Plans to convert the 40-year-old Jewish Teachers Seminary and People’s University of New York into an accredited college were announced today.
Reporting that a charter for that purpose has been granted by the Legislature, Meyer Brown, Seminary president, said that a Hayim Greenberg Institute for Jewish Social Service and Studies will be opened next year on the 40th anniversary of the Seminary.
He said an initial fund of $500, 000 will be raised, of which nearly 15 percent has been pledged. The sponsors’ committee is headed by Morris Schaver of Detroit, who as chairman has contributed $ 25, 000. H.A. Abramson, co-chairman, has contributed $25, 000 and Harry Gildin, treasurer, $10,000.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
