Memorial Scrapbooks, 1980-1981

This series contains four scrapbooks, only one of which appears to have been put together by Rowe himself. The first documents his student years at Bates, and includes photographs, clippings, letters, programs, brochures, and numerous artifacts from the period 1908-1912. Included in the back cover is a button from his 40th reunion in 1952. The next two (disbound) scrapbooks were apparently put together for or after his memorial service in 1980, which contains pictures, clippings and other items from his career and service activities, as well as letters of condolence to his daughter Ruth Rowe Wilson. The final scrapbook contains pictures of the campus and student activities at H.P.T. College in Nasik, India, circa 1960. It is not known who put together the last item, nor how it came into Rowe's possession.
