Perry Connects Lowell With Alliance.

After referring to Lowell as the man who enlightened England and America on democracy, Professor Bliss Perry said:

"Thirty years later, when the reason arose for these countries to band together and subdue the monster of present civilization, the anchor that Lowell had forged held."

In addition to the addresses by President Eliot and Professor Perry, Professor Copeland read from Lowell's poems and Percy McKaye '97 read an original poem.
