Some teachers are the kind who spend a lifetime building a living legacy in their students.
Others have a knack for nurturing an emerging department into a comprehensive program with high academic standards and a history of excellence. Dr. Bernard Lane, whose career as a professor of paleontology spanned 25 years, was talented in both respects. And now his widow, Sally Lane, has created an endowment in his name that will help maintain the high caliber of Cal Poly Pomona's Paleontology Department. The curator would be responsible for establishing and maintaining a database and catalog inventory for all fossil, rock map, and mineral specimens. Lane created the university's paleontology lab and was founding faculty member of the Geological Sciences Department .
