In his annual report to the trustees of the American Schools of Oriental Research, W. F. Albright, director of the Jerusalem School, mentions the gift of $1,000 made to the school last year by Felix Warburg and his brother, Max Warburg, for improvements in the property and the library. “This gift,” says Mr. Albright in his report, “proved a veritable godsend, since the school treasury is lamentably short.”
Several American rabbis and Christian ministers were students last year of the Jerusalem school, which is conducting archaeological and other research in Palestine. The report mentions with gratitude the aid rendered to the school by the Institutes of Jewish and Oriental Studies of the Hebrew University.
Mr. Albright, who has resigned as director of the Jerusalem school, has been replaced by Dean C. C. McCown of the Pacific School of Religion.
