Installation of Sunil Kumar, 14th President of Tufts

On Friday, October 6, Sunil Kumar will continue the legacy of the Rev. Hosea Ballou II, D.D., first president of Tufts College.

In 1853, beneath a tent on Walnut Hill, on the outskirts of the town of Medford, Massachusetts, Ballou celebrated the laying of the cornerstone of the main building for "a literary institution devoted to the higher cultivation of the mind." In attendance was Charles Tufts, who donated the land on which the building, named after Ballou 50 years later, was built.

In 2023, we celebrate Kumar's installation as the 14th president of Tufts University and invite our community of faculty, staff, students, alumni, neighbors, and academic leaders to attend.

The Installation Ceremony

On Friday, October 6, 2023, Sunil Kumar was installed as the 14th President of Tufts University in a ceremony on the Medford/Somerville campus.

If Tufts College is to be a source of illumination, as a beacon standing on a hill, where its light cannot be hidden, its influence will naturally work like all light; it will be diffusive.

The Rev. Hosea Ballou II, 1853 first president of Tufts College

A law and economics scholar, he is the co-author of eight books and dozens of scholarly articles on the intersections of law, economics, development, and public policy. His most recent book, What Universities Owe Democracy, takes up the challenges facing democracy and argues for the indispensable role that universities play in sustaining democratic societies at this critical moment in history. He previously served as provost at the University of Pennsylvania and dean and James M. Tory Professor of Law at the University of Toronto.

Music and Lyrics

The carillon, a set of tuned bells installed on Goddard Chapel, will ring to welcome participants and special guests at the beginning and close of the installation ceremony.

The 25 carillon bells were donated at three different times. The first bell was given by the Class of 1898 on their 10th reunion in 1908. In 1926, Eugene Bowen donated nine bells. In 1966, a further fifteen bells and the first carillon mechanism were donated in honor of the first provost of Tufts University, John Tilton. Today, the 25 bells (F, G, then A to g’ chromatically) are playable from an electronic keyboard console made by the Verdin company of Cincinnati, Ohio, which also enables the recording of anything from a sequence of chimes to an elaborate tune. Usually the carillon plays a hymn tune at 5:00pm daily, which is chosen and recorded monthly by the music director of the chapel. You can find the list of carillon tune archives here.

Dear Alma Mater

We con, beside thy knee,
Dear Alma Mater,
Earth’s book of mystery,
Dear Alma Mater,
We track the storied past,
Dear Alma Mater,
Over plains of learning vast,
Dear Alma Mater, With thee.
Speed on thy sunlit way,
Dear Alma Mater,
We vow new faith today,
Dear Alma Mater!
May glory light thy name,
Dear Alma Mater,
All thy children sing thy fame,

Dear Alma Mater, For aye

Leo R. Lewis, A1887

Tuftonia’s Day

Steady and true, rush along, Brown and Blue.
Raise a mighty score today.
Fearless tear down the field and never yield!
Brown and Blue, Brown and Blue for aye!
Hammer them hard, boys, and break through their guard. That is old Tuftonia’s way.

And our glorious banner once again will wave o’er Tuftonia’s Day.
T-u-f-t-s, T-u-f-t-s, Hurrah! Hurrah! for dear old Brown and Blue!

Refrain:
Up on the Hill tonight all will be gay.
Victorious in the fight, we’ll raise the standard of dear old Tufts to glory!
Pile up a mighty score.
It’s bound to soar.
Now one goal more!
Nothing can stop us; it’s Tuftonia’s Day.
