George Martin Lane, Ph. D., Pope professor emeritus of Latin, died at his home in Cambridge on June 30, after a protracted illness.
Born in Charlestown in 1823, Professor Lane graduated at Harvard in 1846. After graduation he taught at college for a year and then went abroad, where he studied for four years at the Universities of Berlin and Gottingen, taking the degree of Ph. D. from the latter institution. On his return to Cambridge in 1851, he was appointed professor of Latin and later on he was elected Pope professor of Latin.
In 1894 Professor Lane retired and was appointed an emeritus professor; the College giving him at the same time the degree of LL. D. He had given longer continuous service at the college than any other professor, with the exception of Professors Child and Cooke, who were appointed in the same year.
