The Galloway fund grew from donations by students and faculty. The fund grew again after the death of paleontologist Thomas Perry, a Canadian who served on the IU faculty from 1951 to 1972. Perry fastidiously pursued everything he did, from paleontology to golfing, and was an international expert on the phylum Bryozoa and its evolutionary and ecological history. Gifts from Perry's students and colleagues were added to the fund, along with Perry's name. Dr Alan Horowitz, researcher and longtime manager of the IU Paleontology Collection from 1966 to 1996, bequeathed a substantial gift to the fund at the time of his death in 1999. Horowitz's name name was added to those of his predecessors.
The Galloway-Perry-Horowitz fund is used in support of graduate student field research, laboratory equipment, and to support partial expenses connected with participation in specialized aspects of the academic program and expenses incurred during completion of their research.
