The hope that an endowment can be raised sufficient to insure $75,000 a year for the next five years for the “University in Exile,” established here in 1933 soon after Nazi Germany ousted all n n-“Aryan” professors from their positions, was voiced yesterday by Dr. Alvin Johnson, director of the University.
A campaign to perpetuate the “university in exile,” which bears the name of the Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science, will be launched tonight at a dinner at the school. Among the speakers will be Profesor Raymond Moley.
The first two years of the existence of the “university in exile” were made possible financially by Hiram J. Halle, who defrayed all expenses beyond the total contributed by several other Americans interested in the project. A report issued yesterday on the university’s activities covering the two years of its existence, states that the present student enrollment of 140 consists of post-graduates representing various parts of this country and foreign nations. The faculty comprises eighteen members who formerly occupied positions of eminence in the educational system of Germany.
