Notes This bookplate possibly belonged to a Dr. Howard Murray (1859-1930), former dean of Dalhousie University. Born in New Glasgow, NS, Murray studied at the University of London and was active in educational circles in Nova Scotia. After teaching classics at Dalhousie for many years, he was appointed dean in 1901. Murray passed away in Halifax in 1930, survived by his wife, Janet Hattie Murray.
An escutcheon charged with the three mullets of the Murray family appears on one side of the open window, on the other hangs, what appears to be a medal of honour, the Insignia of a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
