Years of faithful service to the National Farm School by seven trustees of the institution, all more than 70 years old, will be rewarded Wednesday, January 16, with a dinner here. The guests of honor—Adolph Eicholz, Hart Blumenthal, Alfred M. Klein, Isaac H. Silverman, Harry B. Hirsh, Louis Schlesinger and Herbert D. All-man—although all men of advanced years are still active in the work of the school.
While the dinner was arranged principally to honor the seven patriarchs of the institution, all of whom were close associates of the founder, Dr. Louis Krauskopf, the dinner will also serve to introduce six incoming members of the board of directors of the institution. They are Sydney K. Allman Jr., Dr. S. S. Greenbaum, Lester Hano, Paul Lestonn Carroll, A. Downes Jr. and Charles Kahn.
