Moshe Brill, 25-year-old resident of Haifa, Palestine, who came to the United States five years ago to study at New York University and who has since received his bachelor’s and master’s degree, will take the oral examination for his Doctor of Philosophy degree this morning while propped up in bed at the Bronx Hospital, 169th Street and Fulton Avenue.
Brill was stricken with appendicitis and underwent an operation two weeks ago. He will be given his test in his hospital room by an examining committee from the University’s School of Education. Upon receiving his Ph.D. at the university’s commencement exercises next Wednesday, he will return to Palestine to establish a psycho-education clinic in Palestine.
