The tenth anniversary celebration of Bar-Ilan University opened yesterday at Ramat Gan with ground-breaking and dedication ceremonies for three new buildings and with a banquet in Tel Aviv. President Shazar, Chief Rabbi Isser Yehuda Untermann and Interior Minister Moshe Shapiro attended the banquet.
An assembly of friends of the American-sponsored university and members of the United Jewish Appeal Study Mission attended the dedication of the four-story Stollman Administration building, a gift of the Stollman family of Detroit; the three-story glass-fronted Stern Physics building and the Ann Lauterman Psychological Institute. The ribbon for the physics building was cut by Mr. and Mrs. Stern in memory of Mr. Stern’s late parents and brother.
The psychological institute was a gift of 85-year-old Miss Lauterman of Montreal, who was unable to come to Israel for the occasion. The ribbon was cut for her by Rabbi Seymour Zambrowsky of Montreal and Robert Regere, the Canadian Ambassador to Israel.
