The original subscription of $100,000 made by Mrs. Jacob H. Schiff, Mortimer L. Schiff and Mr. and Mrs. Felix M. Warburg of New York to the Hebrew Union College Endowment Fund has been increased by them to $350,000 according to word received by Adolph S. Ochs, chairman of the $5,000,000 Endowment Fund campaign.
Dr. Julian Morgenstern, president of the College announced the gift increases here. He said that other announcements may be made in the near future, as there seemed to be a concerted move of the large donors to double their endowment pledges. The new increases raise the endowment past half the proposed sum. It is planned to complete the campaign before the close of the summer.
