He spent his life working in the theatre and academic institutions.  In 1933 he received a certificate in playwriting from Yale University. In 1939 the Federal Theatre Project produced a play Dowell wrote entitled \"The God Innis\". Dowell met Hallie Flanagan while working with the Federal Theatre Project and continued to work with her throughout his career. He served with the Army in World War II from 1941 to 1943. In 1946 he graduated from New York University and received a doctorate from Columbia University Teachers College in 1949. He worked at Smith College from 1949 to 1955, first as a Visiting Lecturer of Theatre and then as an Assistant Professor of Theatre from 1950 to 1955. Dowell and Flanagan worked together on the play \"Heritage\" in commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of Smith College in 1950. After teaching at Smith he went on to work at Skidmore College (1954-1956), Vassar College (1957-1961), and Goucher College (1962-1975). His work at Vassar College revolved around their Centennial Celebration in 1961. At Goucher College he was instrumental in developing the drama program and held the position of Associate Professor of Speech and Drama. He died of cancer in Towson, Maryland in January of 1997."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eGeorge B.

Two student representatives (nonvoting members) are appointed by the Board of Visitors each year at the May meeting to serve a one-year term.","Without limiting the generality of its powers, the Board of Visitors exercises its authority principally in policy-making and oversight.

The board is a corporate body serving under the leadership of a rector, vice rector, and secretary. The 16 members of the board are appointed by the governor of Virginia on a rotating basis to serve four-year terms. The Faculty Senate Chair sits on the board as a nonvoting member. Two student representatives (nonvoting members) are appointed by the Board of Visitors each year at the May meeting to serve a one-year term.","Without limiting the generality of its powers, the Board of Visitors exercises its authority principally in policy-making and oversight.
