THE DREAM CONCRETE was a dream: the dozen Jewish laborers of the lower East Side of New York, who in September of 1886 founded Yeshiva Etz Chaim, could not have foreseen the university they were spawning. They wanted only to teach their children Torah while giving them as good a secular education as they were able MASMID • 1968 YESHIVA UNIVERSITY Amsterdam Avenue and 186th Street New York, New York Ivan Michael Schaeffer Editor-in-Chief Martin C.

It was another dream; the scope of Yeshiva Etz Chaim was not broad enough. A single class, which was being held in a private house, was developed into a yeshiva to satisfy the needs of the high school and college age student. They called it Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. A t the new school there were ney dreamers, dreamers who wanted tp combine secular and religious education. To many this new idea was too radical a departure from tradition; while to others, including the students, the idea was seen as a necessity. In 1908 a committee was established to develop a curriculum of secular studies in order to produce devout and observant rabbis . . . equipped with the knowledge of the times. Yeshiva Etz Chaim and the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, both founded in the same synagogue by the same rabbi, shared administration, faculty, and facilities. In fact they were suffering from a dearth of duplication. In 1915 the two schools merged, and Dr. Bernard Revel became president.
