Why They Give
Dr Bixon says: "A patient whose child I delivered gave us a gift, a blue delft tile from Holland that reads, 'To live is to learn, to learn is to know, to know is to grow, to grow is to give, to give is to live.' Tufts opened up a new world of understanding for me. We wanted to give back to Tufts some of what it has given to us."
