Dr. Judah L. Magnes, chancellor of the Hebrew University in Palestine, yesterday portrayed Palestine as the future center of medical research of the Near East at a conference with the national board of Hadassah.
Dr. Magnes and Hadassah members discussed plans for the Hadassah-University Hospital to be built in Jerusalem under the auspices of Hadassah, the Hebrew University and the American Jewish Physicians’ Committee.
The new hospital, he said, will serve as a center for research in the existing diseases of Palestine. The high quality of the work can be judged, Dr. Magnes said, by the fact that outstanding German scientists will conduct it.
Officers of Hadassah will serve five affiliated societies, according to Dr. Magnes, May 15 at the Waldorf-Astoria.
