It is not a large or particularly brilliant spot of color but it represents all that is implicit in the name of Lowell House. It is the Lowell House tie.

The larger issue, namely whether India should receive "dominion status" with its implicit right of secession from the British Commonwealth, was not even considered by the Conference-despite the fact that it was the Second Indian Round Table Conference and should have been the last...
