Appoint Jewish Scientist Associate Professor at Post Graduate College

An appointment of considerable interest to Jewish and non-Jewish physicians in the United States was made by the New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital, one of the largest medical colleges in the United States, several days ago.

Dr. Morris Levine was appointed associate professor of the Otological Department of the New York Post Graduate College.

Dr. Levine, who is the author of a book, “Practical Otology,” which is to be published shortly, has been associated with the New York Post Graduate College, being also one of the head Surgeons in the Post Graduate Hospital.

Attention was focused on the work of Dr. Levine due to the great popularity of his lectures to post graduates at the College, consisting of physicians from all parts of the country. It was because of this interest in his lectures that he was induced to publish them in book form. Dr. Levine is considered an authority on eye, ear, nose and throat diseases. He is the first Jewish physician to be appointed associate professor in the Otological Department of the College.

Dr. Levine, who was born in Vilna, was brought to this country when he was six years old. He made his way through college, having won a scholarship for Cornell University. Later he studied at the Long Island Medical College.

Dr. Levine, who is the son-in-law of the late Rabbi Abraham Eber Hirschowitz, is an observant Jew and a devoted Zionist. He visited Palestine in 1922 and when interviewed yesterday by the representative of the “Jewish Daily Bulletin” stated that he is looking forward to seeing Palestine again and introducing American methods in the otological science of the country.
