Lane family.
George Martin Lane (1823-1897) was Harvard College A.B. 1846 and traveled to Germany in 1847 to study classical philology. He received his Ph.D. from Göttingen in 1851. Upon his return to Cambridge, Lane was appointed Harvard University Professor of Latin, and in 1869 became Harvard's Pope Professor of Latin Language and Literature until his retirement in 1894. He is especially known for his Latin Pronunciation (1871) and his posthumously published Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges (1898). The Grammar was completed and published by Lane's pupil, Professor Morris H. Morgan. Gardiner Martin Lane (1859-1914) was George Martin Lane's son. He was Harvard College A.B. 1881, and married to Emma Louise Gildersleeve Lane in 1898. Their only child was sculptor Katharine Ward Lane Weems (1899-1989). Gardiner worked for the Union Pacific Railway Company, later for Lee, Higginson and Company, and also was president of the Board of Trustees of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
