Steel Gift

Harvard recently received $5000 as part of a Bethlehem Steel Corporation program which makes "gratitude" payments to colleges whose graduates enter Bethelehem's Loop management training program, a company spokesman said Friday.

Because it is a privately endowed university, Harvard was awarded $5000 for placing one student in the 156-member training program. Public colleges receive $2500 for each student admitted.

Bethlehem Steel gave 74 colleges and universities a total of $607,500 this year and since 1953 it has given $8.7 million to 268 schools.
