Tufts University, a premier university in the nation, is located in Medford, Massachusetts. This private university is recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as a "Doctoral/Research Extensive" institution. The university was originally founded in 1852, as a small liberal arts college, Tufts College, by the members of Universalist Church and was named for Charles Tufts, an American businessman who donated 20 acres for the campus.
