Garrick Mallory Borden
As a memorial to Garrick Mallory Borden, late instructor at Harvard and lecturer at the Museum on Moslem Art, who died very suddenly on May 24, his friends have placed in the Library of the Museum a number of books, mainly on Mohamqiedan literature, including the following titles : Sacred Books of the East : Zend Avesta, 3 vols. ; Qur'an, 2 vols. ; The Shah Namah, Alex- ander Rogers, translator; A Literary History of the Arabs, by R. A. Nicholson ; A Literary History of Persia, by E. G. Browne ; Litterature Arabe, by CI. Huart; Modem Arabic Stories, Ballads, Proverbs, and Idioms, 2 vols., by A. O. Green ; Mohammedan Dynasties, by S. Lane- Poole ; Cairo, by S. Lane- Poole ; the Makamat of Hariri, 2 vols. ; Mohammed and the rise of Islam by Margoliouth ; The Arabian Nights.
A career already fruitful and one which prom- ised a conspicuous usefulness to this Museum was cut short by Mr. Borden's untimely death. He graduated at Cornell University in 1901 with the degree of B. S., and the next year received that of M. A. For three years he was lecturer on the history of art in the Extension Courses of the University of California. In 1907 he became Assistant to the Secretary of the Museum, and upon the establishment of Docent Service in April of that year was appointed, iJone at first, to the new function. A few months later he was made Custodian of the Fine Arts Department of the Public Library, going thence to Heuvard. His personal qualities won him many friends and bis unusual attainments the respect of those best qual- ified to judge.
