Emil Ludwig, the noted biographer and writer who is visiting Palestine, lectured yesterday on history and fiction at the Hebrew University. His lecture was rich in thought and form.
He was greeted by Prof, Joseph Klausner of the Hebrew University on behalf of the university men. Later he was the guest at a tea party given by the Hebrew writers. There he was welcomed by David Yellin and Mordecai Ben Hillel. Replying to the greeting. Ludwig said that until 1915 he had been far from Judaism, when he came nearer, owing to his friends Arthur Ruppin and Richard Lichtheim, both prominent Zionists. He wished the University and its faculty “peace, what you most need after the horrors.”
