamed the Ivory Book to better showcase Tufts pride, contains a description of almost every phase of life at Tufts University, much like the earlier books. In this edition, I have attempted to recreate the quality of the previous Ivy Books while making the changes necessary to adapt it to life as a modern Jumbo. I will gladly accept any suggestions or corrections for it is my hope that the Ivory Book will continue to live on long after I am gone from Tufts and that us students will never forget what it truly means to be a Jumbo.

History and Traditions

5 5

General

With the belief that the Tufts customs and Tufts traditions are worthy of imitation and preservation, the following are beliefs that should be upheld by every Tufts student: 1. That Tufts is a friendly place. While many of your peers may have beliefs different from yours, it is the Tufts way to respect those beliefs and respect your fellow classmates and colleagues. 2. That aside from study, which should be your primary concern, you should involve yourself in some activity which furthers the interests of your school, your community, and your personal development. 3. That loyalty to your school should be uppermost in your mind, and that in your days on the Hill and as alumni you should strive to improve your college.

History

Tufts College was chartered in 1852. It is named for Charles Tufts, who gave much of the land of the present Medford Somerville campus, over 150 acres. The impetus which led to the founding of the College came from the Universalist Church, but from its founding, the College had been non-sectarian. The first class of Tufts students consisted of 7 students and 4 professors. From the small liberal arts college of the pre- Civil War days, Tufts has now grown in resources and in the educational opportunities which it offers to be known as one of the strongest and widely-known universities of the country. The aim of Tufts has been to increase the quality of its educational offering decade by decade while remaining its small student enrollment size. Tufts was officially made a university in 1955. The framework of the University includes two undergraduate colleges and eight graduate 8 universities spanned out over five campuses, four in Massachusetts and one in Talloires, France. While its structure and the extent of its research program place Tufts as one of the top research universities in the nation, the focus of remains on ensuring that the best educators are the ones who come and teach the Tufts students.

Light on the Hill Charles Tufts, when asked by a friend what he would do with the barren, wind-swept hill that he owned in Medford, replied, “I will set a light on it.” What he did do with the hill was to donate it as the land for the college that was later named in his honor. In giving the land for the college, Charles Tufts has set a light on the hill.

Official Colors The traditional colors of Tufts University are brown and blue. In 1960, the Trustees of Tufts College voted on the formal adoption of chocolate brown and sky blue as the official colors. 9

Mascot Jumbo, a large African Bush Elephant likely named through the combination of two Swahili words, jambo, hello, and jumbe, chief, is the official mascot of Tufts University. Jumbo was made famous by giving rides to children at the London Zoo and through his time spent as one of P.T. Barnum‟s circus elephants. Jumbo passed away on September 15, 1885 in St. Thomas, Ontario in Canada. Story holds that as the circus was packing up, a miniature elephant named Tom Thumb got stuck in the railroad tracks. Jumbo saw how Tom Thumb was stuck and also saw the oncoming train and so he went running towards Tom Thumb pushing him out of the way, therefore sacrificing his own life for Tom Thumb‟s. Barnum donated Jumbo‟s skeleton to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and Jumbo‟s stuffed hide to Tufts University. Jumbo stood in Barnum Hall from 1889 to 1975 when a fire ripped through the 10 building destroying everything, including Jumbo, in its path. Before the fire, it was believed that placing coins in Jumbo‟s trunk and pulling Jumbo‟s tail would bring good luck for the following day‟s exams. Because of the wear and tear from years of giving good luck, Jumbo‟s tail was removed and taxidermied to preserve its history. The tail can still be found on campus at the Digital Collections and Archives in Tisch Library. After the fire, Jumbo‟s ashes were scooped up in a Peter Pan Crunchy Peanut Butter jar and are now kept in the Athletic Director‟s office. A statue of an elephant, dubbed Jumbo, now lives outside of Barnum Hall. The elephant is rumored to have come from a closing toy store or an amusement park and thus is why the statue is, unfortunately, inaccurate. The Jumbo outside of Barnum is an Indian elephant, whereas the Jumbo in our hearts is an African one. That being said, he still brings joy to the many visitors and residents that Tufts hosts every year. 11

Painting the Cannon The city of Medford was gifted a replica of one of the cannons on the U.S.S. Constitution after raising money to have it restored. Unsure of what to do with such a gift, the city decided to give it to Tufts, who then put it next to Goddard Chapel where it quietly stood for many years. At some point in the raucous decade of the 1970s, a Tufts student who wanted to have his voice heard decided to paint the cannon. Story has it the next day another student was shocked by the vandalism of such an artifact and painted over the cannon back to its natural black. And so the tradition began. The rules for painting the cannon are that you must guard the cannon from sundown to sunrise. It is against campus tradition to paint the cannon during the day. The cannon is typically painted to an advertise event, to bond with a group, to congratulate for any purpose, to wish a happy birthday, and even to ask for a hand in marriage. 12

Bowen Gate Located across from Fletcher School of International Law and Diplomacy and behind Barnum Hall, Bowen Gate is rumored to possess the ability to guarantee love and marriage for any couple who chooses to kiss under it.

Homecoming The Homecoming football game typically draws the largest turn out of both current students and alumni. Often students who had just graduated the previous year will make an extra effort to come out for this one game a year.

Mischief Night Pumpkining October 30, the night before Halloween, also known as Mischief Night, sees a very different form of mischief on Tufts campus. In the dark of night, the mysterious PumpkinMan goes around campus placing pumpkins all over, from rooftops to trees to the spike on top of Carmichael Hall‟s cupola. Every year, students awake in wonder as 13 to just how any person can manage to climb up to the heights that the PumpkinMan does.

Tuftonia’s Day Tuftsonia‟s Day is observed on the last Friday of classes in the Spring semester. It celebrates a year of hard work and dedication and rewards the Tufts community with a carnival and evening fireworks. The merriment continues to the next day for Spring Fling, a massive concert held on the President‟s Lawn. Although news of who is coming to perform for Spring Fling is not usually released until a few weeks before the day itself, speculations arise months beforehand.

Tufts Night at the Pops The Thursday evening preceding Commencement has annually held the “Tufts night at the Pops” at Boston Symphony Hall with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Since 1902, the concert has officially opened the Commencement season for alumni and undergraduates as well. 14

General

Tufts is part of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) which was established in 1971 between 11 schools for 13 men‟s sports and 13 women‟s sports. These schools were typically small, selective liberal arts colleges in the north east. Tufts is unique in that we are a university and nearly double the size of the next largest school in the conference. Because we have between 500 and 20,000 students and do not offer athletic scholarships, we are also placed nationally in Division III.

The other 10 NESCAC schools are:

Amherst College, Bates College, Bowdoin College, Colby College, Connecticut College, Hamilton College, Middlebury College, Trinity College, Wesleyan University and Williams College

Steady and true, rush along, Brown and Blue. Raise a mighty score today. Fearless tear down the field and never yield! Brown and Blue, Brown and Blue, for aye!

Up on the Hill tonight all will be gay. Victorious in the fight, we‟ll raise the standard of Dear Old Tufts to glory! Pile up the mighty score, it‟s bound to soar – now, one goal more! Nothing can stop us, it‟s Tuftonia‟s Day.

Push it right thro‟, boys, we‟re rooting for you! Now, then, smash their guard once more! See, they are losing fast, their line can‟t last. Brown and Blue, boys, forever more! Right thro‟ the hole, lads. And make it a goal in the good old- fashioned way, and we‟ll all turn out with a lusty shout, to honor Tuftonia‟s Day.
