M A S M I D i»rHE YESHIVA AND YESHIVA COLLEGE has been located in the ill City of New York more than twenty-five years. Three years ago, when ■ it completed its present edifice at a cost of Three and a half million dol- lars, the University of the State of New York sanctioned the establishment of its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It is therefore in the unique position of being the only Jewish College in America, which has the authority to confer bachelor and doctor degrees upon its graduates. The aim and purpose of the Yeshiva College is to blend in its students a harmonious understanding and appreciation of Jewish tradition and culture with modern life in its various fields of art, science and social service. The College aims at the inculcation of an abiding consciousness of the high ideals and the spiritual heritage of the Jewish people, and the development of both intellect and character through the pursuit of those humanizing studies by which life as a whole may be elevated and enriched. In no way a rival of other colleges, the Yeshiva College further aims to make real what has always been the Yeshiva ' s ideal, namely, the develop- ment of young men who go forth in the world as rabbis, teachers, social service workers or as business and professional men and who will be the standard bearers of moral and spiritual leadership in the communities in which they live. The Yeshiva and Yeshiva College owns considerable land surrounding its present structures, and as soon as sufficient funds have been raised, additional buildings will be erected. We wish to make it possible to accommodate the many students who are seeking a harmonious blending of Jewish and secular cultures which the Yeshiva College offers. The Yeshiva Endowment Foundation, Inc., is chartered under the laws of the State of New York to receive and to perpetually administer Trusts for the benefit of the Yeshiva and Yeshiva College. Trust Funds are safely in- vested in the manner provided by the laws of the State of New York for the Investment of Trust Funds. The principal of the Fund is always kept intact and only the income thereof is devoted to the purposes intended by the Settlors. Valuable rights and privileges for those creating trust funds are provided for in the charter and by-laws of the Yeshiva Endowment Foundation, Inc., and will be sent upon request. Trusts can be created for many different purposes. No amount is too small to begin a trust fund. American Jews have now the same opportunity and obligation to fulfill for Jewish life in America that our Gentile neighbors have accomplished for the Endowments of their colleges.
