Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of Dropsie College, warned delegates at the second day’s session of the National Conference on Jewish Welfare Friday that the Jewish religion cannot maintain itself on an emotional basis alone.

The topic under discussion when Dr. Adler, who was presiding, issued his warning, was the development of Jewish cultural activities in the United States.
