Flashback Friday: Tufts prepares for Dukakis speech

flashback0001



Massachusetts Governor Michael S. Dukakis visited Tufts campus on Oct. 11, 1988.  Dukakis, the Democratic presidential nominee at the time, was scheduled to speak about advancements in science and technology, according to an Oct. 11 Daily article. Dukakis predicted that the United States would only be great again if it focused heavily on having a "technical edge," according to Press Official Mark Garren.
