Four men of the highest achievement in their fields–three of them world renowned–will be the principal participants here tomorrow in the 13th annual convocation and dinner of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. The four are: former Chief Justice Earl Warren; Prof. Isidor I. Rabi, winner in 1944 of the Nobel prize in physics; Dr. Louis Finkelstein, chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary; and Benjamin H. Swig of San Francisco, owner of the Fairmount Hotel there and a realtor and philanthropist. Prof. Rabi, a member on the Science Committee of the UN and US representative on the Advisory Committee to the Secretary General of the UN, will receive the Seminary’s first Earl Warren Medal. Swig, a member of the Seminary’s board of directors and a member of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s board of directors, will be invested as an honorary fellow of the Seminary’s Society of Fellows.
