Bar-ilan University Confers Honorary Degree on Chief Justice Earl Warren

Chief Justice Earl Warren of the United States Supreme Court received yesterday an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from Bar-Ilan University in Israel, an institution sponsored by American Jews. The award was conferred by Dr. Joseph H. Lookstein, chancellor, at a dinner here honoring Justice Warren. Dr. Lookstein announced the establishment of a program for graduate training and rehabilitation counseling at Bar-Ilan which, he said, was the first such program to be started outside of the U.S. Justice Warren recalled a visit he made to Bar-Ilan University where he saw students “of many nationalities, many tongues, many shades of color and religious faiths” working harmoniously together. The Chief Justice likened Jewish immigrants arriving in Israel to the Negro slaves brought to America up to a century ago in their lack of worldly goods.
