Hebrew University Board Will Meet Soon in U.s.; Name New American Members

A meeting of the Board of Governors of the Hebrew University will be held shortly in the United States to widen American support for the institution, it was announced today. The announcement also disclosed that the board, which met here last week for the first time since the war, had elected four Americans to the governing body. They are Mrs. Judith Epstein, Hayim Greenberg, Robert Nathan and Harry Scherman.

The meeting ratified the plan for a joint fund-raising drive with the Hadassah for the projected university medical school and voted salary increases for the majority of the university’s staff. Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who was re-elected chairman of the board, pointed out in an address closing the meeting that since much of the Jewish intellectual talent of Europe has been destroyed, it is the university’s job to make good the loss and “hand over a spiritual heritage to future generations.”
