Diplomatic representatives from a number of United Nations member states, headed by Ambassador Marietta Tree, U. S. delegate to the UN Trusteeship Council, joined prominent educational leaders here today in the dedication of a new residence for foreign students attending New York University, named the Samuel Rubin Residence Hall.
The facility, previously a hotel near the NYU’s campus, was purchased by the university with the aid of a gift of $1,000,000 given by Samuel Rubin, former president of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, and donor of several schools of music in Israel.
A founder of the NYU Medical Center, Mr. Rubin has in the past also provided scholarship assistance to 200 medical and lay students at New York University. He is also chairman of the lay advisory beard of Fordham Hospital, an institution conducted under Catholic auspices, as well as a founder of the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health.
