A voracious reader who was reputed to have read a book a day, he taught the history and literature of China, Japan, India, and the Near East along with the Sanskrit, Arabic, and Hebrew languages and history of religion. Built in 1932, Gowen Hall in the Liberal Arts Quadrangle on the UW campus was dedicated in 1977 to the memory of Dr. Gowen and his contributions. |
| Notes | Born in 1863, Ella McBride began working in the photography field in 1909 when she managed the Edward Curtis Studio. She opened her own studio in 1917 with Wayne Albee. Albee moved to San Diego in 1925, and McBride continued to operate a studio in various Seattle locations. In 1932 she partnered with Richard Anderson; they continued to work together until she retired in 1954 due to her failing eyesight. She died in 1965 at the age of 102.
