- catalog abstract "These records document almost every aspect of Lowell's administration during the period 1909-1933. In so doing, they also document national and international trends and events. Includes correspondence and other official records of President A. Lawrence Lowell relating to all aspects of the University during his term (1909-1933). Some highlights include Harvard's involvement in World War I, 1914-1918, including efforts of volunteer units, such as Harvard Surgical Unit; military training programs; and rebuilding of Louvain University. Also concerns expansion of Harvard and construction of many buildings, including establishment of the Graduate School of Education (first graduate school at Harvard to admit women), the house system, inter-house athletic programs, construction of the Harvard Business School, Indoor Athletic Building, and Freshmen Dormitories (by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge). Other major topics include: applications to and relations with philanthropic foundations (e.g. Rockefeller); growth of Harvard Medical School and issue of admitting women; discrimination against Jewish and black people; racial and ethnic quotas for students; use of alcohol by students; freedom of expression for faculty (e.g. Lowell defended Harold Laski in his support of the Boston Police Strike, 1919); relations with MIT (especially the Harvard-Technology Plan of 1918) and with several other organizations, such as the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.".

- catalog description "In 1909, Abbott Lawrence Lowell (b. 1856, d. 1943) succeeded Charles William Eliot as President of Harvard University, a position Lowell held until 1933. During his administration, Harvard's enrollment nearly doubled and its endowment quintupled. Lowell's administration reshaped undergraduate education by establishing the tutorial and house systems, accompanied by the expansion of the campus with the construction of the river houses, among many other buildings. In addition, Lowell oversaw the establishment of the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and the Society of Fellows. While Lowell was an outspoken advocate for academic freedom of speech, his administration was also marked by controversy over efforts to limit the enrollment of Jews and policies to exclude students of color from campus housing.".
