(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Five hundred persons attended a meeting at the Chicago Historical Society where a plan to organize a Theodor Herzl Memorial Foundation was considered Prof. Robert Morss Lovett of the University of Chicago; Rabbi Solomon B. Freehof. Dr. Alexander Wolf of St. Louis, and H. L. Meites, editor of the “Chicago Chronicle,” sponsor of the plan, addressed the gathering. It was decided that a committee of eleven be named to complete organization plans.
The purpose of the Herzl foundation is to honor the memory of the Zionist leader by developing a fund large enough to give scholarships in the Hebrew university in Palestine, to provide prizes for winning essays on Jewish topics.
