About this Item

1912 first edition Lowell Institute (Cambridge, Massachusetts), 8 x 11 inches tall black cloth hardbound, no dust jacket (as issued), gilt lettering and design to front cover, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs, floral endpapers, unpaginated. Moderate soiling and heavy rubbing and edgewear to covers. Bumping to all four tips. Signature of 1912 graduate Peter D.G. Hamilton (who went on to establish the Boston engineering firm of Hamilton and Barber) to blank front free-endpaper. One page, containing the writeup on graduate Warren Duncan Stewart, was apparently produced after the book was printed, and is inserted at the appropriate point in the book. Prior owner Hamilton was apparently a member of the yearbook committee for the school, and a carbon copy of the financial report on the book, with a handwritten note from class member Ernest Shorrock, is laid in. ~RR~ The yearbook / class book for the Class of 1912 at Lowell Institute School for Industrial Foremen, an evening school which at that time shared classroom and laboratory facilities at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with lectures to students by MIT professors. The Lowell Institute School remained on the MIT campus until 1996, when it was transferred to the Northeastern University Engineering School. The Lowell Institute School now is a division of the School of Professional Studies at Northeastern, offering full- and part-time programs leading to certificates, and associate's or bachelor's degrees.
