Question: Is Tufts University or University of California, Berkeley older?

Robert Kayen was born in New York, NY, United States in 1959.  He earned his B.S. in civil engineering and geology in 1981 from Tufts University, M.S. degree in geology in 1988, and Ph.D. in engineering under the supervision of James K. Mitchell at the University of California, Berkeley in California in 1993.  Since 1991, he has worked as a research scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California.  Professor Kayen joined the faculty of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California Los Angeles in 2007.  He has also served on the faculties of Kobe University, Japan and University of California, Berkeley as a visiting professor.  Kayen has authored several hundred journal articles and published studies in the fields of earthquake engineering, LIDAR Geomatics, engineering geophysics, methane hydrate disassociation, and marine-engineering geology and marine-geotechnics. <SEP>  Tufts College was founded in 1852 by Christian Universalists who worked for years to open a nonsectarian institution of higher learning.  Charles Tufts donated the land for the campus on Walnut Hill, the highest point in Medford, saying that he wanted to set a "light on the hill". Tufts University is a private research university incorporated in the municipality of Medford, Massachusetts, United States.  The name was changed to Tufts University in 1954, although the corporate name remains "the Trustees of Tufts College".  For more than a century, Tufts was a small New England liberal arts college until its transformation into a larger research university in the 1970s.  Tufts is a charter member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC).  In 2017, the university accepted 14.8% of undergraduate applicants from a pool of 21,101.  In 2016, it was ranked 27th nationally and 156th internationally by "U.S. News & World Report". <SEP>  Founded in 1868, Berkeley is the oldest of the ten research universities affiliated with the University of California system (although UCSF was founded in 1864 and predates the establishment of the UC system) and is ranked as one of the world's leading research universities and the top public university in the United States. The University of California, Berkeley (also referred to as UC Berkeley, Berkeley, and Cal ) is a public research university located in Berkeley, California. <SEP> The Tufts OpenCourseWare (OCW) project, is a web-based publication of educational material from a number of Tufts University courses, providing open sharing of free, searchable, high-quality course content to educators, students, and self-learners throughout the global community.  The Tufts OCW initiative encourages the publication and free exchange of course materials on the World Wide Web.  First launched in June 2005, Tufts OCW provides materials with strong representation from Tufts’ health sciences schools, some of which are equivalent to textbooks in depth.  All materials on the Tufts OCW site are accessible at any time, free of charge.  As Tufts OCW is not a distance learning program, no registration, applications, prerequisites, or fees are required and no credit is granted.
