| Caption | An Episcopal minister, Dr. Herbert H. Gowen served in the department of Oriental Studies at the University of Washington (UW) teaching from 1909 until 1944. 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.
This 1929 photograph of Dr. Gowen shows him in a wooded setting in his official robes as an Episcopalian minister. |
