To the Editors of the 1950 Jumbo Book: just one hundred years ago in 1850 the Senate and the House of Representatives passed and the Governor approved an act to allow the establishment of Tufts College. Two years later our College Charter was granted by the legis¬ lature. The Class of 1950 has real reason to think of itself as a Centennial Class. This fact gives us an especial challenge to look back over the Century that has passed. Tufts began as a small New England College of high standards. It has main¬ tained this tradition. Today Tufts is a small Uni¬ versity-College. Tufts does not wish to be larger, but it hopes each year to become an even finer institution. Tufts does not try to teach every subject, but it has rightly won wide recognition because of the distinction of its professors, libraries, labora¬ tories, and other educational facilities. Institu¬ tions such as Tufts are guardians of the wisdom, culture, and scientific knowledge of society. Much that cannot be predicted will cer¬ tainly take place before the fateful year 2000. At commencement fifty years from novv. Tufts medals will be awarded to members of tnis year s class when they return, laden with honors, for their fiftieth reunion. May all the years of the Century be years of achievement and satisfaction for the members of the class of 1950!
