Peabody Prize Goes To Lowell Institute
The Lowell Institute Cooperative Broadcasting Council yesterday received a special George Foster Peabody Award for its work in adult education through broadcasting. Edward A. Weeks, Jr. '22, editor of the Atlantic Monthly, made the presentation.
The institute was organized in the spring of 1946, when the president of Lowell Institute in Boston met with the presidents of Harvard and other colleges in the metropolitan area to discuss the use of commercial broadcasting facilities for an experiment in adult education.
Since then, nearly 900 broadcasts have been presented over Boston stations.
