Pete Musser gives $10 million to Lehigh,
largest gift ever by an individual
by Rita Malone
Warren V. "Pete" Musser, chairman of the board, president and chief
executive officer of Safeguard
Scientifics in Wayne, Pa., has committed $10 million to Lehigh, the largest
single gift ever to the university from
an individual. Five million will be used
for need-based financial aid, beginning
with the class entering this fall, $3.5
million for the Musser Entrepreneurs
Scholars Program, and a $1.5 million
challenge grant to complete the fund-
raising for the renovations in Lehigh's
Taylor Gym. The entire east wing
administrative complex in Taylor Gym
will be named the Warren V. "Pete"
Musser Wing.
Musser is the founder of Safeguard
Scientifics.  He and his associates
invest in growing companies that are
well-positioned in technology market
sectors. In addition to infusions of
capital, Safeguard also
provides managerial support as
needed.
A long-time
Lehigh supporter, Musser
earned a B.S.
from the university in industrial
engineering in
1949. While an
undergraduate, he was a member of
Sigma Chi fraternity, Tau Beta Pi
national engineering honorary society,
and the Glee Club, and competed in
football, basketball and swimming.  He
is chairperson of the Philadelphia area
Preserving The Vision Campaign and
vice chair of the national campaign
committee.
He is vice chairman of the Technol-
Musser
ogy Council of Greater Philadelphia and
director of the Philadelphia Indoor
Tennis Association. He is also a trustee
of the Franklin Institute, serves on the
executive board of the Philadelphia
Council of Boy Scouts, is on the board of
overseers of the Wharton School, and is a
member of the Philadelphia Presidents'
Organization.
"This a magnificent gift from Pete
Musser," said William C. Hittinger,
chairman ofthe board of trustees. "He
has stepped forward to help the best and
brightest students afford a Lehigh
education.  Raising endowment funds for
undergraduate financial aid is the top
priority of Lehigh's Campaign for Preserving The Vision.  We greatly appreciate his gift, which is the largest ever to
Lehigh from a single individual."

International Lyceum:
Preparing global leaders
by Barbara S. Lee
At Friday's International Lyceum,
student scientists, economists, communicators, activists, actors, poets and
film critics gathered to learn from each
other and to share their experiences
and understanding of the world around
them.
According to several student participants, the Lyceum also reflected the
need to prepare for the global challenges that lie ahead. Students from
the Safe Sex Education program played
a number of games to make the point
that safe sex is the only option, but the
most effective was called "Spread" in
which students were required to
answer questions first with one partner, then with another. In the second
part of the game, a few of the students
were designated as HIV positive, and
all those who had any contact with
them or with their partners were
asked to stand. By the third round, all
the students were standing.
Sophomore Richard Kratzninger,
a volunteer for the Safe Sex Education
Program, said, "One thing this (lyceum) has done for me is help with
public speaking. If I can get up and
talk about sexual stuff in front of
people, I can talk about anything."
One group of students talked about
their plans to participate in a North
