Going
Abroad
Reading about Tufts being in “the race for globally
minded students” and so attractive to those studying
abroad always makes me think of the efforts made to prevent
my taking a semester abroad in my junior year at Jackson
in 1962. The dean called me to warn that if I were to
study abroad, it would probably prevent my making Phi
Beta Kappa. I chose to go, spending six months in Israel
through the Hiatt Program from Brandeis. It was a good
decision and rather brave—and when I returned to
Tufts, I still made Phi Beta Kappa in the fall of my
senior year. I’m glad things have changed.

IQ Points
In reference to the letter regarding the summer 2004
cover, someone should tell your reader that it’s
a scientifically proven fact that wearing your baseball
cap backward reduces your IQ by only ten points. Perhaps
young Blickstein was simply trying to give members
of the Tufts Republican Club a fair handicap.
