A resolution pointing out that “there are other pressing needs outside of the scope of the United Jewish Appeal which must be met,” was made public here today by the executive committee of the American Friends of the Hebrew University as part of an appeal for increased support of the institution.
The resolution says that “the policy of subordinating all minor projects to a major one is bad in principle, and unsound as a matter of all-around planning.” It emphasizes that “freezing support of all causes and projects except one, especially those causes and projects which have expanding needs, will not only inflict irreparable harm on these projects, but will be a disservice to world Jewry.”
