"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." Please see Musser on page 2 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."
