- catalog description "Sterling Dow received an AB in 1925, AM in 1928, and a Ph.D. in 1936 from Harvard University. In 1931 he married Elizabeth Sanderson Flagg Dow (1905-1990) and they lived from 1931 to 1936 in Athens where he was associated with the American School of Classical Studies. When they arrived in Athens, the American excavations were just getting under way in the Agora, the ancient center of public life. Dow, with the assistance of his wife, developed a superior technique for making portable copies (called "squeezes") of inscriptions and together they made an immense collection of both new and previously known texts. In 1936 Sterling Dow returned to Harvard and became as an Instructor and continued on the faculty as a member of the Departments of the Classics and of History and after 1949 he held the position of the John E. Hudson Professor of Archaeology until his retirement in 1970.".
