Lunch with dean rosenblatt
By Marie Condon M'06I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, having lunch with the dean. When I arrived at his 8th floor office, the receptionist kindly asked me to have a seat with the other two students, both second years. Decorated with books and scientific journals, his office was organized, orderly, and exquisitely neat. Although we waited only a few minutes, I developed a feeling of intimidation – much like a grammar school kid being sent to the principal’s office.

Unfortunately, the only secrets I learned are the bad ones. That is to say, in seven months I already discovered all the pet peeves (all five) this school has to offer.
Books AND BAGELS: REVIEW
By Bobby Osterhoff M'07The long awaited library renovations have ushered in a welcome change on the fourth floor of the Sackler Building. The grand opening of the Books and Bagels Café in late February marked the beginning of a new era of restful procrastination and study inefficiency at Tufts. I have had numerous chances to visit the café over the last few weeks. I have sampled its fare, poured its coffee, and chatted with fellow classmates about their impressions of the new addition.
