LOWELL CALLED ROOSEVELT STATESMAN WITHOUT GUILE

"A statesman in whom is no guile," is the manner in which President Lowell described Franklin D. Roosevelt '04 when Harvard awarded him an honorary degree in 1929. Besides being awarded an honorary L.L.D., Governor Roosevelt was appointed marshal of his class, which was celebrating its 25th anniversary, and delivered the Phi Beta Kappa oration also.

When asked what his political views were this year, and whether he still held this opinion of Roosevelt, President Lowell replied yesterday that he did not care to make any public statement about the political campaign at present.
