RESOLUTIONS AND MEMORIAL MINUTES RELATING TO 

 BASHFORD DEAN 



Resolution Adopted by the Associate Alumni 

 OF THE College of the City of New York 



A resolution prepared, by direction of the President, by Charles A. Downer, '86, read at the annual 

 meeting of the Associate Alumni of the Colle.ge of the City of New York, and ordered spread upon the 

 minutes, pubHshed in the City College Alumnus, and transmitted to the family of the late Bashford Dean. 



The Associate Alumni of The College of the City of New York record with deep regret the death of 

 Bashford Dean, '86, their Vice-President, and one of the most widely known and highly honored of the 

 graduates of the College. He passed away in Battle Creek on the sixth of December of this year. He was a 

 student of the Class of 1886, and was graduated with high honors. Already in his undergraduate days he 

 had shown marked ability in the subject in which he was destined to achieve such unusual distinction, 

 known in those days as Natural History, but he was nevertheless a well rounded student, excelling in all 

 subjects, as later he manifested deep interest in various human activities, and became a great expert in two 

 wholly divergent fields. 



Immediately after graduation he was appointed to the teaching staff of the College, being attached to 

 the Department of Natural History, in which his success had so amazed his fellow students. He continued 

 the study of his specialty at Columbia University and within a few years had obtained there the degrees of 

 Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. In 1891 he gave up his position in our College to accept an appoint- 

 ment to the Department of Biology at Columbia University. Five years later he was made an Assistant 

 Professor of Zoology, and in 1904 Professor of Vertebrate Zoology. Last year he was given the title of 

 Honorary Professor of the University. 



Along with this work as an educator, he carried on investigations as a member of the United States Fish 

 Commission and was soon travelling to all parts of the world. His visit to Japan led him into a second field, 

 which he made his own, and he presently was known as a specialist not only in Japanese armor, but as prob- 

 ably the greatest living authority on every sort of armor, and as one of the great collectors of armor of the 

 world. While still a young man he held positions as curator in our two great city museums, the Museum of 

 Natural History, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, thus being recognized as possessing extraordinary
