Excerpt from Harvard Lectures on the Revival of Learning In an admirable volume, entitled Harvard College by an Oxonian, the late Dr George Birkbeck Hill has spoken of the 'never-failing stream of benefactions by which the love of Harvard men is shown for Harvard.' Among these benefactions is a fund for the endowment of special courses of Classical Lectures, for which Harvard is indebted to the munificence of a member of the Class of 1881, Mr Gardiner Martin Lane, of Boston. Mr Lane has a hereditary interest in the Classics. He is the son of the late George Martin Lane, for forty-three years Professor of Latin at Harvard.
