Dow Medical College – A brief history of the college, a journey through the years. Students, the teachers and the times at Dow. We are grateful to all the Dowites, seniors and juniors, who have contributed in more than one ways. We are indebted for their research, articles, pictures, memorabilia 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 History of Dow – The PDF
This is a brief account of the history of Dow. In 2005, we embarked on collecting information about Dow history. From its inauguration on December 10th, 1945 to the present day Dow there was lot to cover. The real difficulty was the information from the early days of Dow. There was not enough documentation and we had very limited resources.
We started with Sir Hugh Dow and his biography, then the college, early days, milestones, student life and finally the current day Dow. Many wrote articles about their impression of Dow days and their recollections of events. Special thanks to all who contributed for this projects
