Tufts Daily

This collection contains issues of the Tufts Daily, the daily, student-run newspaper of Tufts University. The Tufts Daily covers university news, sports, and events as well as national and international news taken from wire services. It also includes editorials, announcements and calendar items of events (primarily on the Medford campus), and nationally syndicated comics.

Each volume covers one semester, except for volume 7, which includes the entire calendar year 1983. Individual issues are often mis-labeled on the masthead. The mistakes can include incorrect volume, number or date statements. Issues until Spring 1994 are bound. Reference copies are available in the Archives reading room. A headline index is available electronically (from 1985) and in a card file (from 1980) in the archives reading room.

The collection also includes web crawls of the paper's web site.

This finding aid contains language that may be offensive or outdated. Because such language is in titles or direct transcription of published materials, it has not been changed. Keeping this language intact provides the most accurate depiction of the creators’ intent, and can potentially tell us important things about bigotry and bias on the part of the creators, or in a particular historical context. It can also preserve terms formerly applied by a group to self-identify that have since fallen out of common usage. For more information on DCA's content warning policy please visit our website.
