Nine Arab students who formerly lived in the Jordanian-held Old City of Jerusalem have enrolled for the next academic year in the Hebrew University, it was announced today. They had studied previously at universities in Cairo, Beirut and Munich. Their fields include mathematics, economics, physics and medicine.
The Arab students are now among 350 from abroad who started today to take an intensive course in Hebrew. Of the 350, about 100 are Jewish students who had come here as volunteers to aid Israel during the immediate pre-war and postwar days of the June conflict, and have decided to stay here for further studies instead of returning to their homes.
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.
