The American college president and political scientist Abbott Lawrence Lowell 1856-1943 strengthened the Harvard undergraduate college during his presidency at the university. As a political scientist, he stressed the role of parties in government. On Dec. 13, 1856, Abbott Lawrence Lowell was born into one of the leading families of Boston society. When he received his bachelor's degree from Harvard University in 1877, he was the sixth in an unbroken series of generations of alumni. In the 1920s Lowell aroused great controversy when appointed by the governor of Massachusetts to a committee to review the murder conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti, because he strongly affirmed the justice of that decision.
