Salzburg Gets $50,000 Gift, Will Continue

The Rockefeller Foundation voted Monday to give the Salzburg Seminar $50,000, thus enabling the Seminar to continue for at least another year.

The Seminar, organized in 1947 under the sponsorship of the Student Council, has been conducting a fund drive for $112,000. The Rockefeller Foundation grant assures the success of this drive, according to Seminar officials.

Without the grant, the Seminar would have had either to shut up shop this summer or to curtail its program very considerably.

Beach Will Teach

Approximately 100 European students will attend the Seminar this summer. Faculty members at the Seminar will include Joseph Warren Beach, visiting professor at Harvard this year, who will give a course on 20th century American poetry.

As in the past three years, the Seminar will be held in Schloss Leopoldskron, former home of producer Max Reinhardt, outside Salzburg, Austria. The Seminar is the only center in Europe for the advanced study of the United States.

Organized originally as an emergency reconstruction project, the Seminar is now established on a year-round, permanent basis. Officials of the fund are already planning fund raising activities for next year.
