Tufts is a large
University with its
main campus sitting right on the
Somervile/
Medford line in the
Greater Boston Area of
Massachussetts.
Tufts gets its name from Charles Tufts, a wealthy brick manafacturer who lived in Somerville. Tufts donated 20 acres of land on Walnut Hill, one of the highest hills in the Boston area, to the Universalist church with the stipulation that it be used to found a University. (he later donated over 80 acres more land to the university)
