Jack Cotton, a Jewish communal leader of Birmingham, has made a gift of 70, 000 pounds sterling ($196, 000) to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem for the endowment of a chair in architecture and fine arts, it was announced here today by the British Friends of the University.
The gift will make possible the establishment of a Department of Fine Arts at the University. Such a department is viewed as a first step in meeting Israel’s needs for trained personnel to staff its museums and art institutions.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
