Tufts University remains true to the vision of its founder, Charles Tufts. When asked in 1850 why he had purchased the then-barren hill five miles northwest of Boston, Tufts said, "I will set a light on it"
Today, Tufts' symbolic light emanates around the nation and around the world - a beacon of research and education generated by a community of scholars committed to change.
Founded in 1852, Tufts has grown into an internationally renowned university that leads and creates leaders in the research and policy planning that is improving health care, nutrition, the environment, national and global economies, and the stability of the international community.
