 THE 10TH ANNUAL TUFTONIA WEEK CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF TUFTS UNIVERSITY

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, it is a privilege to take this occasion 
to commend Tufts University, in Massachusetts, which is celebrating its 
10th annual Tuftonia's Day holiday today. It is a time when the 75,000 
Tufts alumni join together to remember and celebrate their 
distinguished university. My daughter is a graduate of Tufts, and I am 
proud to count myself as part of the Tufts family.
  Founded in 1852, Tufts now has over 8,000 students from 49 States and 
95 foreign countries. The main campus in Medford/Somerville houses the 
College of Liberal Arts, the Graduate School, the College of 
Engineering, Jackson College, the Boston School of Occupational 
Therapy, the College of Special Studies, the School of Nutrition, and 
the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. The Boston campus is home to 
the School of Medicine and Dentistry. Grafton, MA, is the site of the 
only School of Veterinary Medicine in New England.
  Earlier this month, as part of the Tuftonia's Week celebration, a 
men's singing group from Tufts, the Beelzebubs, traveled from Boston to 
Washington on Amtrak, entertaining crowds at trackside performances in 
nine different cities. They sang here at Union Station on April 10, and 
their trip was a sign of the loyalty and creativity of the people of 
Tufts.
  Tufts University is renowned for excellence in many fields, and I 
welcome this opportunity to commend its president, Dr. John DiBiaggio, 
and all the others in the Tufts family, who have done so much to gain 
this well-deserved reputation.
