The election of Prof. Horace M. Kallen of the Department of Philosophy and Psychology of the New School for Social Research, as Chairman of the newly-formed Board of Trustees of the Institute for Jewish Affairs, was announced here today. Professor Jerome Michael of Columbia University will serve as chairman of the executive committee of the Board, the announcement stated.
The Institute, connected with the American and World Jewish Congresses, will function as an independent body. It is headed by Dr. Jacob Robinson, and is one of the institutions which have been established for the purpose of investigating Jewish life with a view to formulating the basis on which claims for equal rights for Jews may be presented at the post-war peace conference.
