THE EIGHTIETH BIRTHDAY

At six-thirty yesterday evening the Russian carillons atop Lowell House boomed out a message of welcome in the gathering stillness of nightfall. It was the beginning of a celebration honoring President A. Lawrence Lowell in a House of his own conception and hearing his family name.

Lowell House, however, must share the spirit of congratulation with the rest of Harvard. Every Harvard man, in his own way, reflects once again upon an heritage enlarged by a man of great understanding and rare gifts. Each one pays tribute to a long, honorable, and useful life, now rewarded by peace and contemplation, still rich in friendly counsel and unbroken association with Harvard life.
