Charles River Basin To Be Names for James Storrow

Definite plans for renaming the Charles River Basin "Storrow Basin" in honor of the late James Jackson Storrow '85 have been announced and have received the official vote of the City Council. A final approval of the plan will come through the Metropolitan Park Commission which expects to consider the question next summer after the embankment being built on the south side of the basin by Mrs. Helen Osborne Storrow, widow of the late Mr. Storrow, is completed.

Mr. Storrow, who received the degree of LL.B. three years after this graduation and an honorary degree of LL.D. in 1925, was always interested in the improvement of the basin and was one of the backers of the construction of the dam at the mouth of the river. He was widely known for his philanthropic interest in the city of Boston.
