Lipman, Jewish dean of the Rutgers University College of Agriculture and director of the New Jersey Agricultural Experimental Station, was praised as a scientist who has won “worldwide recognition” and an organizer who has brought “unexcelled heights of effectiveness and prestige” to the university by Dr. Robert C. Clothier, president of the university.
