Nelson Glueck, professor of Biblical history at the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, will be feted at a dinner in his honor tomorrow night at the Harmonie Club, on the eve of his departure for Palestine to continue archaeological work.
Henry Morgenthau is honorary chairman, and Edward M. M. Warburg will preside. Mr. Glueck, who returned last October from a year’s stay in Palestine as director of the American School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem, expects to continue an archaeological survey of Transjordan, according to Dr. A. S. W. Rosenach, president of the American Friends of the Hebrew University, under whose auspices the dinner is given.
Dr. William Foxwell Albright of Johns Hopkins University, permanent director of the American School of Oriental Research at Jerusalem, and Dr. E. A. Speiser, advisor on Mesopotamian archaeology at the University of Pennsyivania Museum, will also speak.
An exhibit of photographs of important discoveries in archaeological expeditions under the Hebrew University’s auspices in Palestine will be shown in connection with the dinner.
