Historical Note
Harry Willison Rowe was born in Mercer, Maine, on November 13,
1887, to Willison and Penny Louisa (Groves) Rowe. In 1900, shortly
after the death of his mother, Harry was sent to live with a family
in Pittsfield, Maine, where he worked performing chores in the
boarding house and farm they ran, and attended classes at
Pittsfield Grammar School. Shortly afterward he attended Maine
Central Institute, graduating in 1906. Between 1906 and 1908, when
he entered Bates College, Rowe served as the principal for the Troy
High School, as well as serving as pastor to the Baptist Churches
in Eastbrook and Waltham, Maine. While at Bates, one of Rowe's
significant activities was debating, and he was generally known as
one of the best speakers in his class. During this time, he also
served as the pastor at the Baptist Church in Lisbon Falls for
three years.
Following graduation in 1912, Rowe worked as the field secretary
for the Maine Christian Endeavor society until 1914, when he was
hired as the secretary to the Student YMCA at Bates, beginning 44
years of service to the school. Rowe also served as Bursar,
Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, Alumni Secretary, Dean of
Admission for Men, Assistant to the President, and in 1946 was
appointed to be Bates' first Dean of Faculty, which he held until
his retirement in 1958. Rowe also created and for a time edited the
Bates alumni magazine, 'The Alumnus.' In addition to his work at
Bates, Rowe also served as a trustee to the Maine Central
Institute, joined the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club along with a
number of other service, social, and historical organizations, and
took the time to assist and mentor many Bates students, staff, and
faculty. Upon his retirement, Rowe was named Dean emeritus and
became the unofficial Bates College historian and archivist, a
position he used to begin collecting historical material on Bates,
and which formed the basis for the College records in the Muskie
Archives today. He married Hope Chandler in 1913, and they had
three children together, Ruth, Robert, and Esther. Harry Rowe
passed away in Lewiston on December 23, 1980.

MC071/01: Bates
records, 1918-1978 , Bulk dates: 1935-1958
2 linear feet |
|
Scope and Content Note |
|
These files pertain to Rowe's employment at Bates
College, as Alumni and YMCA Secretary, Bursar, Assistant to the
President, and Dean of the Faculty. Most of the records seem to
pertain to his position as Dean, but as the files were orginally
kept (and received by the Archives) together without apparent
division by job title, they have been arranged together in a
similar manner. (Exception: see Scope/Content note in collection CA
02.02.) In addition, some items in this series date after Rowe's
retirement from Bates in 1958; this material has been retained in
the order received by the Archives, and probably as Rowe filed
it. |

Scope and Content Note |
|
This series contains records kept by Rowe
pertaining to his activities and researches as the unofficial Bates
historian and archivist. Most of the records date to the period
after his retirement, but there are a number of documents from
before 1958, as Rowe long had an interest in the history of the
College. Most of the files contain correspondence, clippings, and
other items that cover specific topics on the history of Bates, its
founders, its early history, and its faculty and alums. In
addition, there are also some files pertaining to Rowe's own
history with Bates, notably folders on his graduating class of
1912, and a folder on the commemoration ceremony held before his
retirement, titled "A Day for Harry." |
|
Organization and Arrangement |
|
|
|
The files in this series are arrange
alphabetically by folder title, with a separate sub-series relating
to particular Bates Alumni at the end of the series (these can be

Personal files, 1868-1981 , Bulk dates: 1957-1980
6.5 linear feet |
|
Scope and Content Note |
|
This series contains a wide variety of material of
personal nature, that documents many of Rowe's activities outside
of his Bates work. The largest portion of this series is the
correspondence files, arranged alphabetically by correspondent.
Most letters are filed together by first letter of the
correspondent's last name, but a few individuals have been given
their own folder due to a large volume of material or to the
relative importance of the correspondent. There are also a number
of correspondence files arranged by subject, that follow the
correspondence from individuals. Another major portion of this
series is Rowe's researches into family history, as he traced his
early American and European ancestors. These folders are arranged
alphabetically by family name, and subsequently with the heading
'Genealogy' to indicate a more general set of researches. There are
also files on his research into Maine and United States history,
his memberships in several fraternal and social organizations, and
several files of material from his Bates College and secondary
school days. |

Scrapbooks, 1908-1981
1 manuscript box; 3 oversize boxes |
|
Scope and Content Note |
|
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. |
