He looked out over the unending expanse of burned out tene- ments, bodegas, and car repair garages, until he spotted a brown monolith of a building jutting out of the grey asphalt. He motioned to the pilot. Why don ' t you set it down by that gigantic pile of books over there? he said, pointing. The pilot (YC ' 57) gave him a queer look. You mean the library, don ' t you? Oh, is that what it is? He shrugged. Looks like a pile of books to me . The pilot landed on the roof and the passen- ger got out. He was immediately surrounded by a gang of about twenty men, dressed only in shorts, their bodies glistening with sun tan oil. A radio blared somewhere. Where do you come off landing a copter while we ' re sunbathing? one of the group asked. The man ignored him. He turned to the others. Is this Yeshiva University? The group laughed. Museum tours are on Tuesdays only, buster , the first one said, spitting. The man turned. Look kid, I don ' t like your attitude, so beat it! Make me! The man swung at the boy ' s head. The youth ducked, pivoted, and grabbed the man ' s out- stretched arm. He pivoted again, pulling, and the man flew through the air, landing hard. He got up slowly and brushed himself off. Pretty good stuff. Where d ' ya learn it? The boy grinned. I ' m a member of the Karate Club, and the Wrestling Team . The man whistled, long and low. Boy, I ' ve got a lot to learn about Yeshiva U. . He sat in the president ' s office. Lamm sat at the head of the conference table, talking. He had been talking for 45 minutes. ... Now synthesis is a philosophical term which . . . He interrupted. Excuse me Dr. Lamm . Rabbi Lamm . Sorry, Rabbi Lamm, I . . . ' President Lamm . Whatever. Sir, I ' m a detective. I ' m not very interested in synthesis. Right now I ' m more inter- ested in finding out what is going on. If you can help me in any way . Help you! Rabbi Lamm shouted. How can we help you if you don ' t give us any information. You don ' t even know why you are here! How can we help you?! I found a note in my office. It had two letters on it, Y and U. I spent three weeks puzzling it out. I called Yale. I called Yugoslavia. Nothing. Then one night I get a phone call. All the voice says is: ' When it ' s cold you shiver ' . What does it mean? Lamm reached for his phone and said: Send in Tauber . A gigantic man strode into the office. The detective started to sweat. He had been in sim- ilar situations, but never exactly lil e this. The man ' s face — it was covered by a mesh metal mask. What it covered? — the detective didn ' t want to think about. Hey Lah! , Tauber said, saluting. Lamm quickly appraised him of the situation. When he got to the phrase: When it ' s cold you shiver , Tauber paled. Sounds like a fencer , he exclaimed. You mean, stolen goods? the detective asked. Tauber glared. No, I mean fencing, like epee, foil, saber . Oh. So that means that the caller was on the Fencing Team . But what does it mean? Lamm and Tauber both said at the same instant. They looked at each other. I don ' t know , the detective said, but I ' ll find out . The plan was simple. He would enter the school as an exchange student from Afranistan. This would enable him to blend into the student body, and to infiltrate deeply into the maze of Yeshiva College. But first he had to register. He entered the registrar ' s office. He saw people rushing back and forth, papers flying, phones ringing. He was amazed at the way the people were efficiently wasting time. After watch- ing for a few minutes, he tripped a hunched-over man carrying a tremendous stack of books. Look what you ' ve done now the man said, dusting himself off. Sorry, but I had to get your attention . But now we ' ll be delayed another three years. These catalogs must be dirt-free. They must . . . Look, I just want to register . The man got up slowly. He looked suspiciously at the detective. Register? But the semester has already start- ed . I have special permission from the Dean. I ' m an exchange student from Afranistan . Then he added wrily: My father is the crown prince . The man ' s eyes widened. He licked his lips, and started breathing quickly. Did you say Afranistan? Famous people, mon- ey, movie stars, money, swimming pools, money That ' s right , the detective said, pausing, and I ' m prepared to pay in full . . . cash! Desks, files, typewriters, secretaries were all dimly noted articles as the detective was plunged headlong Into a cramped office. The man was pulling him into a chair. On the office desk was a sign that read: THE BUCK PASSES HERE . My name is Edelstein. What ' s yours? Shabtai Tsvi Leinovich . I didn ' t know they had jews in Afranistan . Well, after the revolution the only books avail- able were old copies of Scholem ' s Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism , which sort of got us interested. I see Edelstein said, a perplexed look across his face, and have you already registered for Jewish Studies? No . Well, you have to decide if you ' re going into RIETS, JSS, or — Edelstein sniffed — EMC . The detective left the office and walked down the hallway. Out of the cornerof his eye he spied a uniformed guard approaching him. Excuse me sir, but what ' s the password? The detective smiled. Lamm had prepared him for this situation. Torah U ' mada , he said with confidence. The guard relaxed. I ' m sorry sir if I caused you any inconven- ience, you can go. We can ' t be too careful you know . He gave a confidential nod to the detec- tive. This neighborhood is full of them . Them? Undesirables — Communists, Liberals, Neo- Platonists, Existentialists. The whole bunch should be sent back where they came from. . Where ' s that? New Jersey. They breed ' em there and then send ' em over the G.W. into the city. They breed like rats . The detective mumbled something and quickly walked away. He came to a door marked JEWISH STUD- IES and opened it. Inside, three men stood in a semi-circle, facing him. One had coils of rope wrapped around him, and a sign hung from his neck which read My Hands Are Tied . By his feet rested a sign which read Join EMC now and win a free trip to Europe! . The second man was constantly blinking and scribbling furiously into a note pad. A sign next to him read: Take a load off your feets And Join up for RIETS The third man stood in perfect silence. A halo of light danced above his head, and ministering angels sang hoseannahs. By his feet an eph- emeral light shone, in the middle of which letters burned in white fire on top of black fire. They spelled out a message: Menei Menei Tekeil Ufarsin Can be explained by Rabbi Besdin. So join up now, don ' t be a fool. Stick with a winner, James Striar School. The detective thought it sounded like a school cheer. He stood looking at the three men, unable to decide. So he didn ' t. He walked into the office of the Dean of Ye- shiva College. The secretary was trying to type something, but she kept getting White-Out on the keys and couldn ' t tell which keys to press. The detective coughed and the secretary looked up. I ' m a new student. I ' d like to see the Dean . The secretary smiled. Which one? How many are there? he asked, afraid to hear the answer. In reply, the secretary stood up and walked over to a wall on which there was a poster that said: UNIVERSITY REORGANIZATION REORGANI- ZATION There are currently 53 deans the secretary began, smiling, which is interesting when you realize that the university employs only 48 secre- taries . She continued, These deans are in- volved in all aspects of the university. There is a Dean of Science, Dean of Humanities, Dean of Food, Dean of Parking, Dean of . . . The detective interrupted, But I need a request approved to waive my Jewish Studies requirement . What! the secretary screamed. The detective felt the building shake. That ' s never been re- quested before. You ' ll have to see . . . The Dean of Deans! She shuddered, then fainted. The detective decided he didn ' t want to wait around to meet this Dean of Deans. He could complete his registration later. He decided to go for a tour of the campus. He took the back entrance into the library. Maybe if he could read up on Yeshiva University he could get a clue as to why he was there. He went to the circulation desk. An elderly man stood behind the counter, soft- ly cursing beneath his breath. The detective asked if he could see a book on Yeshiva Univer- sity. The man shook his head. The detective asked if the book was currently circulating. The man shook his head. The detective asked if there was any reason why he could not see the book. The man shook his head, then spoke: If you ' d let me get a word in edgewise, I ' d tell you that we do have a book on Y.U. the man shook his head. But you shook your head ' No ' the detective protested. The man shook his head. I did not . The detective was getting a headache. He was learning an important lesson: Never ask ques- tions. But he was a detective, he had to ask questions. The old man was pulling him by the arm. Come with me, I have exactly what you want he said, winking at the detective. The old man opened a door covered with dust and cobwebs. They descended a spiral stair- case. The detective noticed that as they went farther down the walls began to get damp. Final- ly they stopped. The old man took out a flash- light and shone it ahead of them. The detective was astounded. They were standing in a cav- ernous room. Before them endless rows of books stretched out as far as the eye could see. The floor of the room was a lake! The old man got into a rowboat, motioning to the stunned detecitve to do likewise. As the old man rowed he explained: This is the heart of the library. We don ' t trust the students, so we keep the books down here. We have the largest library in the world, bigger than Harvard, The Vatican, the New York Public Library . . . And why are you showing it to me? inter- jected the passenger. Because you asked for a book on Y.U. In my forty years here no one, NO ONE, has asked for a book on Y.U. I knew it as soon as I saw you . . . You are The Messiah! ' The detective nearly fell overboard. He looked at the old man. Another loony , he thought, this place must get ' em wholesale . The old man had stopped rowing. I will get the book for you now, O ' most Holy One , he said, climbing out of the boat and onto the platform which supported the bookshelves. The detective waited until he disappeared into the recesses of the shelves, and the grabbed the oars. He rowed furiously. Wait! Come back! the old man shouted. Why are you going? Was it something I said?! But the detective didn ' t pause to answer. He reached the stairway and ran up out of the dungeon onto the main floor of the library . . . and into the arms of one of the biggest men he had ever seen. The giant threw him to the floor and snarled. Make one move and I ' ll squash you like an ant he hissed. The detective remained perfectly still and the giant continued: You ' ve been asking too many questions, mis- ter, and the Colonel doesn ' t like it. We also know you ' re a detective, and the Colonel doesn ' t like that, either! . The captive whispered I can explain . For a moment he thought he would be squashed. The giant ' s eyes burned with rage and his foot lower- ed menacingly. But then he relaxed. Okay , he said, you can explain to The Colonel. But ... , he grinned, it ' d better be good . The giant led him out of the library and across the street into a building which, for some strange reason, was called the ' morgue ' . Now the detec- tive knew why. The giants office was here Prob- ably eats students for breakfast , the detective thought. A woman, the giant ' s personal secretary, sat behind a desk, concentrating on slowly pulling the wings off of flies. Behind here, on the wall, was a chest of keys. The detective could only imagine how many dispicable dungeons were routinely opened and cast shut with those keys. The giant and his prisoner entered an inner office. The giant pushed a button beside the desk. Suddenly, a secret panel in the floor slid away, revealing a stairway. C ' mon, we ' ll take the secret passage , and he motioned the detective down. As they walked, the giant explained that the passageway wound under all the school ' s grounds, enabling him to sneak up on anyone, anywhere. He seemed proud of this tunnel. They traveled a while, the giant directing. They eventually reached an elevator. The giant pressed 17. The elevator opened onto a dark hallway, lit only by the green lights of humming computer terminals. This is our Security Center. Up here we can spot and trace a water balloon . Very impressive yawned the detective. And through this we can see if a student is making too much noise. The giant was pointing to an ultrasonic-infrared-telescope. The detective looked through the scope. He saw three cars being stolen, and a mugging. What are you doing about that? he asked. The giant shrugged. Nothing. As long as no building is threatened, we don ' t have to do anything. These buildings are valuable . But empty . In any case. The Colonel is waiting for you . The Colonel was a short man, who stood in the middle of a busy room, casually pistol whipp- ing a student. C ' mon, we have your prints on the plastic bag, and we have a witness from the super- market who saw you buy the bags , The Colonel screamed at the bold student. I didn ' t do it! Someone must have stolen my bags and used them in the water fight! smirked the lying waterbomber. We have ways of dealing with you. would another semester of Interscience you? The student winced. Or Intro to Sociology? The student shuddered. STOP IT! shouted the student, Alright, I admit it, I threw the water bombs! The student broke down sobbing. The Colonel smiled, gleefully rubbing his hands. The detective was truly impressed. How grab The Colonel now turned to the detective. Now, what can I do for you? I ' ve heard that you ' ve been asking plenty of questions. Just what is it that you want? The detective shook his head. Nothing , he stammered, I ' ve seen enough. Yeshiva University is a mystery that is better left unsolved. There are too many questions, and the answers aren ' t worth it . The Colonel nodded. Glad you see it our way . Then to the giant, Show the gentleman out . The detective sighed when he felt the warm afternoon sun on his face. He had only been at Y.U. for two days, and it felt like an eternity. But, , he thought, with all its strangeness, I kind of like the place. You gotta be special to come here . He strolled along Amsterdam Avenue, and saw an old lady sitting by a fence. She beckoned to him, and he approached her. She whispered this in his ear: Everyone who comes here has different rea- sons for doing so. Each must discover within himself the reason why he is here. You have come, guided by a slip of paper with two letters, Y and U. If you truly seek the solution to your riddle you will have to spend many days here. That is all I can tell you . She grabbed his arm as he started to rise. Give to the hospital in Israel, kinderlach , she said, hand extended, as she smiled a toothless smile.

The sacred idea embodied at the very core and soul of our institution, that of Torah V-Madda, has proven its viability in American society. This also places upon you a special responsibility to represent what we stand for, in the course of your professional and personal lives, with dignity and respect and loyalty.

Kurtzer May 21, 1979 To The Class of 1979 Yeshiva College celebrated its fiftieth anniversary this year; and, as occurs during most celebrations of this kind, much time was spent reflecting on the College ' s goals, achievements and aspirations. In particular, various symposia and speakers subjected the ideal of Torah u ' mada to analysis and interpretation. This is a significant venture for, despite its elusiveness, the mission of this university remains vitally important to the American and world Jewish communities. These activities have taken on particular significance in light of several institutional and community developments. Within YU, the academic administration has adopted the goal — a very difficult one -- of reorienting the university ' s priorities toward the undergraduate colleges. This has entailed several difficult financially based decisions. In the community at large, critical social and ethical problems have gone also either without resolution or have been resolved in a less than satisfactory manner. It appears that social and communal changes have outstripped the capacity of institutions to deal with the changes in ethical and moral ways. We are finding it increasingly more difficult to cope with basic definitions of life and death and with the religious and value questions associated with them. Thus YU ' s renewed and re invigorated commitment to the symbiosis between society and religion takes on added meaning in this period. We cannot fail to define our goals; and, we cannot but address the critical moral and ethical issues of the coming decade. Sincerel y. Daniel C. Kurtzer 35 CO E u r Dr. Ezra Levy — Assoc.

Cohen. There were some dazzling special events, as well as regular broadcasts of Student Council meetings and Varsity basketball games. On the music scene, shows ranged from classi- cal to progressive rock, from jazz to hebrew. With the aid of the Stern girls the station served both the Yeshiva College and Stern campuses. Because of the tireless efforts of DJs, electricians and technicians YUR ran much more smoothly than in previous years. ■ I l fX tii: M NO SMOKING c -■- .. .V P ' - _ :„ „ ... - f 140 [lEHnBf student councils ' - JSSSC Jerry Kaplan, Pres EMCSC: Phil Klapper, Pres. r! - SOY: Bumy Kaisman, Pres.

Yeah, tiiat ' s the tactory that turns out doctors, lawyers and rabbis. Sports? Well, back in the 50 ' s we had a ball- player who was almost drafted, and then in the 60 ' s a guy almost made the Maccabiah Team Okay, so no one has ever confused us with Notre Dame. But nevertheless, this was a very exciting year athletically, with Yeshiva fielding 51 2 varsity teams (sorry hockey) on the inter- collegiate level. Much of the credit goes to the new A.D. ( ' Athletic Director ' for you non-jocks) Dr. Arthur Tauber, who single-handedly has transformed Y.U. sports into a force to be reckoned with. We may not have been as big, as experienced or as well trained as our oppo- nents — but no one can say that we weren ' t competitive!

Some leadership and cohesive- ness was supplied by the predominantly rookie senior contingent but it wasn ' t always enough. Oh well — Columbia didn ' t make a post season tourney either! Once again big Dave Kufeld, Captain and Mainstay, led the team, captur- ing the collegiate rebounding crown. Yep — that ' s right — number one in the whole country. David and high scoring frosh Harvey Scheff combined to score 35 points per game. Credit must also go to power forward Chaim Gettenberg, who balanced out the front line. His muscle was very useful underneath and helped set up the big men for many easy layups. Moving to guard, Faivy and Duv comprised one of the fastest backcourts fielded by Yeshiva. Faivy making it look easy, broke every press thrown at us and was high man on the team in assists. Duv, in his customary hustling role, was the defensive specialist — spending a good deal of his time drawing charging fouls and landing on the floor. Unfortunately, swingman Lenny Schwartz- baum, 4 year Varsity veteran and Captain of the Macs, was lost early on in the season because of an ankle injury. His presence was sorely missed, but he did come back in time to spark the seniors intramural squad.

What are those guys trying to do? — Pretty soon we ' re going to start attracting prospects, then we ' ll go out and actively recruit; that leads to a big time athletic program, and then . . . what ' s to distinguish us from UCLA? Coaches Tauber and Marcel, despite losing six starters (and one mascot), surprised everyone by maintaining their winning tradition. Co-captain Mark Taragin, who placed 4th in an NCAA quali- fying meet, exemplified the spirit and toughness of the Taubermen. Marv Huberman and Baruch Deutch filled out Sabre, which had a superb 73- 31 season. This somewhat made up for the lack- luster performance of Foil (with Epee not far behind) who kept all their matches close. Still, Co-captain Ira Herman, David Katzenstein and Marty Ast did fence solidly. And special recogni- tion is merited by Ben Kurtzer, who with just one year of fencing managed to run up quite an impressive record.

One could really sense the enthusiasm, with all that banging and jum- ping, and the crowd yelling crossface , table , and the ever popular shoot the leg ! Injuries unfortunately decimated the team, as three starters — Captain Izzy Klein, Arnie Rogoff and Alan Bell — were desparately missed. But the wrestlers, al- ways tough as nails (just how tough are nails?) managed to salvage a 4-2 season — and without even breaking double figures In pins! They were led by the tenacious wrestling of Captain Saul Grife who put in much hard work and effort during his four years sojourn. This season also marked the first out of state road trip (a smashing victory over highly touted Del. State) and the initiation of a new coaching staff. And finally, who will ever forget the brutal wres- tling of Bugsy, Mugsy, Danny and Freddy, the heart of this persistent squad. Team Statistics Y.U. Opponent 32 Bronx Comm.

The event was a historic moment in the an- nals of American Jewish life, and it was the fulfill- ment of a dream of its founder and first president. Dr. Bernard Revel, and the small group of commu- nity leaders who supported him. Dr. Revel ' s vision was the creation of the na- tion ' s first liberal arts college under Jewish aus- pices. The school, in his words, would educate stu- dents liberally as well as Jewishly. The College would incorporate the best of two great educational systems, the yeshiva and the university, into a unique institution. Save for the inclusion of the Bi- ble, Hebrew language, Jewish history, philosophy, and ethics as required subjects, the curriculum will differ little from that of other colleges, Dr. Revel wrote in an article entitled ' Aims of the Yeshiva. ' It is rather in its aim and its possible ultimate contri- bution that Yeshiva College differs from general in- stitutions of higher learning. Opposition and Support The idea of synthesis of Judaic learning with liberal arts in a college setting was a novel one, and it raised widespread reaction, both good and bad, throughout the Jewish and educational communi- ties. Many barriers and obstacles had to be over- come before Dr. Revel ' s hopes became reality. There were secularists and socialists who opposed what they viewed as the spread of Orthodoxy, and who saw the project as an unreasonable financial burden on the Jewish community. In March 1925, several months after the begin- ning of the College ' s capital fund drive for the new Washington Heights campus, an editorial entitled Starvation in the Ukraine and $5,000,000 Yeshiva in New York appeared in the pro-Soviet Yiddish newspaper. New Wahrheit. The paper said, upon ' the early years, noting that the outlook was dim during the Depression, and the financial picture of this institution the brainless philanthropists want to squander millions that would be the saving of four million of our unfortunate brethren in Ukrainia . . . It is high time that the Jews of New York should stop and consider who their leaders are, and whither they are being led. There were those who felt the College would iso- late Jews from the rest of the American communi- ty. The American Israelite, a Reform Jewish paper published in Cincinnati, declared the movement is unwise, un-American, and, above all, un- Jewish. Among the most outspoken critics was Louis Marshall, the noted lawyer and communal leader. Solicited to aid the College building campaign, he refused, saying that the students in the school would not even have the opportunity to learn how to speak English with accuracy. Such a college would be nothing more than a Ghetto institution. In a letter widely circulated in the Anglo-Jewish press, Marshall said, a wall of difference is created by those who acquire their secular education and religious training in such an institution and the out- side world, and those who are graduated under Dr. Bernard Revel, founder and first president of Yeshiva College. 166 such conditions are apt to be deprived of the most valuable part of college or university training, that of contact with men of varying opinions. However, Dr. Revel found support from the lay leadership of RIETS, of which he was president, in the Orthodox Jewish community, and among prominent educators nationwide. Among the staunch supporters were Harry Fischel, Louis Gold, Mendel Gottesman, Nathan Lamport, Samuel Levy, Pinchas Lieberman, Rabbi Moses S. Margolies, Nathan Roggen, Judge Otto A. Rosalsky, Harris L. Selig, Meyer Vessel, and Ben- jamin Winter. The Agudat Harabanim and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of Ameri- ca hailed the project as marking the successful ar- rival of Orthodoxy in the mainstream of American Jewry. Letters of praise and endorsement streamed in from leading college and university presidents, including Frank Aydelotte, Swarthmore College: Lowe Bryant, University of Indiana; Nicholas Murray Butler, Columbia University; Henry McCracken, Vassar College; Fredrick Robinson, City College of New York; Walter Dill Scott, Northwestern University; Dean G. F. Kay, College of Liberal Arts, Iowa University; Provost J. H. Penniman, University of Pennsylvania; and Roy Lyman Wilbur, Stanford University. In January 1926, while Dr. Revel proceeded to formulate the curriculum and gather the faculty, construction of the original Main Building (now Joseph and Faye Tanenbaum Hall) began, with the cornerstone laying ceremony taking place on May 1, 1927. The crowd that gathered that Sunday was enormous; newspaper estimates ranged between 10,000 and 30,000. Among the many congratula- tory messages Dr. Revel received was one from U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. The Jews of America, the president ' s letter read, through the increased advantages at the disposal of the Yeshiva, will be able to broaden their field for the training of scholars and religious leaders for their people. This is of importance, not only for them, but to our national life as a whole. Until the new building was completed, classes met in The Jewish Center. The 35 students were primarily graduates of the Talmudical Academy, now known as Yeshiva University High School for Boys — Manhattan. They were greeted by 10 full- The cornerstone ceremonyfor the original Main Building (now Joseph and Fa ;e Tanenbaum Hall.) 167 V.

The basic curriculum was divided into six areas of instruction: classical languages and civili- zation; modern foreign languages and literature; mathematics and natural sciences; history and social sciences; philosophy and ethics; and Jewish and Semitic studies. The program of study was well defined, with only a few options for elective courses; there were no majors as they now exist. Tuition for the year, including all fees, was $300. Dedication ceremonies for the new building were held appropriately on Hanukkah, December 9, 1928. The next day RIETS and Yeshiva College moved into their new home. Washington Heights in 1928 was more suburban than urban. The IND subway line had not yet been completed, and the area was dominated by private homes. Sunday was activity day for New Yorkers The new Washington Heights campus was dedicated on the second day of hianukkah, 1928. 168 r A who used the Amsterdam Ave. trolley to visit the green areas and to enjoy the playland at the tip of Amsterdam Ave. The first years of YC coincided with the Depres- sion, and the school, never blessed with a large en- dowment, was hit by financial crisis. Heavy mort- gage payments had to be met, and land that had been set aside for future building some years later was lost to foreclosures. Through much devotion and sacrifice the school survived. The First Graduation On June 16, 1932, the first commencement exer- cises were held in Nathan Lamport Auditorium. The first graduating class was made up of 19 students from seven states. One third of the group was from outside metropolitan New York City, from as far away as Portland, Maine, Los Angeles, and Seattle. The editor of Masmid, now national director emeritus of Torah Umesorah, Joseph Kaminetsky, wrote in the yearbook a feeling that must have been prevalent that day: We have been pioneers togeth- er in a great educational endeavor of our people; we have striven these years to reach a common goal, to realize the same idea: the harmonization of secular learning with our own Jewish culture. Yeshiva College Today On May 15, 1927, an article entitled Can Yeshiva College Save Orthodoxy appeared in a Chicago newspaper. It concluded with these words: It is an interesting experiment, this attempt to harmonize Judaism with modern thought. Can it succeed ful- Iv? Time will tell. Today, as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, Yeshiva College is no longer an interesting experi- ment ; it is the realization of a dream envisioned by its founders. The school has grown from 35 stu- dents to 940; from 10 full-time and five part-time faculty to 192 full-time and 98 part-time: from six areas of study to 30; and it has graduated 4,978 students. YC ' s alumni are without doubt its greatest resource. During its 50 year history, the College has produced an outstanding cadre of alumni whose presence across the nation is felt in every major Jewish organization, in the rabbinate, the sciences, government, the social sciences, busi- ness, and industry— as well as many fields in Israel. A survey of major Jewish day schools and yeshivot throughout America would reveal a virtual Who ' s Who of YC alumni in key administrative and teaching posts. Similarly, it is imposible to speak of the Jewish community ' s foremost leadership with- out mentioning Yeshiva College. Yeshiva College began as a pioneer and con- tinues as such, unique among schools of higher learning. It is this uniqueness that will determine its future. As it moves into its sixth decade, YC has rededicated itself to the ideals upon which it was founded, and expanded its educational boundaries to encompass the ever-broadening needs of its students. The Great Experiment continues. In the words of President Lamm, we shall experiment and revise and improve until we have found the best formula to provide you with both the foundations of a career and that intellectual sensitivity that will make you well-rounded, informed men of culture. f f i M t t t Historic Class: The 19 members of YC ' s first graduating class in 1932.

Here are their replies. Rabbi Aaron Sadowsky was born in Timkowitz, a small town in White Russia, in 1904. He studied at Yeshivas Chafetz Chaim of Radin, at Yeshivas Kapula, and at Yeshivas Slutzk. He emigrated to America in 1922, and immediately entered Yeshivas Rabbeinu YItzchak Elchanan, then situated on East Broadway in Manhattan. The yeshiva supported him, as it did many others, with stipends, and even with new clothes at Holidays. Rabbi Sadowsky graduated the City College of New York in 1930. In 1932 he became the rabbi of Congregation Beth Isaac in Baltimore, Md., a position he held until the outbreak of World War II. At that time he moved to South Carolina, serving as a military chaplain. After the war Rabbi Sadowsky returned to Baltimore, to serve his congregation for twenty-two years. In 1966, Rabbi Sadowsky moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., where he continues to teach. Rabbi Sadowsky writes: The Yeshiva University, also called Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, was a great Jewish Orthodox institution of learning even fifty years ago, during the days of my study at the yeshiva (1922-29). Orthodox Jewish young men flocked to it ' s doors from many parts of the United States. This yeshiva was, I believe, the first modern Orthodox yeshiva on American soil. It had a faculty of the best Talmudic scholars, who all came here from Europe, who studied at the great European yeshivas, and were anchored in the great traditional spirit of those yeshivas. In addition to the religious studies which were taught in the first half of the day, there was a four year course of high school for secular knowledges in English. Thus there was founded the first synthesis Orthodox Jewish School of Learning. For this was the motto of Rabbi Dr. Bernard Revel of blessed memory, that the Yeshiva should prepare Jewish leaders for Orthodox Jewry that could compete with their opposing colleagues of the Reform and Conservative Movements. Most of the students, if not all, came from the immigrant Orthodox Jewish Community, who still remembered their glorious Jewish past and hence craved that their children follow them in the right step of Jewish tradition. The Yeshiva was the right place for them. It was in effect not an American Yeshiva but a traditional Yeshiva transported from Europe to the American soil. As far as I can remember the students of the Yeshiva did follow the recreation of the American secular schools, and they organized teams to play baseball, but mostly soccer, in Van Cortland park. But I don ' t think that our teams went out to play against teams of other schools. We were not as yet so Americanized. But within the walls of the school, we had at one time a Hebrew speaking club which led to the publishing of a student paper in Hebrew and in English called Hedenu. I was privileged to be editor-in-chief of this paper. The articles of Hedenu , written mostly by the older students of Yeshiva, were sometimes controversial, and in effect at one time one of the writers of Hedenu sharply criticized the management of the Yeshiva and also held up to criticism one of the great supporters of the Yeshiva. There followed a kind of rebellion in the Yeshiva. But the commotion was settled and calmed down quickly by Dr. Revel, z l, and everything was again smooth. It was in effect not an American Yeshiva, but a traditional Yeshiva transported from Europe to the American soil It is interesting to remark that in my time practically all the graduating rabbis of the Yeshiva came from Europe, as I did, and absorbed most of their Talmudic knowledge at the European Yeshivas, as American Jewry was still too young to produce talmudic scholars. But the Yeshiva did not stand still and in my graduating class of 41 rabbis, there were already some that were American born. And thus the Yeshiva grew by leaps and bounds until it opened the first Yeshiva College under Orthodox Jewish supervision. Until 1929, all the students who went to college attended mostly the City College of New York and it ' s branches. But when the Yeshiva College opened, there was jubilation and hope that the students would have their own Jewish College, and would not have to wander somewhere else. As I was a graduating rabbi of 1929, not only did I have the privilege of having my rabbinical graduation at the new Yeshiva College building, but, thank G-d, my sons studied at the Yeshiva later and both graduated as rabbis and as graduates from the Yeshiva College. Rabbi Bernstein writes: The Masmid ' s editor ' s request to draw comparisons between Yehsiva University today and as I knew it as a student at Yeshiva College and the Teachers Institute, the forerunner of Erna Michael College, seemed to be, at first, a relatively easy one to comply with. On reflection, however, the definition of the essential differences, as well as the common denomenator have proven to be elusive and even difficult. In 1947, I knew every student in my class, almost every student in the college, most of the members of the faculty, staff, and administration-from Charley Mayo, who was responsible for cleaning the Commentator office on the Rabbi Dr. Louis Bernstein is a graduate of MTA ( ' 43), YC ( ' 47), Tl ( ' 47), RIETS ( ' 50) and Bernard Revel ( ' 77). Along with teaching at EMC and Yeshiva College, he is the rabbi of the Young Israel of Windsor Park in Queens, N.Y. Among the many positions he has held are the Presidency of the Rabbinical Council of America and Presidency of the Religious Zionists of America. He lives in Queens with his wife Pearl and their four children. fourth floor, to the dean and president. There was a sense of an extended family that touched almost every person connected with Yeshiva and the bonds to the institution were deep, personal and intimate. The college faculty was almost as deeply committed to the yeshiva as were the roshei yeshiva and Teachers Institute instructors. Many of them remained with the institution until the very end of their days or teaching careers. Although in 1947 yeshiva ' s financial position was improving, many of the faculty had stood by the college during the darkest and bleakest days of the depression. The yeshiva ' s responsibility for the student was more than academic. Almost all the students were on some kind of scholarship. Before the holidays, suits were provided for the needy. Food stipends were distributed generously as administration and student leaders took the initiative in extending such aid. Of course, as from the very beginning of time, there were differences between the various components of the school. I had more than my share of difficulties as editor of The Commentator. But these were family disputes and we resented outside pressures or intervention. Senior students felt a direct responsibility for yeshiva ' s welfare and frequently cooperated in fund raising activities. While a sense of mission and concern for yeshiva molded this ambience, the relative smallness of the school was an important factor. The much larger student body of today, scattered through several buildings can not experience the intimacy of the smaller classes where all activities including high school, libraries, labs, dormitory, and dining room were pressed into the main building and the adjoining Riets Hall. Yeshiva was just beginning to grow then and some of the offices and graduate school classes were transferred to two prefabricated buildings obtained from government surplus. They crowded against both sides of a power generator for trolley cars on Amsterdam Avenue on the site where the library now stands. Students and faculty travelled the subways then and the A train and the walk up the hill frequently cemented classroom relationships. The student of today is more professional minded. To the best of my knowledge, only one of my classmates is a physician and he entered medical school after he was ordained. A higher percentage of students considered the rabbinate and cognate professions as a career. Subsequently, there was a higher level of Jewish interest. Almost every Yeshiva College student marched in a protest parade in 1946 against the British in Palestine. It was the first of its kind for yeshiva students and it required a mass cut because the dean of the college adamantly refused to grant permission to attend. The Yeshiva College student of today is more affluent than his predecessor three and four decades ago. We had many more history and philosophy majors but much less courses to choose from. We, too, had one man departments but we did not view that as a particular The much larger student body of today, scattered through several buildings, can not experience the intimacy of the smaller classes where all activities including high school, libraries, labs, dormitory, and dining room were pressed into the main building and the adjoining Riets Hall. disadvantage. There were no P or F courses and unlimited cuts was still an idea whose time had not arrived. It was a hungrier generation and students would think twice before spending their parents ' hard earned money in a movie instead of a class. Students today are more part of the American culture than we were. We were first and at most second generation Americans and today they are mostly fourth. Students today travel more widely. Many a Yeshiva College student has been in Israel (then still a dream) and, on the way home, managed to stop in Europe. It is not uncommon for students to winter vacation in Miami and during these last two years they have joined the crowd in the Carribean Islands. These are educational experiences which our generation could not even dare contemplate. I think our Y.U. student today is at least as observant if not more so than our generation. Even in 1947, some of our students defected to the Jewish Theological Seminary and one of my classmates is even a professor at the Hebrew Institute of Religion. Today, such switches are rare. The fact that many of our graduates have joined the faculty and administration has proven to be a very positive factor. Yeshiva University is a unique institution and whatever negative considerations such inbreeding may have in the general academic world, for yeshiva it is a boon and blessing. Whereas we debated whether synthesis was possible in America, the success of Yeshiva University is manifested in its graduates. The development of the professional schools has added new dimensions, new challenges. The student today must meet the challenges of growth which tend to osbcure the mission. They can expect little or no help from the secular faculty far removed from its goals and an administration struggling to meet the ravages of inflation and inevitable bureaucratic incompetency. There is no doubt in my mind, however, that the students of today and tomorrow will meet that challenge. 171 Dr. Bernard Zazula attended Yeshiva College from 1957 to 1961, before attending the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He has served as Director of the New York City Bureau for Handicapped Children, as N.Y.C. Department of Health Public Health Director, and as a United States Armed Forces Physician in Vietnam. In addition. Dr. Zazula served for two and-a-half years as Medical Health Officer In Jerusalem for the Israeli Ministry of Health. He lives in New York with his wife and two children. ' Zaz ' Zazula in ' 61 Dr. Zazula writes: . . . reflections on Yeshiva. In preparation for this assignment , I re-read Masmid 1961, and think that two quotes from that volume answer the questions posed. The first describes student concerns and interests: ... The Commentator settled down to its avowed task of the year — that of arousing the student body and the Administration to the dire need of improving the curriculum in the religious divisions of the University. In an editorial entitled With Malice Towards None , these divisions were scored on their failure to provide an adequate spiritual guidance program for the students and different plans were suggested. Unfortunately, although the editorial provoked wide controversy, not much was done this year to further this goal. In other fields of news reporting the students were kept abreast of the latest developments. Features included . . . articles on problems confronting the student body, such as penalties for overcutting and the bechina system, as well as the regular features containing a timely peg. A three-part series on Synthesis was printed and a regular column by the editor-in-chief was reinstated. The sports staff spotlighted various members of the athletic team, and to further the cause of Zionism at Yeshiva an article on Israel was included in every issue. Sound familiar? In reading the April and May 1979 editions of Commentator, I too had a sense of Deja Vu: New Dean, controversy over an accounting business major, dissatisfaction with the pre-med major, concern over the effects of Yeshiva ' s graduate schools on the College, the status of Yom Haatzmaut, etc. As the saying goes; ' Nothing new under the sun. ' Where did we think Yeshiva was heading? The second quote is from Masmid 61 ' s epilouge: As we leave Yeshiva, ready to go along our many ways, the University is in the throes of a massive building program. Across the street from the new dorm, now beginning to wax ancient, a new building is rising — a classroom-administration building ready to house the planner of future undertakings. And in midtown, plans are being prepared for other edifices to house an evergrowing student body. And so it goes on and on, the same old story of expansion and progress. But for what purpose? Is it just to increase Yeshiva ' s prestige, and through it that of American Jewry, in the academic community? When Yeshiva expands, it does so with a purpose. Progress is important in any institution, but here at Yeshiva it is progress rooted in tradition that counts. MASMID ' 61 Perhaps this is what some people are hoping for — another Harvard out of a divinity school, with no religious division to speak of. But this is not Yeshiva ' s purpose, nor that of its administrators . . . And while the JSP student (JSP: Present day JSS — Ed.) and many of his fellow comrades in the other religious divisions may still not be able to understand the synthesis that is Yeshiva University — a University that requires the learning of Talmud as well as secular science — it is there. It exists in every individual. When Yeshiva expands, it does so with a purpose. Progress is important in any institution, but here at Yeshiva it is progress rooted in tradition that counts. Somewhat naive? Maybe — at the time. But looking back with a perspective of eighteen years, and having recently taught at the college for a number of semesters, I truly feel that it is precisely this undefinable synthesis which sets Yeshiva apart and somehow, despite ourselves — and the administration — manages to permeate and influence our lives and futures. Mr. Ribner writes: While the nation ' s college campuses rumbled with protest during the 60 ' s, we at Yeshiva were becoming increasingly self conscious about our calm, almost untouched oasis smack in the core of the Big Apple. It felt almost as if the rest of the academic world had somehow managed to thrust itself into a position of national import and all we could muster was the energy to watch the proceedings on television. During the years when Viet Nam became the knee jerk expression of all that was venal and corrupt in government, 80% of our student body signed a petition supporting fully the administration ' s Far East policy, under the impression, misguided by hindsight only, that we would thereby insure a favorable Mideast policy from those same national leaders. Those students 172 David Ribner is cretainly no newcomer to the Yeshiva scene, having graduated Yeshiva College in 1968, been ordained by RIETS in 1972, and graduated from the Bernard Revel Graduate School in 1972 and the Wurzweiller School of Social Work in 1974. He served as the spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Tefillah in Paramus, N.J. from 1971-74, and is currently Clinic Director at the South Beach Psychiatric Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and child. who sincerely opposed the war were held to be at best the disloyal opposition. The single international, and for us, personal issue which should have galvanized the campus into united action was the Six Day War in 1967. Unfortunately, what little response we could muster was limited to participation in those demonstrations organized by the Jewish umbrella groups. We thousand men of Yeshiva College distinguished ourselves by being indistinguishable from anyone else. Again a few students followed the dictates of conscience and, ignoring the perils of missed exams and poor grades, chose the greater peril of going to Israel during the conflict. We admired them, but only from afar. So much for our soberly reasoned and ethically motivated activist response to the international scene. Internally, we conducted ourselves in much the same way as had Yeshiva students for the past several decades. Our own paper chase continued to dominate all other activities, particularly for the majority of the classes who had chosen to aim for careers in law or medicine. We perceived the academic quality of the institution to lie somewhere between good and mediocre, certainly not excellent, but occasionally inspired by a particularly successful faculty member. By and large, the graduate schools still looked favorably upon Yeshiva College students, and all of us took for granted that an undergraduate degree held little intrinsic value. We comforted ourselves with the thought that the long days of interminable lectures would enable us to handle any future educational endeavor. If an area of general dissatisfaction existed, it focused on the almost unconscienably poor choice and level of Jewishly oriented courses, such as Bible, History and Philosophy. Bible courses which stressed translation. History courses which differed little from those taught in high school and Philosophy courses in which notes from To most of us Yeshiva College represented, and perhaps still does, the essence of undeveloped potential on which the future of American and possible world Jewry precariously balances. previous years were used by so many students, secure in the knowledge that few significant changes in course content would be forthcoming. We grumbled, some of us even found our ignorance embarrassing, but we never pressed for change. Revamped courses would have meant the risk of more work and lower marks — why blow a sure thing? Those of us who cared or thought about the future of the college tended to leave graduation convinced that, with rare exceptions, things would remain the same. Classes were growing, buildings were rising, the budget crisis had yet to reveal itself, at least to the public. Some lenthening of sideburns represented the only manifestation of countercultural inroads, both physically and philosophically. Few of us left with warm regard for the Yeshiva, and of those graduates with whom I maintain contact, few have developed positive feelings in the interim. To most of us Yeshiva College represented, and perhaps still does, the essence of undeveloped potential on which the future of American and possible world Jewry precariously balances. Such a situation is both frightening and depressing and will change only when the class of ' 68, the class of ' 79 and all other graduating classes initiate the concerned involvement the college has so long needed.
