It is with regret that we record the decease of George 

 Borup, Assistant Curator of Geology, who lost his life through 

 drowning on April 28. The following Resolution was adopted 

 by the Faculty of the Museum, at a meeting held on May 13, 

 1912 : 



The Scientific Staff of the American Museum 

 of Natural History desires to record its sense of 

 loss occasioned by the death of George Borup, 

 Assistant Curator of Geology and leader of the 

 proposed Crocker Land Expedition. Keen in 

 mind and in observational faculties, enthusiastic 

 and optimistic, loyal to his friends and the 

 institutions with which he was connected, as well 

 as to his ideals, Mr. Borup was a natural leader 

 of men and seemed by equipment, training and 

 character to have a brilliant and useful career 

 before him. Furthermore, he was so thoroughly 

 prepared by nature and by training in the class 

 room and in the field for exploratory work along 

 geographical and geological lines that his death 

 is a distinct loss to the Museum, to science and 

 to the world at large.
