An assembly hall hearing the names of two New York philanthropists was dedicated yesterday at New York University. The Eisner and Lubin Auditorium in the university student center is named for Joseph L. Lubin and the late Joseph Eisner, for 35 years partners in the New York City accounting firm bearing their names. Mr. Lubin and the estate of Mr. Eisner gave $250,000 to finance the 1,000-seat auditorium.
Mr. Lubin’s public service activities include service as treasurer of the United Jewish Appeal. He is a founder of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Mr. Eisner who died last year was general chairman of the metropolitan campaign of the UJA in 1956-57 and a trustee of the UJA. He received a scroll in 1958 from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of Israel. He was vice-chairman and a director of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, treasurer of Temple Rodeph Sholom and a founder of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
