The Lowell Book At the annual banquets, members of the graduating class would present a yearbook they called The Lowell Book. The experiences of the students who attended the Lowell Institute School at MIT under Professor Park’s leadership are documented and shared in the many publications of The Lowell Book (published each year except for a gap between 1931 and 1948), which contained anecdotes, poems, and cartoons by the graduating class of students presented to their peers and mentors at the graduation ceremonies.43 The Lowell Song The school had its own song, which was published in the Lowell Book from 1930-31.44 “LOWELL INSTITUTE, WE LOVE THEE” (Tune: “Battle Hymn of the Republic”) 1. We meet again with song and word Past friendships to renew, Again we greet our many friends And good Professors, too, Past moments now are brought to mind When we did toil and grind And burn the midnight oil. CHORUS. Lowell Institute, we love thee, Wher’er we are we praise thee, Lowell Institute, we love thee, Thy fame we’ll carry on.
