Professor Percival Lowell '76, of Boston, brother of President Lowell, and one of the world's most distinguished astronomers, died at his observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., yesterday of apoplexy. He was 62 years of age.
In addition to his degree of B.A. from the University, Mr. Lowell received an honorary degree of LL.D. from Amherst in 1907, and the same from Clark University in 1909. In 1883, Mr. Lowell went to Japan where he lived for ten years. He served as counsellor and foreign secretary to the Korean special mission to the United States, and on his return to this country he established the Lowell Observatory in 1894, and from that time has devoted his time and interests to astronomy.
