More than $100,000 has been contributed by members of the Jewish community of this city to the Endowment Fund now being raised to expand the present facilities of Temple University.
This sum was contributed by a group of eighty-eight men and women, in recognition of the unusual facilities which Temple University has afforded Jewish young men and women for higher education. Thirty-threc percent of the student body at Temple University are Jewish.
Plans for the participation of Jews in the campaign for Temple University were prepared by the late Jules E. Mastbaum, and carried out under the leadership of Albert M. Greenfield.
The $100,000 represents part of a $20,000,000 Fund to be raised in the next fifteen years throughout the country. Philadelphia is to be asked to contribute the sum of $5,000,000. A campaign for this sum is now in progress. In the first ten days of the effort more than one and a half million dollars was raised.
Among the leading Jewish contributors were: Albert M. Greenfield, $25,000; Mr. and Mrs. Lessing Rosenwald, $7,500; N. Snellenberg, $5,000; Samuel Paley, $5,000; Lit Brothers, $5,000 and Mastbaum Bros. & Fleisher, $5,000.
A dinner was given Wednesday night at the Park Palace, New York City, in honor of Rabbi S. L. Hurwitz, for eighteen years principal of the Salanter Talmud Torah.
Dr. S. Buchler presided. Five hundred guests attended the dinner.
