Yeshiva University - Masmid Yearbook (New York, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1953 volume:

the masmid 1953 yeshiva college new york, n.y. twenty-fifth anniversary Foreword Four years are but a brief span in history bjt to the young men who are this year being graduated from Yeshiva College the four-year period which now comes to a close will forever be significant. These years, however, mean something more than that a prescribed course of st dy has been completed. Like childhood and adolescence they are to be con- sidered a formative period, a period in which all-im- portant attitudes are developed — attitudes which are to last a lifetime. They are, in addition, to be looked back upon as a source of pleasant sentiments which will serve as elevating influences when we are humbled by diffi- culty. It is the yearbook ' s purpose to concretize the spirit of these four years, and therefore, the value of a yearbook, like that of wine, increases with the pass- ing of time, because when the memories become dimmed it is to the MASMID that we shall then turn in our attempt to revitalize the sentiments of these, our younger years. n Dedication to the twenty-five years of Yeshiva College. They hove, indeed, been years of achievement if only because they represent an experiment v hich once again is proving that Judaism is ever a dynamic way of life readily giving of its timeless values and constantly adopting itself to progress. What is most important, Yeshiva College is young and it is its youth which impels it onward to greater things. The future not only ofFers an oppor- tunity to smooth out the rough edges that still may exist; the future represents a fertile field in which Yeshiva will continue to make its contribution to the American Jewish community. The Class of 1953. A History of Yeshivo With the completion of the 1952-53 academic year, Veshiva College reaches its twenty-fifth birthday. Although young by American college standards, Yeshiva now, more than anything else, represents a glowing tribute to those practical idealists who foresaw the vital role that it would play in the American Jewish community. The editors of The MASMID thought it would be fitting at this time to trace the development of Yeshiva College as part of its parent institution — Yeshiva University, whose growth has paralleled that of many great American academies of learning which also began as theological seminaries. Yeshiva College, with its inception on September 25, 1928, was o natural outgrowth of the Yeshivath Etz Chaim, first founded in 1886. Ten years after the Etz Chaim Yeshiva began to function, the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Semi- nary was founded in memory of the revered sage of Kovno, Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Spektor, who had re- cently passed on. This was the first advanced yeshiva in North America in which the curriculum was exclu- sively devoted to Talmud and Rabbinic literature. Situ- ated at 156 Henry Street in downtown New York City, the school was supervised by Rabbi Benjamin Arono- witz, its one-man faculty. In 1908, a conference of rabbis, recognizing the students ' growing needs for a more general education, permitted them to also attend secular institutions. It was felt that the future rabbis would thus be better prepared to serve on the American scene. And sig- nificantly enough, it is this idea of service to the com- munity that has been the guiding principle in the development of Yeshiva University. In furtherance of this idea, the Talmudical Academy High School was organized in 1915 as an integral part of the Yeshiva. That year also witnessed the merger of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Semi- nary with the Yeshivath Etz Chaim. The enlarged institution, with Dr. Bernard Revel as Rosh Ha-Yeshiva, moved to more spacious quarters at 9-1 1 Montgomery Street. The first Smicha Convocation was held on March 23, 1919. The Teachers Institute, originally opened by the Mizrachi Organization of America in 1917 for the 301-3 East Broadway Amsterdam Avenue at 186th Street training of orthodox Hebrew teachers, became part of the Yeshiva in 1921, and once again the Yoshiva moved, this time to 301-3 East Broadway. A charter amendment by the Now York Stale Board of Regents in 1924 granted the institution the right to confer the degree of Doctor of Hebrew Literature. Meanwhile, plans were being formulated for the es- tablishment of Yeshiva College, and at the end of the year, the Yeshiva College Building Fund was launched. On May 1, 1927, the cornerstone was laid for the present main buildings on Amsterdam Avenue and 187th Street. These buildings, erected at a cost of two and one-half million dollars, were dedicated on December 9, 1928. Classes, having begun that Sep- tember at the Jewish Center of New York, were now moved to the new buildings. The College faculty consisted at first of sixteen men. Among them were Dr. Revel, President; Dr. Shelley Ray Saphire, Secretary of the Faculty and Professor of Biology; Dr. Bernard Drachman, Instructor in German; Dr. Jekuthiel Ginsburg, Assistant Professor of Mathe- matics; Mr. Abraham Hurwitz, Instructor in Physical Education; Dr. Moses L. Isaacs, Instructor of Chemistry; Dr. Isaac Husik, Lecturer in Civilization; an d Dr. Nelson P. Meade, Lecturer in History. Tuition was $300.00 per year. No exact figures are available concerning the num- ber of students in the first class, but it is known that nineteen students received the Bachelor of Arts degree at the first commencement which was held on June 16, 1932. By that time the faculty had already doubled, comprising a total of thirty-three members among whom were included Drs. Pinkhos Churgin, Leo Jung, Alexander Litman and Kenneth F. Damon, and Yeshiva had begun the publication of its world- famous mathematics journal, Scripta Mathematica. One year later, the charter was amended to give Yeshiva College the right to award the honorary de- grees of Doctor of Humane Letters and Doctor of Laws. The following year Dr. Alexander Brody began teaching history and Dr. Eli Levine, the first Yeshiva College graduate to join its faculty, was appointed chemistry laboratory assistant. In 1935, the first graduate courses were given at the College and two years later the Graduate Depart- ment was organized as a separate division. Yeshiva now had 174 students and 46 faculty members includ- ing Dr. Samuel Belkin, Instructor in Greek; Mr. Samuel Sar, Instructor in Bible; Dr. Joseph B. Soloveichik, Lec- turer in Jewish Philosophy; and Dr. Jacob Hartstein, Acting Registrar, all of whom had joined the College faculty in 1936 along with Drs. Sidney Hoenig, Ralph First Faculty of Yeshiva College First Graduating Class of Yeshiva College. 1932 Dedication of Main Building, 1928 Lamport Auditorium Yeshiva University Library Rosenberg, Samuel Mirsky, and Aaron Margalith. Drs. Meyer Atlas, Sidney Braun, Alexander Freed and Joseph Lookstein came to Yeshiva in 1938. The school received permission to confer ihe hon- orary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1940. The first recipient of this degree was the late Rabbi Bernhard L. Levinthal. Other recipients of honorary degrees have been the Hon. Herbert Lehman, Professor Albert Einstein, the Hon. Benjamin Cardoza, His Excellency Jan Masaryk, Bernard Baruch, the Hon. Thomas E. Dev ey, and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. On December 1, 1940, Dr. Bernard Revel passed av ay after tv enty-five years of devoted work for Yeshiva. The following year the Graduate Department was renamed in his honor. In 1942 Dr. Belkin was appointed Dean of the Yeshiva; Mr. Sar was made Dean of Men; and Dr. Isaacs, Dean of the College. That same year, Drs. Gershon Churgin, Bernard Floch and Bruno Kisch became members of the faculty. With the election of Dr. Belkin as President in June of 1942, the institution entered a new era of physical and academic expan- sion. By this time the school had 267 students and 48 faculty members including Drs. Irving Linn and David Fleisher, and Joshua Matz, Bursar. The Harry Fischel School for Higher Jewish Studies and the Institute of Mathematics were formed in 1945. On November 16 of that year the institution became Yeshiva University with the authority to bestow the degrees of Bachelor of Hebrew Literature, Master of Hebrew Literature, Bachelor of Religious Education, Master of Religious Education, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy The Institute for Advanced Research in Rabbinics, the Audio-Visual Service, the Psychological Clinic and the Educational Service Bureau were all established within the next few years, in 1947 the construction of Graduate and Science Halls, the Pollack Library and the new dormitory on Amsterdam Avenue between 185th and 186th Streets was begun. By 1948, when the new buildings were completed, Yeshiva College consisted of 310 students and 57 faculty members including Karl Adier, Daniel Block, Gottfried Delatour, Nathan Goldberg, Hyman B. Grinstein, Walter Nallin, Emanuel Packman, Louis Sas, Maurice Chernowitz, Henry Lisman, Earl Ryan, Morris Silverman, Sidney Pleskin, Meyer Terkel, Milton Arfa, Abraham Tauber, and Israel Young, Guidance Director. The next impressive milestone in the history of Yeshiva occurred on December 14, 1950, when the Board of Regents of the State of New York granted Yeshiva University a charter for a medical school with the right to grant the M.D. and D.D.S. degrees. A compaign was begun to raise ten million dollars for the medical school to be constructed on Fordham Road in the Bronx. The school is to be operated in conjunction with a forty million dollar hospital now being built by the City of New York. At a dinner held at Princeton, New Jersey on March 15, 1953, Professor Albert Einstein acknowl- edged the naming of the Yeshiva University Medical School in his honor. The Yeshiva College of Medicine is the first medical school under Jewish auspices to be established in America. It will be a non-sectarian school with faculty and students to be selected solely on the basis of scholarship and ability, without regard to race, color, creed or sex. The College will have a Board of Over- seers of outstanding civic and communal leaders representing all faiths. Plans call for the new Col- lege of Medicine to be national in scope and world- wide in influence. Already it has elicited interest and enthusiasm throughout the United States. Over one thousand applications have been received from pros- pective students. More than four hundred have ap- plied for faculty appointments, many of them leading figures in American medicine. To the Jewish com- munity, this is an opportunity of a lifetime — to make a unique contribution to medical science and the wel- fare of America. A statistical survey made by Mr. Morris Silverman, College Registrar, shows that since 1917, 1,495 young men have received degrees from the various depart- ments of Yeshiva University (excluding the Talmudical Academy). 927 B.A. ' s; 560 Rabbinical degrees; 436 Teachers Institute Diplomas; 22 D.H.L. ' s; 16 M,S. '  ; 5 M.H.L. ' s; 3 Ph.D. ' s; 1 B.R.E.; 26 L.H.D. ' t; 14 {.iD. ' t; and 1 1 D.D. ' -, have been granted. At present, Yethivo College, with tuition at $18 a credit, consists of 526 student! and 71 faculty members. The lolest faculty additions arc Helmut Adier, Irving Agus, Manfred Halberstadt, Herbert Robinson, Leo Prijs, Arthur Imerti, and Seymour Lainoff. Yeshiva has come a long way since the early doys of its humble beginnings. But it still refuses to resist the tide of progress by resting on past laurels, and it therefore faces the future with unlimited opportunities for still greater service. A re-affirmation of the guiding principles of Yeshivo University was recently made by President Beikin. He said: Yeshiva University has never looked upon itself as a completed university, but rather as a pioneering enterprise. . . We have no ambitions to become bigger merely for the sake of bigness; we rather consider it our duty to make our contribution in terms of service, and in accordance with the needs of education in general. Albert Einstein College of Medicine A Message from the President yt A Samuel Belkin, President Yeshiva University Today, when you are leaving the ivory tower of Yeshiva for the world of practical realities, you must be prepared to take continuous examinations alone. For in your daily experi- ences you will be met with unexpected problems and circum- stances and your future success will depend on your ability to take advantage of the knowledge which you acquired here in order to give the proper answers to conditions and circum- stances as they suddenly arise. Many of you will forget the particulars of the subjects which you have studied, but all of you should remember the totality of your education which developed in you an intellec- tual attitude and an appreciation of spiritual values which are, indeed, the most vital parts in a man ' s education. A real edu- cation is one which helps in the developing of the total per- sonality of the individual, not only part of man but the whole man. The type of education which emphasizes only some intellectual aspects of man and neglects his spiritual needs produces a lop-sided individual. Above all remember that Man ' s chief virtues consist of honest and courageous convictions, and his refusal to yield to the temptations of expediencies and material opportunities. I have abiding faith that you will govern your lives by the standards of the Torah and by your American way of life, and that you will consider your education as a means to a greater end — towards consecrated service to God and our fellow men. Samuel Belkin President Greetings from the Dean The MASMID this year will carry with it to the students of the graduating class a record of a number of milestones reached and passed. Although young, as measured by the life of the liberal arts schools of the country, Yeshiva College will have achieved this year the maturity of twenty-five years of institutional existence. With the largest graduating class on record the total number of graduates for the first time will exceed the one thousand mark. Two sons of alumni are registered students in the College. All these data mean solid achievement, not alone in the world of education but achievement of particular significance to American Jews. With one thousand and more Yeshiva grad- uates in almost as many local communities, whether as rabbis or laymen, educated not alone with fine secular training but with a solid religious background as well, we have finally come to the point where we can make a quantitative impression on Jewish religious observance in this country. The prospect of once again placing orthodoxy in its rightful position of dynamic leadership becomes bright. This challenge comes with partic- ular force to the graduates of the present year because they have more recently participated in the academic analysis of our community problems and have, therefore, the freshest point of view and the greatest enthusiasm and strength. The faculty therefore wishes for the Class of ' 53 all of the best and it hopes that graduation will mean not a sever- ance from Yeshiva College but a continuance of attachment in interest, sentiment, and affection.

And although com- pleted, to the cast of some one-hundred young men, it will never be forgotlon. It was truly a drama with all the essential elements present and accounted for. In the some- what non- dramalic nomenclature, the stagehands were known as professors, the producer was a registrar, the director was a dean, and the angel was a bursar. Already the script and the stage directions have become hazy, and that deeper, more vivid meaning has not yet developed. Only with the passing years will this mean- ing, bedecked with sentimentality, become appaicnt. And il wilt appear in a place from which it cannot be erased — the heart. Act the First September, 1949 saw one hundred Chemistry majors (and Shannon, unclassified, and destined to resist conventional classification for four years) enter the walls of Yeshiva College. Although many of these had been previously exposed to the Uni- versity in their under-undergraduate days, all agreed that . . . that even Abrams wasn ' t like this. Registration, the first obstacle, took its toll. Just how many cards and processes were employed in those primitive pre-Vogelian days of Yeshiva re- mains for Dr. Agus to uncover. After sufficient bows of adoration, Mr. Ellenberg (he ' s the angel ) con- sented to stamp the official Gizmo (a collegiate colloquialism) card, but not before we had paid the University fee, the lab fee, the dorm fee, the locker fee, the mail box fee, the . . . (there must have been more). A brief post-registration respite allowed us to examine that masterpiece of fiction — the catalogue. This, of course, was before the time when the ad- ministration insisted that students take the catalogue seriously. The wary freshmen adopted a wait-and- see attitude. Classes began and we began to see. First in line was Math. But I know Danny from camp, so . . . Hartman, obviously affected by the fragrance of the freshly-ground chalk on Danny ' s jacket, asks Lichtman if he should withdraw now, but he can ' t hear the answer because Forman insists that an A in Moth 1 means his summo. The Chemistry class is packed. All that meets the eye is a beautiful smile which, through unex- perienced freshman eyes, resembles the gleam of a monster that has just ensnared its prey. The object of the course, we are told, is to weed out those who are not born chemists. Dershowitz objects — he wants company. Dr. Levine, with Mayerfeld ' s un- solicited assistance, performed the first DEMONstra- tion . . . ( Heh, heh, it didn ' t work! ) Next day, we had a test . . . ( Heh, heh, nobody passed! ) The treatment of two stock clerks at the hands of the upperclassmen made the freshmen realize that they were not the only newcomers to the In- stitution. These versatile stock clerks also do imita- tions: one imita ' es o proctor; the other, a guidance counsellor. With the latter. Guidance at Yeshiva went b g- time in the form of Freshman Orientation (or as it was later to become known — just plain FO). Few freshmen yet knew what orientation meant, but they soon learned that it was just another way io soy shorthand. But Shannon didn ' t like shorthand and spent the time strolling through the halls testing the joke he had found in Arby ' s gemorrafi on all who were will- ing to listen. The results were most gratifying until he tried it on the school plumber, and found out that it wasn ' t really a plumber after all. Student Council condescended to grant repre- sentation on their august body to the freshmen. The class decides that Mostofsky should be president for one year. Mouse thought that he was running for President of the United States and refused to vacate the office until four years were up. The election results proved just one thing: that if bribery doesn ' t pay off. Chesterfields certainly do. Enough play — back to classes. Ten minutes after the hour Dr. Fleisher ambles in and proceeds to bum a cigarette. In Freudian fashion, he explains English (among other things.) Zryl is stunned, Hadas (remember him) is crying, and Forman is still talking about his summo. Jocobovitz writes about women and even Fleisher blushes. The non-profligate are assigned to Dr. Linn ' s section where they learn that there is a third Testament which supersedes the other two. Still others find out that Mr. Vogel also teaches English. Witty develops editoritis at an early stage and submits a 12,000-word essay for Vogel ' s fifty-word research assignment. The physics majors take refuge from culture a block away. A cable from their vicinity brings the news that they are suffering from an overdose of moshen. In the same environs, the Bio boys meet up with a Darwinian sadist who gleefully proclaims, After you die we ' ll have more space for the frogs! Murray Mayer, with hormones to spare, does some experimenting of his own in the chem lab. He figures that this might lead him to a position on the Yeshiva faculty. Mouse burns his finger with bromine, and receives sympathy from Eli, Vel, vel ... if if if I ver you ... I vud vash vosh it in, eh, eh, voter . . . QVICK! The freshmen, homogeneous by their greenness, finally are split along language lines. The word is quietly passed around that when you take German (prerequisite: Pilfering 1) you can ' t help getting a good grade. And then, who doesn ' t like beer and pretzels. The Latin-Americans are elated upon hear- ing that Dr. Chernowitz removed his horns so that there would be no more Bull in Spanish. French also gets its share (albeit microscopic) of freshmen; Adelman heads for the dictionary to find out what ' s a courtesan. Wagner and Feldman join the Latin crew where Greenberg (already mercenary) takes orders for raincoats. At our first class meeting, it was decided to estab- lish a committee to faithfully record the milestones along the road of progress for the Class of ' 53. (These lines are the almost living proof that the project never materialized.) Eric the Tie Man arrives on the scene to wage a one-man attack on Brother Young ' s bow-tie cam- paign. Colonel Kreitman, who had just made the headlines with his exclusive report on Matsov Ha ' - soosim B ' Kentucky, labels it all a Yankee plot to depose the Confederate Chasidim. Wed Weisbwod, having a gwate time in Speech, thinks that Hygiene is a course in geology until Steiman explains that don dere is not that far down. Eliot finds he doesn ' t like the lower levels and packs up to join the Air Force on Mayer ' s advice to Go fly a jet. As the first semester drew to a close the freshmen were rudely awakened by the news that Yeshiva gives exams. This presented a problem, but there were those who faced the task undaunted. Others thought they knew an easier way out: it was the night before the chem final; busy feet are heard running through the fourth-floor halls. Soon busy fingers are heard at work, a door opens, a desk is rifled, a professor is suspicious, a dean is bold. City gets new students. Those who faced the exams in conventional fashion found them not unsurmountable. After a few days of most welcome recess, the second semester was underway. Gleefully the lowly freshmen sub- stituted upper for lower and hoped that this change would mitigate the scorn of the upperclass- men. But it was an unanticipated dispute which pro- vided the catalyst for a freshmen-upperclassmen rapprochement only to divide the student body along sect-arian (rather than claii) linu . The- i ' ,uo was Class Night which might have had a certain meaning to seniors, juniors, and sophomores, but meant just one thing to freshmen — girls. The admin- istration had withdrawn its blessing from the tradi- tional affair and a resolute Student Council at- tempted to assert its independence. When Council voted in favor of Class Night, President Keller re- signed (before the freshmen had even time to learn who he was). Commentator sponsored a referendum which indicated overwhelming student support for the affair. The freshmen, roused to action, partici- pated most vigorously in the fight on both sides. Forman, momentarily forgetting about his summo, led a Gorelick (Rabbi, that is) inspired ballot-burn- ing campaign (a role he was to later recant.) The administration, obviously stirred by the For- man fight, sided with him, and Class Night officially became past history. In an effort to placate the seething student body, the administration suggested the Dean ' s Reception as an alternative. Council saw ' ihis as a potential threat to autonomous student- run affairs and declined to participate. But all sides temporarily forgot their differences and joined to celebrate the triennial Smicha Convo- calion in March. AI ,o in March, the itudeni body (freihmon and Witty included) extended it bett wishes to Mr. Vogel on hij morriogc. With the spirit of festivities still in the air, Com- mentator celebrated its fifteenth anniversary, iti nostalgic review of Yeihiva history showed that current student problems were merely the echoes of similar difficulties in past yeors. Spring fever produced a state of suspended ani- mation and all problems were thrust aside. Fleiiher took his class to the roof, and Rosenthal, thinking it was a class in sunbathing, exposed his tsitsis-less torso. The lethargy was broken just long enough to hold school elections which saw Aaron Landes gain the Council presidency unopposed. The freshmen, still drugged from the lost time around, returned Mostofsky to office along with Hados as V-P. Com- mentator made its appointments for the coming year with Leon Levy assigned to the editor ' s chair. Witty, already eyeing his turn at bat, had to rest content (for the time being) as copy editor. The curtain falls on Act I as the freshmen, now developed into full-fledged collegians, head for the mountains and Massad oblivious of the impending storm. Act the Second A summer vacation which was to provide a peace- ful interlude to classroom routine was explosively disturbed by an unexpected lesson in international relations. The outbreak of the Korean conflict soon after the close of sessions in June affected Yeshiva as it did the entire American college scene — although in a somewhat different manner. Remembering the experience of the previous decade, Yeshiva students kept close to the institution and returned in the fall as arrogant sophomores and grateful 4-D ' niks. Col. (some claim his official title is Dean ) Sar ' s office became especially active; one soph quipped, Sar is now czar. The age of white bucks had not yet arrived, and the new sophomore attempted to ossert his collegiate- ness by smoking a pipe (Brandt ' s 10% discount to Yeshiva boys) while sitting around the clubhouse (Harry Morris ' ). Mouse ' s determined efforts to destroy this anti-Chesterfield conspiracy were suc- cessful save for two die-hards — Gorelik, who was to receive his graduation diploma with the pipe still in his mouth, and Rosenthal, who received his pipe for the Pi Delta Phi meetings with Hunter College. Sammy Sophomore soon learned that the second year of college was merely the first writ large. The CAFETERIA ' I ' OOPS I one major exception perhaps was Dr. Fleisher ' s English Lit class; here, Forman modified his originol thesis, and now conceded that his summa depended on on A in Malh and remembering the name of Bacon ' s second mistress. Shannon was bold enough to try to match Fleisher joke for joke only to find that the mid-term exam was not so funny after all. Wagner, Agress, Jacobs et al served as the first guinea pigs for the Dean ' s advanced Chem lA course. In the process they braved rooms that lurched, a sadistic lab instructor who ran around playing fireman, and, on the final exam, explained the operation of the atomic bomb in fifteen words. And then there were those who decided to become articulate, and therefore enrolled in Political Science (which, according to one philosophy professor, is neither political nor scientific). Anohow, so much for the purely academic side of the picture. For their part, the non-academic activi- ties flourished as usual. Commentator began its year with a belligerency which set its pattern as it edi- torially deplored the conditions in the lavatories, and labelled the registration procedures the height of inefficiency while attacking the bankers ' hours of the bursar. Elsewhere, a semblance of accord emanated from the strangest of places when the Lisman-Student Relations Commiitee came to an agreement on the Placement Bureau. Student Council also forgot its vehemence of the previous year and supported the Dean ' s Reception as President Landes denied that it was a substitute for student-sponsored affairs. But this was only petty progress when compared with the news that the New York State Board of Re- gents had granted Yeshiva a charter to establish medical and dental schools. This was hailed by all as another indication of the growing contribution which Yeshiva was to moke to the American com- munity. Dr. Belkin (over-optimisticolly) predicted that the new school would open in 1952; Jocobovitz was giving 10 to 1 that it wouldn ' t. A discordant note was sounded by Commentator which cynically warn- ed that the effect which the new school will have on . . . Y.U. ... is liable to be disastrous. A ■ subsequent announcement that washing machines were to be installed in the dormitory storied a (Novy-instigated) rumor that Yeshiva was also go- ing to odd a laundry school. With so many things happening, it was only when the first semester was already drawing to a close that the sophomores hod a chance to look around to notice that there had been some changes made. It was Shannon, anxious to become classi- fied even if it meant sitting on a shelf, who dis- covered that the College library had moved from the boiler room to the power building. Shannon ' s personal search was (of course) futile, but his dis- covery permitted the Class of ' 53 to sigh with relief with the knowledge that Yeshiva actually had a library — and with an Acting Chief University Li- brarian who pulled the strings that set marionettes called Zeides and Greenwald into action. Strange faces in halls piqued student curiosity to such on extent that Commentator — ever ready to perform a public service — assigned its ace re- porters to reveal their identities. One of these strangers, an Adier who wore a Helmut, proved to be most reassuring in maintaining that Yeshiva men ore normal, but at the same time astonished the Commie reporter by insisting that he became in- terested in psychology not through sex! As sex sufFered a setback, literacy gained a convert from one of sex ' s ardent exponents. This conversion was heralded by Dr. Linn with a hearty m ' shebairach for a slender but precious contri- bution to the history of liberal English thought. The convert, Fleisher by name, tactfully intimated that a professor ' s trip to France and on A in the course were contingent on the sales of this book. These intimations of immortality materialized only for Adelman as his purchase paid off handsomely with a history-making feat of four straight lOO ' s. The unusual era of good feelings in student- administration relations that hod prevailed since the beginning of the academic year was abruptly terminated in March when Commie, in its Purim is- sue, reported the news of the misconduct of Shechita U ' s Nulman B. Raverams. A real-live Yeshiva ofFi- cial thought that resemblances were more than co- incidental; his refusal to accept an apology ulti- mately led to the resignation of the editor. About the same time. Student Council accused the Lisman Committee on Student Affairs for a conservative (no capital) outlook and attitude, and decided to withdraw from further negotiations. While Student Council declined to talk to Lisman, Litman wouldn ' t stop talking to students. His ad- dress before the I.R.S. aroused the patriotism of D.A.R. Gootkin who re-acted by writing (un- hyphenated) letters. Other Yeshiva faculty mem- bers silently muttered, Anything Litman can do, I can do better — by at least 100 per cent minimum To make matters worse, they actually tried to prove it. Leaders in this out-do A. (for Aristotle) Litman campaign were Delatour, Margalith, and Arfa. The student body, sensing that the faculty was emerging from its traditional lethargy, made efforts to re-activate the equally lethargic state of student activities. The Debating Society and the I.R.S. spearheaded this bullish drive (to use a term with an obvious double entendre). The Cerc e Francois, not to be outdone, slyly retreated to Science Hall where it exhibited some very insipid French movies; in a more ambitious vein, the Braun-boys published the tenth anniversary edition of Le Flambeau, edited by Ehrman and Adelman. This brief spurt of activity proved so exhausting that the end of the year was greeted with a deep sigh of relief. But before the curtain could be lowered there still remained some unfinished busi- ness to conclude. This business — the May elections — saw Hellerstein elected Council President and Lindenbaum, secretary-treasurer. Mostofsky, al- ready becoming a habit, was returned to office with Grajower taking his turn as Veep of the Class of ' 53 Although Witty advanced to the Governing Board of Commie, he had to wait still another year before the coveted editorship became his. Rosenthal ' s election as Debating prexy rounded out the list of campus politicians. The somewhat discomfitting news of a chap- laincy draft provided a sobering influence as the matured 4-D ' nik again prepared to leave the green- less Amsterdam campus. But thon, you can ' t hove your Kugul and eot it. Act the Third It wo .. a surprised Class of ' 53 that returned to Ychiva the following September oj know-if-oJI juniors. The surprise was caused by some long-overdue dormitory renovations and by improvement in the registration procedure. This was all the more praise- worthy in view of the fact that it was necessary to process the largest number of students in Yeshivo ' s history. Even Commentator did (shuvo for its post sins by praising the procedure as Efficiency Plus, and it expressed a hope that this was indicolive of a new attitude toward student problems. But Commie soon had occasion to eat its words as it became the first victim of the administration ' s new attitude; the appointment of an advisor brought on emphatic response from the editors who consid- ered this a curtailment of their freedom. As freedom left Yeshiva, the Continental spirit arrived on the scene in the person of two professors (Broun and Fleisher) who had been fortunate in obtaining first-class (i.e. cattle steamer) accommo- dations to Europe. Upon their return at the end of the summer, they faithfully briefed their students on the European situation, Fleisher, a staunch pro- ponent of progressive education, decided to put these methods into practice, and did so by exhibit- ing post cards of his trip. The students were un- impressed: scenes of the Lake District proved to be an inadequate substitution for postcards in the true Gallic sense of the word. The wanderlust itch lin- gered long enough for the students to be carried away (by YIVO Goldberg) to Los Angeles to learn about the Jewish dope ring in that West Coast metropolis. It turned out that the dope ring was nothing more than Gootkin ' s attempt to corner the bsomim market. Crime underwent further investigation by Biene- feld,- Witty,- and other budding shysters who were veered between the antinomies of Jewish-prudence by Rabbi ( J. B. says ) Rockman. It was Rosenthal, however, who proved to be the mainstay of the class as he constantly resorted to his vast fund of Talmud {without Tosaphoth) knowledge to provide the necessary illustrative material. But Rosenthal in turn had to take a back seat to the fourth-floor rebbi — Reb Alexander (capital A ) who gained a new Chassid in the person of Moskowitz. Agress, a misnagid from way back, refused to become a disciple of the Jamaica Socrates, and, instead, de- cided to try his luck at Dr. Brody ' s numbers racket. He soon learned that the difference between philo- sophic economics and economic philosophy was just Three Little Words: Isn ' t that so? But if textbook economics presented no problems, the real McCoy caused its share of headaches to the fund-raisers of the Yeshiva Medical School. To help things along. Dr. Belkin assumed personal di- rection of an eight-month, $l,000,000-a month appeal. Dr. Horry M. Zimmerman, the newly-named director of the school, outlined the prospective pro- gram as one which planned to pay particular atten- tion to socio-economic impacts on medicine. It soon began to look as if Jocobovitz would be pay- ing off after all. The medical school wasn ' t the only division of Yeshiva to hog Commie ' s page 1. The Teachers Institute, too, gained some sort of recognition ( Very insignificant, R.I.E.T.S. students insisted) when it received authorization to grant the Bachelor of Re- ligious Education degree; the Audio-Visual Service, headed by Mr. Sidney Vinylite Pleskin, entered the official family of Yeshiva departments; and a Graduate Department of Mathematics was estab- lished. Even the faculty was ofFected by this spirit of achievement. Dr. Rosenberg tore himself away from Yeshiva (and its Dean) to wander around American colleges (a la the Debating Society) in- vestigating something; Dr. Sas, despairing of im- proving anything on Amsterdam Avenue, tried to improve relations with the people from down there (no pun inteded) via the Voice of America; and Rabbi Rockman lectured aniinomously on Park Ave- nue. The debaters, sensing that their vested interests were at stoke, reasserted themselves on their annual barnstorming tour as they graphically attempted to solve the economic ills of the country. In this respect, Adelman went one step short of martyrdom by pairing with Lancaster ' s gift to the world — S. Z. Siegel. Meanwhile a bitter rivalry developed between Siegel ' s I.R.S. and Fulda ' s Eranos. Although Siegel was successful in getting his Taftish countenance onto Commentator ' s glossy pages, Fulda outdid him by being zocbe to a Purim lampooning (as Sambred Fullof) — a distinction usually restricted to the faculty. (But then, that ' s where some claimed his tongue was pointing.) For their part, the Soc. Soc. in very unsociologicol fashion discussed sex in marriage, sex in the South Pacific, and sex at Yeshiva. This, too, was the year of surveys. A Comme nta- tor polling showed that half the student body didn ' t know who was Student Council President, and al- most one-tenth didn ' t know who was Dean — and this, mind you, was still B.V.D. (Before Vogel, Dan). Yale University appeared on the scene to determine the drinking habits of Yeshiva-men. The results in- dicated that 81 per cent drink egg-creams at Harry and Morris ' . A guy named Guy came from the Journal-American to sample student opinion ; this come as a surprise to Dr. Lisman who didn ' t think that such a thing existed. And finally, Bishop Lif- shutz made a fsHsis survey which was disguised as on x-ray examination. Around Purim time, a minor revolution swept Sam D. Dorman in as President of the University. The new administration initiated a clean-up campaign and promptly extended it to include students ' poc- kets with a hike in tuition rates. About the same ti me. Student Council decided to clean up the con- dition of extracurricular activities, and SAC, con- ceived and headed by Tootsie Wagner, came into being. The SAC personnel lived up to the cynical predictions when they all ran for student office; they found out, however, that the student body did not appreciate that they had succeeded in opening the dorm lounge. Another clean-up program — an investigation of the Yeshiva libraries — suffered an unhallowed demise before it oven got started. Election time rolled around again, and the Clcs of ' 53 finally came into its own. Shapiro, Korn, and Bahn emerged as the victorious Council triumvirate; Mostofsky -this time with Forman — consented to serve again; Witty finally made it as Commie editor; and Adelman inherited the MASMID. Just before the curtain fell on Act Throe, the good news that an agreement had been reached on the thorny aw ards issue was announced. Al- though this was not to affect them until a year hence, several members of the class (Adelman, Arbesfeld, Danishefsky, and Jakubovitz) jumped the gun by receiving honors at the June Commence- ment. And while most Yeshiva boys again made the trek to the promised Catskills, — Berenson, Linden- baum, and Wagner, chose to be tea-boys in the Promised Land. Act the Fourth In September, the Class of ' 53 returned to the banks of the Harlem as seasoned and smug vet- erans ready to begin the final act of their drama. Obviously obsessed with their role as elder states- men, the seniors withdrew from contact with the lower- classmen rabble; only begrudgingly did they acknowl- edge that the rabble far outnumbered them. The Dean, for his part, was content to let disdain re- main the province of the seniors, and charitably greeted the return of Dr. Rosenberg from a year of absence by according him full professorial rank. The Prussian leader (who had left his regiments under the command of Major Maier), was accom- panied by a novelist tuned homiletician; the latter soon a-Wouk to realize that Yeshiva men have no religious feeling. The thick walls of Yeshiva may have been suc- cessful in excluding the religious spirit, but they could not prevent the nation-wide election fever from penetrating. Yeshiva students (who take pride in being different) once again chalked up a point for the cause of non-conformity by bucking the tide with a 16 to 1 endorsement of Adloi. Glick- man put aside his toys for a moment and enjoyed his hour of glory when he accurately predicted the election outcome. Taking a cue from the election revelations, the Womon ' -, Organi.dalion conducted a revealing in- ' .poction of Stern ' s Soup Kitchen, and come lo the concluiion that, among other things, the fo od wo served without imagination and hod no eye appeal. Novy, known to have an eye for a toity dish, gave his assent lo thii description. Prolonged negotiations with the proprietors resulted in ccrloin improvements: henceforth bread would be sliced one-eighth of an inch thicker and stuffed meat dishes would contain real meat. But elsewhere war flared up in earnest. The chief belligerents in this new Prussian War were Kaiser Isaacs and Chancellor Rosenberg with Student Coun- cil, Herr Maier, Herr Witty, and Doktor D. D. Freed getting in their licks. Among the incidents that led to hostilities were the refusal to grant administration approval to an honorary German fraternity; the dismissal of Herr Maier; and the ruling that all three- credit courses must meet thrice weekly. The Prussian cause, supported by Council resolutions and chair- man-less moss meetings, suffered defeat in the end. Several weeks after a truce had been declared. Commen tator impudently asked why certain three- credit courses were meeting only twice weekly. Col. Sar, sensing that the situation demanded drastic measures, declared martial law ond warned that all m nyan-dodging dorm residents would soon be occupying bunks elsewhere. The period of peace that ensued with the cessation of hostilities was disturbed by only one incident. Again around Purim time, on attempt at revolution was made by Danish Bagel Hommany who hoped to depose King Isaacvirus. His plot was discovered and Bagel was executed but not before he had re- cited backwards the krishma in Anglo-Saxon. Other events of an already hectic year were the opening of a girls division of the Teachers Institute; the posting of the College ' s first Dean ' s List; Dr. Churgin ' s appointment as President of the proposed Bar-Man University; the blood-letting of Yeshiva stu- dents; and the naming of the medical school in honor of Professor Albert Einstein. Student activities, organized for the sole purpose of getting their pictures into the MASMID, again went through the motions in varying degrees of intensity: (he Sophist Society finally came up with a topic that struck close to home as they debated on fair employment practices; the I.R.S. spent time at Barnard and Philadelphia where Rosenthal claims he made out; and Gordon ' s Soc. Soc. conducted some more surveys. But the seniors, already surfeited with college and things collegiate, could not really be blamed if they exhibited a lack of energy. They had other things to do. Some became engaged, some got married, and others (like Norbie Weinberg) were busy chauffeuring around the Yeshiva secretaries. The days quickly flew past and election time rolled around again. Since this had little interest for the departing seniors, the Class of ' 53 held a special election of their own at which Adelman was elected valedictorian. Before the B.A. could be called their own the last in the series of examinations had to be overcome. To those who claimed that seniors were entitled to exemptions, the Dean replied, Anybody who can ' t talk his instructor out of an exam doesn ' t deserve to graduate. Mouse ' s record of complete presidential inactivity finally was broken when he made up for everything with his untiring work on the Senior Dance. One hundred ' 53ers (with only a half-dozen chemistry majors among them — plus Shannon) donned ties and white shirts for the gala affair at the Hotel Brewster. Three days later Commencement Exercises were held. The curtain fell for the final time just as the last graduate filed out of Lamport Auditorium.

Irwin Shapiro Vice-President: Marshall Korn Sec-Treasurer: Saul Bahn From its predecessors the 1952-53 Student Council inherited a rather unenviable legacy of strained rela- tions with the College Administration. The walls of mutual distrust which had been erected during the past years hod made co-operation with the Adminis- tration seem to be a virtual impossibility. A major objective of this year ' s Council was to eliminate this very unhealthy state of affairs. It was decided that it would be far easier to work with than against the Administration and a review of the year ' s accomplishments indicates that this was a wise decision. The first of a series of joint Council- Administration projects was a group of guidance pro- grams designed to assist new students in planning their courses of study during their college careers. Faculty members of the various departments partici- pated in several lectures to acquaint students with the requirements and preparations necessary in the different fields. At the beginning of the year, Student Council funds were transferred from the downtown office of the University to the Bursar ' s office at the College thus making them more accessible when needed. In this way, what had in the past been a handicap to the efficient conduct of student affairs was removed. The scopes of The Commentator, The MASMID, and the Student Activities Committee were widened, and in- creased Council appropriations made possible the publication of a twenty-fifth anniversary issue for both The Commentator and The MASMID. There arose only one cause of friction between the Council and the Commie editors and this too was resolved amicably in the end. SAC, in its second year of existence, served as a long-needed co-ordinating force for the numerous student clubs and societies. The goal of each student with an activity came close to realization as most groups expanded their activities and new clubs such as the Israeli Philatelic Society were formed. The SAC requirement that societies report periodically on their work served to stimulate greater activity and responsi- bility. SAC and the Council assisted several groups to bocomo affiliated with notional honorary societies. Council made definite strides of progress and al- though they were for the most part piecemeal in nature it is almost certain that the accomplishmenti- will bo enduring. More than anything else, there was exhibited an ability to meet and deal effectively with situations as they arose. For the first time in the history of Yeshiva College, the Senior class secured the right to vote on the class valedictorian from among the three top-ranking students. The ever-popular Fireside Chats were continued with faculty members lecturing informally to appre- ciative students. Council again co-operated with the Dean in the planning of the Dean ' s Reception which this year was attended by over four-hundred students and their guests. After fruitful negotiations with the Administration and the cafeteria owners, the service, cleanliness, and quality of the food were improved. Student Council became affiliated with the National Students Association and thus placed itself in a posi- tion to benefit from the experience of similar bodies on college campuses throughout the United States. The constitution of the Student Council which had remained unchanged since 1932 was reviewed and clarified so that future Councils would be able to avoid the difficulty which had arisen in interpreting many hazy clauses. The Co-op Stores were subjected to closer Council supervision and the lowering of many prices offered proof of itj service to the ifudenf body. A Book Ex- change was instituted to function at the beginning of semesters and students were enobled to secure textbooks at greatly reduced prices. Class elections were held in the main Co-op ifore in an effort to increase the number of voters. For the first time the Dean granted permission to hold class meetings during regular classroom hours. Keys for outstanding work in extra-curricular activi- ties were distributed at the year ' s end. Requirements were made more rigid in order to maintain the proper respect for these awards. Token as a whole the many achievements of the 1952-53 Student Council offer proof that it is pos- sible to get things down efficiently in a quiet way. The only requisite is a willingness to meet issues hon- estly and co-operatively. This year ' s Council hos es- tablished a new era in student government at Yeshiva and fondly hopes that its successors will build care- fully on the foundations laid during the post year. The members of the Council were: Irwin Shapiro, president; Marshall Korn, vice-presi- dent; Soul Bahn, secretory-treasurer. Freshman: Herbert Schreiber, president; Joseph Kaplan, vice-president; Sophomore: Howard Spear, president; Judah Harris, vice-president; Upper Sopho- more: Norman Rosenfeld, president; Seymour Essrog, vice-president; Lower Junior: Joseph Urivetsky, presi- dent; Seymour Essrog, vice-president; Junior: Joel Bal- sam, president; Neil Hechf, vice-president; Upper Junior: Alexander Deutsch, president; Josef Fischer, vice-president; tower Senior: Oscar Schochfer, presi- dent; Isaac Goodman, vice-president; Senior: David Mostofsky, president; Emanuel Forman, vice-president.

I. fo r.: N. Hecht, M. Gefler, G. Rosenthal, J. Adelman, J. Balsam; standing E. Louer, J. Heller, J. Kaplon, A. Fuss, L. Wildes. The Debating Society continued to set the pace as one of the leading extro-curricular activities at Yeshiva as it rounded out what unofficial records show to be its nineteenth season, it maintained the tradition established in past years by winning substantially more debates than it lost. Realizing that the reputation of the team can only be kept intact by developing new talent, the Society this year carried out an extensive pre-varsity training program in which some twenty-five freshmen partic- ipated. Under the direction of Bob Rothman and FIshel Pearlmutter, the novices engaged in a series of elimination debates to fill the vacant positions in the Varsity ranks. The successful debaters were Jacob Heller, Joel Balsoam, Eli Lauer, Joe Kaplan, and Neil Hecht. These and several other first-year debaters met in inter-collegiate debates with junior varsity teams of the metropolitan area. Six varsity debaters remained on hand from last year. They were: Gil Rosenthal, Jack Adelman, Joseph Erushalmy, Samuel April, Fishel Pearlmutter, and Mor- ton Gefter. The debaters again met such outstanding New York teams as Columbia, Barnard, City College, New York University, and Brooklyn College. For the first time in the history of the Society, Yeshiva partic- ipated in an inter-collegiate tournament at Fordham College. Although the two teams emerged with a split record of three wins and three losses, it provided a novel experience and the Yeshiva debaters look forward to more tournament participation. As in the past the highlights of the debating season were the tours to out-of-town colleges. The Northern team, consisting of Gil Rosenthal and Jacob Heller, went to the Boston area and emerged undefeated from debates with Brown, Harvard, M.I.T., Tufts, Bos- ton College, and Northeastern. The Southern teams registered victories over the University of Pennsyl- vania, Georgetown, Howard, and the University of Maryland Law School. Jack Adelman, Fishel Pearl- mutter, Eli Lauer, and Joe Kaplan were the members of the Southern group. The third team, consisting of Samuel April, Joel Balsam, and Morton Gefter, downed Colgate, Cornell, Union, and Albany. In addition, special tours were sent to Princeton, West Point, and New Haven State Teachers College. All debates were held on the national inter-colle- giate topic: Resolved that the federal government should adopt a compulsory Fair Employment Practice law. The officers of the Society were: Gil Rosenthal, presi- dent; Morton Gefter, secretary; Jack Adelman, campus manager; Fishel Pearlmutter, general manager; and Samuel April, treasurer. Dr. David Fleisher, Professor of English, again served as faculty adviser. Co-op Stores Managers: Morton Richter Harry Shidlovsky Again this year the Co-op Stores continued their extensive expansion program and offered hundreds of items from yoyos to television sets at substantia! savings to the student body. In line with this program the Gift Store was enlarged to include a wider selec- tion of sterling silver items, religious articles, wrist watches, and other merchandise carried in leading gift shops. Photography and sports departments were added to the Gift Store. The Book Store offered sizeable discounts to stu- dents on both textbooks and general reading material. An effort was mode to keep textbooks in stock throughout the academic year. The mail-order divi- sion of the Book Store assisted the Yeshiva Graduate Schools and the Psychological Clinic in procuring many hard-to-get books. In addition to candy, cake, and cigarettes, the Candy Store belied its name and carried a diversified stock that included school supplies, Yeshiva station- ery, deeds, pennants, sweaters, hots, and sweat- shirts. An ice-cream freezer was installed during the warm spring days. The Ticket Bureau supplied tickets lo Broadway plays at special student rates, and distributed tickets to top radio and television programs, to concerts ond dramatic presentations. The Record Bureau offered a wide selection of cantoriol and Israeli records as well as phonographs and tape recorders. Morton Richter and Harry Shidlovsky served as managers of the many departments which made up the Co-op Stores. Members of the staff included: Gift Store — Abraham Morduchowitz, Jack Greenberg, Jerry Cohen, Joe Kaplan, Joel Danishefsky, Moshe Pachino, Morton Shulmon. Book Store — David Mostofsky, Abe Keehn, Chester Bershling, Hyman Arbesfeld, Jechiel Gruenbaum, Martin Elefant, David Stadtmauer, Oscar Shocter, Hershel Weinberger. Candy Store — Jock Reiner (manager , Wolf Wal- ter, Bernie Reiss, Joel Smilchensky, Herbert Fishman, Murray Bomzer, Seymour Steinmetz, Simeon Cohen.

Sociological Society R.S. Although only in its second year of existence on the extra-curric ular scene, the Sociological Society proved to be one of the most active groups at Yeshiva during the 1952-53 academic year. The activ- ities of the Society were of two types: guest speakers and group projects. In the first category, the group heard a discussion of Vocational Opportunities in Sociology by Mr. Nathan Goldberg, Associate Professor of Sociology and adviser to the Society. Mr. Goldberg emphasized that those who intend to make a career in the field must have a genuine interest in their work. Later in the year, the Society was addressed by Mr. Leo Krown, Director of the Professional and Technical Workers Aliyoh, a subsidiary organ of the Jewish Agency. Mr. Krown spoke on Sociological Oppor- tunities in Israel. The Society undertook two questionnaire surveys: the first, involved a study of Yeshiva College alumni and was designed to determine the effect of their Yeshiva education on their doily and social rela- tionships; the second, undertaken with the interest and aid of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congrega- tions of America, was a study of the American rabbinate. The Society filed an application to become affiliated with Alpha Kappa Delta, the national sociology honor fraternity. Officers of the group were Macy Gordon, president; and Joseph Harris, secretary. This year, the twentieth of its existence at Yeshiva, the International Relations Society continued its two major functions of presenting prominent speakers to the student body and participating in various inter- collegiate conferences. Again under the guidance of Dr. Aaron Margalith, Professor of Political Science, the I.R.S. attempted to stimulate a feeling of inter- national fellowship and understanding among Yeshiva students. The I.R.S. attended the conference of the Middle Atlantic International Relations Clubs at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania in December. In February, I.R.S. sent a delegation to a conference on the Middle East at Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., where Gil Rosenthal read a paper on Israel. In addition, the Society participated in a conference on foreign affairs at Barnard College, attended the Herald-Tribune Youth Forum, and was represented at the various meetings of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations. The group sponsored several student assemblies presenting Benjamin A. Cohen, Assistant Secretory- General of the United Nations, and Rev. Karl Baehr, Executive Secretary of the American Christian Pal- estine Committee. A political rally was held prior to the national elections with guest speakers from the major parties. The officers were Gil Rosenthal, president; Jack Adelmon, vice-president; and Neil Hecht, secretary. Eranos Le Cercle Francais Eranos, the clobsical society of Yoshiva College, again sponsored a series of monthly lectures whicfi dealt with the confribufions of the ancient civiliza- tions. A departure from the past was made when it was decided to hove students lecture to the group. This encouraged individual research and, on the whole, proved to be quite successful. The lectures were designed to appeal not only to the major in the Classics but also to the general stu- dent body. This objective was well carried out by two lectures on Greek political thought. The first dealt with Solon ' s social and political views as seen in his works, while the other dwelt upon Pericles ' views of Athenian democracy as they ore presented in Thucydides. Subjects of Jewish interest were also discussed. An example of this was a lecture on the Jewish com- munity in ancient Alexandria and its relations with the Gentile population of that city. Another talk was devoted to The Leisure Time Activities in Ancient Rome and their social and economic implications. An exhibition of slides entitled Sights and Scenes of Rome and Pompei proved to be especially in- teresting. The officers of the Society were: Aharon Lichten- stein, president; Morton Narrowe, vice president; and Herbert Lerner, secretary. The Corclc Francois, agoin under the guidance of Dr. Sidney D. Braun, Professor of French, continued its program of varied activities. It sponsored a series of motion picture programt including Ruy Bias, a full-length film which wos open to the student body. It also presented leverol prominent French speakers among whom were Dr. Rene Taupin of Hunter College, Dr. Jacques Guichor- naud of Yale University, and Professor Frederick Hoffherr of Barnard College. A conversation group met regularly under the supervision of William Stern and Joseph Sungolowsky. The Yeshiva chapter of Pi Delta Phi, the national French honor society, held its second initiation during the past year and mode plans to arrange social get- togethers with chapters at other metropolilon uni- versities. Other activities planned for this year ore the publication of the eleventh edition of Le Flambeau, the scholarly French magazine with Messrs. Stern and Sungolowsky as co-editors and Herbert Dobrinsky as associate editor, and debates in French with other colleges. The officers of the Cercle were Ori Schonthol, president; Ervin Birnboum, vice-president; Joseph Le- vine, secretary; and Arthur Krochmol, treasurer. First row, . (o r.: I. Pechtman, A.

Psychological Society Pre-Medical Society Continuing the precedent established in the past, the program of the Psychological Society this year was highlighted by a series of lectures of special interest to students who plan to do advanced work in the field. Among the speakers were Dr. Jacob Hartstein, Dean of the Graduate Schools of Yeshiva University, who spoke on Opportunities in Psy- chology, and Dr. Benjamin Wolmon, Professor of Psychology at C.C.N.Y. and Yeshiva, who discussed Social Psychology in Israel. The Society made efforts this year to establish a chapter of Psi Chi, the national honorary fraternity, at Yeshiva. The decision of the Fraternity Council is expected early next term. Officers of the Society were: Daniel Bonchek, presi- dent; Avinoom Walles, vice president; Norbert Wein- berg, secretary; and Arnold Feldman, treasurer. Dr. Helmut Adier, Instructor in Psychology, served as ad- viser to the group. The Pre-Medical Society of Yeshiva College hod two objectives in planning this year ' s program. First, to acquaint its members with the latest developments in the fields of medical education, practice, and re- search; and second, to supply information to the pre-meds which might prove helpful in their at- tempt to gain admission to medical school. In line with the first objective, the Society heard several prominent physicians discuss their personal researches. During the month of February, Dr. Bruno Z. Kisch, Professor of Chemistry at Yeshiva and a world renowned cardiologist, spoke on The Use of the Electron Microscope in Heart Research, and Dr. A. W. Freireich of the Post Graduate Medical School of New York University discussed Recent Advance- ments in the Treatment of Poisons. A film, Journey into Medicine, which described the training of a specialist, was shown. As a means of providing guidance to the pros- pective medical student, a round-table discussion which considered the proper pre-medical program was conducted early in the year. The participants were Dean Isaacs and members of the Biology and Chemistry Departments of Yeshiva. The Society heard talks on the medical school application, inter- view, and Admission Test by members who had taken them. It has secured medical school catalogues, aptitude tests, and other helpful information. The officers of the Pre-Medical Society were: Alex- ander Deutsch, president; Gerald Nissenbaum, vice- president; and Chester Berschling, secretary-treasurer. Seated, I. o r.: A. Jacobovitz, S.

S.A.C In its second year of existence, the Student Activi- ties Committee, again under the chairmanship of Daniel Bonchek, continued to materialize many of its far-sighted objectives. Among these projects were: the publication of You, The Student, edited by Seymour Essrog; the re-opening of the Dorm Lounge; the establishment of a student mail system headed by Jock Reiner; and efficient handling of the bulletin boards under the direction of Manny Gold and Judah Harris. A Clearing House Committee, headed by Marshall Korn and Avinoam Walles, helped to eliminate con- flicting student affairs. The committee also kept a complete record of all club officers and members. A SAC sub-committee, headed by Sheldon Korn- bluth and Bernard Pshoter, was instrumental in bringing a Red Cross Blood Mobile unit to Yeshiva. Another project of SAC, the Book Exchange, met with such success that it was made a part of the Co-op Stores. At present, A Student Guide Book and a Student Directory are being prepared under SAC auspices. Israel Philatelic Society In the few months of its existence, the Israeli Philatelic Society has already outlined ambitious projects for itself. The most prominent among these was an all-day exhibition of Israeli stamps in May at which time the group was chartered as a chapter of the Society of Israeli Philatelists, an honorary stamp organization. The first issue of the Society ' s official bulletin, Studies in Israeli Philately, was distributed at the exhibition. The officers of the Society are Jack Reiner, presi- dent, and Alvin Weisbrod, vice-president. Dr. Alex- ander Litman, Professor of Philosophy, is faculty adviser. Sooted, . (o r.: Morion Schulmon, Y. U. Drive Choirmon- 1953; Irwin Shapiro, Choirman-1952; standing: Moriholl Korn; Daniel Bonchek, SAC Choirmon; Otio Nowmon. Y.U. Drive The 1953 Y. U. Drive for Charities went beyond all expectations as it exceeded its goal of $4,500 by over two hundred dollars. The chairman of the Drive was Morton Shulman. His co-chairmen were: Isaac Goodman, Abraham Kramer, Benjamin Lerner, and Fishel Pearlmutter. Each Yeshiva and Teachers Institute class had a representative who collected the quota of two dol- lars per student. Twenty classes fulfilled their quotas. The faculty and graduate school students were also solicited. As in the past, the funds were distributed to the United Jewish Appeal (35%), P ' eylim (35%), and Tashbor (30%). I. to r.: C. Freundlich M. Narrowe, E. Levlne, A. Sodden, Coach Bernord Sarachek, R. Schucholter. For the first time in several years, the Mighty Mites of Yeshiva basketball emerged from a hoop season as a winning ball club, maintaining a split record of ten victories and as many losses. The 1952-1953 basketball season was highlighted by tears and cheers, surprising upsets, and the phe- nomenal play of many. Marvin Hershkowitz, the Pride of Yeshiva, in his last year as a Mite, continued his record-breaking feats by smashing the career- scoring record of 920 points set by Marvin Freedman. There was no stopping for Hershkowitz, and on Feb- ruary 21, while Yeshiva was falling before the Panzer Panthers, Hershkowitz was adding more laurels to his name by becoming the first Mite in Yeshiva history to attain the golden mark of one thousand points scored over a four year period. Coach Bernard Red Sarachek plauded Marvin Hershkowitz as a credit to Yeshiva University, a fine gentleman, and one of the greatest ball players I have ever coached. During the annual road trip to Pennsylvania, Yeshiva suffered a disastrous blow at the hands of Lycoming College of Williamsport. The following evening, what should have been a tired and down- hearted Yeshiva quintet went on to register one of Marvin Hershkowitz Capfain Basketball its biggest upsets in years by defeating top-rated Kings College of Wilkes-Barre, 58-55 — and this was a team that had met such major competition as lona, Villanova, and Seton Hall, this year ' s National Invitation champs. With his outstanding rebounding play, Abe Sod- den, 6 ' 4 freshman center, contributed greatly to the success of the season. The fast-moving combination of Allen Gev irtz, Eli Levine and Mort Narrowe, gave the Blue and White important upsets over Panzer, Bloomfleld, Pace, New York State Maritime, and Kings. Jay Citron, Leon Green, and Josh Taragin, provided a great deal of spark and hustle for the Heighters, with much well-deserved credit going to the fine coaching assistance of Yeshiva ' s all-time great, Arthur Stein. A satisfying glance at Yeshiva ' s future squad was supplied by the impressive showing of reserves Jonah Kupietsky, Sam Cohen, Fred Anis- feld and Alex Steinkoler.

Starting from scratch. Coach Arthur Tauber, himself a champion college fencer, has managed to build up a team which now boasts a cumulative record of 17 wins and only 4 losses. Brushed off at first as only a passing fad which would not last, the Yeshiva fencers surprised every- body and showed that the white-clad oddities really meant business. Many hard hours of applica- tion to learn the rudiments of the game finally paid off for the determined crew. The large crowds at both home and away matches offer proof that the fencers hove finally made their mark. Perhaps more impressive than anything else is the fine espr 7 de corps which exists among the team members. The three weapon fencing squad was co-captained this year by Eugene Tokayer and Norman Toporov- sky. Both are members of the sabre team which has remained undefeated for two years. The members of the Varsity include: Foil — Bill Millen, Howard Spear, Herbert Panitch, Seymour Greenfield, Sidney Ingber, Sidney Berger, and Mar- shall Korn; Epee — David Mostofsky, Neil Hecht, Fred Klein, Barnet Liebermon, Ori Schonthal, Wallace Chamides, and Joseph Mogilner; Sabre — Norman Toporovsky, Herbert Rosenberg, Norman Tokayer, Eugene Tokayer, and Martin Greenhut.

The team made progress in other direc- tions as it acquired uniforms and other necessary equipment. In addition, the booters were able to move out of the gymnasium into more suitable practice grounds. Flushed with these strides of progress the dauntless team tackled such stiff metropolitan competition as Fordham, Long Island University, and Maritime Col- lege. Although they failed to win a single contest, the neophytes played (heir hearts out, and, with very few graduates among their members, they look for- ward to a banner season next year. In addition to Sidney Ingber, the colorful goal- keeper, the team consisted of Mickey Orlian, Teddy Treitel, Peachy Grunbaum, Ervin Birnbaum, Moshe Weiss, Bernard Puchowitz, Joe Holstein, Joe Levine, Isaac Shertz, Leon Schoenholz, and Seymour Stein- metz. The team was coached by Gus Meyer. Leon Wildes was squad manager. The team plans to join the Inter-collegiate Soccer League next season and hopes to make soccer one of the more popular athletic activities at Yeshiva. Yeshiva University ' s tennis team, another bright spot in this year ' s sports activities at Yeshiva, finally came up to the big-time level in collegiate circles. Win or lose, the Netmen played hard and deliberate ball, meeting such major competition as Columbia, lona. Queens, New York State Maritime, St. Johns, and West Point. The highlight of the year was a trip to play the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, on April 15. The tennis squad was led on a tour of the Point, and received an interesting taste of fine military courtesy. The hard fought contest, watched by a large group of cheering Cadets, had in it every conceivable type of college spirit, which added much to the success of the day. Coached for the second consecutive year by the famous tennis pro, Eli Epstein, the Racket Squad was led by veterans Allen Gewirtz, Marv Gootkin, Eugene Horn, and Dave Lifschutz. Sam Silverstein, Leon Esterowitz, Sam April, Stan Rosenberg and Art Goolkin comprised the remainder of Yeshiva ' s tennis team. Aaron Borow was squod manager. Compliments of E.
