Entomology graduate fellowship to honor apiarist Lorenzo L. Langstroth

http://live.psu.edu/story/47041

University Park, Pa. — Penn State has received a $250,000 gift to endow a graduate fellowship in entomology in the College of Agricultural Sciences.

At the request of the donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, the endowment will be named the Lorenzo L. Langstroth Graduate Fellowship in Entomology, in honor of the 19th century apiarist widely considered to be the “father of American beekeeping.”

Income from the endowment will be used to recruit and retain outstanding graduate students pursuing an entomology degree, with first preference given to students conducting research related to honeybees.
