The cornerstone for the humanities and social science building at the Institute of Technology was laid here today in the presence of several hundred guests. Ogden Reid, Jr., American Ambassador to Israel, was the guest of honor.
Construction of the building was made possible by a $300,000 grant from the United States Government through its special cultural program for Israel. Gen. Yaacov Dori, president of the Technion, expressed the institute’s appreciation to the United States Government for providing the Technion “with yet another instrument to help assure Israel’s continued growth and development.”
