I met Ted Lowi at the U of Chicago in 1965.  He was different from other U of Chicago professors.  He was young, friendly, chatty and had the only Alabama accent on the faculty. The Lowi family has deep roots in the South.  As some of you may know, the city of Marks, Mississippi was named for Ted’s great-uncle so it might be said that when he moved to East Lansing to attend Michigan State, Ted effectively rejected Marksism.

I know I’m the last speaker, so I promise to be brief.

 

Dad almost died when he was nineteen. He spent a year in bed, before television, the internet and Netflix… All he could do was read. And it was from that bed that he learned how to live.

Lowi Family

Today my brother, Ted, is being recognized by his cherished academic home of fifty-some years. If institutions may be said to grieve, this event comes close to showing it.
