Investment Guru

At Valley Forge, Pa., based Vanguard, Bogle was chief executive officer from its founding in 1974 until 1996. He served as chairman of the board until 1998 and senior chairman until retiring in 1999. Immediately thereafter, Bogle, a resident of Bryn Mawr, Pa., became president of the Bogle Financial Markets Research Center, where he continues his work on behalf of investors in the fund industry.

Fortune magazine recognized Bogle as one of the four "Giants of the 20th Century," and Bloomberg Personal Finance designated him as one of "12 Minds That Made the Market," depicting Bogle as among those who've had the greatest influence on how American families invest today.

His current book, "John Bogle on Investing," was published late last year by McGraw-Hill as the first volume in its Great Ideas in Finance series. Bogle's other books are Bogle on Mutual Funds, which has sold more than 250,000 copies, and Common Sense on Mutual Funds.

In addition to having served as the Henry Kaufman visiting professor at New York University's Stern School of Business, succeeding former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, Bogle also serves as a director at The Mead Corp., Chris-Craft Industries, and the Commercial General Union insurance companies.

Former Chaplain

Thomforde followed a ten-year stint as chaplain at Susquehanna with the presidency of Bethany College, another ELCA college, in Lindsborg, Kan., in 1996. He has also served as a parish pastor at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Dansville, N.Y. Previously he had been an assistant chaplain and instructor in philosophy and religion at Colgate University, Hamilton, N.Y., and taught western languages and medieval European history at Tunghai University in Taiwan.

A basketball standout in both high school and college, Thomforde earned an A.B. degree in medieval and Russian history from Princeton University in 1969 and a master of divinity from Yale University Divinity School in 1974. He completed studies for his doctorate in ministry from Princeton Theological Seminary while at Bethany College.

Conductor and Performer

Deibler, who graduated from Susquehanna as John B. Deibler with a degree in clarinet and voice, earned a diploma in conducting, chamber music, clarinet and voice from the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest, Hungary.

In 1978, he established the Music Group of Philadelphia, a mixed vocal chamber ensemble dedicated to performing great choral repertory from all musical periods with a special emphasis on new, seldom performed and virtuoso works. From 1982 until 1996 he served as founding artistic director of the 160-voice choral arts Society of Philadelphia.

An internationally recognized conductor, performer and lecturer, he is also director of musicianship studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Susquehanna University is among 10 Pennsylvania colleges and universities targeted by a new education foundation that is awarding four-year scholarships to young entrepreneurs.

The McKelvey Foundation, founded by Andrew McKelvey, chief executive officer and founder of TMP Worldwide Inc., is a non-profit foundation awarding full, four-year scholarships to rural high school seniors demonstrating financial aid need and entrepreneurial spirit outside the classroom.

Sixteen graduating high school seniors from the class of 2001, who otherwise might not have afforded college, have been selected to receive the first McKelvey Foundation scholarships.

"Being an entrepreneur comes from the heart, and doesn't always reveal itself through traditional classroom activities," says McKelvey, 65, whose New York-based company owns such properties as the Internet career portal Monster.com. "I've been fortunate in the opportunities I've explored to have built a truly entrepreneurial company with TMP.

"Now I want to use my own success to help others learn and achieve as well - especially those who might not otherwise get such an opportunity. After careful evaluation, we found that the greatest need was in rural schools, particularly among students whose talents are demonstrated outside of the classroom."

The foundation, which announced the scholarship program in early February, initially targeted rural Pennsylvania school districts with the lowest average income and population ratio in the state.

In addition to Susquehanna, partner schools are Bucknell University, Dickinson College, Lehigh University, Lock Haven University, Mansfield University, Shippensburg University, Seton Hill College, Wilkes University, and Westminster College.

Arne Selbyg, director for colleges and universities in the Division for Higher Education and Schools of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ECLA), has been appointed to the Susquehanna University board of directors for a three-year term effective February 13, 2001.

Susquehanna University's board of directors has approved an increase in tuition and fees for the 2001-2002 academic year. Comprehensive fees for next year - which include tuition and fees, room and board - will be $27,270. The $1,060 increase is four percent of current fees.

"Recognizing the financial burden that many Susquehanna families face, the board and administration have worked hard to keep tuition increases as low as possible," said University President L. Jay Lemons. "This cost-conscious attitude is balanced by the recognition that above all, we cannot sacrifice educational quality. We are committed to continuing the steady growth in academic quality and enhanced facilities that has been achieved over the past decade."

The Lore Degenstein Gallery's late spring exhibition is titled "Hans Moller, Purveyor of Color: The Essence of a Vision 1943-1995."

The German-born Moller produced critically acclaimed work in Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist styles for more than half a century from studios in New York City, Monhegan Island, Maine; and Allentown, Pa. The major retrospective exhibition organized by the Lore Degenstein Gallery features more than 60 paintings. It will travel over the next few years to other museums, including the Allentown Art Museum, the Muriel and Philip Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College in Collegeville, and the Portland Art Museum, Portland, Maine.

The Moller exhibition will run through Sunday, June 3. Gallery hours during the academic year are Tuesday through Sunday, 1-4 p.m. and Wednesday 1-4 and 7-9 p.m.; closed Mondays and university holidays. For information, call 570-372-4058 or 570-372-4059.
