ANGOFF WRITES CRITICAL ARTICLE ON LOWELL'S TERM

An article that proposes to be a critical survey of President Lowell's official and outside activities during his 75 years appears in this month's "American Mercury." The article, written by Charles Angoff '23, attempts to evaluate Lowell's servies as president of Harvard.

In Angoff's opinion President Lowell will be assigned a high place in future academic circles. His mistakes were many, but his contributtions to education more than offset these mistakes. Where the University was concerned President Lowell exercised a wise discretion, but he was not always careful in expressing personal feelings. President Lowell's handling of the Sacco-Vanzetti case is critized, as well as his attitude toward racial differences. Angoff gives President Lowell praise for his defense of academic freedom of thought especially in wartime, and for the incalcation of his own intellectual standards.
