Dr. Albert B. Sabin, president of the Weizmann Institute of Science, today received an Honorary Doctorate from Tel Aviv University for “his dedication to the fields of preventive medicine and medical research to which he has devoted a lifetime of service,” and for “his inestimable contribution towards the advancement of science, higher education, human welfare and the cause of peace…which have earned him international civic, scientific and academic honors throughout the world.” The citation further recognized Dr. Sabin’s active support of higher education in Israel and further noted that his interests “have ranged beyond the educational and health problems of country and include problems of cultural integration and ultimate peace between Israel and her Arab neighbors.”
