A gift of $500,000 for the advancement of engineering education in Israel has been received by the American Technion Society, it was announced today by Dr. Abraham Tulin, chairman of the board of the Society.
Half of this half-million dollar gift came from the estate of Sadie Danciger, of Texas and Arizona, and the other half from the estate of her brother, Dan Danciger, also of Texas. Both were the children of the late Joseph Danciger, who founded the family fortune in Texas oil ventures. The Danciger gift will be used to establish a building that will house the major part of Technion’s Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The funds will also be used to establish scholarships in memory of Sadie and Joseph Danciger.
