ROSENWALD GIVES $500,000 TO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
An endowment to be known as the Louis Marshall Memorial Fund will be established at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America through the gift of $500,000 by Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist.
The Board of Directors of the Seminary voted to accept the gift, Dr. Cyrus Adler, president, announced at a meeting held Friday at the office of Felix M. Warburg.
Mr. Rosenwald, who previously gave small gifts totaling $5,000 to the Seminary, stated he was moved to make the gift by a letter the late Mr. Marshall wrote shortly before his death expressing great interest in the Seminary and Jewish education in general.
The meeting adopted a resolution of sorrow at the death of Mr. Marshall, who was a director of the Seminary since 1901 and chairman of the board of directors since 1905. He was elected president of the board of the Library Corporation in 1924. Tribute was paid in the resolution to “his distinguished career as an advocate, as a citizen of his native state and of the United States, his services on behalf of industrial peace, his defense of the Jewish cause at home and abroad, his ardent labors in Paris before the peace conference in 1919, his painstaking and earnest endeavors on behalf of Palestine, culminating in the creation of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, his passion for justice and his defense of the rights of men wherever assailed.”
Dr. Adler, Sol M. Stroock and Israel Unterberg were designated to represent the Seminary in a guard of honor which is to meet the “Leviathan,” on which Mr. Marshall’s body is being brought from Switzerland.
