Ceremonies attendant upon the cornerstone laying for a new $1, 250, 000 dental building at the Hebrew University-Hadassah School of Medicine were held here today. Eighty-seven members of Alpha Omega, fraternity of Jewish dentists in the United States and Canada, attended the ceremonies, led by the organization’s president, Dr. Michael Frost.
The dental building, named after Maurice Levine, of New York, is expected to be completed in two years. The funds were contributed by the fraternity and the Kaplan Foundation of New York.
