POSTORIAL
Notable Anniversaries
Science in Israel and its well-wishers throughout tffte world,
more especially in the U.S.A., have been celebrating three im-
portant anniversaries these past few weeks. The Weizmann In-
stitute of Science marked the twentieth year since its founding
group was set up in New York and the fifteenth year since the
-first edifice, devoted to physical chemistry, was dedicated by Dr.
Chaim Weizmann. And, to complete the notable trio of events,
an eminent American Jew whose name is indissolubly linked with
that great Israeli institution has just observed his seventieth birth-
day: Meyer W. Wersgal, Chairman of the Weizmann Institute’s
Executive Council; and the man principally responsibile for mo-
bilizing the financial means necessary to create what in less than
two decades has become one of the world’s foremost research
centers.
With rare prescience Dr. Weizmann, himself a scientist of
international stature, constantly preached the credo that the
evolving new society in the Jewish homeland required a sound
basis of scientific inquiry and application so as to be able to take
its place among the advanced countries of the world. In 1934 he
had initiated the Daniel Sieff Research Institute with the aid of
Anglo-Jewish friends as an instrument to further Eretz-Israel’s
agricultural and industrial development, thus providing the firm
foundation on which the structure of renascent Jewish statehood
would be erected on its own sovereign soil. The Weizmann In-
stitute emerged as the logical extension of that first undertaking
in organized scientific research.
Events have more than proved the validity of Dr. Weiz-
mann’s concept of the need for scientific standards in the build-
ing of the independent state of Israel. Today the Institute of
Science that enshrines his memory, and that perpetuates the
values which he always upheld as the mandate for his people, has
come into the forefront of the world of science. Many of its
four hundred scientists and researchers have gained international
recognition for their work in the fields of biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics. Their complete research papers are pub-
lished in the world’s leading professional journals. Scores of them*
serve on the councils and advisory panels of world organizations
dealing with t)he betterment of human welfare. The name of the
Weizman Institute has become synonymous with the highest
standards of free intellectual inquiry in contemporary civilization.
It is therefore fitting that the anniversary celebration of this
famed institution, and the seventieth birthday of the indefatigable
American Jew and dedicated visionary, Meyer W. Weisgal, to
whom it owes so much for his unremitting efforts in making it
all possible should be hailed as among the milestones of current
history. Today the Weizmann Institute symbolizes all that is best
in Israeli science and intellectual leadership in the eyes of the
>yorld at large, and its watchword might well be: Pride in the
past, faith in the present and hope in the future.__

American Jewish community ag-
ainst threats of assimilation
through intermarriage.
The program was the result
of a two-day conference held
under sponsorship of the Com-
mission on Synagogue Rela-
tions of the Federation of Jew-
ish Philanthropies of New York.
The conference recommended:
► Establishment of an Insti-
tute on Intermarriage to study
the problem, which was reported
as particularly acute on college
campuses.
► Establishment of counseling
centers on personal problems and
Judaism, “to bring desperately
needed guidance to those on the
periphery of Jewish life, who
have no access to existing agen-
cies.”
Pooling of the resources
adults as well as children.
► The convening of a mere
broadly based conference on in-
termarriage.
Dr. Nathan Goldberg, professor
of sociology at Yeshiva' Univer-
sity, presented demographic data
showing that the rate of inter-
marriage is mounting, “corres-
ponding with the acculturation
process and the passing of the
Jewish immigrant generation.”
Bernard Resnikoff, director
of Ramah Camp, said lhat Jew-
ish social workers point out to
clients contemplating iutermar
riage the consequences of such
a step, and inform them of
the growing evidence that mix-
ed marriage has less likelihood
of success than intrafaith mar-
riage.
The proposal for the establish-
ment of an Institute on Inter-
marriage was made by Dr. Robert
Texas Jewish Post
the price of intermarriage that
results from living in an open
society.”
