Descendants of Clarence G. Lowe, second Libarian of the Gennadeion, at the ASCSA
The son of Clarence G. Lowe, Charles E. Lowe, and his wife Robbi, visited the School on Wednesday, October 23rd. Clarence G. Lowe (1897-1965), Professor of Classics at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, served as Librarian of the Gennadius Library for six years, from 1931 to 1937. Lucy Shoe Meritt, in the second volume of the School's History, wrote that Lowe "set about making the Library more widely known, for it had been decided that its treasures should be made available to more scholars than originally mentioned by the donor."
The Lowes and their friends were given a tour of the Gennadeion East House (where Clarence Lowe and his wife lived during their time in Athens), the Gennadius Library, and the ASCSA Archives.
