D espite financial difficulties in early years, Tufts managed to remain in good academic standing. Traditions grew as alumni became more and more involved, and students developed a sense of cohesion and spirit. We officially became a university, simple , and of high quality in 1955. Today, though we maintain the qual¬ ity, we are no longer simple. Over one hundred and seventy- five student organizations represent the complexity of lifes¬ tyle and thought in the student body; and course offerings from African American Studies to World Literature, Genetics to Soviet Politics, with opportunities for internship and inter¬ disciplinary study, reflect the sophistication of academic op¬ portunity at Tufts.

E xtracurricular activity as well as academic excellence, have become increasingly impor¬ tant as a way for students to express their creative and intellectual capacities outside the class¬ room. Student participation and involvement are im¬ portant parts of Tufts life. Students are enthusiastic about foreign study programs, on campus lectures, intramural, as well as varsity sports, and indeed in the very administration of the University. Our organizations have strong leaders, and these people do shine at Tufts, but our sense of community is an important contributor to our spirit, and involve¬ ment is widespread.
