Torrey Cliff Society
The Torrey Cliff Society is comprised of supporters who have included Lamont-Doherty in their estate plans or who have made life income arrangements with Columbia University for the benefit of the Observatory.

Reflecting the original name of the property on which the Observatory is located, the Torrey Cliff Society pays homage not only to the extraordinary generosity of Thomas and Florence Lamont, who donated their weekend estate to Columbia University in 1948, but also to those who support the Observatory’s decades of scientific achievement with an enduring legacy.
