The Tufts cannon,a canvas for student groups for more than two decades, gets a fresh lookSara Mitchell, or A21,sensed the many-layered meaning of the Tufts cannon even as a prospective student. The iconic landmark doubles as a popular billboard for undergraduates emboldened by spray paint to manufacture a splashy, public shout-outbe it a club announcement or overjoyed birthday to a bestie.
“I remember seeing it even from afar on the campus tour, and ” said Mitchell,“and I could just feel the enthusiasm and passion of students pouring out through the layered paint. To me it was so much more than an object to paint. It was a canvas on which students could create great memories.”
