Unable to attend the New York banquet due to the illness of his wife, .Mr. Rosenwald received the presenta tion at a dinner the same evening in Chicago, given by the Graduate Club of the Fraternity. One hundred members of the fra ternity from New York, Philadelphia, Syracuse and other points in the East, including national officers, attended the dinner in the Hotel Roosevelt at which the presentation ceremonies took place. Although he could not at tend the dinner, Mr. Rosenwald lis tened in on the proceedings which were broadcast, over stations WRNY and VVXAL and received in 36 cities from coast to coast where Zeta Beta fau dinners were simultaneously tak ing place. A telegram expressing regret at his inability to attend and indicating his acceptance of the award was read at the banquet. In acknowledging the award, he said: “I accept the medal and the distinction it carries with it, although 1 feel my good fortune comes because your Committee has failed to recognize the good deeds of others far more deserving. 1 hope to continue to merit the respect and the esteem of my co religionists which I desire above all.” Sabbath services were conducted by Rabbi A. L. Feinberg. Citing his gifts to negro education and philanthropy, his large contributions to Russian colonization, his educational gifts that extend from Syria west to Japan, Mi Reigelman declared the award was made in recognition of “an intellect and conscience sensitive to the need* of all men, able and willing to anal yze and meet these needs, a wise open minded, open handed man, a Jew, who serving all mankind well, served Judaism best. “We honor the philanthropist, the great and wise giver whose largess is marked not alone by its generous bounty but by the dramatic effective ness with which it drew public atten tion to the existence of problems which were commanding public con cern and in respect to which there has not been appropriate public interest,” he continued. “The field in which these gifts have been made is as broad as humanity. The proportions of his gifts have been commensurate with the nobility of their purposes.” Mr. Brown emphasized that in climbing the ladder of success, Mr. Rosenwald had not kicked the va rious rungs behind him. On the con trary remembering well the various stages of his fight with circumstances, he acquired a sympathy of his stand ing of unparalleled breadth.
