The celebration, sponsored by the Hillel Committee of the Metropolitan Council of B’nai B’rith, marked the growth of the Hilled Foundations form a single unit in 1923 at the University of Illinois to its present roster of 208 foundations and counselorships at colleges in the United States, Canada and Israel.
