About

This is the site to share your Dow days. From 1945 to 2013 hundreds of Dow Graduates share one common place we call our Dow. From the hallways of anatomy museum to the snack corner we all have lived through a very rich and active student life. Pictures, videos and more.

This is a brief account of our alma mater’s history. Our alma mater is 62 years old, and finding the historical information can become quite challenging. We have undertaken the task to fill in the gaps in the historical accounts of Dow. Searching the internet, reviewing the archives at the British Library, personal reflections, and other resources has revealed more information. With the series of articles we will embark on this journey and hope to capture the glorious past of our alma mater.

The days spent in Dow are some of the most memorable days of our lives. Everyone agrees on that and people have shared their thougthts in many articles we received. Putting together articles written by the Dowites reflecting on the Dow days has given us an approximation of narratives of Dow days throughout the history of Dow. By no means it is a complete account of all those years but a glimpse into how the Dow days were…

So.

Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone besmear’d with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor war’s quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.
’Gainst death and all-oblivious enmity
Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room
Even in the eyes of all posterity
That wear this world out to the ending doom.
So, till the judgment that yourself arise,
You live in this, and dwell in lover’s eyes.

— Shakespeare
