            TRIBUTE TO TUFTS UNIVERSITY--TUFTONIA'S DAY 1995

                                 ______


                         HON. EDWARD J. MARKEY

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 1995
  Mr. MARKEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Tufts University 
in Medford, MA, and to commemorate the 11th annual observance of 
Tuftonia's Week. This holiday derives its name from the title of the 
venerable Tufts football fight song written by E.W. Hayes, class of 
1916. This is a special time for the 85,000-plus alumni of Tufts 
University to turn their thoughts to Tufts and to reminisce with old 
friends.
  In 1852, Charles Tuft founded this eminent university, and the 
brightest and best students have been graduating ever since. I am 
fortunate and proud to have such an outstanding university in my 
district. I am also proud that two of my esteemed colleagues are 
graduates of Tufts: Congressmen Pete DeFazio of Oregon, class of 1969, 
and Bill Richardson of New Mexico, class of 1970.
  This year's annual celebration, named TuftServe, is especially 
important, for its focus is on community service. This is an important 
time for fellow Tuftonian's to focus on volunteer alumni involvement in 
community activities. Their contributions to the community--locally, 
nationally, and globally--should serve as an inspiration to us all. I 
congratulate the alumni of Tufts University for their hard work, their 
dedication, and their loyalty. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, 
nor unappreciated.
