A Winston Churchill Chair of International Relations and Political Science at Bar-Ilan University in Israel was inaugurated here last night at a dinner of the British Friends of the University.
Alec Colman, who presided, said the chair would require 100,000 pounds ($280,000). He added that he and a group of friends had already raised 25,000 pounds ($70,000) and that he was confident British Jewry would provide the balance. He declared that the project bears the name of one of the greatest friends the Jewish people ever had.
Speakers at the dinner included Herbert Bowden, Member of Parliament and Lord Privy Seal, Aharon Remez, the Israeli Ambassador and Dr. Joseph H. Lookstein of New York, president of the university.
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.
