CALLS HEBREW UNIVERSITY
“BRIDGE BETWEEN EMPIRES"
New York, N. Y.—Some of the most
distinguished figures in the American
scholarly world gathered at the Savoy-
Plaza to welcome to America Dr. Judah
L. Magnes, chancellor of the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem, who is here
for a three months’ stay in behalf of
the institution which he heads. Felix
M. Warburg, chairman of the American
Advisory Committee of the Hebrew
University, spoke of the importance of
the school for the development of Jew
ish culture. “It is our duty to see that
the ambitions of a Magnes, an Kin-
stein, a Weizmann and of many others
of similar stature should be realized
through our aid,’’ he declared, adding
that it is necessary that the university
should free itself of all politics, and
devote itself exclusively to learning.
The Hebrew University was charac
terized as “a bridge between antiquity
and today” by Dr. Magnes, who said,
in part: “Are the Jews, with their rich
background, to say something more in
the course of their history? Have they
any life left to them? Any intellectual
strength? We are studying the Jewish
mind, we are studying the Arab mind,
and we arc studying the Christian
mind, all in this center of Judaism. For
how can we have peace with them if
we do not know how they think? Our
history—to know whence we come and
whither we are going—is a fundamen
tal subject of the Hebrew University.”
Chancellor Elmer Ellsworth Brown,
of New York University, was toast
master at the dinner. Speakers in
cluded Dr. Cyrus Adler, President
Clarence Barbour, of Brown; Prof.
Harry A. Wolfson and Prof. William
Ernest Hocking, of Harvard, and Prof.
James Montgomery, of the University
of Pennsylvania.

New York, N. Y.—A letter from
President Hoover endorsing the pro
ject to erect a memorial to Nathan
Straus was read at a meeting of the
Broadway Association, which initiated
the idea of a monument to the late
philanthropist. The President that he
had “always had the highest admira
tion for the late Nathan Straus and
when plans for a suitable memorial to
his memory reach the stage where all
are agreed as to what it shall be, I shall
be glad to help further that project.”
At the same time the Association went
on record as opposed to the erection of
* statue to Haymn Salomon on Broad
way at 66th Street, on the grounds that
no monument should he set up on that
site. It recommended another place.
London.—To be a Jew is a great ad
venture, declares Louis Golding, noted
English Jewish novelist, in an article
in the Daily Express, replying to an
article that had previously appeared in
that paper painting a sad picture of the
lot of the Jew today. Golding admits
that the Jew is discriminated against
everywhere; he feels, however, that
that is no cause for pity and self-com
miseration, inasmuch as the Jew has
survived all oppression, being enriched
by the venturesome life which he has
had to lead.
