Resolution Adopted by the Board of Trustees 

 of the Cleveland, Ohio, Museum of Art 



The trustees of the Cleveland Museum of Art wish to record their sense of great loss in the death of 

 Bashford Dean, which removes the outstanding international authority on the subject of arms and armor. 



Dr. Dean had a rare capacity for friendliness, and his great knowledge was always at the service of those 

 he could aid. This Museum is greatly in his debt for expert advice and assistance in securing its important 

 collection, and records its appreciation of his many kindly and invaluable services. 



To Mrs. Dean, and to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Trustees wish to express their sorrow at 

 the loss of a wise adviser and a charming friend, and to offer to Mrs. Dean their profound sympathy in her 

 bereavement.
