Ceremonies during which a maple tree was planted on the grounds of the College of the City of New York as a tribute to Prof. Albert Einstein, were held Sunday in the presence of 1,800 boys and girls, members of Young Judaea.
Rabbi Israel Goldstein, president of Young Judaea, and Montrose Strasburger, representing Mayor Walker, addressed the gathering. The tree was planted in the northeast corner of Lewisohn Stadium. After the planting, the annual track meet of the Organization was held. The committee sponsoring the celebration was headed by Nathan Straus and former Congressman William Cohen.
