Lowell Institute Takes to Air Dial Twist Cuts Off Professor

Relaxing in your room while you listen to a lecture has become a reality due to the current series of Lowell Institute Lectures. Substituting the microphone for the platform bark, the Institute broadcasts eight programs each week over five Boston stations.

The armchair lecturegoer with a simple twist of the wrist can hear anything from Homer's Odyssey to an explanation of the weather by lecturers drawn from the staffs of Harvard, Boston College, Boston University Lowell Institute, M.I.T. Northeastern, and Tufts.
