                            TUFTS IS FOREVER

                                 ______


                          HON. BILL RICHARDSON

                             of new mexico

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 21, 1994

  Mr. RICHARDSON. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
make our colleagues aware of an important even that will be taking 
place the week of April 21.
  The year 1994 signifies the 10th annual celebration of Turftonia's 
Week. This is a special time for the over 75,000 Tufts alumni who 
gather in groups throughout the world to take part in Tuftonia's week 
festivities. From Somerville to Saigon, Wyckoff to Warsaw, and 
Albuquerque to Ankara, thousands of graduates come together to pay 
tribute to their alma mater and to remember the good times that they 
shared as fellow Tuftonians.
  Tuftonia's Week is named after the venerable Tufts football fight 
song written by E.W. Hayes, class of 1916. Through the continual and 
widespread involvement of the Tufts community, this celebration 
captures the same sense of spirit and vitality for which this song was 
written. In honor of this special 10th anniversary commemoration, our 
male a capella singing group, the Beelzebubs, will join in the 
festivities as they entertain alumni on an Amtrak railroad trip which 
begins in Boston and travels down the Northeast corridor until reaching 
its final destination in our Nation's Capital.
  Tufts University was founded in 1852 and enrolls approximately 7,900 
students from all 50 States and 109 countries. As a Tufts alum, I am 
deeply honored to congratulate this outstanding institution and its 
loyal alumni for their continued achievements in public and community 
service. I ask my colleagues to join me in urging their Tufts alumni 
constituents to participate in this year's Tuftonia's Week 
celebrations.
