The Hebrew University is now prepared to commence teaching biological sciences, if the necessary funds are available, says an announcement by the Hebrew University in connection with Dr. Magnes’ departure for America, to endeavour to obtain funds to make possible the opening of the biological courses by equipping a physical laboratory for students and inviting a Professor for comparative Anatomy and Histology.
The decision to open a Faculty of Natural Sciences was made by the University Board of Governors in 1929, and the opening is foreshadowed for 1932.
Dr. Magnes will also endeavour to place the University on a sounder financial basis while working towards the development and extension of those departments which are already functioning, but require completion.
