Graduating exercises of the Yeshiva College will be held Tuesday afternoon, the anniversary day of Rabbi Isaac Elchanan, the sage whose name the Yeshiva bears.
The Yeshiva does not hold annual graduations. The last commencement exercises were held three years ago. Twenty-seven students, from various parts of the country, Canada and Palestine, will receive their Semicha (rabbinical diploma). Most of them have already been called to rabbinic positions in seven states.
In connection with the graduation exercises, a conference of the rabbinical alumni of the Yeshiva will be held at the Yeshiva. At the same time twelve graduates of the Teachers’ Institute, the Yeshiva training school for Hebrew teachers, will receive their diplomas. Of the 134 graduates of this department of the Yeshiva, 65 are now teaching; seventeen are principals of schools; three are members of faculties of institutions of higher learning, and six continue their studies at the Yeshiva and Yeshiva College.
