A graduate School of Oriental Research will be established here in a new building on a plot of ground just leased from the Government at one Israeli pound a year, according to an announcement last night by Dr. Nelson Glueck, president of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, of Cincinnati.
The site for the new building is on a two-acre plot on the north side of the King David Hotel, directly across a small valley from the West Wall of the Old City. When the building is constructed, Dr. Glueck said, not only students from the Cincinnati institution but also other scholars, of all religions, interested in graduate study of the Bible, the Hebrew language or history, will be accommodated at the research center.
