Harshbarger to Speak
On 'Who Runs History?'
The Rev. Luther H. Harshbarger, executive secretary of' the
Penn State Christian Association and College chaplain, will speak'
on,“Who Runs History?” at the Chapel service at 10:55 a.m. tomor
row in Schwab Auditorium.
Harshbarger has just returned from a summer in Europe where
he was assistant director of a study seminar sponsored by the Na
tional Student u ou n c i 1 of the
YMCA and YWCA. The tour
through England, France, Switzer
land, Germany, Italy, and Yugo
slavia gave him an opportunity to
revisit the places where he had
worked during his five years of
European service with the YMCA
before he came to the College in
1949
The Chapel Choir, under the di
rection of Mrs. Willa C. Taylor,
will sing “Introit Hymn” (Tallis),
“Turn Back, O Man' 1 (Holst), and
“Truly My Soul” (Beattie).
George Ceiga at the organ will
play as prelude “We Believe in
One God” (Scheidt), as offertory,
“Ave Maria Stella” (Titelouze),
and as postlude “Plein Jeu (Six
Parts)” (Marchand). t
The College Chapel service is
a non-sectarian service which
draws its speakers from the three
major faiths, Catholicism, Ju
daism, and Protestantism. Serv
ices have been held in Schwab
Auditorium since the dedication
of the building in 1903.
Schwab Auditorium is a monu
ment of Charles M. Schwab, a
trustee of the College who, seeing
in the school year 1901-02 that
the old Chapel was too small fqr
a campus whose enrollment ex
ceeded 500 students, furnished
money for the building of the new
auditorium.
At one time daily chapel serv
ices were held on campus. In the
past it was compulsory for stu
dents to attend Sunday services
either in Chapel or in one of the
local churches. As the College
grew larger, however, a new pol
icy of allowing students to attend
church services voluntarily was
adopted.

Rural Church
Study Made
A recent survey of 482 rural
Pennsylvania churches in Indi
ana, Juniata, Lycoming, and York
counties indicates that the elim
ination of some rural churches
and' the consolidation of the re
mainder would mean a better re
ligious program for farm areas.
The survey was conducted by the'
College in cooperation with' re
ligious groups.
Basing his opinion on the sur
vey, Dr. Claude J. Snyder, town
and country secretary of the Ev
angelical and Reformed Church,
says ; that consolidation is abso
lutely necessary today because he
believes there are too many rural
Pennsylvania churches which
have neither the time nor the
money to do a good job.

Trustees Fix
Compensation
For Patents
The College Board of Trustees
has adopted a policy whereby fac
ulty and staff members whose re
search work results in the issu
ance of a patent to the College
may now be compensated to the
extent of a minimum of ten per
cent of gross royalties received in
the operation of the patent.
. .Under the previous policy fol
lowed by the College, natentable
discoveries made by faculty mem
bers while engaged in institution
al research were the property of
the College and were administer
ed in the public interest by the
Pennsylvania Research Corpora
tion,a nonprofit organ izat i o n.
Proceeds from patents are used
for the promotion of fundamental
research.
The policy was recommended
by the Pennsylvania Research
Corporation due to the fact that
“in order to encourage the dis
closure of inventions for patent
purposes, it is desirable that the
College establish a definite policy
for direct remuneration to inven
tors.”
The committee also pointed out
that of some 60 colleges studied,
32 provided for such remunera
tion. Thirteen of these provided
for individual mutual arrange
ments, six for sharing gross in
come, and 13 for sharing in the
net income.
