Gloria J. Borden of Princeton, NJ died on May 16th in Princeton, NJ. The cause was adeno carcinoma. Born in 1930 in Columbus, Ohio, she grew up in a small Welsh community, Jackson, Ohio, where her father ran a pig iron blast furnace, Globe Iron Co. Educated at The Masters School in Dobbs Ferry, NY and the, then, Connecticut College for Women in New London, Gloria developed a life-long interest in the spoken word. She majored in English literature, worked as a professional actress in the 1950s, as a speech pathologist in the 1960s, and spent the rest of her working life as Professor of Speech Science, first at City University of New York and then at Temple University in Philadelphia.
As an actress, she was resident ingenue at Ivoryton, CT and St. Petersburg, FL, toured the country playing in Noel Coward's "Hay Fever" with Miriam Hopkins, acted in live television dramas in New York, and in 1955 originated the part of Miep in the Broadway production of "The Diary of Anne Frank". In the same year, she married John Borden. She left the theatre when she became pregnant with the first of their four children.
Upon completion of a master's degree in Speech Pathology at Columbia's Teachers College, she worked during the 1960s with children and adults with speech and language problems at St. Francis Hospital in Trenton, in public schools in Montgomery Township and Princeton, NJ, and in private practice. During the same period, she and her husband, John Borden were raising a family in Princeton and had become active in the Princeton Quaker Meeting.
Receiving a Ph.D. in Speech Science from City University of New York in 1972, Gloria spent the next two decades as a Research Associate at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven conducting research on the physiology and acoustics of normal and abnormal speech and teaching experimental phonetics to undergraduate and graduate students at CUNY and Temple University. She published thirty research papers in journals such as Brain and Language, Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, and Journal of Phonetics. During these years, she was an active member of the American Speech and Hearing Association, the Acoustical Society of America, and the International Congress of Phonetic Sciences. Her book, Speech Science Primer, first published in 1980, was the best-selling text in the field through five editions and was translated into Japanese.
At Temple, she was presented the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1988. She was proudest of a popular interdisciplinary course "Nuclear Arms" that she organized and taught during the Cold War period of the 1980s along with professors from physics, philosophy, and political science. She also hosted a radio interview and call-in show on WRTI called "Options" which dealt with controversial subjects such as apartheid, the cold war, and AIDS.
After her retirement from Temple and Haskins, she spent the next ten years helping Princeton Friends School, a Quaker elementary school, build a schoolhouse. She served for two terms as President of the Board of Trustees and chaired its first capital campaign. Her love of the spoken word was maintained by participation in an informal play reading group and in an unusual literature reading group, facetiously called "Deep Think", which has been meeting in Princeton for over fifty years to read aloud. She also was a member of House II, Community Without Walls.
A memorial service will be held at 2 PM, June 14th at Princeton Quaker Meeting.
