The scenes of Tufts at the beginning of the second hundred years reveal three new buildings in one year and an enrollment of over four thousand. Out of it grew an amazing picture of campus views and faces that truly represents the Tufts story. Some of us were only the third brush stroke from the lef t in the sixth row, hut every one was proud to he part of it. That constant parade of self-ad¬ mirers, who came almost daily to see if they had been painted cross-eyed or bow-legged, must have surely disturbed the art¬ ists, who worked day and night to complete the Cohen murals.

1852 — The campus and scenes, symbols and faces that ivould have been typi¬ cal when the university was in its infancy. Then Ballou was the only building and the enrollment totaled thirty. While the motion picture industry struggled with their new projecting techniques, the Alumnae Lounge fast became the home of another hig screen picture. As we watched, the history of Tufts gradually grew before us, and many of our faces were included in the vast sweep. Thousands of photographs, draw¬ ings, and other collected material were pieced together in the project.

Press release in the Topeka, Kansas Bugle: Jonathan Lumpkoff, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. V. Lumpkoff, 183 Sliades-of-Hades Rd., is home for Christmas. Jon is a freshman at Tufts Uni¬ versity up north in Massachusetts. He reports that the cold, winter weather has been very hard on him and he just can’t understand how the native New Englanders stand it. He says they wear sweaters and such things under their coats. “Boy, is that ice and snow and stuff deep on the Hill. It’s over the soles of my shoes.” We ran into Jon in Mr. Sweethall’s store where he was buying hip hoots and water wings to combat the rough weather up north. On winter days, the policeman who diligent- ly guards the main gate is usually found sit¬ ting in his warm squad car. The gateway to a snowy, white fantasy land; except during Winter Carnival when wading boots and pith helmets are more in order. 20
