REFERENDUM SUPPORTED BY LOWELL ON BOSTON BALLOT

Amid the turmoil and confusion of the Boston city elections today there is one referendum which has been unanimously indorsed by the survey committee of Boston public schools, in which President Lowell represents his honor, the mayor of Boston. The passage of this "Act to establish a board of Commissioners of school buildings and a department of school buildings in the City of Boston" has received strong support from educators in the vicinity, but the opponents of the referendum predict a close contest.

Other members of the committee, who are Harvard graduates, are F. R. Bangs '91 and Carl Dreyfus '94.
