Signifying their intention of continuing the beneficent traditions initiated by their father, the five children of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, who is lying critically ill at his home in Chicago, have filed notice with the Cook County Recorder of the incorporation of the “Rosenwald Family Association” for philanthropic, educational, scientific, and charitable purposes.
The new organisation is to be separate from the Rosenwald Foundation and other benevolent activities of Mr. Julius Rosenwald. The Association has been formed by Mr. Lessing J. Rosenwald and Mr. William Rosenwald of Philadelphia, the two sons, and the three daughters, Mrs. Adele R. Levy, of New York, Mrs. Edith R. Stern, of New Orleans, and Mrs. Marian R. Stern, of Chicago.
No funds have been set aside for the Association and no programme has been agreed upon, but Mr. Rosenwald’s children expect to give it the same scope which characterises their father’s philanthropy but will devote themselves to matters too small for the Rosenwald Foundation to take care of.
The Rosenwald Family Association will follow the example set by Mr. Julius Rosenwald and will spend the capital of the fund within a period of twenty-five years.
