Lowell House is home of the Lowell House bell tower, and where Robert Lowell once lived. The House itself is named after former Harvard President A. Lawrence Lowell, an ancestor of the poet. While living in the House, Lowell caused a scandal by dating an older woman named Anne Dick, of whom his parents disapproved; so much so, in fact, that they wrote Dick’s parents forbidding her from visiting their son’s dorm room “without proper chaperonage.” Hear Professor of English and poet Stephen Burt read Lowell’s poem about this incident.
